hi there i have done that
vcore 1.35volts
mch 1.4volts
everything else auto
but the motherbord just wont boot do you think i have hit the highest clock with the cpu becuse i can only get 3.6 anything else and it wont post
thanks for the help
Maybe be you have yes but, mine is acting funny I think.
I just lapped my CPU and when I put it back in, cleared the CMOS and went right back to setting the settings that I had wrote down that I had set that were stable. The MB started acting all crazy and I just now got it to settle down a little, that is to stabelize a little by setting my NB to 1.5 and my nb gtl at .94 or 95.
I can't remember but, it pisses me off. I had everything wrote down to the T and it just acts like the whole game has changed on me now... Is this normal behavior any body? I know that my VDrop, is .066v, is that in spec? I am talking about VDrop here to not VDroop. :shrug:
The overclocking gods have not been smiling on me lately.
How is this board for crossfire? The manual says dual 8x lanes, what does that mean performance wise compared to dual 16x?
Hey Viper, I bench the Q9650 around 4945-4980Mhz and rams using 2:50 strap around 1360-1370Mhz PL 8 > Turbo.
But you can only do that on the P45-Extreme (UD3 2:50 is a little bugged) so I don't think my profile will help.
I can try to retrieve some of my old benching profiles from the UD3. Just need some time.
Hey guys, I don't post much but I figured I'd post my oc settings in case they can help someone out. They have held up since February I think.
Could not have worked this without this place. Love ya all and this mobo:)

Thanks to paul_ for the template:)
Edit- I want to stress the tRead value for anyone with the same board/ram combo. Go up one from the default. I could not break 473fsb and symptoms included core 1 dying out in P95 Blend after a few minutes and the nvidia driver resetting even when surfing the web.
Resolved!!! :clap: :clap: It was the excessive heat from pcb of my 4870 :eek:
That man has a point! :up:
Don't go above 1.90V on the LV kits.
No problem mate, I just wondered about that statement.
I have seen that many people have problems with the OCZ LV sticks on the Gigabyte UD3-boards, I never had any problems, mine are able to run DDR2-1066 CL5 with 1.65V... :shrug:
+1 for that at the same price the GSKILLPI 1200 and the LV GSKILLS i would not think a minute mates...mines benched till 2,5V and run all day since a year at 2,26 to 2,3 and benched lots of days at more volts, so did Jor and Napalm, Oc nub, Power Chips cant take much voltaje and dont get warm...not the same on elpyda's
I always wanted a kit that i can use with the warning "never go up than..." so i went for this and its the best kit i ever had
Those seeking on the UD3P/R great clocks and pump vdimm for benches go the the Gskills PI PC29600 without thinking inmo
Cheers to all :up:

what do think about bios F11? Is it a good bios? [Now I have F9] [I've heard which this bios has some problems...]
I have a few questions in regards to this motherboard, any body can chime in here. Your time and help are appreciated and thank you. Is a VDrop of .064 with in spec for these mother boards? Also Is it normal for the GTLs happy spots to change? Thanks again,
i loved my pi set while i had em but @ those prices i rather buy another set of ddr3 to play with
for 96$ i got another set of ddr3 hopin for 1800 cas7 and recycle them on i5
to be honest i would pay 50$-100$ more for pi than a lv ddr2;) i paid 300$ for my set last year so its dirt cheap to me now
my 9650 rig hasnt been turned on since i primed it:ROTF:
god bless my REX:up:
Am I invisible? Come on now guys, I help people all the time no one knows the answer to my couple of qeustions listed above?
I am gussing you are joking with the last part, hope so because I have been wondering to be honest :p:. I was seriously freaking out though like, what the hell???? I have it stabelized it now but I just thought it was weird along with the fact that this board has a .064 VDrop. I was thinking maybe the board is kind of a flunky but, I wasn't to sure.
I have never had to deal with VDrop before and I have had a fair amount of motherboards in the past. Thank you for your advise by the way. Does any one know about the VDrop thing, how much is to much before I should just RMA the board on the whole Vdrop issue?? My Asus motherboard had like, none. Thanks again,
As far as the GTLs "happy spot" changing with OCs, I dont think there is any consensus, as I asked this question a while back. The advice given for the Q9650 was to set VTT to 1.2 then change gtls to .78 and .80 (CPU and MCH). Some people stated that this ratio should remain the same regardless of OCs, and I believe it has worked for some. Others as zsamz has stated say you should continue to tweak the GTLs when you make OC changes. I believe in the first part, but thats only based on simplicity as I dont want to keep tuning them with every OC. I havent done a ton of P95Blend, but for me setting the .78 and .80 at 1.2VTT has worked for all my OCs (Q9650). Of course I have raised VTT but the ratio remains the same. It would be nice to hear from others on this issue.
I won't be going back to Asus until I see they have a winner again in the future maybe but, I am concerned about the VDrop though and wondering if I should care or not still.
I will probably just go buy another Power Supply tomorrow and send this one back to Silverstone to see what they think about it to be safe. I will get a bigger wattage one so, I can take out the booster. Thanks again if any one has an opinion on the whole VDrop, issue.
^ same here with the f11. I had to up my voltages from f9 settings for stability.
<Happily plugging away on the new mobo here. Still priming to make sure the new board is where I left off with the old one.
If you own an Intel processor then Vdroop is your friend.
I've said this countless time. I use my stable settings with the Vdroop control disabled and all the C1, C2, EIST, Thermal Management estates on Enabled...
The only problem with this board is that little part that sits between the chair and the monitor.
If you don't have time to sit down, take notes and spend a couple of weeks learning how to OC a quad till 5Ghz, then this board is not for you.
No Asus, DFI, MSI, etc can touch it with Quads.
