sorry for this belated reply T,.. i was so damn desperate to make my system stable above 450fsb, it wont boot, try up to 1.46nb and 1.3vtt for 4.050 9x450.. then i read some post here that u have to adjust mchref and clockskew to get higher fsb.. set mchref from 0.65, 0.68, 0.70, 0.72, found that 0.72 is the best spot above 500fsb, tried also from 1000mv to 700mv for clockdrive i found 700mv also the best setting, don't have any idea why.. just trial and error, i've been tweaking since december 08, stressing everyday to find stability, and finally, system now able to run stable at 550fsb, but i had to take out 2 of my ram stick :up:

thx

Hi, I’m having real problems with this motherboard (purchased yesterday) but I’m unsure that it is the motherboard and need advice.

Some background:

My original system
Asus P5nt-deluxe 780 chipset with Q6600 Kingston 1066

After getting two dead boards this setup would OC but would have problems, thought it was the ram so I purchased a set of OCZ Flex XLC 9600 still had the same problems and in the end killed the board trying to volt mod it.

Second
GA-X48-DQ6 with the same Q6600 and OCZ Flex XLC 9600

Would OC and pass 12hrs of prime but after a few start ups and shut downs I would get the constant reboot at post and the system would revert to its optimised settings. This would even happen with a 200 MHz OC and about 1.35v (1.28v standard).

Third
GA-EP45-UD3P again with the same Q6600 and OCZ Flex XLC 9600, Purchased yesterday.

Wont OC at all even had the constant reboot when I changed the power saving features from standard. I purchased this board for its overclocking. I had read heaps of reviews with Q6600 needing less voltage and clocking higher. To make it worse when changing the mobos over I forgot to change my Riva tuner profiles and cooked my video card, lesson learned X48 clock video cards higher than P45, and it was water cooled.

In all of the above the ram was always under clocked far from its specs. I purchased a set of 1066 dominators which will arrive Monday but it’s looking like that isn’t the problem.

I NEED ADVISE PLEASE!!!!! To me it looks like the Cpu is the problem in all this but I’m just not sure has anyone had these problems or could I just have bad luck with mobos. At stock everything runs fine 24/7 gaming, benching, everything.

I’ve used OC profiles off forums for the same boards but could not get what they were getting.

The only two parts that are the same in all this are the power supply and the Cpu I don’t think it’s the power supply because no matter how many HDD or fans I plug in when the system is standard it runs fine its only when I OC.

Any help would be really appreciated.

This post is over at EO as well.

If your talking about the "motherboard" temp sensor in everest and the "system" in et6 i do not believe thats is NB. On voltage screen ET6 says MCH, why would they change that to system under temps? Also Everest does show MCH temps on boards that have sensors. I believe it shows MCH or Northbridge under the sensor page, not motherboard. I have aftermarket NB cooling and temps do not change from 33c(everest motherboard sensor). Idle, Full load, different MCH voltages, and even disconnecting NB Fan shows no temp change. Same thing with ET6, i dont remember what the temp was, i think it was 45, but it never changed either. always same no matter what i did to the MCH. :shrug::confused:too.

Got my UD3P today. Absolutely love it and havent even overclocked yet, booted right out of box, and with loadline calibration enabled theres 0 vdroop. Little vdrop though (1.250 in bios, 1.216 idle and load in windows)

Gonna get crackin with it here in a while, so far its a amazing board. Compared to my 750I anyway that i rmaed twice in a month and the first was DOA.

babalou, can you post your template up please.

Arapab79: if you are trying to overclock this mb, you have to change many of the bios settings from Auto, or your system will not boot...or it goes into an endless reboot cycle...or reboots with default settings and you have to start over with the bios settings. Don't use Crucial ram, and be aware of bootstrap bug as described in this thread which renders some bootstrap settings useless. I understand this can be a tremendous m/b, but unless you are willing to study up and learn about the skews, sub-voltages, driving strengths, ect, for this board, I would recommend taking it back for a refund. I sold mine and got an Asus P5K Premium Black Pearl, which is so superior and user-friendly for o/c it is amazing! I've had my P5K to 585 FSB x 8.5 and it is very stable and easy to o/c. For 24/7 use I'm at 1.36v @ 4320 Mhz. Good luck!!

what PL should i use at 400fsb with 4gb of ddr2 1066???? so far im at PL8

Post your BIOS profile. And HDDs and fans don't draw a lot of power, so it still could be the PSU.

Thx for the answer. So it's FSB related. I was hoping it was something that could get my e7300 8x500 stable without requiring too much vcore. It's 7.5x500 stable now.

Absolutely no problems with Crucial RAM here. Don't rely on auto settings.

:up:, i'm still stressing right this moment, similar setting like your 7.5 multi, just wanted to know how low can i go with vNB and vDimm with 8GB without going less than 500fsb, VTT at stock, MCHref still 0.72

http://www.prototype.web.id/forum_images/3800.png

thx
asap

EDIT:
i just RMAed these set http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231184, i bought 2 sets hoping will perform better than my team dark, i was wrong, couldnt get stable at 1066 CL5 2.1v, even at 1000 i need 2.2v to pass blend :(,... do i need more MCHcore or vDimm to get PL9? my team dark currently at PL10, when i set to PL9 it wont boot...

@Touche
Will give your recommendations a go in a min. Thanks for your help and patience with this :up:

Tried 460fsb settings as post #1906 but failed prime immediately!

@ Touche
Will try ths now!
Disable LLC, set vcore 1.41250, leave ICH core 1.100v. Set memory PL 11 or higher.

Next to try 470fsb

@arapab

This board is in mine opinion picky with MCH core volt and MCH ref but once you have learn how it works it´s okey, sometimes a lot of trail and error is required.


Use this templet for your bios setup, that way it´s easier for people to help you.

Thank you all for your help.

Right, I think thats it for today.
May try and squeeze it up to 4.1Ghz tomorrow :)

I have saved this as a profile and then enabled CPU EIST & CPU (C1E) for everyday use.

That ok you think?

gar,i think at 400 fsb you might be able to run pl7,just give it a shot.who knows maybe even pl6?these A3 revisions can run one notch lower than A2's.

so here's 100 passes of linx with 3.6 @ 1.4v and memory 400 x 9 4:5 2.1 turbo setting in bios

linx makes cpu much hotter than prime but i leave my room windows always open so its nice and cool in my room :)

This is my first Gigabyte board. The bios was intimidating. Had to have someone to explain the different names for voltages then what i was use to seeing on the Asus boards. Thanks Rattle!
Was able to get over the 460 FSB wall with little effort. Did a short prime run this morning, will test longer tonight.
Very good board so far.

Just manage to the first Hitz on Crucial Kit 2.40B strap.... 550x8 PL 10- 11I'm give up right now:shrug: Just see the same score on memory benchmark compare with 533x8 PL 9 it's the same. and can manage to get stable easier

P.s.Notice that Mch core over 1.22 can't boot up with 2.40B strap

Lower your vcore man. I can run 471x8.5 stable at 1.300bios

So through all my heart-ache with this damn board...actually two of these boards. Well I get the idea to try slots 1 and 2( single channel I know) and it freaking booted. I am thinking sweeeeeeeeeeeet. So I restart with the sticks in slot 1 and 3 for dual channel. no freaking boot!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice OC, :up: time to go for FSB 450 with that Q6600.

LinX is a real CPU killer, you should try to use max problem size and max memory use, that way you put much more stress on your memory and MCH (NB) together with your CPU.

With the setup in the screenie below my CPU has a temp at ~65C and the MCH at ~42C (with a temp probe stuck inside MCH heatsink)


Here´s a screenie with Q9650 / 500 / 4,0 / 2x1 HyperX PC9600@1000 / 555 15 / tRD10.

Stable with 50 loop LinX (max problem size and max memory use), Prime95 blend 2hrs and 30 loop (~2hrs) Crysis Assault Harbor@high.

If I go one step up or down with MCH ref LinX error with in 3min, kind of sensitive or what.

Now it´s time to leave XP (32bit) and go to Windows 7 (64bit) for some 2x2 and 4x2 ram test.

mm i just noticed the memory was only 772 grr im going to run it again now with is using as much ram as it can and see if it passes and then next step is
450 x 9 :D

yeah, going to run linx tonight since i just ran it for an 1 hour and 15 minutes and only 12 test completed so, to long for me to wait (have to play L4D :P) so i will let it run overnight, im just worried 450 x 9 is going to take at least 1.55v or more =/ i really need a Q9650 or Q9550 =[

New bios for the EP45T UD3P : F5 and boy is this finally a good step in the right direction !! most divider issues are gone and I can run the same specs at lower volts than before ( FSB term and Nb voltage)

Running at the moment 500FSB with 1600mhz rams 8-8-8-24 PL 9 with just 1.32NB voltage hyperpi 32mb stable

Grab here : EP45T UD3P F5 bios

E7400 is a nice CPU too

I have saved this as a profile and then enabled CPU EIST & CPU (C1E) for everyday use.

That ok you think?

Nice, glad you got there :up:
If it's stable, leave EIST and Cx enabled. And thermal monitor.

The lowest you can get stable :)

I'm just curious if anybody hates the UD3P as much as I do.:mad:

Here are some of the problems. I start in windows, set my EasyTune 6 settings and run my Q6600 at 3.8ghz on prime for 4 hours no issues. I then re-start my pc, set those exact same settings in the bios and the pc does not start at all. It just cycles on and off for a few minutes (nothing i can do about that) until finally it works and takes me to the bios. In the bios, my voltages are COMPLETELY off.

example: my MCH Refference should be 0.76V and sometimes in the bios it is .86, sometimes it is .6V - and this is completely random. this is not the only setting this happens to. My MCH/Dram reference voltage is sometimes WAY below stock which is why sometime my pc doesn't boot at all.:down:

After struggling for half an hour at a time to start my pc, I decide to set everything on auto. Upon entering windows ET6 reads my CPU PLL at 1.85V :shocked:....

I have to say I am very mad because of this. Sorry for this highly negative post, but I do not understand why my settings do not stay put in the bios, and sometimes the voltages that go through my pc are quite dangerous..... I'm using the latest bios, F7 I beleive. Does anybody have any idea what may be going on here? I have never had this much trouble with any motherboard before.....

edit. Another example. My cpu termination should be 1.38 volts. My pc started with it at 1.5volts....
my final problem is that no matter what, I cannot run my ram at stock speeds. I should be able to do 1066 at 5-5-5-15 timings. I cannot go over 844 at 5-7-7-20....

That said, when I DO get it running properly, it runs stable as can be.

I wanted to run @ 4.4Ghz. but Prime kept failing a couple min. into the 800000 with FFT length of 8k. So running small FFT's I tried about everything without raising Vcore. Everything failed just after 3min. It would run 13min though after changing the Vref to .800v from .760v. A huge improvement actually. There is a relationship between Vtt and Vref so you can go too high on Vref if changed alone. In the end I needed to raise Vcore after all. All else is the same since last post but:
Vcore........................1.3375v ****************** MCH...............1.20v
CPU Term..................1.20v ****************** MCH ref.......... .720v
CPU PLL...................1.5v ****************** MCH/Dram ref. .820v
Vref......................... .800v ****************** VDimm.......... 2.18v

Used Crucial 8500"s. 4 hrs of small FFT's.

We'd love to help you... but we need a lot more info. Pleas post a bios template.

How do I do that?

adpr 02,heres a post that might help you understand what ET6 shows and what to set in bios.http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=1157

daaaaaaaaamn, hopefully this link sheds some light on the issue. From skimming over it, I don't see any explanation of why my cpu PLL voltage would jump to 1.85 in ET6 though, as it is not a reference voltage (is that right?). And there is still the problem of not being able to run my ram at stock speeds.

Either way, I'll go give it a good read and see if I can determine the proper voltages.

Alright, I don't know if I'm just being an idiot, or if I fried my brains doing physics today, but I don't get how that works. Here are the settings that I was completely stable with... although the VTT was different in the bios. I Beleive it was 1.24 or something like that. I don't know if the VTT that I set on ET6 counts.

Is this enough info to be able to tell what voltages I should put in the bios? And yeah, my pc is not stable anymore with these exact settings put in ET6. Just BSOD'd 5 times.

Here's the link:

adpr 02,have been setting things in ET6 (voltages)? if so make sure it is not set to load values upon reboot.

Yeah, I have. That is how I overclocked this processor to begin with. It is not set to load on boot. The program isn't set to start-up upon re-start.

I'm just wondering how those ET6 settings would look like in the bios, since with those setting I was completely stable. I don't feel like starting from scratch again... Btw, what are the max voltages you'd put for the various options?

one thing you have to remember is that ET6 just show % values for ref volt so you cant go into the bios and put 0.76 and expect it to work.have you tried fatguy1992's template?

read this too.http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=983

Well, Fatman's settings did not work for me at all. I then got pissed off and just put random (liberal) voltages through everything but the Reference voltages which I set to auto, and for some reason I managed to boot in windows, and have been priming for 10 minutes.....

I would still like someone to explain what's going on here, because I want to actually understand what I am doing.

Anybody know what the max safe voltages are for the motherboard and the quad? I still have that image of the VPLL at 1.85 V in my mind.

i'm guessing ur using ET6 to overclock??? dont, just go into the bio, and change setting, and dont use ET6 and see if u still have troubles. btw: pll 1.85v is high, 1.65v pll should be more than enough for the clock u r trying to run
edit: i never used ET6, maybe try uninstalling it than using the bios to oc, also when it is turning on and off it means failed to boot, failed oc and it trys to recover with stock bios settings, did u mean your mobo boots after this with different voltage everything and way off stock???

I'v only used ET6 to tweak some settings a few times. But yeah ET6 isn't good for setting up a 24/7 overclock etc.

Yeah, bro. I'd never go above 1.57v myself. I didn't select that 1.85V setting, ET6 did. Seriously, there's nothing "easy" about that program.

Well, now that I learnt to stay away from the reference voltages, I got my processor stable at 3.8ghz, primed for 2 hours. It's also stable at 3.9Ghz (primed for 15 minutes) but needs a voltage of 1.53v which is a bit high for my tastes. I'm now reading the GTL Reference voltage thread to see if I can reach any higher, with about 1.5v.

I'll think about it. 3.9 seems so tempting especially since my temperatures don't exceed 60C...

Still. What do you guys think should be the max VTT and MCH core voltage I should put through my setup? I'd rather increase those 2 from now on and leave my Vcore alone.

P.s.Notice that Mch core over 1.22 can't boot up with 2.40B strap

That explains it why I can´t run 1200MHz with my Q9650@500, it craves 1,28v with 500 and 1000 555 15.

Does anyone here think I could get to 533fsb?
What settings should I be looking at to move the fsb up further?

I suggest you read this entire thread. It should answer ALL of your questions.

I`m really don`t know what i can do to get stable over 500 FSB... Now i`m playing with 520 but my goal is 530, But i tried every possible combination in BIOS and in ET6 but doesn`t work very well, With settings below i can run ORTHOS small FTT for 20 min then program crash. Blend test fails immediately. I saw many people getting stable at 550, 540... etc, i believe i can do that as well just need figure out how.

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...o_stable-1.jpg

Lower NB voltage to 1.36, set PL 11 and set more Ram voltage try eg 2.12, ram timings at 5-5-5-18 ( my board undervolts 0.07 )

Trying to get max oc on stock volts. Ran LinX and passed at 3.7ghz. Tried 3.8 but screen locked up.
Having a lot of fun with this motherboard.

hey guys finally pick the ram am getting (http://1582.tchosts3.net/TEMPLATES/T...2DOC%2D4GK1066) but forgot to ask will the ud3p run this ram as its not in the compatiable list but niether is the ram i run now?

yeah i think u could do it easy:yepp: with good enough cooling, take a look at my template in this thread it for 4.6 and 4.7ghz but with a little lower vcore and term. and lower mch core it should work great (also in it i didnt use LLC but u will want to is easyer to get stable:D) is in page 30s or so , im going to update a few template for q9550 and ud3p in a day or so for: 4.0ghz, 4.4ghz, 4.5ghz, 4.6ghz, 4.7ghz, so that should help:D

I've been running on the old 975X chipset for the past 2 years (XBX2). With the low price and performance of the UD3P I decided to make the jump to the p45 platform.

Not a max OC or benchmark kind of a guy, just trying to get the most out of my old stuff. And have some fun doing it.

I have my UD3P paired up with 4x1gb Ballistix 8500's (2 tracers & 2 non tracers) almost 2 years old (double sidded 16fd3)
And a Q6700 on a TRUE purchased back in May, L803B batch, 1.275 vid

I did play around with the 10x multiplier a bit to see how high I could clock the Q6700 and max out memory speed.
I have more work to do here as settings below are not completely stable. (LLCalibration enabled on this 65nm chip)

377X10

MCH Frequency latch: 333
System Memory Multiplier: 320B
Memory Frequency: 1066 1206
5-5-5-15
tRRD: 4
tWTR: 4
tWR: 8
tRFC: 56
tRTP:4
CR: 2
Performance level 6, rest of ram stuff on auto

Vcore: 1.51875 (1.488 actual no vdroop)
CPU Term: 1.300
CPU PLL: 1.590
CPU Ref: 0.863
MCH Core: 1.280
MCH Ref: 0.863
ICH IO: 1500
ICH Core: 1.100
Dram voltage: 2.24 (2.22 actual)

Settings above passed 15x IntelBurnTest, 22 hours of memtest 2.11, and 10 hours small FFT Prime95. But fails under Prime95 large FFT pretty quick. Proc not stable, probably need to tweak Reference stuff.
But I do believe my 4x1gb ballistix are stable with the settings above @1206, Performance level 6, with 2.22 volts actual to sticks. Not to bad.

1.51875 Vcore is a bit to hot for a 24/7 setup for me. Core temps up to 83c under IntelBurnTest scares me a bit. Might try like 373x10 later


I've been running 463x8 (3.70) on the 333 latch, 240B Multiplier for the last 2 weeks. Puts memory @ DDR-2 1111. Best performance level achieved is 8. Vcore 1.4875 (1.456 actual) 2.08 volts to ram.
Temps are fine. 77C under load IntelBurnTest, 62C Prime95 large fft.

Passed everything I've thrown at it:
21 hours Prime95 Blend
20 hours Prime95 Large FFT
Total of 30x IntelBurnTest

Templates and pics of 463x8 Incuded (just hope this newbie can add attachments ok)

Using bios 7 final

All the info posted here made this OC a breeze.

Didn`t work out, nbvoltage 1.36~1.42 pl 9~12 and the crazy thing when i rise my RAM voltage i can`t boot so i figure out that i have problem with DRAM Vtt, even leaving on NORMAL, (that suppose to leave on stock voltage) doesn`t work, that is very annoying cause i have to set manually the DRAM vtt...

So any suggestion or i have to give up and stop on 500 fsb lol

Thing is I first put all the stock values myself ( for the reference volts as this mobo's bios have very good algorythms ) Then I start to adjust Vdimm, FSB term and co and you will see that the values change by themselves... and they should work or allow you to post... then later on you can adjust

500FSB should be a breeze on this mobo... I woudl try with only two dimms and if it works swap them rams with the other pair

Your a star EliTE!!

Will be keeping my eyes open for your post and looking through the 30's!

If I could get 533x8.5 or even 533x8 would be awsome :D

Though I might need to speed my fans up I think as its hitting about 65c when loaded. The PA120.2 will handle it, just not with these Sharkoons 1000s running at 5v!

Hi, let us know when you have updated those templates, that is some great work! :up:

Yeas stable 533 for a quad is gonna be hard to do. Dont get me wrong, it can be done if you have the right hardware....and knowledge. I cant wait to give sombody elses template a try, as mine personal attempts were unsuccesful. 8gb of ram doesnt make it any easier. I'd love to have my 8gb runnin at 1066 1:1. That oughta make for some good bandwidth. While i wait for a template i'll try my luck again. Good luck!

i'm using it :), run flawlessly with my UD3R, 507sb 1:1 1014 5-5-5-15 1.8v

EDIT: with 2 sets of those :)

http://www.prototype.web.id/forum_images/38xs.jpg

asap

My Phase Unit just arrived :D along with it a E8500 :D

Heres my first quick test.

http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/m...0FirstTest.jpg

I'v never used a dual or 45nm before so i'm still learning a bit. I know the E8500 is a C0, but i got it really cheap off the builder.

fatguy1992,awesome! now you can get some great memory OC's

Yeah I might have a go tonight, depends how tired I am (the tireder I am the better I overclock :confused:)

i found elite's template:

OMG Amazing !!!

I've heard that the UD3P only had 4 Fan Connectors, I was thinking about getting the Antec 900-2 and utilising all available fans, obviously there's more than four, so what can be done to connect them all?

connect the extras directly to the psu.because one of the fan headers is the cpu,so you only have three left.

Will I not be able to control those fan's speed if I connect it to the PSU?

Coming to think of it, what's the maximum number of Fan Connectors you'll find on a P45 Board?

I don't think this is correct. Based on what I saw in screenshots here, it would actually be:

1.3Vtt + 0.884 MCHref in BIOS = 0.816 in ET
1.3Vtt + 0.91 MCHref in BIOS = 0.84 in ET
1.3Vtt + 0.936 MCHref in BIOS = 0.864 in ET

1.2 - stock Vtt
x - current Vtt
y - MCH ref shown in ET
z - MCH ref real (the one in BIOS)

z=x*y/1.2

I could be wrong, but that's consistent with the screenshots.

could be,i didnt check for errors i simply tried to find some post that might help.good job on double checking these values.

i'm looking into getting this mobo paired with a q9400 and gskill 2x2gb pi black. i skimmed most of the pages for answers but couldn't fine it, so here's my questions:

1) from purely an OC'ing perspective, is there advantages in picking the UD3P over the UD3R? i don't need the extra features of xfire, dual LAN port, or dolby sound included with the UD3P.
2) is the 1:1 memory divider unstable compared to the 5:6?
3) what memory are you guys using to get 1200mhz 24/7 stability?
4) i'm assuming the gskill F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B 2x2gb black pi series will be compatible?
5) no major fsb wall in the q9400 compared to q9550 or q9650 right? only difference is multiplier and cache right? i should be able to hit at least 480fsb with this q9400 right?

thanks!

1) I have both boards and I've found no difference in overclocking.
2) 1:1 has been stable for me, but the G.Skill Pi Black aren't phenomenal overclockers, though I do have 4 x 2GB running happily at 900 4-4-4-12
3) Can't help ya there.
4) Yes....see answer two :)
5) Can't help ya there either, I've only run dual cores, but 533 was no problem with them.

well i did some fan rearranging and after i got done i noticed my motherboard temp sensor was 10c higher than before.so i set out to find out where it was located and im pretty sure it is somewhere near the southbridge heatsink.when i sprayed some condensed air on the heatsink it self it rapidly dropped about 3c-4c.when i aimed a 4000rpm fan directly at it temps just kept dropping.

I didn't/don't have the time till Thursday night :(

Tried running 8x500 at my vCPU that I normally run at 4GHz and it passed. So I thought, "Maybe I should go lower?"

What'd you know, I was able to go a smidgen lower. :)

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/7883/8x500bnk2.png

i installed my new power supply and it seems i was able to lower some volts and still be stable.http://i44.tinypic.com/2hf048x.jpghttp://i39.tinypic.com/20ru5fs.jpg

Very nice radaja :clap:

Hi guys, im thinking of getting a GA-EP45T-UD3R pretty soon. I have some questions :)

1. Are there any problems with the DDR3 version of the board?
2. What are the differences between revision 1.0 and 1.1?

If i have any more questions i will ask :yepp:

Cheers,
Oz

1.

From what i'v heard the DDR3 version suck.

2.

Sorry I don't know.

I'v done more tests and my E8500 likes 67% GTL references better then 63% (stock) :D

This was the difference between BSOD on 4.2GHz and it working :D

http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/m...2/E8500/42.jpg

Any input would be liked?

Edit: I know I only should only use 1.2v mch or less, but I forgot to change it :(

With Bios F5 things seem to be more stable mate, previous biosses were not that good. There are still some strap issues ( but most P45 DDR3 boards have those ) Sadly my Corsairs don't clock that good 1720mhz is the max...so I couldn't check the 1800mhz speeds...

http://users.telenet.be/OAP2/EP45T/UP45T%20Straps.JPG

I compared it with some results of the Asus P5Q3 and the GB surpasses it easily now on setup and ram bandwith

Take note that this is a poor E7400 and it already bests some peeps scores with highly tweaked DDR2 (and better cpu's)

http://users.telenet.be/OAP2/EP45T/E74006.JPG

I too saw the 1.1 version posted on the GB webbie, but have no clue what they have changed...

More tests and results here :

Gigabyte EP45T-UD3P REVIEW

More testing will be done once my PC16000 rams and E8600 ship...

Whats the best BIOS version for overclocking a E8500?

Also, my mobo is a rev A3, but i looked on the Gigabyte website and there was only 1.0 and 1.1. So which one is mine :confused:

Thanks

fatguy1992,thanks.A3 is the chipset revision number. 1.0 and 1.1 are board revision numbers.your board revision number should be located on the board itself.

I'm guessing you're getting the "A3" bit from looking at the "Mainboard" tab in CPUz. Look in the field above it next to the model name, it might have it there. If it doesn't then you'll have to look at the motherboard itself. It's located just above the second PCI-Ex slot right on the edge in the corner, before where it says "Made in China" :)

Ok, thanks guys :)

Only thing is, i'm getting the UD3R version of the board, which is only the on the F4 BIOS. But looking at the description (which isn't alot) It's the same as the F5 for the UD3P... Hmmm, either way i'll get the UD3R, hoping they'll come out with better BIOS'es in the near future.

My only guess to why they're bringing out BIOS'es faster for the UD3P, is 'cos they know it's more popular?

Cheers,
Oz

EDIT: oh, and i'm gona have a PC3-12800 CAS7 OCZ kit, hopefully i'll be able to run 1800 with CAS8 :S

I agree with this. Having just finished tweaking an overclock by changing the CPU and MCH ref values in ET6, I then went back into the BIOS and tried the nearest values as I set in ET6. Result was I ended getting boot loop and had to jumper CLR_CMOS to get out of it.

Using the formula shown by Touche above I was able to determine what I actually should be setting in the BIOS to achieve the same shown setting in ET6.



Example, tweaking in ET6 I find that I need 0.80 MCH reference in ET6 to remain stable with a CPU Termination (Gigabyte's term for VTT) of 1.4v. Put those numbers into the formula...

MCH ref value to set in BIOS = 1.4 x 0.80 / 1.2 = 0.933 to 3 decimal places.

I go into the BIOS and select the nearest value for the MCH ref and use the setting 0.926 (next setting up was 0.966 so that would be too high).

I then boot back into Windows, load up ET6 and MCH ref shows 0.80 as expected :up:

Thanks for bringing the formula up Touche, it's saved me a lot of headache now that I can set ref values for both the CPU and MCH without getting infinite boot loop. It also means I don't need to load up ET6 and manually set the values each time either so have some :toast2::toast2::toast2: on me :)

Great, glad to see it was correct and helpful :up:

This is my 1st OC with my new chips.,still with C1 stepping.,just want to make sure is this setting suitable for 24/7 use.,but not very stable setting sometimes random BSOD..do i need to change anything guys..?

ezaleina,very nice w/low volts.damn i got to try and lower these volts of mine.i am so jealous.keep up the great work

It's not if you get BSODs :) Try changing some volts and see if you can get it stable. Use IBT for quick testing.

yeah b4 this i got BSOD.,but after i pump to 1.35vcore.,its ok.,its only happen when i try to load Windows 7.,but its ok with windows XP..

Aha...those volts are more than fine for 24/7.

Here´s my Q9650@500 4,0GHz and 2x2 OCZ Reaper PC8500@1000 555 15 tRD10.

It´s stable with 50 loop LinX (~2hrs, max problem size and max memory use), 2hrs dual P95 blend and ~2hrs Crysis game play. All test done with Windows 7 beta 64bit DX10.

Voltage setup is good for 24/7.

If you run 2Gb ram try to set CPU PLL 1,50, CPU Term 1,20-1,26, CPU ref 0,760 (when CPU Term are 1,20) MCH core 1,20-1,24, MCH ref 0,700-0,720 (when CPU Term are 1,20). You should be able to reach FSB 500+ and ram 1:1 with that.

Can also try MCH Clock Skew 50ps.
