It sure can't hurt! Can you post you BIOS settings as well? Also, I see your MCH/DRAM Ref lower than normal...does that help? Much thanks:)Quote:

And then there is the max volts for the P45 Chipset to woory about !! :confused:
Did some benching on my E8500 with UD3R this afternoon. In one hour I did.

Am I right in assuming this with 45nm Duals....
1) Lower VID chips OC higher/better and with less volts, but put out greater heat.
2) Higher VID chips OC a little lower/not as good and with more volts, but put out less heat.
Wondering cause I am think of getting a E3110 (XEON version of E8400) and if it has a lower VID (which the XEONs usually do), then I was going to swap it for my E8500 that has a VID of 1.250. Any suggestions or experience with this. Thanks!
For me better higher VID.
Q9650 VID 1.2125 at 4.5GHz 1.45v - temp more then 80c, i can't cool it now, in summer.
Q9550 VID 1.25 at 4.37GHz 1.5625v - temp about 77-78с
I think lower vid chips do run hotter but take less vcore to reach a given speed. Im not sure they will oc higher in general. All depends how much vcore you are willing to use and what type of cooling you have.
That reads with what I've been seeing in this thread for good overclocks.Quote:

So, were back to the question of whether volts (and at what value) will destroy CPU! :shrug:
I think its been shown too much vcore will eventually damage/kill the CPU. But we don't know how long that will take. If you intend on keeping it for a good amount of time maybe its best to stick within the Intel specs. If not....enjoy.
Is 2-3 years a good amount of time? I figure I will upgrade again in 2-3 years.
If I was concerned about it and wanted to keep it that long I would stay under 1.3625v, but that's me.

Do you run more than one Prime at a time (I assume you do from the screenshots)? I have been testing my E8400 with just one Prime running, should I be running more?
No your fine. If you have multithreaded prime95 version it will test all your cores at once.Quote:

5 months ago I needed 1.39vcore for 4500 and never hit 12hrs Prime95 mark. This latest setup was able to achieve that with 1.32vcore, on same cpu and same GSkills PI that where abused a lot with high voltages for World Records achievements. Same thing with the CPU, loads of voltages, high pll (1.85pll) and it needs less volts for same setups everyday.
I'll post soon, keep following the thread. :up:
I think he is running 4 separate primes is because that way it will use more memory. If i run 1 version of prime it uses 1,5Gigs (total) of memory in blend. But if i run 4 instances testing one cpu in each instance. Each prime instance uses 1.5Gigs. Meaning Prime is now using 6Gigs of memory instead of just 1,5Gig.Quote:

I finally got around to get this template for you guys, sorry the delay...
This setup came with the summer. I know I was already with 4700Mhz stable setup but this 4500Mhz/4Gb_1200DDR2 is good because of the low voltages and maybe possible on AIR with good Hs's out there. the mem's used where the well known G.Skill's PI edition (4Gb).
Volts used: 1.32vcore / 1.34vtt / 1.50pll / 2.0vdimm / 1.40mch
CPU Cooling: WC Swiftech MCR : Thermalright XWB-1 : MCP655 : NBM-MAT 120mm Fans : 15000 BTU AC in the Room
Bios: F8. (works with any BIOS actually).
This also proves that degradation on these Quads is almost a Myth, this CPU is the same I had from the start and every time I prime95 an old setup I had it just blows the barrier of low voltages all the time. I need less and less voltages to achieve same clocks. This same cpu and gskill had to endure this to be here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=227129 :ROTF:
I always try to send as many pics of the entire testing process (beginning/middle/end) because it shows the real voltage used with all the tests.

Some settings will be hardware specific, like CPU and MCH ref and also memory settings will vary according to what your ram is capable of.

Thanks for posting your settings Jor3lBr. :up: I think my q9650 is capable of doing 4.5ghz using those settings + a little bump vcore but temps are out of control. Guess I need water cooling for a stable 4.5ghz. Not sure I want to spend any more money for a 775 rig with the i7 prices dropping though.
Watercooling is knocking on my door too OC Nub :welcome:
Just not sure what to order or how much of a pita it will be to change out hardware. Is it possible to get a real good setup for $300 or less? I hit 85c+ in LinX at 1.3875v. My CPU needs that or a little more maybe to reach 4.5ghz. Will water cooling get my temps low enough to run LinX?Quote:

You're right. Better if you'll select a set from separate parts, like i'm, for example.Quote:

Im all for a kit, for one it would save time picking out parts and paying for multiple shipping charges. I just wonder what kind of results I will see. 5 to 7c lower doesnt put me where I need to be. Maybe Im not going to find what I need using water IDK. :shrug: Maybe xtreme cooling is what I need but IDK if there are any that can be run for extended periods of time. I mostly play games and just fool around with oc'ing in between gaming.
Nub, what would really make a difference would be cold air going into the radiator fins.Quote:

Hey guys this is what I have. Been priming for 8 hours now. Ran the intel burn test 15 times no problem. The DDR3 ver of this mobo sucks for clocking ram. Good luck getting it over 1600MHZ unless your using the bugged 3:5. Anyone got getter ram speeds? have you seen that it seems like you have to run a little more then the rated voltage to the ram?
http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...ghank/4250.jpg
The back of my pc is about 1ft away from an AC window unit, it would blow right on the radiator if mounted on the back of my 1200 antec. What kit or parts would you suggest? I have never tried water cooling and have no idea what I need. Thanks.Quote:

Leeghoofd had the same problem, a think that he had a little better luck with those low volt Elpida Hyper.
The good thing is that run a 45nm quad ~FSB 500 with these UD3 board is so easy. :up:, I just love it.
But FSB 500 ram DDR3-1600C7 is a little better then FSB 500 ram DDR2-1200C5 though, hope that cheer you up a little. :)
right on thanks! Looks like F1 bios could have something to do with it. man thats some fast ram!
been gone for a couple of weeks(no internet) but i got to say there are some great results

P.S. great to see Jor3lBR back in action in the thread,went quiet for awhile.
Hey,
I can't seem to be able to go 1200Mhz+ DDR2 on my OCZ PC2 9200 Reapers. I used to be able to hit 1206Mhz Pl8 no problem 12 hours Prime blend stable when I tested with 8800 Ultra as primary gpu but now with HD 4870x2 as soon as ram hits 1200Mhz or higher (2.50A multiplier strap) Prime blend throws errors within an hour.
Running F5 bios, do I just need to tweak the Cpu VTT, Mch core/Mch ref values more?
hello guys...
i have a problem with my new platform...
can i say what is max pll voltage on my gigabyte ud3p?
my cpu is an q9650@4300 vcore 1.375 100% stable on asus maximus formula
i don't know max voltage for daily use and because now prime 95 give me an error on one of 4 cores...:confused:
this is my actual settings from bios and easy tune :shocked:

I see that you still hanging on to that EP45T even though you don´t love it.
i have just upgraded to 8gb of memory i have 2x TW2X4G6400C4PRO 2x2gb
and i have had the rig at 3.5ghz overclock with only 2 sticks of 2gb but getting the cpu @3.5 means the memory goes to 876mhz.
But i dont know if its safe to overclock memory and how long it will last at 876mhz i have 4sticks of 2gb now can anyone help me becuse i cant get the memory any lower in speed.
The motherbord im using is the ep45-ud3r i have a gtx 280 no oc and all i want to know is i have the cpu @3.2 and it is stable is it worth going for 3.5 and overclockg the memory as well im curently getting 16553 on 3d mark 06 if it helps
thanks guys i hope you can help

Biggest thing is figuring out the % stuff. You gott know how to do math. Its gonna take some reading. the more you read the more you learn. the more you learn and really understand the HIGHER your OC will be. I have spent 30+ hours getting to know this board. Ya i still think the DDR3 ver sucks over the DDR2 ver but its still a great mobo for the price.
Hope you gonna like your RF, it´s stable and robust board, not the best for quad though.Quote:

Hello there,
I own a UD3R and a e8500 (e0 stepping).
So, can you help me overclock this little monster ? ( My heatstink is Ultra 120 Extreme)
Any tips ?
What bios version should I use ?
Should I enable LLC ?
Should I mess with GTL Voltages or set them AUTO ?
\Thank you in advance!
You gonna roll the dice for one more EP45T, do you hope that this UD5 are better then your old EP45T- UD3, memory wise.Quote:

Shouldn´t be any problems for you to reach that (with lower core volt), you should be able to reach 4,25 - 4,50 with a bus speed 500 and ram at DDR2-1000 (use Latch 400).

Find a template that suits core duo and start from there.
To find out MCH Ref is easy, set it and Memtest #7 and #8.
it is ddr2 ;)Quote:

nate911: you will find alot of people say they like to keep VTT a couple notches below Vcore, some say raise it when you start upping your FSB
(ie. 450). Both are correct, just dont raise it too high. I wouldnt raise mine above 1.4 for 24/7 use.

Hey guys great great OC all !!! congrats to all :up::up:
here's a little contribution for the quads, thanks to jor and hoss that helped me :up::up:

andressergio,Q9650@ 4824mhz (536x9) mems 1286mhz pl8
thats just awesome!hell,im sure there are plenty of dual core
owners who envy that OC.youve got a great setup and you
got the skillz to do wonders with it.im sure your going to hit
5GHZ soon:up:
thanks mate that's just a bench im runing 4545 at 1,4vcore with mems at 1212 pl8 for 24/7 wich is awesomeQuote:

thanks so much guys.
couldnt have done it without all the help
and advice i've received here at XS over the past year.:up:
andressergio and radaja :
Awesome clocks, congrats to both of you. :up:
thanks Jupiler
And thank you too for the compliment.
I'm trying 4400Mhz with 1.392V now, but I'm getting an error on one of the cores at the 8k test.
My CPU scales pretty well though :
4000Mhz with 1.232V ( haven't tried lower though)
4100Mhz with 1.264V
thanks mate :up:Quote:

VDimm is at 1.80V, running some OCZ LV1066. They run pretty good. I posted some results in the Bandwith section :

Only nine post from the 22nd to 27th. Must have been the calm before the storm. Flurry of fantastic results yesterday and today. Very impressive. Congrats.
**edit,I srly was going to do this this wk end, but got tied up w/other stuff. radaja, thank you.

i also ran 200 tests on custom @64 mb and passed again the temps and volts are in bios
volts @1.2
rest of mobo 2 noches above standard volts
core 0 @71c
core 1 @71c
core 2 @63c
core 3 @63c maximum temp using air cooling
temp monertering using zalman zm-mfc2 controller
room temp @27c man its hot today
PS WHAT SPEED OVERCLOCK IS CLASED TO BE AN EXTREME OVERCLOCK IE 1GHZ OR 2GHZ ECT
gigabite EP45UD3R
motherbord @40c by heat sink (thermalright HR O5 SLI/IFX)
memory @46c (temp probe between dim 1-2) for most heat
@2.08 volts 4.4.4.12.
is thease temps and overclocks good for 24-7 use becuse i want it to be good for atleast 4-5 years what do you guys think
thanks for everytone thats helping me on this :)
Seems everyone's having the same problem with the EP45T-UD3R... i can't get mine to run at 1600 CAS 7, like my ram is rated for. I have a 2x2GB OCZ platinum kit, 1600 CAS 7, 1.9v.
I can get it to boot, but as soon as i run prime blend it fails immediately. No matter what timings, voltage and strap i use, it's all the same...
Now, i started playing with the driving strengths, and these made a huge difference ! set them all to +8, just for the sake, and it made it last 10-20mins on prime blend before fail... quite the difference.
Too bad the board doesn't have the driving strength profiles... it's hard to tune all 8 settings for both channels :(
Does anyone have any experience with the driving strengths? care to share ? :)
i dont know if it is or not but raise the volts up 2 noches with the ram but i thught 1.9 will be low to dont go any higher that 2.1volts if your running stock latencies if that dont work only try 1 stick of ram and then the other stick to check if its the ram at fault but also try the memory in diferent slots as well thats all i can think of to be honnest if that dont work i really dont knowQuote:

Way to warm now, 28°C outside, 27° roomtemp.
At 4400Mhz and 1.408V, watertemp goes up to 30°C, CPU temps in the high 60'.
Have to wait until it cools down a bit (which won't happen this week) :shakes:

But i just tried 2.0v, and it went from immediate fail, to it failing on the 3rd test, so i bumped it up to 2.06v, and it was passing a good few tests before i stopped it, so it defintely works... but it's just annoying how i have to run so much volts through it. :/Quote:

These are the ref's i'm on about:
MCH/DRAM Ref
DRAM Termination
Channel A Data Reference
Channel B Data Reference
Channel A Address Reference
Channel B Address Reference
Thanks :)
Is there anyone that can tell me "how" to set my VTT (CPU Termination) ? ( I mean the idea and the concept of thoughts).
Is there any template ? eg for FSB ~ 400 --> VTT should be around 1.2 - 1.3 . . . . or how ?
It can vary, but should be no higher than .1 below CPU Voltage.Quote:

Thanks andressergio. I was inspired by your and radaja's and other post prior. Great motivation. Great job to all.
edit: I changed mems but still was unable to get more than 1m. By lowering dram volts and changing mch ref a notch, I was able to get 8m. Very picky, but the difference is alot.
