I am at stock right now, not sure when I will attempt to OC. This PC is a family PC so I can't really tweek and mess stuff up. I hope to be getting myself a PC that I can OC and tweek all I want.

Symptoms, are you still working on OC'ing your system?

I have Dominator ram and the UD4P, not one problem with them either..

Glad to hear you got back up and running!! I will be around checking in often to see how your OC'ing goes, and I may have a few(lot) of questions for you!! Good luck... Munch

Thanks for the replies! I guess I will try vista's defrag. I liked XPs better I could see the progress!!

I found out that the issue I am having is a common double start at post issue that has been reported before. On the UD5 Gigabyte has come out with a bios update that fixes this issue. The UD4P is still being fixed and will be addressed in a later Bios update. I found the info on another...

I OC'd my new rig to 3.15ghz. After I did whenever I boot I have to push the power button twice before it will post. First push it automatically shuts off then I push button again and it fires right up..... I set back to default and it starts fine now! Is this something to worry about...

Do I need to update the Bios before I OC my system? I am affraid my system will be messed up if I flash it wrong. I heard that Raid arrays can get messed up when flashing the Bios! Is this a real problem?? I am running Bios version F2.

:I have the non toxic sapphire 4870 1g, and I have OC'd it to toxic levels and it runs fine. The fan can get loud when I play farcry2 . I had headphones on and my wife tapped me(startling me a little), and she asked if my pc was about to explode! It sounds like a small aircraft getting ready...

I have 2 500gig Samsung HDD's in raid 0. I did the PC pitstop test and it said I need to defrag my C/ drive. I read somewhere that it is risky to run defrag on raid arrays, am I right or wrong? Also which defrag prog. works best? I have Vista Home prem. 64bit. thanks, Munch

I have the gigabyte GA-EX58 UD4P, I haven't had any problems with my system. I haven't done much overclocking, just ran the gigabyte Easy tune 6 and was able to hit 3.2. Seemed solid, I reverted back to stock because I am not sure how much this will decrease the life of the hardware... I also...

Man that sucks , I am waiting to see how it goes. I am looking to OC my system a little, and was wanting some pointers(more of a step by step) on where to start. My goal is to reach 3.2-3.4ghz, I need my system to last for quite a while so not going to push it to far! Good luck with the...

I guess your right..

I have the Gigabyte GA-EX58 UD4P, it seems rock solid, haven't had any issues. I'm not a big OC'er so I am happy with my system.

I have this board and was wondering if it would be smart to flash the bios to a newer version. I am running F2 and I haven't had any issues but I have read that it has some stability support and other updates on the newer vesions. Has anyone had experience with this board and would let me know...
