I think give a try to F10b...but DON'T PUT F10e
I'm not sure about the UD3R, on the UD3P I would not go above f10b bios. Sergio has been having problems since flashing to f10e
EDIT: was reading your mind Sergio lol.
I'm on f9 (UD3R) with no noticeable compatibility issues. They just released f11. Link It says "increased cpu compatibility". Not sure what cpu they mean (what cpu they've added), but my q9650 works great with f9 as does my e8400. I've used crucial ballistix 6400, gskill 8500pi, ocz reaper 8500, ocz blade 9200, and gskill 9600 mems on it and there's no problems to note. if it ain't broke don't fix it applies to these bioses. f9 is sufficient IMO.
That's a hell of a feat, i'm not suprised. it should take quite a bit of tweaking to get there, if it's even possible for your chip.
flashed my board (UD3P ver 1.6) to the FDa bios, the lan ports gave a hardware error after booting into W7 Ultimate RTM, i have a multiple boot setup and the same thing on the Vista Ultimate 64 side. tried reinstalling drivers, didn't change anything, flashed back to the old bios.
i liked the "quick boot", didnt give it a chance to OC, no web, i cant hang with that!:)
ok well my board is not a lemon:rofl:
i was primin n took a 2.5 hour nap:eek: i never prime over 1 hour lol
4 sticks 1200 @500x8.5
500x9 takin 1.49v even with different gtls
1:1 divider dont work @500fsb ? lol
primin @ 4.45 @ 1.44v not worth the xtra .05 for 50mhz
200D pl9 works best zsamz for 1:1 or 240B if your ram is good for it. I have to say with the bad luck you've had using giga boards this is a huge step giving them another shot. After a couple bad experiences with any company I very rarely go back and try them again.
Ok guys, please help me here, I am new to this motherboard. I am able to land the following right now stable Prime and Intel Burntest and OCCT.

I turned off EIST and all that safety crap. Tell me if I missed anything here you want to see and thank you to whom ever helps me as it is appreciated.
truehighroller: everything looks good to me. To go much higher you will probably have to adjust your advanced clock control.
I will try messing with those settings and see what haopens. Thank you, I traded my other Q9550 chip in for another one by the way. I think that it was kinda flaky. The good news is I have a VID of 1.175v now instaed of 1.225v :up:.
I will report back on what happens, maybe that is why I am having issues booting past 475.
Thanks Noob, I just got 480 to boot but, I had to set my shiat to 1:1. Will report back.
good to see people sticking to their principles.
now all you have to do is add the gigabut UD3P
to your sig with a thumbs up:D
i know you havent had it that long yet
but you know its a great board:D
i have to agree with OCnub,and im glad you gave gigabyte
another chance.although im sure you were just tired of us
begging you to give this board a chance:D
exactly right, if you have a Q9650 or any quad then its the best 775 board
hands down.any other cpu and its just about the same as other P45's
I'm at 500x8.5 NOW WOOT!!. :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: is hot though. I might have to take this back if me tweaking the cooler tonight doesn't resolve the heat issues it is havng. I am at work and do not have it connected to the internet though so no validate until I get home later tonight.
This board is tricky to get used to. I don't know if any one here has this issue but, if I try to set my settings all at once when first tweaking my BIOS settings it won't boot. I have to set the basic settings first which are my CPU Voltage and my NB voltage and leave everything else at auto, then come back and tweak the rest of the settings in order to boot. Is this normal behavior with this board?
Edit: 510FSB!
I wish I had brought my TIM and that washer for my thermalright extreme with me. I left out the washer and when under load I am getting high temps now so, I don't know if it is because of the washer being left out or maybe I didn't do a good enough job cleaning off the old TIM.... I'm at 510FSB though and I am able to open CPU-Z. :YIPPIE:
i got a coolmaster 212 on mine i gotta say its kickin my trues ass
f4 is the original bios and backup, It will stay that. If you flash to f10e that will become the new backup bios from what I understand. I would not go any higher than f10b. You can flash the backup bios by using ALT+F12. But once you go to f10e you cannot go backwards on the backup bios.
i will tell my story of hell with bios F10e
I was running F10b perfect OC'n hard never had an issue...i decided to try F10e and hell started...i could read on bios hitting F9 main bios F10e / backup F10e...
So i just tought go back to F0b but couldnt with Qflash, so have to do it on flashspi...but then EVERY time i failed hard on an OC F10e came back over and over...i did all to get rid of it and couldnt...so when bios F10f was posted i flashed and hit Alt + F12 on post and there was a question if i want to put my main bios as backup so i say yes...Bios F10f seems good but i prefeer F10b.
So now i have F10b as main and F10f as backup
If you want my opinion DONT put F10e go for F10b or F10f or you will have my same problem. Of course those crashes will never happen if you dont push hard, i was benching to 4815 and 4900
Cheers
Sergio
