Had a little issue this morning. Flashed to the newest bios (f9 i believe) i was running the original bios. Anyways, flashed with q-flash and all went well until i tried to boot into windows, one of my four raptors is no longer a member disk in my raid, anyway to quickly fix this or am i SOL and need to rebuild the array and reinstall?
I had the same problem last week when the DualBIOS feature loaded the shipping BIOS F4 on to my board and that had a setting in it which caused the MBR on one of my RAID0 disks to be written with data and caused it to show as no longer a member of my RAID setup.Quote:

What should I try adjusting to get higher clocks? I can boot and run at 500x9 but not as stable as I like, and lots more volts with high IB temps- in 90s. I am putting in the new g.skill lv 1200 sticks this weekend and hope that will help things.
I wanted to ask early in the week to get suggestions. I have tried several hundred combinations and logged all. Honestly I have no clue what I am doing- how different settings relate. I have discovered that different settings with the same speed yeild different super pi results, with the fastest being somewhat more stable.
I greatly appreciate the constructive criticism and advise. I have learned much in this forum.
Thanks
Hi All
I decided to post this thread
I have been playing with this board
Its interesting.

It was stable on prime 95 for about 1/2 hour this morning, will do more testing tonight and see if it's really stable. Mem is at 5-5-5-15. Air-cooled.
Finally got my 9650 on water. This is a bit messy but until I decide how to mount everything it will have to do. Put it together as a temporary setup so wire management is pretty bad. The res I ordered will not fit inside the case. I used velcro extreme and a ziptie to mount it to the side of the rad, guess I should have looked at the specs before ordering :eek:. Temps are good though so I am pretty happy. Had a minor leak but not inside the case, got that fixed and seems to be ok now. Next I would like to get a NB Block.
Haha, that is messy. But if it works.... Are you using home depot tubing? I'm using that stuff because I was too lazy/cheap to get the better stuff. I will say that the cheap stuff is a huge pain to use because they are so stiff. You can't really maneuver anything around without putting force on the nozzles. So yeah, if you do decide NB, i recommend good tubing, clearflex at the least. Especially given how close your NB is to your CPUQuote:

Thanks Jor3lBR, I don't have any before and after but the temps are much better. I can prime up to 1.475v bios now without going over 75c, could never do that before.
Injuis, I ordered some from sidewinder but ordered the wrong thing so I picked this up from Lowes. I actually like this tubing but for the nb I will get something different. If you heat the tubing in warm (distilled) water it is easy to work with and when it cools it keeps the shape/bend you formed.
Have been working on higher FSB today, Priming at 512x8.5. http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/1903/512o.png

Thank you Sergio.
Got them today, cleared CMOS and installed, booted right up. Runs at 1200 easily, everything okay with memtest. Booted as high as 1275, but not stable there-at least at my settings. B and D run okay, but doesnt like C.
Frustrated because I stll cant get stable above 4300. These sticks were not the magic bullet- guess I have to go water cooling after all.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to get more on air, let me know.

Hi there,
I recently switched over from a Maximus Formula x38 @ Rampage x48 to the EP45-UD3P.
Today's overclock-day so here's a little worklog. Any input is very welcome.
The full system specs are in my signature, but we're dealing with an E8500 C0 here.
The RAM was capable of something remotely stable on 1200-5-5-5-18 4x1GB. I'm aiming at <=DDR2-1200.
I'm looking at getting the maximum out of my RAM while maintaining the highest stable CPU OC.
I consider "stable" roughly 5 minutes of OCCT testing. After such stability I move on to the next step, until instability shows up, then I back off and start long-term testing.

So, as it seems my UD3P doesn't like it when I up the voltage of my RAM, which I think is really odd. If anyone can give me info on this it'd be much appreciated.
"So, as it seems my UD3P doesn't like it when I up the voltage of my RAM, which I think is really odd. If anyone can give me info on this it'd be much appreciated."
I can't give you any info on this other than mine is like that also. Just letting you know. I'm don't know if it is in certain situations, but at times if I try to clock high and have vdimm too high, bad results. Lower vdimm and it works ok. Oddly enough, around the recommended voltage seems best. I can do well around 2.2v to 2.4v
6x455 seems pretty steady.
Quote:
Linx - Problem Size 20 000 - 2 Hours
Orthos - Small FFT & Priority 9 - 5 Hours
IBT - Stress Level Maximum - 20 loops
So, I am trying 6x560 but IBT failed at 4th loop. So what I am supposed to do now ?
Should I :
Raise CPU Termination Voltage (aka VTT)
Raise MCH Core Voltage
Other action ( ? ? ? )
Dr.Paneas,
It would help us all help you better if you put your systems specs in your sig.
I can do 471 X 8.5= 4.0 perfectly stable but I go into a non stop rebooting loop never getting to bios if I try 534 X 7.5 = 4.0. This is on my Q9550 E0 VID 1.16 cpu with the latest official bios. anybody have any ideas? I am trying to get my 1066 ram back up closer to its rated speed.
Does anyone know if 2 Enzotech mst-81's will fit on the mosfets on the UD3R? I'm thinking about ditching my P5Q D for one and would like to throw the chipset heatsinks from the P5Q on it.
Thanks
new bios "10b" @ tweaktown. anyone try it??? :)

Voltages look fine. Temps could be better...do you have a fan on that Ultra 120 Extreme? If not, should add one. Stable???...I would shoot for 20 pass at max stress level in IBT. But that's just me. Good luck!Quote:

I just bought the ud3r and when it gets here I'm going to remove the nb heatsink and put some mx-2 on there.
Has anybody found it better to remove the heatpipe connecting the pwm and nb or leave it on there?
Just got this board in to replace a dying DFI LT X38-T2R but I'm stuggling with it. My setup is
Intel Q6600 G0
4x1GB Crucial Ballistix (D9)
2 x HD3870
160GB Samsung
500GB Samsung
Corsait 620HX
All this stuff is carried over from the DFI which could get 3.6GHz on the Q6000 on as little at 1.325v with the memory somewhere around DDR2-1100 with 1.98v, Prime stable of course.
On this board, I can't get 3.60 Prime stable no matter what volts I throw at it. I managed to get Vista bootable, which was a chore in itself (even with stock settings, Windows wouldn't boot). But even though I can boot Windows and maybe run a SuperPi or run Street Fighter 4 benchmark, it's not at all Prime stable (Core 1 always fails instantly).
I've tried many settings, but nothing is stable. Updated BIOS to F9 and then F10b with no improvement.

I have a Gigabyte EP45-UD3L coming in the mail from Newegg and am wondering what I need to do to get the most out of it. I'm not overclocking or anything at the moment, but is there a BIOS, softmod, software, etc that will make it perform better, more stable?
There is absolutely no need to do that. Install it and enjoy! :up:Quote:

But then i found that to even boot 400x9 i needed to increase the MCH Reference to 0.80v. You might have to fiddle about with the CPU Reference IF that doesn't help, but i found the default setting of 0.760 was fine up til about 450x8.
Tell me how it goes.
I figured my AUTO settings were holding me back, just like you said. So I started messing with the ref values and started over =) Currently at 3.4GHz with vcore at 1.34375 (CPU-Z and BIOS read 1.312) and so far prime stable. All other voltages are fairly low if not at stock. So I guess I'll just keep inching my way back up to 3.6 in this manner.Quote:

What options are there out there for aftermarket vrm sinks for the UD3R other than the HR-09?
I started thinking about upgrading my system from a my proven Maximus Formula + Q6600 @ 3.6 Ghz (9x400) setup. Memory timings and high FSB values are not important, I would prefer stability over anything else and the possibility to use 8 GB RAM.
I am looking for a UD3P based setup with either Q9550 or Q9650. Which one would you choose? I am aiming for about 4.2 Ghz, but with the lowest possible voltages. I am using TRUE120 with one Syche 2000 fan. I would aim for about 4.2 Ghz. It would mean 8.5 x 500 for the Q9550 or 9 x 470 for the Q9650. FSB 472 is more stable because of the 8 GB RAM, isn't it?
Or these boards are so stable up to 500 that it really doesn't matter? Can I easily use one with FSB 500 for 24/7 on the long term?
Do you think I can get a system which is as stable as my Maximus Formula was, which means once set up to be Prime stable it will be running without a fuss for years?
For 4.2ghz 24/7 I think you would have a better chance with a q9650. As for 8gb of mem I haven't tried but there are guys in this thread that have had success using 8gb. With a quad this board should oc much better than your Maximus baord.Quote:

Just got the UD3 a few days ago. Yeah, the cheap and basic UD3, not the R or P :) And I have to say it's really great. Definitely lives up to the serie and the 2 other boards. A lot of bios options, stable, great for OC. I did a pretty good OC for 24/7 use with my new E6300. And what's really good I didn't have to throw a lot of volts at my mobo :)
bios volts:
cpu vcore - 1.35v (1.328v both idle and load @ cpu-z)
cpu termination - 1.24v
cpu pll - 1.5v
cpu ref - 0.848
mch core - 1.2v
mch ref - 0.76
mch/dram ref - 0.91
ich io - 1.5v
ich core 1.1v
What can I say... Gigabyte kicked some serious ass right here! I got on this from the Maximus Formula.
This board definitely does not like my D9 Tracers. I popped in a spare pair of DDR2-800 GSkills and am stable at 3.60GHz with the following:
As soon as I replace the GSkills with the Tracers (and increase the RAM volts and refs accordingly), OCCT will cause BSOD a little after 20 min. Increasing voltages doesn't seem to fix anything.Code:******Gigabyte EP45 UD3P******

Pretty disappointed overall with this board. I was already able to do 3.60GHz with my DFI X38-T2R with 4x1GB Tracers. This board can't even get that high with 2x1GB. I can't justify spending an additional $80 on new RAM just to get the same overclock I could already get with my old board. Also, I find Crossfire on the PCI-e 2.0 (at x8) slower than Crossfire on the PCI-e 1.0 (at x16) on the x38.
I'll give it a couple more days trying for higher than 3.60GHz with the GSkills, but if I can't get it stable higher than that, I'll probably RMA for refund and go back to my old board.
With all due respect, thinking u could go higher then 3.6 on this mobo was a mistake. I mean, ur old one is pretty badass for OC also, and getting more then 3.6 shouldn't be a problem on it aswell. You just weren't lucky with the chip, 1.4v for 3.6 for a Quad is very average to say the least. Well, I hope u'll manage to solve your ram stability issues. But I don't think the upgrade was worth it at all, since u prolly won't get any further on this quad whatever the mobo is, so maybe refunding wouldn't be such a bad idea. After all, ur old DFI is still a very good board, why change it if ur not changing the chip? :) Cheers.
Well, the DFI could do 3.8 if I pushed it. But it's been having issues with cold boot and waking from sleep and other issues that made me believe it was ready to die so I decided to get a new board. With everyone saying how awesome the UD3P is with quads and that it worked fine with D9 I thought I'd be able to run the 3.8 with less volts and finally be rid of my cold boot issues. But this board can't even do 3.6 stable. Maybe I just got a bad board, or maybe it's really not as good for 65nm quad and D9 as everyone says. I don't know. I'm just not having much luck with it and I think I'll go back to my semi-messed up DFI until it dies completely. :shrug:Quote:

Well, I can't tell u much about this board and quads myself. I just sold my Q6600 a few days ago and exchanged it for a E6300. It was working on 3.6 1.32v on a Maximus Formula without any problems with G.Skill mems. Tho I really went thru A LOT making the ram stable, I also tried earlier with corsairs and kingmax but both failed to be stable on the Maximus... Dunno why such things happen but it seems like memories are just a random issue sometimes. The same kingmax sticks that failed miserebly on the MF, worked just great on a Gigabyte DS3, lol.
Anyway, good luck with your troubles.
Well, your using two occupied dimms and expecting the same settings to work for four occupied dimms with a quad. Thats not going to happen. Your VTT and is way low and you need more vMCH too. I would start with that and then play with your GTLs, they seem pretty low as well.Quote:

The lights turn on...then they shut off...then they turn back on...and shut back off until I turn off the power and restart the computer. Then it's fine again. What setting is causing this to happen?

S3 sleep doesnt work, you have to use S1
Hoss331 - Please explain, how do I access S1 sleep? I just click on the start menu then sleep.
Its in the bios under power management - acpi suspend type - S1.
yes it can pass easy.i dont have this board anymore,this was on my UD3P.Quote:

Hello All,
I just installed my q9650 last night and I needed you help with the "optimization of my O/C.
I am sitting pretty at 4GHz and just finished with an 8 hour prime95 run without any issues.
I am happy with 4 GHz for now and will probably keep it here without a real need to go higher.
I did have a couple of questions:
1. I have a temperature split on the 4 cores when I am at idle. they are
37-37-32-34
Is this anything I need to be concerned about?
2. My Load temps are:
61-59-59-60
I think these look good, what do you think?
My template is below: Please help me optimize!! :D :D

Jsunn: the difference in temps are the sensors not reading correctly at ilde, nothing to worry about. Your load temps are fine. A LOT of 45nm CPU's have sensor problems. Try 800/800/0/50 in advanced clock control or 900/900/0/50 if that doesn't work, for 500+fsb.
Jsunn: this is a new q9650 I have bugged sensors also but idle only.

OC Nub, thanks for the post. i will give the setting you mentioned a try and post back.
Anyone have any other suggestions?

Just did a few runs on Intel Burn in test running LinPak.
My system was stable, but my temp kind of startled me.
71-71-69-69
Do I need to be concerned?
Thanks!
-J
Jsunn: Your temps are fine, LinX and IBT get the CPU very hot, much more so than Prime. When your temps reach 75c, I would stop using IBT/LinX and start testing with Prime.
your temps were better than mine -- 75 73 73 74! :eek:Quote:

Almost forgot, I just lapped my Q today! maybe my temps will get a little better.

Thats probably why, my ambient is about the same but I haven't run linpack in quite a while. Let me know how much of a difference the lap job makes.
Man your quote is hilarious. I bet that LiberalElephant dude gets laid like every 5 seconds!

this should get you a cool, stable 4300mhz
best of luck!
He has an 8.5 multi, will need more to get 4300mhz stable. Try this and see how it goes.

my bad- he has a q9550- didnt catch that first time.
the same settings work for me at 489x8.5, if you want to try that also
I see a lot of you guys are pushing your Q9550/Q9650's to 4GHz and beyond.
I currently have a Q9550 OC'd to 3.7 GHz and my temps are as follows: (idle)
48
47
50
50
Using this heatsink http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835186134
Room temps are about 86F since it's the summer. Question is, with these temps and my room temps, should i bother OC'ing more?
Also, how are you guys pasting your BIOS settings like that?
Thanks in advance.
Here are my settings:Quote:

just copy one of the templates and use the advance tab next to post quick reply
once in the advance part,(click)the one that looks like this # and paste what you
copied first and thats it.:)
freeza: if you are at 50c idle you may want to consider getting a better cooler or backing your OC down to lower temps. The Ultra 120 Extreme is a very good cooler for Quads.

Thanks!
hello guys
i wish to know does Gigabyte EP45 has any VDroop under heavy load??? (not VDrop)
(i have been suffered from heavy VDroop on EP35 series)
voltage usaully stays the same between idle and full load
I am not sure what your idle temp should be with an ambient room temp of 90f. I would just be careful trying any stress testing with the room that warm.Quote:

Aside from featuring the new Smart 6 system management utilities package(and BIOS), this model remains unchanged.
So, i'm at a stable 3.7 GHz (436*8.5) and i'm wondering if my DDR2 800MHz ram will cripple my attempts at reaching 3.8-4.0GHz on this board?
I'm already running it at 872MHz and it seems to operate just fine, but the higher I raise the FSB, the higher the RAM will go, and there's no way to underclock it with this board is there?
Looking at different versions I've noticed PCI-Express X16 is 2 (1x16 or 2x8) Does this mean that if I don't use one on top and use bottom one I still get X16? It's only X8 when in crossfire? What happens when I use bottom one for my GTX260 and use top one for 9600GT, are they still running at X16 or it's X8?
Take off your heatsink and check the thermal paste. The heatsink you link is pretty decent so your idle temps are a bit high.
After lapping the True, my temp actually went up, running Linpack the temp climbed to 90 C. Scratching my head, I took the heatsink out and peeked underneath. Found out by looking at the thermal paste imprint that the Q9550 was not flat, as a matter of fact both sides were raised with an indentation in the middle. After lapping the CPU, my temp were at an all time low. Idling at 36; prime at 60; Linpack at 66 max.

I agree wholeheartedly about lapping both the True and the cpu ihs. REmember, there is a difference between lapping and polishing. GEt both surfaces as flat as possible, then polish if you want. Apply thermal paste sparingly. Insure that you have a good mount with even pressure on all corners. You might want to look into the "washer" mod- I did and it helps. At the settings below I run 38-40 idle with ambient in the mid 80's F, and in the 60c range while gaming. These are not exception, there are average for a properly prepared True.
I am not satisfied with 4300mhz- I want at least 4500 or more. This is definitely going to take liquid cooling.
Follow the suggestions given and you should have no problems at your clock speeds.

Watching you guys with those Quads makes me want one. But I can't shellout $320 for a Q9650. However, I see that Micro Center has the Q9550 for $169.99, at a high FSB the 8 or 8.5 multiplier is good enough for me. Maybe I'll see if I can sell my E8500 and pick one so I can join the Quad Core Club!!
Nice OC's everyone :clap:
If I'm going 8GB 4x2 on this board, what line is recommended? I want to be stable obviously, and be able to match a relatively high FSB with the ram. Are there any favorites? Does D9 still matter?
so there is no way to adjust the mem to lower freq when OCing the CPU?as the cpu/fsb goes up so does the mem OC??? guess i am headed to a ASUS board. was wanting to get on of the UD3P boards. is the UD3P a 8 phase board or 4?
The lowest speed possible is 1:1 on most boards(UD3P included). I believe the only boards that are capable of running the memory slower than the FSB are nVidia boards.Quote:

Yep correct intel's lowest divider is 1:1, to get the most out of P45 you need to run a divider, so let's say with 500FSB , it's preferrable to run 1200mhz on the rams... don't downgrade to a Nvidia board , upgrade ya rams Cincyrob... UD3P phases will handle any quad fine
Posted in the q9650 thread but wanted to post in this one as well. I love this board. Finally getting close to 4.5ghz.
http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/9905/3hours.png
so then i should be looking for bigger ram than 1066?
as for the divider say 5:6 that is what i should be trying to get my ram at now? instead of the 1:1 mark? i dont think my mem now could handle that.
no many ddr2 1200 to choose from. was looking at ddr3. wow the prices have dropped on them,

What's your FSB at now?
