Man how can they sell it this cheap, only site that lists UD3R and P in Finland wants 148 EUR and 165 EUR respectively!!! Talk about getting price raped. :soap:

With the P4Pi BIOS in another thread, I think it was hicookie that got ~45.5k at PL9 and modest settings. :D

I'm also excited for future UD3 boards :D

The validation is on your USB drive. I put it there.

Yeah this board has pretty much convinced me to go Gigabyte again for X58.
It's just so hard to give up the sexy frills of ASUS! I can't wait to get some actual numbers on R2E and its 16pwm and GA-EX58 and its copper and such.

crazy stuff
DDR2 and DDR3 speeds in dual channel and all
heh

Gigabyte is saying that one of the reasons for the design change to 2oz is to improve RAM overclocking even more

seems to be that way :)

They also seem to improve performance slightly with it. Gigabyte hasn't been very good for superpi b4 but with these boards they are a lil bit faster as I saw a 1M posted in another thread.

it's just bios (obviously the board has to give you decent settings to get that performance too)

i've done a superfast time with pre-45nm bioses in the past on X38-DQ6 >> even below 45K PP ;)

45022 pp

44908 pp and it wasnt fully tweaked yet

what this P45-UD3P board has over these older boards is that fact it can run monster FSB (hugely important for benching these dual cores) and huge RAM speeds :D.....

I would like to see max fsb on a 45 quad. Looking at getting this as a replacement for my disappointing p35 ds3r

Sexy motherboards. The $117 pricetag after MIR is incredibly attractive too: P45, UD3, ICH10R, and CFX compatible. Excellent layout, Firewire, and a good package overall. Dang--Gigabyte's going to make a killing off of these!

strange, tested On UD3P can do 550x6 max out and not stable even at X7,X8...
Using Initial bios F4.
Mine E8500 can do 600fsb, tested on dfi 45 plus. And after changing to another DFi 45 plus ( rma new one ) no longer can do 600Fsb.
So I am sure, P45 chips are not consistence. Or needed a better bios to do it.
My guess is that the bios can do more.
A friend on mine using Msi P45neo2 fr, initially did 510fsb 2 mths back and he update the new bios 3.2 and voila ! 604fsb.
cOME ON gUYS ( gigabyte ), give us a better bios or is meant only for special group.
ASUs & Gigabyte :(

send him a pm but no news yet...just download from the site initial released F4.
After flashing it was F4-4. Still stuck at 540x7...even worst...:down:
Even tested UD3R can do 490x6fsb.

MSi can do much better after bios update to 3.2...BIOS !

you should create a thread and put down detailed settings what you're doing to get that OC
probably the best way to get help quick :up:
