Thanks. I upped TRFC to 58 and left everything else same at 4.356 and so far 10 linx passed @ 6.6Gb no problem. :)Quote:

I have tons of fans in my case ( 6 intake, 4 exhaust, 3 on cpu heatsink ), you think I can get by with just removing the Gigabyte cover?Quote:

Hi Everyone,
Is it okay to post in this thread regarding the Gigabyte GA-EP45T-USB3P board or would I be better off starting a new thread? Just after some overclock and stability information.
Thanks,
pharvard
i have an ud3r now but cant get 500fsb pl8 stable...
Anny one has some tips.
What are you running your ram at, 2.00d/b or 2.40? At 500 fsb PL 8 should not be a problem on 2.40B but if your still using 1:1 2.00D is the only one that will run pl8 and thats only if your ram is running at cas 4.
iam using 2.00B cause ih ave crap ram.... so it isnt possible for me then ...Quote:

already using pl 9 with 2.00B :P
Had 4.25 GHz prime stable for about 6 hours, and now i had a bsod with code 000124. maybe try 2.00D :P
Hey all, I have the EP45-USB3 version, do you know if there is any newer bios than what it was shipped with available and compatible for my board?

Ah, hope this thread never dies!
Favorite motherboard I've ever owned. Had more fun with it + Q9650 and D9's than any other platform :)
as long as there is no "to BUY" section, if anybody in EU (or ships.. to EU) wants to sell EP45T-UD3P or EP45T-USB3P , drop a pm ;)

Though I don't know which BIOS is compatible with my EP45-USB3P...
I didn't see it ether, might have to ask Stasio for it.Quote:

I've finally made the time (and space) to set up a little benching table for my USB3P and have had a little success with it. I'm currently trying out an E4600 (I know, v.poor) and have managed 3.82GHz on air (with 1.62v) which a 1M PI time of <15secs puts me in the top 20 - the DDR3 should win me some points for the 32M at least but will have definitely have to push this poor little chip a bit harder tonight - It's not hot enough yet! Currently on 11x multi 382FSb so might also go for higher fsb / lower multi to get the ram speeds up.
Question relating to CPU/NB refs for dual cores... has anyone found you have to lower the ref from 0.76 for dual cores rather than raise to 0.785+ (like what's needed for q9xxx)?
Next step will be my E7400, followed by an E8400 and maybe E8500 - this little board could give me some small advantages with DDR3 on the go. Will post some results in a day or so :)
what is the best bios for the UD3R ??
Correct. Try 0.66-0.74 for dual core.Quote:

Hep hey, just got a secondhand P45-UD3P 1.0 and I'm on the hunt for 4.5GHz on a E8400.
But there are a :banana::banana::banana::banana: load of settings to fiddle with compared to my old Commando so a few tips are more than welcome. :up:
I can boot into windows no problem at 4.5 and run a few minutes of Orthos before it gives me a "Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4" error.
Settings:
500x9
LLC enabled
CPU VCore: 1.375
CPU Termi: 1.240
CPU PLL: 1570
CPU Ref: Normal
MCH Core: 1.320
MCH Ref: 0.7650
MCH/DRAM Ref: Normal
ICH I/O: Normal
ICH Core:Normal
DRAM Voltage: 2.1
DRAM Termi: Auto
2.00D, X.M.P Disabled, Performance Enhance std. and SPD Normal.
Any suggestions where to start (what to touch and what to leave be) to find some stability?
I was going to try and buy that board and slap some cpu's in it to gun it high, but after people were getting desperate on ebay and bidding over $200 for a new one, and then later, I saw a bid of over $200 for a ***USED*** one, and even saw one sell that had a couple of bent pins (I emailed the seller) for over $140, I was like....forget it.... can only trust XS sellers or new items if elsewhere...
Makes me wonder why my USB3P would have gone for less than £50 about 6 months ago if I hadn't reserved it. $200 is a lot for an old gen board and I'm glad I kept hold of mine.
Anyone got any settings or hints for an e8x00 above 600fsb? I can do 1M PI runs but not 32M at 600x6 and 605fsb max. I've tried all combinations of cpu/nb skews which don't seem to make a huge difference. Refs have helped me get 1M stable even at low volts (1.34vtt and 1.38mch) but it always hangs or gives rounding errors around 10 secs of 32M even with v.high volts with various refs... Currently on F2d bios (not that there's a lot to choose from on the USB3P)...help!
Getting above 600 FSB is more luck than anything else. The highest fsb I ever saw mentioned was like 613 FSB and that was on a ep45 ud3p. And board revisions mattered, too.
I guess you may have to subzero the NB and throw a lot of volts at it...
Wow! I just got a almost new UD3P 1.0 for $72 with all the accessory's and the box.Quote:
