I have batch #L845B522, also have a q9550 with the same vid-1.2125 but is much cooler running, 30c idle 40's under load. Even with high vcore the 9550 doesn't really even get hot. Guess it was just bad luck.
Hey guys.
I bought my self this motherboard. EP45-UD3P.
It s a high FSB lower. :) All settings on auto and i reached 664 FSB on C2D E8500:
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=527087
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=520385
When i benched the E8500 and that mobo under LN2 i reached 671 FSB :
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=527110
I think that the RAM is the problem for a higher FSB.
Max frequency on E8500 was 6015 MHz 1.77V :
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=527087
But i had one problem and that is that the mobo stopped working normaly and started to crash after about 15 min of overclocking. I think that she dosen't like to much cold. I tryed it 5 times and always after about 15 min it started to act funny, giving me bad performance and low clocks. It looks like when the mobo get's cold it refuses to work normaly.
"always after about 15 min it started to act funny, giving me bad performance and low clocks. It looks like when the mobo get's cold it refuses to work normaly."
spanked and sent to bed w/no dinner......Those are really good numbers.
This chip just doesn't have what it takes (or I dont) to make it to 4.25ghz on air. Hit 75c running prime small fft's at 1.36v. Will have a better chance with my q9550. Cannot keep the temps down. Was able to get the FSB I wanted just not with a 9 multi so not a total loss :ROTF:, was good experience if nothing else.
I can't even install OS on this thing. When Vista begins install it crashes either during installation or right after the first boot setting up the computer. I have tried several settings, including Optimized. Could someone point me to a straight out the box BIOS set-up to work with. If all else fails am going to RMA.
I have two HDD's One Seagate, other Western Digital (Both SATA). SATA DVD Burner. I have UD3P, Q6600 G0 or B0 Stepping (Sorry not home). I have 2X2GB Corsair XMS2 Memory 5-5-5-18 1.8V.
This actually happened with my other MOBO. Everything is new except Nvidia 7600GT GPU. PSU-Ultra Modular 800W.
Thanks for the help.
Hello, first time OC'er here having some fun with my UD3P and Q9650. I've been reading the Noob OC guides as well as viewing other peoples specs/settings to help get me started. I OC'd to 3.6 and ran Prime small blend overnight, one of the cores had an error ("Rounding was 0.49..., expected less than 0.4") after 2 hours, all of the other cores made it through the night. I also ran memtest for 90 minutes with zero errors. Here are my settings:

Any advice on my settings are greatly appreciated. I'm certainly no expert but I think my vcore is a tad high for a 3.6 OC, I'm sure I could lower it but I was just trying to give myself headroom to OC higher, and my temps were fine.... oh speaking of:
3.6 OC
idle temps: 33/33/25/31
load temps: 60/58/50/50
Should I loosen my RAM timings? 5-7-7-20?
Should I specify the (G)MCH Freq Latch? My options are 266, 200, 333 and 400.
I really have no idea what the MCH and ICH voltages should be... I based mine off of what I saw other people had.
Pretty much same thing with the RAM voltages, my RAM has 1.8-1.9 on the box so I just chose 1.84?!?
Thank you for your time!!
Change the things noted by the ***; if i didnt overlook anything "that" should get you stable up to approx 4 ghz. Try to keep your Vcore, Vtt, and MCH core pretty close to each other. Also to set your refs; set your vtt to 1.2, then set your mch/ref to .76 (or whatever the default is) then set your cpu/ref to .76 (default).
Then; increase your VTT (cpu termination) to whatever you want.
Usually one click or so below your Vcore. Your CPU and MCH refs will change when you change your VTT. You may need to adjust them later, but this should get your started. After you have a good overclock, you can try to lower the voltages one at a time, while testing each change.
Set your Vcore and Vtt with prime95 small fft, and mch core/refs with memtest.
With these voltages; you can start @ 3.6Ghz and then see how far you can go up before you need to change anything. This should get you started anyway.:up:
OOPS,,,,You got lots o'ram...You may need more MCH core for that and also your DRAM/voltage might need to be increased also,
good luck
Im not familar with that ram, but it may need 2 or 2.1 volts ??? but dont try it until someone else (more familiar with that particular ram) chimes in
Does anyone else think my temps are bit high, considering the volts, room is ~26C, its only drawing 40watts on power and it is with a IFX-14 with a 3000RPM fan?
http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/m...1992/WTF-1.jpg
My Q6600 @ 3.6GHz would use 140watts, 1.3v and in a ~26C room it would run at those temps.
So are E5200's normally this hot?
Thanks
Thanks what I was thinking, i'll re-apply the thermalpaste :)
Hi folks,
Appreciate any tips on this. I was able to push my e7300 past 3.4ghz, I'm now running a stable 3.6ghz... but I can't seem to push it further than that. Also, FSB doesn't seem to like when i push it past 400mhz.http://C:\Users\Edward\Pictures\Settings.jpg

Was able to get 483fsb to pass small ffts overnight, running blend now :). Im sure the memory is good where its at so should be fine.. Had to enable llc to keep the vcore down to where temps were even remotely acceptable (to me) most wouldn't run at these temps but at this point I really don't care. This chip was bought to run 4.25ghz for 24/7 use make it or break it. Need to reapply the thermal paste, I had a 14c difference between cores although I think the sensor's are off a bit. With lower vcore they were in line with each other but now 2 cores read 10 to 14c higher than the other 2 under load running small fft's. Vcore1.3375v bios LLC VTT1.260 MCH1.30 Ref. voltages were left at normal, ..760
different hardware configurations may or will have different results, i think.
i ran super_pi test only, but after that it (usually) requires and i would add a few more volts for prime95.
i'm not interested in running the IBT yet.
==========================
btw, here's a little comparison between my own boards.
super_pi 32m times of EP45-UD3R DDR2 XP x64 OS vs. EP45T-UD3R DDR3 Vista 32-bit.

Thanks mreld3r... very helpful. I entered the values you suggested... first thing, when I entered 1.34 for VTT and MCH Core the CPU and MCH References automatically changed to .848.... Is that ok or was I supposed to try and keep them at .76?
I was able to get into windows just fine up to 450x9 and run my typical software without any noticeable problems. I ran into problems though with memtest and prime blends (they failed immediately)... prime small fft's ran fine on a short 10 minute test but my temps during that were: 70/66/58/58 and the cpu read 71. This is too high correct?
Due to the memtest and prime blends errors I assume the RAM settings need to be tweaked?

I wanted to ask if anyones computer hangs at start up,particulary on the logo page,stays there for 5 mins,and can also hang on the page were it says welcome,
maybe this has something to do with my current overclock,has anyone else experienced this,any help would be great.cheers

sometimes after I change some bios settings mine will hang on the windows screen that says 'loading user settings' for a minute or two.

It hangs up when my OC is bad. I normally don't wait for it to fix itself, I hit the reset button. If it does it again I shut it down and turn the power switch off a couple times for around 30 seconds or so. That normally takes care of it. Then go back into bios and try different settings..
