Just a quick success story for the doubters:
Just got a ud3p with a C1 q9550. Pulled out the old board, slapped in the new ud3p, and stuck the fuzion water block on the q9550, powered on, went into the bios, set the fsb to 400, and installed vista ultimate 64. The ONLY change I made was to set the fsb to 400, and to set my 8g (4x2g) 1.8V g skill pi's to 400 (2.00d) and boom done. I now have a completely stable 3.4G quad with ddr2-800 running 1:1 with the fsb. WOW was that easy and what a fast machine. :clap:
This is the best mobo I've EVER installed. Beats the old evga 680i/Q6600 combo hands down.

PS anyone want to buy a evga 680i SLI A1 with a q0 q6600? :ROTF:
oops I need to update my sig :eek:
Got a link for the f6 bios? Can't seem to find it on the gigabyte site.Quote:

I'll be removing all the heatpipes tomorrow and trying to fit blocks, I'll keep you posed.

SB dont need any wc. Just replace the tim.
I think EK-NB/SB 5 should fit the board because the mounting holes on the nb is around 64mm. I`m using zern.
Review of the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R
Since the front page didn't include any site reviews of this particular model, I figured I share this link for the review at BT.

I have an E8400 C0 VID 1.215 cooled by a TRUE120 with Noctua 1200rpm fan, Gigabyte EP45-DS5 mobo BIOS F12, Exceleram 4GB DDR2 1150MHZ, Leadtek GTX 260 896MB stock frequencies 4 now, 2x640GB Western D. + 2x640GB SAMSUNG F1 HDD's, ASUS XONAR DX, all housed in Antec 1200 CASE and powered by Cooler Master Real Power M700 700w power source. I think it's quite a well balanced system.
I wanna clock my E8400 to 4Ghz (8x500) and my ram to 1200 using 5:6 divider. But I need help ... don't really understand all the settings and abundence of voltages from BIOS.
I don't know what is 2 much for this dual core cpu and what voltages should I increase to attain it.
What Performance Level this ram is able to do @ 1200 MHZ?
Could u share some settings ? ... I'd really apreaciate all the help u peoples in this forum could give me.
Sorry 4 this long post ... Share some settings please.
This is the EP45-UD3 thread... Not sure if the bios is the same. Give us a template of your bios and maybe we can help.Quote:

Plus being watercooled will also let me try for 5g on the quad.
Got it! Thanks.Quote:

Using Q6600 with F6d, everything is fine and could still lower the VTT and PLL.:up:
nothing RE: the DDR3 'UD3' models? :( ; I'm thinking of getting EP45T-UD3R sometime in the next couple months..
awsome bro i didnt know there was a review on this board..Quote:

One thing I noticed on examing the board. My northbridge is held down by screws. I checked 5 different review sites and 3 of them had the board with screws and two with pushpins (similar to the pics on the front page of this thread).
Is this indicative of a board revision?
