Did we ever get a new bios for this board?
I just got GIGABYTE EP45T USB3P and I think using my dominator 2kgtc7 are not working as they should.
I can only get 4400 (not stable, cascade) with very lax memory timing ~1333 9-9-9 or slower.
this board blows at clocking memory.Quote:

I have a feeling PSC's might clock better on this board but I sold it before I could test with my GTX3's:shrug:
Also try raising the NB volts
I see that there was an F2d bios for this board - anyone have that or a linnk to it?
I am on F1 and not doing well and I can't find F2d anywhere.
I've raised all the volts - a lot - no help.Quote:

Wish I knew about this thread earlier - I still have my USB3P and now I've just move into a more spacious home, I can finally have a benching table set up :D
There's an E8500 and E8400 I have kicking around which I know both do 600FSB+. Would be nice to see if this board's capable of some higher numbers.
A newer bios would be nice to see and the 1T bug was odd considering it could manage 1GHz ram speeds. I guess the board was just not quite popular enough to warrant extra the work involved.
Amazing... stumbling across this thread months later and noticing how USB3P F2D seems to have vanished from:

this board was a giant flop, very disappointing coming from Gigabyte especially since there has not been a bios update in the last year
I sold mine to my brother - He has had 0 issues forover a year now. It has Q9650 OC'd to 3.84 and G.Skill 1600 RAM (8 GB's). The board was fun to OC but I think they left us hangin on a BIOS update. Might get someone to mod the F2d bios ??? Just my 2 cents worth. wibujo
The only "mods" i've seen "out there" are cert mods for faking out Vista, etc...

I reluctantly sold my USB3P about a week ago - was desperate for the money and didn't get a lot for it either :/
It performed really well with the exception of the 1T issue which didn't really matter in real-world usage anyway (unless you're using memory intensive apps such as encoding video or benching).
Great looking board with a whole lot of nice features and potential, but I had to move on. Gigabyte still won as I got the X58a-UD3 which is lovely.
Heh. I'd buy this board again. Anyone got one for sale? =)
I just got an E8600 that I know will do 5.5Ghz+ from a forum member. I can't get my ram to run rated speeds or timing no matter what timings or voltages I run. It's really holding my OC back. Anyone have an answer to this? This is my ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231351
I have to run this ram underclocked and at CL9 to make things work.
