verry weird this board prefers d9gkx instead of d9gmh
i was 7 hour prime stable n i took out my 4 stix of gkx to take heatspreaders off n put in my best gmh and it failed in 2 min lol
put back in 4 sticks of gkx all good
does the board degrade with 4 stix?
I have two questions for the UD3x gurus. :)
Mine (UD3P) is a rev. 1.6 board, BIOS FB.
1. Using my Q9550 C1, it ups vCore nicely... in .0625v(or whatever) increments til 1.600v. Next jump is 1.620 then 1.640, etc. Using 1.600v with LLC on, shows 1.584v in CPU-Z( moderate vDrop...vDroop is good though). When i up it to 1.620v, it skyrockets to 1.664v in CPU-Z :shocked: ; 1.640v BIOS gives 1.680v in CPU-Z. So..a .02v jump gives a .08v increase! Is this a well known issue? It does make stability much better, but at the cost of huge vCore increase(and frazzled nerves).
2. Figuring how excellent this board O/Cs my Q9550, i decided that i can't wait to see what it would do for my Pentium D915, which i got 5068MHz with on my P35-DS3L. The wall on the P35 came, because vCore in BIOS stops at 1.600v(~1.568v CPU-Z), then the next jump is 1.800v...too much for air. I assumed that the UD3P should give me some nice control in the 1.600v-1.700v range. Wrong! It only gives max 1.400v in BIOS/ET6.....BIG letdown. Anyone know about this/why? :bs: :censored:
-Q9550/E8400/E6600/PD-915(was hoping for personal bests on all these)
-EP45-UD3P(v1.6/FB)
-9800GTX+
-VX550
-XP Pro SP2/W-7 RC
-TRUE
Sorry if these have been brought up before,this thread is like trying to read the Bible...a year-long undertaking.
TIA
Tanker :)
BAM!

And one more, I can probably drop the voltage core on this one but whatever.

LOVE THIS BOARD!
Very nice vcore on 4250, you should be able to lower for 4335.Quote:

I think it was hitting 80s under full load. I think the chip has a flaw on the inside to where it isn't making good contact with the cores completely. Kinda sucks it is a good chip. I don't even think water would make that big of a difference to be honest. I am going to keep tinkering with it for a couple of nights and see if anything changes or not.
Why is the PCI-Express at 8x? :confused:Quote:

Different subject, I am looking in to water coling but, I don't know yet.. I am still debating. If I am going to get water cooling I am going for the best stuff that is for sure. I was looking around today at blocks and pumps and radiators. I might be just pushing my cooler further then what it can handle and the temps might actually be swell.
I will under clock it to 3.8GHz and see if my temps are close to my old Q9450 and if they are then I am pushing it is my guess and I will probably buy a water cooling setup. Maybe I can find a formula to use or a calculator tha will tell me the Wattage.
Edit:
Found calculator, I am burning 189 - 195 Watts. I can not, find how ever the rating for the Thermalright 120 extreme.
You may have to change the power settings in control panel.Quote:

Edit:
Spoke to soon again, it is the chip. Is it possible that the sensors in it are whacked out? It was reaching upward of 94c at 3.8GHz. VDroop doesn't cause that right? This board has a .04v droop.
Wow, what a great thread. I find myself needing a new mobo for my Q9450 & OCZ Blade low voltage DDR2 1066 setup after frying my Asus Maximus Formula (X38) setup (my fault, long story). I really don't need X38 features and after searching a bit found this thread showing a really good line of P45 mobo's that appear to provide a great value.
So – my question – other than specific features such as Raid support or Xfire is there any significant difference between the various P45-UD3 mobo's? I'm not running Xfire and I don't need DDR3 support so I'm a bit puzzled at the choices – they all appear to be solid and I can't see the difference between, say, going with the lower cost UD3L (in DDR2 variety) vs a UD3P or UD3R (obviously the latter having RAID). So – am I missing anything?
I'll be mounting a Prolimatech Megahalems cooler so if there's any clearance issues that would be good to know – had to mount sideways on the Maximus but that was OK as it's in a CM690 case so it blew straight up towards the top where I have exhaust fans mounted.
Thanks!
P has Crossifre at 8x by 8x speeds the R doesn't. I would get one of these two if I was you, they say you get what you pay for.
I don't need the Xfire (and, really, if I was going to Xfire I'd probably want to do it at x16 X 2) and I'm ambivalent about RAID support (I've had RAID chipsets on my last two systems but have yet to deploy a RAID group). Other than that I'm not seeing what the differentiators are between the boards.
As far as getting what you pay for . . . I mean, being UD3 series, they all have the extra copper PCB's, the better caps, as well as the carryovers from UD2 like lower RDS MOSFETs, ferrite choke, etc. - right?
So as I review the offerings on Newegg (typically representative of fair "street" pricing) I see:
GA-EP45-UD3R for $119.99 less $15 rebate, total of $104.99
GA-EP45-UD3P for $134.99 less $20 rebate, total of $114.99
GA-EP45-UD3L for $109.99 less $15 rebate, total $94.99
GA-EP45C-UD3R for $129.99 less $20 rebate, total $109.99
After the base UD3 features that I expect all of them share (correct me if I'm wrong) it would appear that the "extras" are:
EP45-UD3R has RAID support (ICH10R)
EP45-UD3P has Xfire and RAID support
EP45C-UD3R has support for DDR3 & DDR2 and RAID
EP45-UD3L has none of the above and may not have Firewire (couldn't confirm, all the rest have Firewire)
So - am I missing anything else? It's not *really* the money, I'm just frugal, and typically look at the cost differences in terms of . . . how much beer would that buy? :) So if I don't need Xfire or RAID is there something else I'm just not catching? Thanks again.
if you can afford the UD3R,its your best bet.its a proven clocker
i dont know much about the UD3L and ddr3 are bad boards
Stay away from the C -- Combo DDR2/DDR3 board. One can say take the UD3R over the UD3L as it has better HS's on the board components. And it has an 8 pin CPU power connector unlike the 4 pin on the UD3L. However I have a GA-EP45T-UD3LR (DDR3 version) and it only has 4 pin CPU power and I'm running it at 8x500 (see sig). I'd go for the UD3R cause of the better cooling HS.
Edit:
Oh, and BIOS is a little more cut down on the UD3L series in the M.I.T. section.
Why, is the combo board bad?Quote:

Great info, thank you. OK, going to order the UD3R then.Quote:

Either way works for me as I have exhaust fans in both the top and back of my CM-690 - I just like to have these things planned out as much as possible. Any info you could share would be welcome. TIA.
traditional...one panaflo 38mm push config
@Zuck, Nice work! How's the bandwith in Everest?Quote:
