FPO:Q842A861 vid 1.20

I think it's quite acceptable. What do u think guys? :p:

double post ... sorry ... my mistake ...

Which RAM would you recommend for this board an 8 GB setup? I am thinking about this board + Q9550 + 8 GB RAM, but I dont know if it would be stable. I am dreaming about 8.5x480 FSB at 1:1 RAM. Is it possible with 2.1V RAM kits, like the Corsair TwinX 1066 CL5? If not, I think I will go with i7 920, but that woud be much much more expensive...

go to VTT = 1,20 set .785 on CPU REF and .80 on MCH ref and then go up on VTT and let refs change auto and it will do fine

zsamz, you owe me a set of d9gmhs for all the grief you've given us for being "gigabut" owners. I'd like to see what Jor3lBR has to say to you. :) Anyway, :welcome: to gigabuttville - we eat quads for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

Not only do we eat the quads, we eat them at the highest FSB you can imagine and it takes us little tweaking to get there :p:

wait the board is still alive lets see if it will last
we both know failure rate is high on these :rofl: i got rev 1.1 so might get lucky lol
i only booted it 1 time waitin on heatsink i dont wanna take heatsinks from other rigs i get my sink on tuesday n aimin for 5ghz on air with the help of my a/c
dont worry i'm sure the board will chew up a pair of my best d9ghm:rofl: thankfully i didnt sell em all i got 6 sets that will do 1200+
before 2008 all boards gigabut made were garbage;) woopdidoo they finally made a board that didnt suk lol
i was averagin a gigabut every 5 weeks so ... cross your fingers n toes lol
1 thing thats reassuring my freinds gigabut is still alive @ 500x8 since i set it up for him i gave him greif for buyin the board lol
i coulda saved money buyin gigabut v-cards but i had to stick to my boycott
damn i shoulda sold my q9650 :rofl:

ya Jor3lBR you told me :rofl: but i didnt have a quad and bandwidth still suks on the board:rofl:

can we see some comparison of the BAD bandwidth?? too ur good bandwidth?
just wondering :D

Using GB UD3P, G.Skill PC2-8800 DDR2-1100 8GB Memory @ 1.8v running 471FSB 1:1. Perfectly stable.

Lol zsam you finally made a move:

"You see there is only one constant. One universal. It is the only real truth. Causality. Action, reaction. Cause and effect." Merovingian.

You now have a Quad (cause), you need to buy a UD3 (effect). ;)


Well Elite said it all, bandwidth means nothing with a Quad running at 3.6Mhz... I had sky high bandwidth with my Quad on a DFI that would never pass 450fsb.

Now I have 5Ghz with the same quad and the speed is just not even fair to compare :ROTF: Bandwidth is overrated.

You will really enjoy this board, I hope you have a Quad that can keep up with it :up:

yup i never really bothered with this thread lol
i was limited to 475fsb
was gonna go i5 but you never know what cpu you get
and ddr3 is overrated

GA-EP45-UD3R - F11

-Improve CPU compatibility
-XHD RAID Support
-Fix Memory-mapped I/O in 32-bit system
Released date:31.Aug 09

Anybody got GA-EP45-UD3P - F10f BIOS?
If yes,please post here.Thanx :D

thanks for posting this new BIOS, stasio. Hopefully, this will address my VDROP and VDROOP issues with my UD3R. 1.4 in BIOS drops to 1.38 in PC Health Status and 1.36 in Windows then VDROOP puts it in 1.34~1.35 :(

EDIT: is this official? How come I don't see it at Gigabyte Taiwan or US' website? Only F9 is there.

EDIT (again): Nevermind, I found out where you got the link through your sig. :)

Yes, a Xeon W3520, the i7 920 equivalent. :up:

@zsamz_

You finally made it, :welcome: to Gigabyte, am I the cause for this or is it your quad. :D

Rather easy to get 500 with it, wasn´t it, now you have to have a good set of ram that can do DDR2-1200+, then you can play with the guys at the top. :yepp:

Good luck with your Gigabyte adventure. :)

Good :up:

Hey guys, I dunno how to say this but the new BIOS for UD3R is good. At the same clockspeed, I needed to tune CPU GTL Ref to get this mild overclock stable but with the F11, it just passes everything at stock voltages. Here's one running for 2 hours now. :)

http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/2061/capturesl.png

I left the memory timings loose though because when I put my initial settings with the F9 BIOS, the computer just wouldn't boot so I loosened the timings including tRD settings and stable so far.
