im just doing some quick test's,to see what the g.skill 9600's can do.

So I upgraded from my Maximus Formula x38 @ x48 to the UD3P. It seems I'm having a really sucky CPU which doesn't overclock too nice at all.
I'm at pretty decent air cooling and temperatures are all fine, even better than on the Max.
CPU VID: 1.2250v
On the Max 4.0GHz (9x445) was achievable I think with either 1.4v or 1.45v.
The RAM pretty much maxed out around 1200MHz CL5 2.4v on the Max, same goes for this board.
BIOS version: F8

This whole setup seems to boot with 5-7-7-18, don't ask me why >.<
Any recommendations? Setting the RAM higher to 2.66C for example (DDR2-1187) BSOD's.
EDIT: not even this 4GHz is stable >.<
@ Radaja: What's up with your copy speed. I'm running same clocks as you with lower freq. ram:
This forum is a little weird. I would of never gotten an email or notice stating you made a response :shakes:
I do believe the MIIF board has been holding my first Q9650 back - I did boot into windows at 500fsb & 8mulit but pc would crash/freeze up 5 seconds into prime. I'm going to push for 4.5Ghz on the new board. The one thing to my surprise I do like about the MIIF board is the Ai Clock Twister which I'm wondering whats the equivalent on the Gigabyte board!?
I do know what you are talking about. I have and bought un-necessary parts for my loop. Dude, I have 4 blocks right now. The first EK i bought a while ago, I bought an EK light (is 1366 compatible) cause I am anticipating keeping the i7 on my high pressure loop (i could of just bought the 1366 mounting plate for 10$) and then, I bought another EK clear acrylic Supreme with a 1366 mounting plate used off the FS:FT forum - lol - not to mention I also picked up a GTZ Apogee for my low noise/pressure 655 & Micro res setup for my UD3R setup - but the good thing about the block purchases, is the resale on them is good so... lol
I am sorta relieved I sold off my i7 - I hear D0 will be coming out maybe the beginning of next quarter and maybe by then, the i7 mobo's will have all the bull:banana::banana::banana::banana: worked out. I've heard so many horror stories as well as success stories on them, it just seems like a 50/50 chance. And none of the boards do I really like. How is yours goin?
Good to hear from you man, hope all is well, ttyl! :up:
Just got my EP34-UD3P anyone have some basic settings on what to touch to get 3.6+ on Q6600? I have never tried a Gigabyte bios, and my ram can run 900mhz 4-4-4-12 @ 2.3 if thats of any help.
thats what ive been trying to figure out.in xp i was getting 10k across the board with 1250ddr pl8 but in vista copy drops to 9200's and up.
im going to install xp x64 and vista x64 and do some more testing.also could it be the stap im using?ive heard that there is different performance with different strap at certain fsb. i know i seem to get the best performance with the 333strap and the 5:6 divider.
Radaja is the F4 bios the best? I have a Q6600 and just upgraded to the F8 (the newest) but should I downgrade it back?
zucker2k,heres X64 xp.same exact settings,i even installed it while it was OCed forgot to set it to defaults.these scores are better.
http://i43.tinypic.com/2whfe48.jpg
well heres vista x64.maybe its a 32 bit thing?
http://i44.tinypic.com/14ybsb9.jpg
here is xp X64 at 525fsb this is much better.
http://i43.tinypic.com/121g1lj.jpg
and here is vista x64 at 525fsb.strange thing is its seems to be the same as xp?i know for a fact that xp 32 beats vista 32 everytime.
http://i43.tinypic.com/30bpxeo.jpg
Ive been playing with some lower volts lately and I think this is about as far as it goes. These are my 24/7 settings and are 10hours blend stable.

hoss,youve got a nice chip there.i know you posted it before but what is the vid?
1.15vid :up:
yea i definitely want and need a low vid chip.
Have you tried lowering your vtt and mch from the ~1.4 area? Thats what ive been playing with lately and have been able to go lower than I thought I could.
sorry guys, picking up this board tomorrow, for overclocking would you recommend bios overclocking? or using the program gigabyte gives you?
MaByBoI,bios only. just use ET6 for monitoring your settings.
Mechoz,im using F5,but my usb keyboard has issues with newer bios's,other dont have a problem.
hmm alright, is the program they give u a p.o.s? or does it work but the bios is just alot more effective and thorough?
ooo and one more question, the sata cables that they give you... are they 90 degree? so that you can run the cable directly down the motherboard?
ET6 doesnt have all the options that are in the bios but it is nice to have especially when you want to make a quick adjustment. I use it regularly with no problems. It should come with atleast 2 90* sata cables.
sounds like a keeper to me, i was originally getting a DFI T2RS+, but its now sold out where i ordered from, so i was debating between this and a maximus.. what do you guys think?
