Your reference voltages for CPU and MCH are off. try setting default vtt 1.20v and try .785 cpu ref and .80 mch ref, then raise vtt back up, leaving ref's alone. a bump up or down a notch can make a difference in stability. The other ref's leave auto until you get some stability at your desired oc, then learn them. You may need more mch. You will probably be able to lower vcore and vtt with the correct reference voltages.

If you take the time to look through this thread all the answers are here.

Downloaded RealTemp vs 3.0, cant find my VID.

Where in the picture the VID is located I have a time counter going up.

Correction.

VID is 1.25 at my clocks in my previous post, I do not know if my voltage modification has changed or if it is possible to change my VID.

Your vid never changes, it will always read the same, check cpu voltage with cpuz.

I'm in now. Chip should be here Friday. I already have the ram (gskill9600 PI) but the board is an ud3R not a ud3P though. We'll see. I expect good things. I really want 4500 stable for daily use (under 1.4v in cpuz). it should be simple after dealing with this high vid chip.

I'm going to be adding another radiator in the process too. Right now I'm cooling my gtx285 with a koolance fc block inthe same loop as my pc on a dtek v2. I'll be adding a mcr220 to my current mcr320 for added cooling power.

I'll post pics of my new baby when she arrives.

I'm on vista 64, do you guys think I'd see better oc results from 7?

I preordered already for this machine, just waiting till release. My real issue with it is that I play bf2142 pretty frequently, and I've read it won't let punkbuster work properly with 7 (it sees it as non-retail o/s and kicks you a lot).

nice i wish you luck mate, also nice to have 2 loops

yes W7x64 better than Vista inmo

Cheers and post when you got it so we got some play time :D

well was fun while i had it. Returned the board. S3 sleep wouldnt work no matter what setting i played with. Only would work bone stock @ 266 fsb.

for some that might not be a big deal, but borked sleep mode is a deal breaker for me. I wonder if i had a bunk board? Back on my P35 and everything stable and working good.

going to get a lynnfield set up

BIOS available today:

GA-EP45T-UD3P - F8c
GA-EP45-UD3P - F10f

Thanks.

Scared to flash mine from F9c...I got a corrupted BIOS and it reverted to the backup BIOS so I don't know how to get the other one working again, lost all my profiles :(

Lately my board has been hanging on cold boot too, takes a few hard resets sometimes to get it to get past the memory check, usually just stops after it recognized the CPU and sits all day long :shrug:

What revision board are you on tool? I get mine today WOOT! Now I think about it my GA-P35 DQ6 had that issue every now and then towards the end there. It wouldn't do it on stock settings though so.

Nah the sleep thing is a special Gigafail bonus feature that comes with these boards.
Was the case on mine too.

Revision 1.6.

You might try backing the FSB down a little, and see if it continues or not. My P35 DQ6 deffinately had the same issue towards the end of me having it though no doubt about it. I was curious about the revision of your board based on your over clock though if you were wondering. I am just hoping this revision isn't crap compared to the 1.0 that is.

I'll deal with the boot issue rather than back my FSB down :rofl:

As far as overclocking, 525 FSB is easy to get stable with a quad and 8GB :D Probably could go higher, but my RAM holds me back.

I"ve currently gotten a blend\prime\orthos stable 4.05ghz overclock on my Q9650. Below is the setup.

---
Robust Graphics Booster = Turbo
CPU Clock Ratio = 9X
CPU Freqency = 4.05GHZ (450x9)

PCI Express Clock Drive=900mv

Performance Enhance = Standard
Extreme Memory profile (X.M.P) = Disabled
(G) MCH Frequency Multiplier = 2.66D
Memory Frequency = 1066\1200
Timings 5-5-5-15
Channel A\B Driving Settings = OC1200

CPU PLL=1.590
CPU Ref=0.886

MCH Core=1.360
MCH Ref=0.901
MCH/DRAM Reference=.0940
ICH I/0 = 1.570
ICH Core=1.200

Dram Voltage=2.100V - Pink
Dram Term= 1.050 - Pink
Channel A Ref= 1.050V - Pink
Channel B Ref= 1.050V - Pink

---

Anything unlisted is auto.

Im not sure what I could adjust for stabilty or bring up for additional performance, ive overclocked in the past but not since my AMD Athlon XP3000 and i've had a few rigs since then but im not fimilar with alot of these terms and had done lots of readings and found this "Blend" to work well thus far. Please let me know if anything stands out as a sore thumb.

Also I have a very nice high air-flow 10,000 RPM fan screwed into the Northbridge heatsink it stays very cool, (Pulled the blue gigabyte label\metal cover off).

My CPU temps are at idle roughly 32c, load 50.

Thanks!

So my VID is 1.25, which from reading isnt the ideal 1.15.

My above clocks are stable but id love to see 500mghz FSB x9 = 4.50ghz.

Can anyone help me maximize my 9650?

Heh guys...if i pass windows memtest (4instances) 200% does that mean my Vdimm, timings, MCH ref, MCH voltage is spot on?

Ok guys i tested this OC for an hour + on prime blend BIOS F10f...then decided to go back to F10B using Qflash...after restart SAME DAMN PROBLEM " BIOS RECOVERING AND F10e CAME BACK" I NEVER EVER HAVE THIS PROBLEMS BEFORE FLASHING F10e GIGABYTE PLEASE FIX this its an awesome board doesnt diserve this...

bios damage board?

Ok guys i flashed back to F10b and that OC that i can pass on F10f i cant pass it on F10b, it fails in seconds...so i think that they adjusted something, thats why latencies are lower...So only thing they must fix is have the original bios as backup and not F10e.

Cheers

yeah for the most part.

did you run Prime95 Blend and small ffts?

also try running OCCT, usually it finds errors alot faster.

and lastly like 10 passes of Linnpack, although that might be over kill.

Nope mate, there a lot of users on other forums reporting the same i started to get that when installed F10e, and talked to stasio and its like that. If i leave F10e or F10f wich im on now nothings wrong...but somehow this bios allowed my to do fine on 8,5multi and a little more on mem divider 2,50A wich sucked badly needed lots of volts...

Thank you
Sergio

For me f10f allows stable work with 2.4D memory divider:
[img=http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/175/4gigi.th.jpg]

It's me or after some time voltage droop slightly increases ?

I had set prime95 running earlier today, I have just come to the PC and it is off. I turned it on via the power button and prime95 resumed from where it left off.

I have checked the BIOS and all power management features have been turned off, EIST etc.

Is this a Windows 7 issue or a BIOS setting?

i finally playin with the board
startin to prime @ 500x9
