For the price a single 128gb was the best bet I thought. I would pay the same price for the single 128gb as I would for 2 30gb drives. I plan on adding another one later when I get some more money.

Ehm , I think that SSD has a bad controller and very poor I/O performance.
You know it's just not all about the GB's.

Furthermore:

F8 final bios for gigabyte UD5 and Extreme are released. http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=2958#anchor_os

Improve PCIe/Memory compatibility

Some user experiences with F8 @ xtremesystems

yeah the 950 you still have to get lucky in vcore lottery, just not as lucky in bclk/qpi/vtt lottery, since you can run with higher multi. But there are i920 that OC better than mine...I got 950 so when winter comes I can get 5+ just with "chilled" water, unless I decide to bite the bullet sooner and try ln2.

regarding pcie improved...maybe. I always froze at or above 103.3 on earlier bioses, now I freeze at 104.0 (using set fsb), 103.7 is stable 103.9 is kinda. My bclk made it to 230.7 before freezing, maybe 231 with tinkering just did quick test need to head back to work, whereas before 229 froze, so if it is an improvement and not just variability, it is a baby step improvement on mine. Though I did not try tinkering with volts much...

Maby I can get 4,8Ghz now

i have to say im impressed with this F8 bios, i just upgraded from F7 and the board now boots much quicker now with ACHI and RAID enabled

I enabled XHD aswell, no idea what it does and havn't seen an improvement in HDtach or anything but it works so i left it on :up:

For some reason my 1866C7GT would'nt run at 1866 with the F7 bios either, all good with this F8 release

Yes there is an issue with all USB Keyboards, and I do believe this affects the whole X58 series. I had passed this info along during the last few beta's but my contact has been super busy and must not have gotten the Info to the BIOS engineers in time, or they forgot? I won't be able to say for sure though until after the 31st when he is back in the office.

Hopefully Hicookie reads this and passes this along to the BIOS Engineers, if anyone speaks with him on a regular basis they might want to remind him to let them know so it can be fixed in the next round of beta's. I do believe JZ is letting them know about the issue, but anyone else that can also remind them it would be greatly appreciated as I reminded them a few times and they forgot it seems.

XHD SATA Support is simply RAID, they just renamed the function due to upcoming SATA3.

What drive? The Pat. Torqx?

I have not even bothered with the newer BIOS due to the USB keyboard bug I had with F8E, the F8D are working well for me but when the big is gone I think I will try the new ones.

boomstik360 · Aug 14, 2009

Yeah man thats awesome, lets push for 4ghz under 1v!

DanishDevil · Aug 14, 2009

Hey it's thanks to you dude. I'd be nowhere without your help and suggestions!

dude, yes I did. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't

low volts are fun

time to reboot and see what how low i can run stock speed

My Kudos go to mudkip, I want your 920

DanishDevil · Aug 14, 2009

4GHz on EVERYTHING AUTO!!!!

wolf · Aug 14, 2009

yeah see thats not overly great.... however NOTHING to sneeze at, 4ghz brah!

For instance I dont mind my i7 to have nearly the best speed to vcore ratio on TPU, and i get 4200 stable with 1.35v set in bios.

DanishDevil · Aug 14, 2009

But this was with EVERYTHING on AUTO. Even vCore. And it just booted NO problem. This board fucking ROX.

after this post I wonder what people think of me :eek:

@ danishdevil

Good job bro, im sure you can work that vcore down a lot at 4ghz, but why not see how high you can go with just that vcore

DanishDevil · Aug 14, 2009

I'm gonna run it undervolted for 20 times at max RAM. Bookstik told me about conditioning the CPU. Never heard of it, but I guess it's worth a try

so how does that work again?

DanishDevil · Aug 14, 2009

Lower the voltage until you get the lowest you can run stable at stock speeds, then burn it for a few hours, then up the voltage a tad and get your max oc, then repeat until you get a great OC.

It used to run at .88V stock speeds no problem, but now it's having trouble doing so at just under .9, so I think it's actually killing it. I'm just doing 3.5GHz at stock volts right now, everything else set to auto.

mastrdrver · Aug 14, 2009

You have to put it in the corner and barely feed it. That way when it grows up it's all like :slap:

to anything that gets in it's way. :laugh:

After reading that, I realize I need to go to bed. :laugh:
