Seem to have figured out the hi temps on this thing. After reapplying thermal paste half a dozen times or so and trying different brands/types I turned the 120 facing up towards the top and temps went down considerably, also they evened back out within 1c to 2c of each other. I quess it wasnt making even contact. To test it I tried 4.5ghz at 1.45v and reached 72c max before failing Prime one core. A step in the right direction anyway.Quote:

[QUOTE=calpolyarc;3722882]Thanks mreld3r... very helpful. I entered the values you suggested... first thing, when I entered 1.34 for VTT and MCH Core the CPU and MCH References automatically changed to .848.... Is that ok or was I supposed to try and keep them at .76?
I was able to get into windows just fine up to 450x9 and run my typical software without any noticeable problems. I ran into problems though with memtest and prime blends (they failed immediately)... prime small fft's ran fine on a short 10 minute test but my temps during that were: 70/66/58/58 and the cpu read 71. This is too high correct?
Due to the memtest and prime blends errors I assume the RAM settings need to be tweaked?
you may wanna ask Jor or someone else for help getting a lotta ram stable, I only use 2 gigs here. And its not hard to get 2 gigs stable. I just wanted to help you get started. There a lotta very smart people in this thread that can help you a lot better than me. As far as the temps are concerned; Im not much help there either. I dont worry about temps. As long as it doesn't shut down on me, im happy. Especially during small fft's and IBT. I gotta old-timey cooler.
Oh yea, the refs are supposed to change with the Vtt. You may need to adjust the mch/ref to help pass prime-blend and memtest and maybe some more mch core?
So I guess there is something wrong with your OS, have you tried another installation CD?! Maybe Windows & Beta for free just to double check.Quote:

Thanks mreld3r for your help getting me started and your honesty.
would Jor or anybody else mind helping me get my 8 Gb's of RAM stable? My current settings and most recent questions/concerns are up above in post #2788.
Here are my specs:

4 x 2 Gb Gskill DDR2 800 / 5-5-5-15 / 1.8-1.9v
Quadro FX 1500 GPU
Corsair TX750W PSU
Thanks!
try changing the vdimm to 2.0V and the MCH/DRAM ref to 1.00V if more vdimm doesnt help u could try losening the timings 5-6-6-18 maybe, or try a little more MCH core and see if that helps, when i have four sticks in it takes me more vdimm and MCH coreQuote:

Do more people have problems with the latest bios F7 for the EP45 UD3R?
Cause everytime when i flash to that version and load optimized defaults and after that customize settings in bios everything is fine, but whenever i turn off my pc and turn it on again (cold boot) it goes into a reboot loop 2 or 3 times and then it says checksum error and puts the original bios back (thank g(od)igabyte for dual bios).
Any ideas?
I have UD3R with bios F7, and works well for me.Quote:

I've tried most of bios versions out there and none have caused me any big issues (but some have worked better than others of course), but F7 seems to be pretty stable for my setup.

Right now I'm at my power saving settings, default clocks + power saving bios options, and it reboots and S3's properly.
maybe that's working with 2 x 1gb sticks but not with my 2x 2gb ocz hpc reaper 1066 and e8400e0, using 445 cpu fsb and 1068 mhz on ram, my pc posts on the 333 latch 2.4b untill 1.26v mch which is not enough to be stable . When i go above 1.26v the computer just loops.Quote:

Anyone got 580FSB prime stable on the UD3P ? (not talking about pi runs or cpu-z screenies) I'm currently on F4 bios but having a hard time to stabilise it in Memtest test 7. After a few passes it starts to give some errors...
Might be the limit of this board. Maybe a newer bios warrants higher clocks...
This is my rock solid setup; primed, has encoded, and done a bunch of other stuff for about a week now almost always at 100% load. Not a single crash yet. I won't say fine tuning is done yet, as I frankly haven't found the time to adjust all settings to the lowest levels possible without compromising on stability; my obsession. :rolleyes: Maybe this helps those struggling with 8GBs, I don't think this board has a single problem handling that.
I'll do some quick synthetic benches, hopefully later today.

Can anyone confirm if ether F9a or F9b on the UD3P fixes the S3 bug?
I had to RMA my board because I couldn´t run bus 333, 400 or 450 and ram 2x1, 2x2 or 4x2 in dual channel at 1066 or 1080 no matter what, singel channel just fine or any 1:1 in dual channel.
They couldn´t fix it so I got a new board, rev 1.0.
Just about to set it up for some short test. :D
ghostleader,hope this one works perfect for you.good luck
Not sure about the S3 bug, but after loading the 9b bios (from v.8)i was able to get 1:1 with patriot pc2-6400 (4-4-4-12) ram and q6600 at 400 FSB and mostly stock voltages--something i was unable to attain before despite a lot of effort and tweaks with timings and voltages.Quote:

One side note, following the bios update windows 2003 server is now reporting 3.5 GB of ram whereas pre-update it posted the full 4 GB. I'm pretty sure i didn't make any OS reconfigurations that would have caused the drop.
hmm seeing this , i've tested my board on deafult settings, and with cpu running @ fsb 333 and memory @1066 no problems, I only hope that a new bios will solve this board problem with 2 x 2gb ram and the 333 strap, and will allow better performance level on the 400 one (ofcourse for 2 x 2gb ) .Quote:

I did run a Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro (PWM control) in that test and I most say that I was impressed by its performance, have to see if it can hold of my E8400 with 4Gb or 8Gb, I doubt it, it had 75C :eek: with 2Gb, think I have to put my watercooling back on.

Yup, on cold boot it happens to me sometimes when running at 538 x 8 on my e8400 & ud3r with F7 (and F6a). It's annoying. Only away around it is to boot at a lower FSB (500) and OC within the OS. Tried various ref voltages, cpu term, vvt, etc without any luck. Changed memory (2x2GB Mushkin Redline) as well. S3 doesn't work either since F4 (i think). Bah, it's no big deal - once I OC in windows, it's still rock stable at 4.3 GHz.Quote:

If I had to recommend one it would be the F9a. It has been the most stable and overclocks the best and the RAID BIOS boots much faster.
The weird thing in my situation is that i'm not even overclocking only thing i've changed in the bios is setting it to raid, but it only happens with the latest bios F7 (while the flashing process succeeded succesfully).Quote:

i always use LLC enabled,but thats just me
Enabled LLC and priming at 4.2ghz, seems good so far. 1.35v though, a bit high for these clocks. Don't mind pushing more into it but reaching the limits on the temps.Quote:

The strap is broken. About 5 to 10 pages back there was some discussion about this. Jor thinks that Gigabyte will never fix it because it would just cause a different strap to be broken. In the beginning I had the same issue and you do but it was 434FSB instead of 435. You can boot at 434 and then use ET6 to adjust the FSB if you wish, it works that way.Quote:

i've ran memtest overnight with these settings (471% complete or something) without errors, but im running into problems with prime small fft's. is it safe to assume that not having enough vcore would cause it to crash fairly quickly? because i started with 1.3875, ran prime small fft for two hours before a crash. bumped up to 1.4, ran again but crashed at the same spot @ two hours. bumped one more notch to 1.40625, and again, crash at two hours. since i was running small fft's it cant be the mch/ram thats failing, correct? i mean, it passed memtest overnight.Code:******Gigabyte EP45 UD3P******

what do you think? im going to bump the Vtt and cpu ref each one notch and test again.
previously, i was 10 hours prime blend stable with 480*9 w/ 1.3875vcore bios @ those same settings.
You are pushing to much MCH, your VTT might be a notch or so too high. My guess is that your failing prime because of the VCORE. Also, I have heard that the 2.0D(400mhz) latch is much better then the 2.0B(333). I am running the 476FSB at 1.30VTT/1.30MCH, Hoss runs 482 with 1.28VTT/1.30MCH. Try getting rid of those auto voltages too, I put what I think you should try in bold.Quote:

I reluctantly had to raise my vcore. I can actually run 9x473FSB at 3 notches lower vcore then I am at right now, with my chip going over 9x473FSB starts the vcore on a huge upwards tumble. 9x480-485FSB might be your sweetspot.
What are the biggest differences between rev1.0 and rev1.1 on EP45-UD3P? How about OC potential?
wich is the best (stable) strap for 500 over fsb?
I'd say 333 strap. On an unrelated note, it seems the UD3P by default uses very loose subtimings on the RAM to achieve the high clocks...Quote:

The NB on the 1.1 hardly gets warm to the touch which makes me wonder if it is making good contact. This 1.0 NB gets very warm without a fan on it. The 1.1 NB HS is turned upside down.Quote:

Hey, this doesn't have to do with overclocking:

Does anybody know the difference between these two types of sata ports?

hi
yes all of these are disabled,apart from no-execute memory protect,quite strange as i have lowered he multiplier to 8x and tried 500fsb and it will not boot,even relaxed the ram timings abd run that slower to see if it make a difference,hots a wall literally,must be something silly
dont quite follow what that guy above recommended - 200fsb and volt 3,0 makes no sense to me.

I need to give more than 0.08 over the required voltage, my board's DDR3 Vdimm fluctates like hell... strange while the DR2 version is rock stable...Quote:

For 4gb I need 1.32-1.34Mch NB voltage at 500FSB-1600Mhz...I'm totally blocked at 580FSB Hyperpi Stable, I can boot higher (600FSB) but the rig is far from stable... same counts for my DDR2 board...
I keep MCH reference just a tad below 0.75, 0.7 is too low here
Static tRead Value [10] do you set that setting manually or is it still on AUTO ?Quote:

I gave up with my P5Q-e and jumped onboard with a UD3P. Now I'm once again lost in the world of a new bios. I've never had a gigabyte before so this is a double whammy. Basically, I was prime stable on my P5Q-e at 470*9. I'm aiming higher than that now with my Q9650.
I've got Bios F7. Good choice or bad?
I've installed easytune but I'm not exactly sure how it works. When I load it up it shoes different values than those I've set in the BIOS. Why is that? Should it do that? EDIT- I've found a link explaining why easytune shows different values than the bios! Very helpful!
Now, what value(s) does one adjust when a particular core fails. On my P5Q-e I could adjust the reference for core 0/2 and for 1/3 seperately. What's the equivalent settings on the UD3P? My starting point has been Jor3Bler's template for 489*9. I am only running 2gb though, so perhaps I could reduce some of the MCH values?
Sorry for being such a noob but I really feel like one right now!
How about the MCH/DDR ref? u keep it on auto or set it manually like 50% ofQuote:

I think that most of my instability problems are caused by the fact that the NB is overheating. I can't keep my finger on it more than 2 sec even at 1.32v. I changed thermal paste but i think without active cooling it won't get anymore stable than this. Next week ill try to a vent aroudn there to see if it changes something.
Im on the new f8 and to be honest; I cant really tell a whole lotta difference.Quote:

Only problem is that you have to re-do all your settings. Which I can now do with my eyes closed after trying many new bioses. There is no change log with a new bios so why it is "new" is a mystery. I really haven't found a bad one yet, except the f7 ( i think it was) that gave error messages with ET6. Other than that "I" really haven't noticed much difference since f4.
^thanks for the input +1
Now onto another question. Are you guys able to run your memory at 1T command rate?
I have mushkin redlines 2*2gb pc8000 and I've changed the command rate to 1T in bios but cpuz still shows as 2T.
No matter if it works or not in the BIOS - you never would be able to boot at 1T with 2x2GB DDR2 memory at this speed.
I'm currently trying for P95 Blend stable. I'm on BIOS F4 with a 1.0 revision board. I can get it stable for about 50 mins before 1 core will fail in the large FTT test. I can pass Small FTT though :confused: I'm pretty sure I just need to tweak the NB somehow. Here are my current settings, any idea on what I need to tweak? I can run 4GHz totally stable with 1.2500v vcore set in the BIOS (CPU-Z 1.248v under load).

I have the Mushkin Redline pc2 8000's also, had a hard time getting things stable with them so switched it out for gskills and went with the 5:6 devider. Haven't seen a clock skew in other guys templates set like yours. Your vcore looks great. I was able to do 4.0ghz on my 9550 at 700/700/0/0, any higher and needed 800/900/0/0. Never messed with the DRAM a/b reference or DRAM termination so not sure about those.Quote:

You can check out my post 2120, it was the MCH ref who was the make or break.
this weekend i try to improve my max fsb...and thanks to my new crucial ballistix tracer i've managed to do this:

with setfsb i've also seen 660, but not validated yet. maybe a little adjustment at vtt or gtl ;)

Nice Mysterfix!! Looks like you were able to keep your temps down also.
That was with BIOS F9b?Quote:

Edit: Yes I'm using bios F9b
A little hint: In order to test the stability of your system you will need to run the FULL MEM or MAX STRESS options, as you can see you are only using half of your ram for testing so that isn't a real test.Quote:

Another note is to hit print screen before the test ends to take full loaded for real volts and temps (example: Linx 25 passes take SS on the 24th pass).
Hope that helps :up:
..
Thanks for thre the tip but I used what was available. I'm not a vista expert so if you can tell me what to do to get more available ram I would greatly appreciate it. BTW I measure voltage under load using a digital multimeter to get a more accurate reading, software rarely gives correct readings.
Ahh, was looking at your real temp in the picture, read 67 max, for these 1.21 vid chips that seems to be the norm. Mid 50's in prime is good.Quote:

@Ghostleader - Do you use any active cooling on your NB?
LOL, yeah kinda scary at first but I don't run LinX all the time so it should be alright.:D Besides, normal use won't get you anywhere near what you see during stress testing.:)Quote:

OC Nub: With 2GB and Vista that's about the maximum you're going to be able to test with LinX. Vista needs a few hundred MBs for itself to run.
Thanks, wasn't sure if there way to manually set it. Didn't see an option for it.Quote:

Looks better Myster as people won't get different volts after the test.Quote:

I thought your in W7.:up:
My voltage drops a bit under load and it fluctuates when I'm doing things. Idle voltage is 1.345v, + or - .005v but under load is constant 1.338v. CPU-z and other software will only report what it gets from the board, problem is there's no way to calibrate the boards sensors to report proper readings. I trust my multimeter much more and yes, I have fresh batteries in it.:D
Is W7 better for ram? Maybe I'll try testing with that instead of Vista.
Is it just me or do the Q9650's run a little warmer than say a Q6600?

If you want to use all memory you should push the "ALL" button next to "Memory to use" and LinX gonna use all available free memory except 5Mb.Quote:

If you´re in the mood you can disable and stop "Superprefetch" and/or go to diagnostic mode and see if you get some more memory free, if not, don´t bother, it´s stable enough.
Btw, any improvement with F9b compare to the others.
Nice overall OC. :up:,
I'm thinking of getting one (an upgrade from my current Foxconn MARS). What are the common issues of this board or things which I need to worry about? I have watercooling running so heat shouldn't be a problem :)
Ghostleader, I did use the all option and F9b seems to be the most stable for me but I've only tried one other bios which is F6 because it was on the board when I bought it.:rolleyes:
I may give your other suggestions a try later when I get home from work, thanks.:up:
My new board (RMA my old, they couldn´t fix it, got a new) came with F4 and I running some test with my Q6600 and ram config 4x1 (PC9600) and 4x2 (PC8500) just to see how much stress the board can take.Quote:

After that I probably flash it to F8, F9b or a official F9 (which maybe have arrived then) to see if I can squeeze out some more.
Ghostleader, F8 was the worst bios of all that I tried. Would try the F7 or F9b.
Okey, thanks. :up:Quote:
