So you have the GSkill DDR2 1200s, what are your results?Quote:

check also my 5005 with the xeon are with the PIs...
yeah the ones with the gray heatspreader? Unfortunately they arent selling the ones with the grey heatspreader...but I think the new revision should OC about the same.Quote:

Can i get some advices for qx9650 ? (see my sig)
my target is 444 x 9 = 3996 and and dram @ 1066 Mhz

To get PL8 you set all 4 TRD phase adjustments to 1 on each memory channel while changing nothing else, correct?
Any idea what the "fix VRM10 CPU problems" means?Quote:

This guy has the same issue as I do:

Also, does your guys' energy saver look like this? I don't have any voltage level adjustments.

The 6 power phase "pistons" are always on and none of them ever switch off.
Finally, I have an issue where my board stopped reducing voltage when it downclocks the CPU with C1E/EIST/Speedstep. I am sure all those options are on the bios. When I first purchased this board, it would drop my core voltage quite a bit (I can't remember exactly what it was). IE: something like 1.344v to 1.02v, etc. whenever it downclocked the core clock of my OC from 3.4GHz to 2.268GHz (9x378 vs. 6x378).
Now I find that it nolonger does this. The voltage is always @ 1.344v and never drops, consequently, even if C1E/EIST/Speedste reduces my clocks, I get no voltage reduction and hotter temps overall!
I have tried clearing the bios, all the bios versions (except the Bios FEa beta quoted), and everything I can think of. I don't know what could be causing this. The core clock definetely drops as the multiplier goes to 6x but it will not reduce voltage anymore when it used to. I monitor clocks and voltage through CPU-Z. I have also tried "Minimal Power Management" and "Portable/Laptop" in power schemes to see if they do anything but they don't.
I was hoping the energy saver would do something else on the side to drop voltage but as you can see, it's always on max as well.
I would uninstall the energy saver stuff, re-flash bios and load cmos optimised defaults. After booting my guess is it will work fine. The DES doesn't really do anything at all except save a tiny bit of energy, yet it switches the mobo's VRM lights on, and for the resources it uses it probably cancels out the energy saving features imo.:ROTF:
Not certain it'll help, but you could try ensuring quickboot is turned off in bios. Perhaps it's not properly POSTing or initialising parts of the board. I know it causes issues with the experience index. I don't actually use the LAN ports (yet) so can't really suggest anything else. Best of luck!
no you just set the Static tRead value to 8Quote:

Hmm, I've uninstalled the energy saver, reflashed the bios a few times, loaded optimized defaults, etc. and the problems still persist. I think it's a bug or faulty board as another person has the same problems I have with the lan ports. I have rev. 1.6. They will just die and Windows will tell me there was an error intializing them and installing/uninstalling them with multiple reboots will have no effect.Quote:

With the energy saver and the VRM lights, you probably don't know that if you press that green button on the bottom right, it turns off the VRM ligths on the mobo. That said, a bunch of LEDs on the mobo consumes practically no power at all. :)
The only other thing I can suggest is to try powering up without a CPU / memory in there see if that helps, it's helped me on ASUS board but probably different on these. I trust you've tried removing the battery too?
*edit - just found out that the USB3 model will not be available in Europe, and the UD5 is 'discontinued' - it had nothing to continue from did it? :)
Just installed my GA-EP45-UD3P. I get the all clear single beep. None of my keyboards delete keys work. My screen loads the Gigabyte Default screen with the Ultra Durable 3 logo and command keys to mess with the bios and Q-flash.
What's going on? Has anyone ever encountered this problem?
Hey Sergio sorry so late in the forum but nice board , man its looks so pweeety lol .... test it out soon so we can see what it does , ill get this q9650 to 4.5 one way or another lol
my logitech g15 keyboard with USB cable connection doesn't work before logging to windows so i have an extra backup one with the old rounded cable just in case.Quote:

but the fan seemed to work at full speed right from boot. here seems to have the same problem but didn't get how he solved it!
thier is no "vary fan speed based on temp" option :(Quote:
So digging around the bios and I find a setting for CPU fan control. It's set to AUTO which means BIOS controls fan speed. This is probably why it kicks in full speed at 450+FSB. Changed it to vary fan speed based on temp (other options were voltage and pwm) and now it starts off on low and ramps up during load. Sweet.
suggestions?
yea some of the bios have usb keyboard/mouse support disabled.i used a regular keyboard to enable it and the flashed to a bios that has it on by defaultQuote:

I used the weakest tightening torque on my power drill. I may manually loosen the screws. This worked for my dad's machine. He gets my P35 board.
Based on my instruction manual, one beep means all good but handing on the Gigabyte default screen is just very unusual. I've built 2 other computers (still running) with Gigabyte boards. I think Gigabyte has the most stable and best overclocking boards. I just wanted a P45 to see how far I could push my Q6600. I eventually want a 9550 if the price comes down.
Thank you for your feedback. Keep it coming and I will update on any success or failures I have...
thanks mate im still at hospital Valentino popped up 10 march at 12.56pmQuote:

Set your CPU ref to auto. And try a 50 or 100 skew on the MCH.Quote:
