Just for your info, I have lots of fans and ambient temp was ~0°C.

Please help me, this is quite frustrating.
Just wondering if you normally used 700/700/0/0 for your advanced clock control? Your CPU and MCH ref's look low, are those the settings you used with default VTT-1.20v before raising it to 1.4ov? With my e8400 if I remember correctly, the MCH ref need to be a notch or 2 lower than the CPU ref for 4500mhz stable.
Yeah, 700/700/0/0 worked fine until 460MHz, and 510MHz worked well too. I looked at some other settings posted in this thread, looks like most people use 800/800/0/50 or even higher skews plus higher refs, I will try that tomorrow.Quote:

Have you tried using PL8-240B? It worked fine with the G.Skill PI's well over 1200mhz.
whats the best divider and strap for 650mhz+ on the memory while still keeping high fsb? im thinking 3:4 400 strap as if i manage 500 fsb that would mean 666mhz on the memory. 3:4 200 strap drops my max fsb by 20-30.
is 500fsb 666mhz memory a realistic goal or should i try 2:3 266 strap to get 650mhz+ on the memory? unfortunately 266 strap is the only one that has 2:3 divider on my board, 400 strap has 3:5 instead :(
Its a OCZ Flex EX 1866 C7 3x2gb kit. :up:Quote:

all of a sudden memory can only do 933 5-5-5-15 2.2v :shakes: 100% stable at that setting but 960 instant bluescreen. used to do 1170 5-5-5-15 2.2v. i guess i can try 1 stick and i also have 2x1gb crucial ballistix which just happen to be fatbodies as backup. guess i will be needing new ram :(
edit: the better of the 2 sticks can still do 1040 4-4-4-12 2.2v error free, still dissapointing since the other stick can only do 933 5-5-5-15 2.2v.
edit2: more bad news, my old fatties wouldnt boot at its rated settings of 800 4-4-4-12 2.2v, had to use the 1:1 divider to get them to boot. plus the northbridge gets quite hot even with 1.2v. not blistering but definitaly hot, not warm like my ram at 2.2v. thats shortly after my rig was shut down btw, and it was only idling for a while before it was shut down.
Hi Guys :)
Have been reading this thread for a little while and am hoping you might be able to explain/help me out with my overclock. I have my 8400@ 4.2 but even small increase after this needs lots of vcore (+.06 for 4.3). Have a look at my voltages and any suggestions are welcome. My ram read speed seems comparitively low, what can i do to boost it? My NB feels extremely hot(can only touch for a couple of seconds) at 1.300 so i havent pushed fsb any higher yet but have 80mm fan on the way that i will direct at the NB and push for higher FSB. This thread has been lots of help in learning to OC, this being my first!!

@Hoss: Very nice 24/7 settings Hoss! :up:
Do you mind posting your everest mem scores and please post some Templates there are like 2 DDR3 board templates in the entire thread ;)
I got the board but is true they don't work at all with D9GTR's. No matter volts. skews, ref's, clt, cmd etc they don't brake the 1600Mhz barrier :down: Memtest #5 errors in 10 passes is the issue...
So far for people thinking of getting this DDR3 board get either Elpida Hyper or D9JNM IC's for ram.
@DonDan
Sorry I can't help man I never tried this board with Duo Cores.
Anyone with a GA-EP45T-UD3LR board that can plz post bios setting for anything over 4.0 on a Quad core ( Stable ) i have a Q9550 and need help getting past 4.0 stable.

What settings have you been using to try getting above 1600? I not sure if its the ddr3 or just this board but its hungry for mch voltage, well compared to my ddr2 board, especially at high clocks. So far it doesnt seem to like or need any cpu or mch skew, ive played a little with v-dimm skew but it doesnt seem to help any. It does seem to be rather picky or less forgiving with the references so make sure you get them right on.Quote:

Come on Hoss, lets see 1833 cas 6 stable :up:.
Its going to have to be done on a different strap and lower fsb but ill give it a go. I dont think this board/chip will do 32m at 573fsb or 5.15Ghz. :) I sure do wish that 3:5 divider wasnt bugged. :(
this is freaky, not only with my crucial ballistix 2x1gb(fatties) wont boot 333fsb 5:6 memtest errors out at 385fsb 333 strap 1:1 and no amount of dram or mch voltage has any effect on stability :mad: . 380 fsb 333 strap 1:1 is 100% stable.
only a few days ago i was pulling off 1248 memory speed 468 fsb at only 1.24v mch with my team xtreem 1300s. maybe this board just really doesnt like fatbodies? i guess nobody has ever tried since fatties are so old. this really defies logic, has anyone ever experienced high nb temps at only 1.2v?
edit: seems my fatbodies are limited to 380mhz on this board and no amount of ddr2 or mch voltage will change that. i tried both of my team xtreem 1300s in dual channel, did 400+fsb no problem. also it seems the nb hs gets quite hot at the default 1.1v as well under load, much hotter than d9,s at 2.2v.
edit2: this is really bizarre, with both team xtreem 1300s in dual channel they are limited to 948 memory speed. timings, ddr2 and mch voltage and various memory dividers all have no effect on stability. 960 = instant bluescreen.4-4-4-12 and 5-5-5-15 timings both max out at 948. same goes for my crucial ballistix(fatbodies) only difference they max out at 760. with just the better of the two team xtreem 1300 sticks it scaled to 1040 4-4-4-12 2.2v. anyone have idea what could cause this? knowing how hot the mch can get at stock 1.1v im not surprised how my last board(ga-p35-ds3p)rapidly degraded with only +0.2v mch.
What performance level are you running? If set too low, it can limit fsb considerably.
BTW hoss, a superb SPi time there. Just a couple of MHz more, and Jor3lbr's top place will be under threat!
I will get back to work on my attempts soon enough, but after having a little scare, I'm gonna play a lot more carefully now! It seems for 495fsbx9, 1:1 (333 strap) PL10, the NB only needs 1.24v, and so I would assume a notch or two more is all that's really needed for 500fsb, and the board probably needed a lot less all-round volts than I was giving it for benching, so I hope to have better success in the not too distant future. I think a good SPi32M runs is my next target, as I'm not happy being over 10mins on that!
Thanks for the info Hoss, yes I tried everything problem is this board DOESN'T like ram volts at all, so you have to undervolt the vdimm to get it stable and D9GTR's need voltage to run properly. So the problem lies there.Quote:

Superb superpi32m run those ddr3 at 800+ Mhz are much more faster then good old ddr2 for those runs. Thanks for the heads up on the templates :up:
Actually In-Fluence his score with DDR3 is already way further below of mine with DDR2.Quote:

So if you don't have the cooling for it just play safe.
It's always good to now the equipment before benching, that way you keep the voltages real, you chose the right path :up:
Yeh, my bad, I was getting mixed up with your 9.06 1M time :)Quote:

I will try and get the XS team a few more points, but It's really about time for me to actually use my PC and do something constructive for a change! All in the name of fun :)
So would you say the processor is degraded or not? Did you try a complete CMOS reset and letting the caps on your mobo drain by unplugging your computer? Might be worth a try to get it back to perform as it used to. Would be a pity if it actually degraded, as I'm pretty sure mine is degraded as well then, as I've used 1.6VTT and 1.55Vcore for Benching on air. I can't actually test whether it degraded as it's my mobo that's limiting me, not my CPU, as you might already know :pQuote:

Edit: Oh, lol, WOW, you managed to get 5ghz+ validated. Was that on air?! That's insane! Great job! After seeing that Vcore, I might have found out the reason why yours degraded though :p Regardless, an awesome result!
I don't have a Quad, but here's my settings for the Work PC in my Sig.Quote:

I'm glad to say that I don't think it has degraded. I had a bit of a scare, but after some more tweaking, I've actually managed to lower volts and get it all stable again. I honestly can't remember if I got the 500x9 stable with the FB or FD bios, but if it was FB, then that might explain it. Either way, I'm happy now. Once I've tuned it a little more, I'll get another 4.5GHz screenie up, but in the meantime, I'm gonna go for some fet blocks and possibly a second loop to see how much further I can get.
I've also been experiencing a bug which kept giving me BSODs about a minute after login, and during shutdown which didn't help matters :down:
Got that sorted now at last :D
There stock rating is 1.65v, I wouldnt dare put 2.0v to these. PN-OCZ3FXE1866LV6GKQuote:
