@nullface: Play around with voltages a bit, you should be able to get it stable if it's already running Orthos for a few minutes. Just make sure your NB isn't overheating. And maybe raise MCH ref a bit, to 0.776V.
@In-Fluence: Did you try higher Vmch? Make sure your NB is cooled properly, 32M stresses it a lot more than 1M.
Which memory kit and divider are you using?
Hi Don_Dan. Currently on GSkill's eco 1600 rated 7-8-7-24 1t but can do plenty more on this board. 2.00D has worked best for me but all dividers work with varying success. I've tried plenty of MCH (and have before whilst running q9650 benches) and have plenty of big fans blowing away at it. I can try and re-mount the mch sink again which may offer better results, but the brick wall at around 600fsb has me a little stumped... tried PCIE frequency, lowered tread to 15, tried low & high vtts with varying ref values. Seems like it could be end of the line but will give it another go in a day or so. Thanks for the hints.
How is the Normal setting, are they 100% safe 24/7 options or are they set a bit optimistic and can be lowered in most cases? (or some of them at least)
How'd you manage that?Quote:

I hardly trust people there; you never know when you are going to get a dead board, and then get hassled with "no refunds." But I guess things are better than they were eight years ago. The last mainboard I bought on ebay was advertised as a "working pull", but was COMPLETELY dead, not only were some of the caps bad, the chipset itself was dead. Luckily Homie over at the defunct motherboardrepair.com fixed everything...
If something like this had happened now, I would have filed a chargeback for fraud....
Got it on a danish hardware forum (tweak.dk), so no ebay. I don't think the sealer (or me for that matter) was aware of what UD3P's can go for on ebay. :D So i was lucky i guess.
To me it seems like you tried almost everything I can think of...Quote:

Fair enough, thanks for the feedback. I'm starting to come to that conclusion as well as I've never been that far above this fsb on this chip. There's an E8400 I can try this with so will take that home tonight and see what it's got, although they were purchased around the same time so not getting my hopes up too high. I can post at around 625fsb but no hope of entering windoze on it. Thanks for the feedback though.
I also noticed you can't disable multithreading on the E8x00's but on the E4600 I could which left it running just 1 core and allowed me to put more volts into it (managed to still comfortably run up to 1.8v on it).
Whats the max power (wattage) that rev 1.0 UD3P can deliver to cpu? I'm priming 4.5Ghz+ on air and according to Everest chip power consumption peaks at around 220-230W.
i was stable and now i get bsods every day... that sucks :P seems that i have to rework my oc ;)
IT depends on how cool you keep your vrms - they'll deliver more power when cooler. I had around 250w on my old Q9650 when under load, no special vrm cooling was used, but I did re-mount them with small nuts & bolts rather than push-pins which does help a little.Quote:

cheers and good luck :up:

In-Fluence glad to see you on 775 mate still i remember those days so much fun :up:Quote:

E8500 didn't give anything worth mentioning, but I have an E8400 and the old Q9650 which might be worth one final stab. I really want to break the FSB record, and I'm convinced the USB3P could do it with the right chip and some decent NB cooling...
cool man have fun !!!Quote:

Hey everyone, it's been awhile. Just added a RAID setup to my work PC 3 days ago, now I'm having system lockups/crashes all of a sudden since then. No BSOD, just locks up and restarts. I'm thinking it's an ICH Core thing...how many drives can the standard 1.10v handle? I'm at 4 drives right now. Thanks!
Humm, it's been a while for me but I bet you need about 1.30 on the ICH.Quote:

I guess DDR3 doesn't like those higher volts for longevity.
EDIT: Well, it's not the RAM. Turns out it was an ATI Video driver issue. Been running with std VGA drivers since yesterday afternoon and no crashes/reboots since then compared to every half hour. I'll have to roll back to older stable version of ATI.
Could someone help me out with a few settings to OC a q9550 on a ep45-ud3p?
I cant get it past 2.8ghz with out it going mental. :mad:
Surely you mean 3.8?Quote:

Yeah, you should be able to go to about 3.6 without even adding volts.
Hey, do any of you notice line noise coming from your headphones(specifically low impedence ones) with this motherboard? I've been dealing with this for the past couple of years. I have changed my power supply several times; I have been through 3TX750, 2PCPC silencer 750's(helped a little), and TX750V2(same result as silencer). I have also swapped my 88GT for my 86GT and I still notice the same noise. The noise sounds like this, except it bleeds through the auxiliary. I'm at wit's end with this issue and hope to seek enlightnent from one of you :|
nope i'm stuck on 2.8ghz, thats the stock speed isnt it?Quote:

Well shielded and grounded cabling and equipment is important too and even things like fans can add to the noise. Running cables away from other power sources helps, and if you're willing, try clipping some ferrite interference filters around them. Like I say though, an external sound card is by far the best solution, anything that processes the sound away from the cpu is good imo.
I see you're an Antec P180 owner - they help with noise too :)
Thank you so much In-Fluence. I thought there was something wrong with my MoBo since my MSI board prior to the P45 had no noticeable line noise(although to Gygabyte's defense, I upgraded from my E4300 to the Q9550, which may have something to do with it, when my MSI board croaked)
While we're on it, what do you reccomend for an audio card? My Razer Barracuda AC1 is about as equally crappy as my onboard when it comes to interference; I'm thinking about upgrading my headphone to a Senn HD650, and the Asus Essence STX looks mighty nice considering it is capable of driving 600ohm equipment :)
PS: I'd like a card that's capable of accepting ~7.1 channels incase I plug my z5300 back in (currently running off headphones to save desk space). I vaguely remember someone saying Asus will have an adapter for the STX enebleing 3+ channel output?
Thanks again for your help!
