they should do 1020 1040 cas4
memory dividers higher than 4:5 266 strap wont boot even at 333fsb and 400fsb 4:5 266 wont boot either, 375fsb 4:5 266 is fine though. i have tried 3:4 400 and 2:3 266, no luck. so im limited to pushing the fsb in windows on 4:5 266 strap using setfsb and testing stability with orthos. i got to 415fsb ddr2-1040 5-5-5-15 before i got an error 6 minutes into orthos. i changed timings to 5-6-5-15 and upped mch volts from 1.1 to 1.2. so either the ram or the board is limiting me, most likely the board imo. it was 10 minutes orthos stable again at 8x425 1066 5-6-5-15 so i upped my card to its highest bench stable clock, 701/1511/1147 and got my best 3dmark06 score.

more to do with my cpu at 3.4, instead of 3.3 like my last run. changing to a coolermaster cosmos s has dropped cpu temps by a good 10c.
after the run i shut my rig off to feel nb temp. it was hot, not blistering but definitaly hot at just 1.2v. ram on the other hand was actually cool at 2.2v. i know the ud3l series boards have an inferior nb hs but this is ridiculous imo. its funny this board is actually rated for 1366+ memory, i somehow doubt anyone has actually reached that on any ud3l series board.
+1 for the G.Skill 9600PI's, best ddr2 kit I ever had.
Hi all, just get one EP45-UD3P and is having problem in getting my Q9650 stable @ 495 FSB (prime freezes after 1.5 hours).... settings as below, what's wrong? The ram is Gskill PC8500 PK 2GB X 2

Your drive settings are very high, raise skews to 150ps.
Thanks for the input Dan, will try later to see
just achieved this with this board :)
I'm having trouble getting past this clock though, would really like to do a 5GHz run but the board doesn't seem to want to do the FSB. I have tried up to 1.5V nb and it doesn't post at all :/ Pretty sure the CPU is capable of it but I dropped the multi anyway to see if I could get the target fsb first.

this board is weird, settings i know are orthos stable if i overclock in windows simply wont boot. regardless of other settings 400 fsb = no boot, at 333fsb 3:4 and 2:3 = no boot, and recently i tried 5:8 at 333fsb too. it booted, but couldnt get into windows every time. so being stuck with a choice of 4:5, 5:6 or 1:1 divider plus my fsb limitation its impossible to get higher than ddr2-1066 :/ . i have tried changing performance level, timings and mch voltage.is that alone a good enough excuse to get a refund or replacement for this board?
sounds iffy, what's your PSU like?
let me rephrase that, settings i know are 100% stable if i raise fsb using setfsb in windows simply wont boot if i set them in bios.
unfortunately i dont think there is a way to change memory divider in windows, or cas latency in windows for that matter so im stuck with what i got.
psu is a thermaltake toughpower 750w. so far 435 fsb works with 5:6 divider using setfsb.
max v mch for my GA-P45 UD3R is 1.62v on air, anyone ever touch 1.7v ? on air ??
good news! i tried raising fsb with setfsb further, got to 460fsb orthos stable! funny how it wont even boot if i set 400 fsb in bios. still 1.2v mch, 2.2v ddr2, all other voltages normal. 5-6-5-15 timings. this is a higher fsb than i ever achieved with 2gb same voltages, i suspect setting performance level to 9 instead of 8 had something to do with it.
know how to set the command rate to 1T? :shrug:

perfect thanks :)
i know but northbridge heatsink already gets hot as it is, how hot is too hot? im only going by feel btw as there is no temp sensor for it as far as i know.ud3lr has an inferior northbridge heatsink and no heatpipes compared to the ud3p/ud3r so im sure its going to limit me somewhat.
Anyone know how much i should tighten the screws on the mosfet water blocks. It's the mips blocks for the ep45-ud3p. The one over the cpu starts to bend the mobo almost right away.. And i'm useing the original pads that are there.

I think Jor3lBR uses the mips block's for his UD3P, try sending him a PM.
