what are ppl using to control fan speed if anything? ET6 is messed up and fanspeed doesn't seem to do anything either

I'm using the exact same setting ATM. 450 fsb x 9 core 1.3875 set in bios and 1.36 in windows and it doesn't budge during heavy load.Quote:

There may be certain sweet spots on these boards, just have keep testing.
Finally got the board stable with the quad as I didn't even touch the GTL settings for my dual hoping the same with the quad but no go.. finally bumped up the MCH ref a notch and got me this :)

Only using single graphics right now and not sure about going multi gpu (ati) any time soon
well the ud3p seems to have more bios updates...im on the ud3r now at 4.45ghz rock stable with an e8400 since the second day i had the board...and how about i switched bios,s 5 times with the online update interface thing that comes in your driver cd and my board is still alive and kicking and also i pumped as much as 1.4400 v-core and 1.6200 vtt fore over 10 min which isnt that much considering were on extreme systems but any way the cpu is fine and still runs 4.45ghz on 1.37500v v-core so you really cant go wrong with either one of these boards even if the price was higher i would still buy one...but dfi,s new p45 blood iron came out so i would check that out to if you can get over the yellow pci-e slots yuk..:rofl:Quote:

I tried to but lost my board, 2x2 (gskill 9600's) and 2x2 (gskill 8800's) New egg replaced them all but the hard to find 9600's. I bought them a few days earlier after they came back in stock and they were out again when my RMA arrived. I honestly dont know what fried everything but they were dead. I'd try again but i only have 4gb now.Quote:

anyone can burn anyboard ,Cpu ,ram by over doing it these boards are NOT bullet pruff .. as is any board ..
Same here.. this is really annoying... on wake up my logitech G15 v2 keyboard just blink like a Xmas tree until I force shutdown.Quote:

The thing is though, one board and e8600 died at a low clock and 1.39 vcore, and the guy who's board & ram died was only trying to do DDR2 - 1100 with 4 sticks, neither of these situations is anywhere near 'over doing it'.Quote:

I have the CPU reference in bios @ .893 and MCH reference @ .900~, this helped a lot with stabilizing my overclock on the quad and I have no idea how these work, I am just raising until I gain stability.
My chip seems like a monster though, 4.2ghz stable @ 1.264 Intel Burn 20 passes and Small FTT also, just testing the Blend currently for the northbridge stability which looks good so far as I bumped that to 1.360 in bios.
Azn playa what kind of memory are you using bud.
Just a budget pair of G.SKILL DDR2-1000

Not sure what you are talking about. Look at the success rate vs. failure...there could be any number of reasons for the failure that has nothing to do with the boards. This is one of the few boards I've ever seen get 98% score of 4 or 5 on newegg from end user reviews. I think if this board was prone to more failure than usual, we would have heard about it from the whiners that post reviews at newegg. Have a read through some of the Asus and DFI board threads, then think again about how poor this board is....:shrug:Quote:

There are even a case where the guy found out his 8600 wasn't burned by this board.Quote:

So you take a new board and get a lot of early adopters starting to get Xtreme, you have to expect some failures. Plus you hardly hear about success, but always hear about failure, that is just the nature of people and having a post like this,
I am not saying this board is rock solid, but I personally love it,. I got my first sub 10 super PI, my first over 500FSB my highest DDR2 speed and ran a Q9650 @ 4.8G on air. So i am loving it and that makes me more glass half full then being down on this board.
I have my Q9650 ready to go on water and run at 503FSB 4.5GHZ 24/7
Plus once i get in my new place after Dec 1st, I will be cranking my Dominators in that gig contest to go over 1500 Mhz with the ram, i easily got 1284 while tying to rock the fsb... So i am very excited to find out just out how high it can go.
Every board has failures early, add to that a massive OC hands on crowd, and you get wha you see here..:shrug:
I suppose so, people have been pushing them very hard, and also what you said about certainly hearing about failures as opposed to rarely hearing about successes is true. There have been some remarkable speeds, both FSB with duals and quads and also with ram overclocking, achieved. I know there have been some Asus boards with some very mediocre engineering produced, giving quite ordinary results, except for perhaps the P5Q-Deluxe and the Maximus II Formula. However most people with either of those board don't push them hard at all, and use them for 24/7 gaming rigs or workstations, not extreme overclocking like most results you see with the UD3P. I may relent on my suspicions, and grab one and see how it goes, the A3 P45 chipset is something I'd like to experiment with, and this board seems to be the board to do it with if I am indeed going to do so.
One thing I'd like to know from you guys, is how hot the NB gets under load when you are pushing 1.5 - 1.6 vMCH through it? If the boards don't have a NB temp sensor readout, have any of you felt the heatsink to see how hot it was getting?
This board can fail 3 times on me and I'll still be happy, costs 2 times less then my DFI X48 and kicks the but out of it for Quad OC.Quote:

I agree totaly with that price thing, I feel it's he best board i have ever owned and i have owned many many boards.
Asus Striker Extreme
Maximus formula SE

Blitz Extreme
Rampage Formula
Dfi (many Models)
Favorite was the Mars.
MSI Platinium
EVGA
680i
790i ultra
790i FTW
680i LT
Foxcon Blackops.
Most of them cost over 300 just to start.
I have had some failures, lost ram for no reason and some other minor stuff, but I would say i am pretty lucky.
Then i see this GIG UD3 board for 116 after MIR and it turns out to be the most fun board i have ever owned, all i can say is great things about it.
So mine will be doing a Q9650 @ 4.5Ghz with some Dominator 10000's and 2 -3870X2's, this will be a rocking gaming system, all on water.
I was even so impressed that i just ordered the X58 Gig UD5 Extreme, I can't wait!
They have won me over..... But i sill love my Asus, would love to get the X58 Rampage II but only want 1 X58 board for now, so i chose the Gig Extreme.
@CryptiK , i always had a fan pointing over the northbridge, since i even went higher then you stated, i would fell it and it was warm, but never burning. But my plan is that as soon as i gt back to that system after Dec1, i will put the mosfits, northbridge and cpu on water. Plus i will also do something for the southie.....
the it will be interesting to see what the ram and CPU can do on water rather then air like i have been doing.

My E8600 failed while testing on my UT P45-T2RS which I consider to be a high quality board.
bang for buck VS 300$+ boards I've got 3 of them now with QX9770,& 2 each Q9650 on em ... Yeah 1 was funny acting at 1st but I didn;t Fook around any further with it when it seemed not soo kosher & RMA it back , been a happy camper since

Just a quick success story for the doubters:
Just got a ud3p with a C1 q9550. Pulled out the old board, slapped in the new ud3p, and stuck the fuzion water block on the q9550, powered on, went into the bios, set the fsb to 400, and installed vista ultimate 64. The ONLY change I made was to set the fsb to 400, and to set my 8g (4x2g) 1.8V g skill pi's to 400 (2.00d) and boom done. I now have a completely stable 3.4G quad with ddr2-800 running 1:1 with the fsb. WOW was that easy and what a fast machine. :clap:
This is the best mobo I've EVER installed. Beats the old evga 680i/Q6600 combo hands down.

SB dont need any wc. Just replace the tim.
I think EK-NB/SB 5 should fit the board because the mounting holes on the nb is around 64mm. I`m using zern.

One thing I noticed on examing the board. My northbridge is held down by screws. I checked 5 different review sites and 3 of them had the board with screws and two with pushpins (similar to the pics on the front page of this thread).
Is this indicative of a board revision?
My 2 UD3P's Have Screws. 1 screw on each NB was real loose.
Finally managed to mount Sunbeam CCF on this board without any mods.
I took the AM2 mount clip that was laying unused with me and tried it on this bracket. Knowing that the default clip works on the AM2 bracket, I figured reverse should be possible as well. So I removed the stock clip of the Core Contact Freezer and used the AM2+ clip along with the bracket that comes with the CCF.
And it worked. ( bad quality pics, taken from E71 in hurry. )

Temps are great. :D
I've been doing some testing with my 4gb kit of OCZ Reapers. Running here at DDR2-1140. I'm not sure how much higher these sticks can go... seem to be getting some errors in Memtest at 575mhz.
Does increasing MCH core help solve the errors? 1.28v is pretty low for 475 FSB @ PL8 and 575 MHz.Quote:

Two screws and two pushpins ... easy off and easy on! However, I reapplied some Noctua NT-H1 TIM and put a thermal diode on the ceramic casing near the NB chipset and put back the stock heatsink for the time being. My Zalman fan/temp controller was reporting the temps at around 40C~50c during some testing. Not sure if it was accurate, but at least it was giving me something. I bet with water-cooling, the temps would be ~ 6-10C lower. JAWAG AFAIC !! :D
(Just a wild ass guess as far as I'm concerned) ... :p:
So you stuck it onto the green substrate surrounding the NB? At what vMCH did you measure 40 - 50*C?
My Maximus II Formula idles around 40 - 45*C (depending on ambients) and full load is around 48 - 52*C depending on ambients at around 1.3 vNB.
There may be a little more headroom but moving from 1150 to 1175 and the errors just keep scaling.Quote:

hey guys, im using the UD3P, E8400 seems nice at 500x8.5
was wondering how your Bios Voltage settings coincide with what the ET6
says. ive noticed that a few of my settings, mainly CPU REF, MCH REF,
MCH DRAM REF show up as lower voltage in ET6 that what i set in bios.
is this a concern?
Hi,
I have the board for about 1 month now and I'm certainly happy with it. :) The only problem I have it is sleep mode when cpu is overcklocked. The computer won't just wake up after sleeping and restarts forever. Have anybody such a problem, and solutions for it ? :(
The board is UD3P CPU E8500, overcklocked 450 x 9.5. All voltages set to auto.
No fix as of yet. Lets hope for a bios soon.Quote:

Fourth bad board this year. I have well and truly had it with all this new stuff.
All, Looking for some help with an odd problem.
New system build which works great once everything warms up.
If it sits for more than 2 hours after being turned off then system fails and reboots multiple times before successfully booting and starting windows. Failures during the first few minutes can occur during POST, in BIOS, during Windows load....tends to go further and further each time.
Have run Memtest both warm and cold with similar behavior. When warm, no errors. When cold, errors for first 60-90 seconds and then no more after that. What's my best move?

@stasio , do you work for Gigabyte, thanks for the latest bios.
the boards rock...
Uh I found that it is not a myth ... my Reapers would not work in Dual-Channel. They would only work in single channel mode. At first, when I tried booting ... I thought the board was no good because I had just used those Reapers ... but it is this board and those OCZ PC2 8500 Reapers. Almost RMA'd my RAM as well ... :p:Quote:

they do work ... i try using 1066 ... but need to install with 1 ram ... go in Bios ... set timing and voltage ... then you can boot with 2 ram into window .. after that start tweaking ... i notiice that need to run 333 trap and 2.0 divider to start... but if use 800 .. might need to start with 266 ... good luckQuote:

yea im a little weary of its performance..because boards that run both ddr2 and ddr3 usually do a crappy job with both so we will have to see if some one does a review on it...but every one knows i7 is the cool thing to review now...so were seeQuote:

It would be sweet if they had an "Air Only" catigory for those of us who don't use LN2 or Dice...
But still want to burn up some ram... :woot:
Now it seems that Air is the Extreme because lots of people are able to use Monster Cooling...
Opps ~ just kidding :surf:

Why is the EP45-UD3R at F5 and the UD3P at F7 ?
As UD3P is top model,normally all testing and release first is for this board.
Somebody want to try UD3P-F6
Try lower MCH Ref to 0.70 will help you get more stable.Quote:
