Yeah that was during idle. The temps got bad after I tweaked the bios setting as per this:

This is what the bios was like before I tweaked it:

Anything suspicious...because the heat of the cpu only got hotter after I changed the bios settings


Have reseated cooler and cleaned thermal paste and reapplied...temps range from 34-39%. Distance to tj max.....mid 60's

EDIT: I have flashed to FC2 now...should I zip crash logs again now?

I was going to run the memtest over night....and see what happens in the morning/ tomorrow with cold boots...

Task manager shows some little cpu spikes....like 0-7/8%......which I never noticed before...perhaps some slight bios tweaking needed?

Some of my bios settings.

hello people said:

But with what values in bios?

Look at this info....my cpu doesn't even support 1600 ram

Sorry but this is not true!

I have a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 running an i7-930 and the CPU DOES support 1600 RAM. See my system specs.

Anyways I'm running at 3.52GHZ, 1600MHz RAM @1.64v, 8-8-8-20.

Bottom line.... you can run at 1600MHZ with your RAM & CPU combo.

Now.... If the RAM isn't designed to run at 1600MHz, and you tried running it at that speed, then that would be a problem!!!

Anyways a good place to get info on that board is here.... GIGABYTE. That's where I get all my info for BIOS tweaks and such.

And.... just so you know... FB is the latest official non-beta BIOS released by Gigabyte for your board.... GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0) - GIGABYTE. Anything else is beta! Even the one Gigabyte sent you.

As for your issues, since the system is relatively new, replace the RAM and go from there.

Dave76 said:

Those Idle temps are very high, they should be around 30C.

That's basically a relative statement. Relative to what is the real question? Variables affecting temps...

Case/Case Design
CPU Cooler
Fans
Ambient temps
Room Temps
Hardware
Thermo paste
Voltage

Just to name a few.

I personally don't feel those temps are too high, but than again I don't know the variables I listed.

My two cents

Dave76 said:

Agree with some of what you said, if the CPU is running at 2.8 GHz to 3.52 GHz or more all the time, then the temps will be higher, of coarse.

Not using EIST, I would have to say my preference is to use it unless you are extreme OC'ing your system, say 4.0 GHz or above. Only for stability issues.

My 2 cents, why run your CPU and system at max settings for checking email and browsing forums, kinda like running your car engine at redline RPM to go get some milk.

Agree :)

Even though my system is overclocked, I do use EIST as well as Windows Power Management. So my system doesn't run full speed all the time :)

(temps will stablize at 72ish)

Back on topic, the OP is overclocking and seems to be changing the settings depending on what is seen on other forums.
This is not the recommended way to OC, as you will possibly get errors and blue screens.
There are many guides that explain the steps required to get a safe, stable OC.

In my opinion hello people should set his BIOS to default, sort out the BSOD issues, then try the OC'ing again.
I would recommend the slow approach with lots of testing, this will get a stable OC.
Each CPU runs and OCs differently (each i7 930 CPU OCs differently), throw in different MOBOs and different RAM and you have entered many variables. This is why the guides on OC forums recommend to go through the steps from the beginning instead of coping someone's OC settings. Your may get lucky, but one BSOD proves you weren't.

Changing RAM and CPU setting between posts just adds more variables to the equation and makes it more difficult to troubleshoot the issues.
You should start from the beginning with each new BIOS change.

Completely agree here.

I would also add that you should stick with the latest "official" BIOS, as the beta can induce unknown issues that have yet to be discovered. Thats why its beta!!!

As Dave has said, set the default values, run the system for a couple of days to see if the system is stable. After that, you can try small steps in overclocking to check stability, then progress from there.

Hope this helps.

+1 to you as well. I tried to rep, but...

Anyways if you go the this forum - GIGABYTE, you'd find it there anyway. There are tons of beta BIOS' posted all the time. I believe one of the posters has conections with Gigabyte.

I still say the OP should really spend his time there as they have some really good people who know these gigabyte boards. Especially Lsdmeasap.

Outside of the overclocking issue I think the OP has memory issues, but it's hard to tell with all the jumping around.

Thanks.
