Not sure if this is a problem with my board, or PSU or whatever.
But I've been putting off for some time now.
Whenever I stick my PC into sleep mode, waking up never happens properly.
I can move the mouse, click the keyboard, press the power button. The PSU will start up, but then stop, and keep doing this, continuously.
Does this happen to anyone else? Do I need a BIOS Update? / a setting changed?
Thanks!

That is normal behavior when you overclock. Turn it off and pay the extra money for your electric bill :lol:.

Are there any bugs for some FSB : DDR Ratio ?
I am trying to get around DDR2 1140-1150. What Strap / Raport do you recommand ? I recall i got DDR2 1140 some time ago but i don't remember the settings i've used and now i can't make it post with similar settings, i asume it's from the Strap / FSB DDR Ratio since the voltage is same (2.18-2.22V), Performance Level is not that tight (tried 10-12), MCH Core was enough i think. So ... ?
-
Just bought a 2nd hand EP45C-UD3R....really stoked. I used to have a P5Q Deluxe which I loved, then sold it and ended up getting a foxconn blackops which is not a bad board...but the NB cooling is a sack of fail and the X48 nb voltages are stupid high.. I really really really miss the P45 chipset....looking forward to some 500fsb+ stable clocks with 2ghz+ ram :D
Are the bios option on the EP45C-UD3R the same as it's EP45 and EP45T counterparts?
-
P45 is built on 65nm manufacturing process while X48 is 90nm, that is why voltages are different (higher on X48).
-
Yup I know that...only reason I bought the x48 board is because it was cheap and I needed it quickly. P45 boards in the UK are stupidly priced
-
What cpu termination do you call safe for dailly use? Is 1.46 too much? Need your answer. This is on a Q9550 @ 4250 + Gigabyte EP45-UD3P.
-
I find 1.46 FSB term too much for 24/7 use, but each will set his own green or safe zone... I would stick with sub 1.4... if that means a lower OC, so be it... there's not much difference anyway in a 4 or 4.2Ghz CPU anyway for daily usage... Question as always is , does it kill ya CPU ? who knows :p

Q6600 3.4 GHz overclocking bios settings EP45-UD3

Is it normal that in any BIOS the UD3P 'lags' the lower you scroll on the M.I.T screen? Especially on the RAM voltages the selecting and setting lags and I'm not talking short lags but up to a second to two?
I'm asking because I find it annoying and I can't seem to set any vDIMM above 2.16 without having the system not booting or being extremely unstable (have tried a mass of vMCH etc. settings to stabilize). The memory (4x1GB D9GMH) just won't run >DDR2-1150.
Thanks for the input.

The lag happens to me as wel, seems to be a BIOS glitch but it is ignorable as it isn't affecting anything. You are having issues because your memory reference isn't set right is my guess. My memory doesn't like anything over
.80 for it's reference voltage. This board is very tricky to get a handle on but, once you start feeling it out it becomes easier. Start with your base voltages, cpu voltage, mch voltage, memory voltage get that stable as can be,,,, then start back at the top with the CPU voltage reference, then MCH reference, then memory reference, then back up to the top and work your way down through the other references.
Each time you change one setting check for stability and find the best spot for the said voltage being tweaked then move on to the next. I have posted my settings here before and not much has changed for me setting wise since then so you can look for that post and try to go off of it losely, because every CPU is different. This board does not, like it's settings being set all at once I can tell you that. You have to go with the three base voltages then go from there one by one. It is the only way I was able to get mine stable. Hope that helps. I posted a video on youtube of my system / overclock, not that it will help you here with this issue but, I did a good job and would like to brag about it / show people my work :p:.

I'm thinking of picking up a new GA-EP45C-UD3R since I can't find any GA-EP45T-UD3R or P's available anywhere. And I don't want the UD3LR for home like I do work, the mobo cooling just isn't as good since it lacks some heatsinks. This will be to replace my Home PC mobo GA-EP45-UD3R. I'm finding the P45 DDR3 boards alot easier to overclock and it just feels more responsive than my DDR2 board. I'll take the my DDR2 board and either sell it or through all my spare parts together, by a new E6300 CPU and build the wife here own PC to use.

Plenty of fans, about 10, right ?
About my screens, I change the ram settings to 48, 5,5,15
Where is the option to save on a floppy the bios settings ?

I still haven't had a chance to overclock mine (:rofl:). I managed to get as far as getting the OS, drivers and AV installed, and that was it! I've just had too much going on at the homestead.
Now I've gone and bought a P55 UD4P!

I believe it is F11 key to save settings and F12 to load them.

My old EP45T-UD3R's VRM's fried recently, got a replacement plus a new Q9650 :) Not the best VID as you can see from the pic below, but still a decent clocker, and stays cool on my old trusty true. (sold my old watercooling loop to get this chip).

how @ 467FSB you only need 1.200 vNB?
-
anyone know of which waterblocks will fit the mosfets, NB, and SB? it looks like EK NB/SB 5 and S-MAX will fit the NB, and EK NB/SB 1 will fit the SB. can anyone confirm this? what about the mosfets?

I don't know mate, anything above that and it just makes the CPU more unstable :shrug: of course at higher clocks i will need more. But it's always good to find the sweet spot for MCH voltage at a given clock :up: At 475FSB 1.22v is the sweet spot for me.
P45 & 45nm tends to need less MCH voltage anyway. Either that or i've got an awesome board :shocked:

I think it is the latter of the two, you received a good board.
-
Most probably it is my board. I was able to pass 8hours of blend at 450x9 with 1.10vnb :)
Just a little quick test:
http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...Untitled-1.png
That's with a single 4890 @ 1000/1200 clocks. (have to put fan to 100% to be able to pass)
Isit just me, or is running small prime with LLC enabled irrevelant? I was able to run it for an hour with the vcore i'm able to boot windows at. But when i run large FFT's it fails almost immediately until i raise vcore (raising MCH or VTT didn't make any difference). I found large FFT's the best test for CPU stability, if that makes sense.
-
Oztopher, did you buy a replacment or was it an RMA? I can't seem to find any new GA-EP45T-UD3R or UD3p that aren't way overpriced. I've noticed that my P45 DDR3 boards needs alot less volts for VTT and MCH than my P45 DDR2 board, especially with 2x2 GB RAM and 500 FSB. vCore and Ref volts seem to be the same.
-
I managed to obtain what i wanted with 3 : 5 FSB : DDR Ratio. Was not this a suposed FSB : DDR bug ? Has P45 chipset (regardless if it's on gigabyte or other manufacturer) any FSB : DDR Ratio BUG ?
-
Yeah 3:5 is supposed to be bugged, I think it really comes out to be 2:3.
-
Hi bluestang, i got my board from ocuk as a b grade. Had same experience as you, couldn't find the damn board anywhere ! It was slightly overpriced at £136, and could've got a DDR2 UD3P for £110 at scan, but i was looking forward too much to clock my RAM. Not like i was short of money either...
Haven't had any experience with the DDR2 boards so i couldn't say whether or not these clock at lower volts. But i just found out the reason why i was able to get my MCH so low, it's because i had MCH ref set to 0.80 (easytune)... When i put it back to 0.760 i could go higher on the voltage (1.24v for 467fsb instead of 1.20) and get a bit lower on my vcore.
-
is 1.34 MCH Core a little high for 475FSB or it is normal? I'm also using 0.800 MCH Ref, I can pass prime95 fine @ 1.32v MCH Core but I has getting some crashes with games and after I bump the MCH to 1.34v no crashes.
Q9550
EP45-UD3R F11
-
Phsinc1, what strap and static tread value are you using?
-
-
Hmm would think you could get lower on MCH core with that loose strap and high PL. Though i've never tried the D strap so i couldn't say for sure. You should try use the 2.00B strap and PL8 if you haven't already, that seems standard for that FSB, and if you need more MCH to get that stable then quite frankly you haven't got the best of boards :(
Also, what prime95 test are you running? i'm guessing blend?
-
Yes prime blend stable 12h, do you think I should try 2.00B?
-
I wouldn't see why not, you SHOULD be able to get it stable with that strap, i was using it at 500FSB. Although i have the DDR3 ver so it could be quite different. I think you should wait for someone else to chime in who has the DDR2 board.
-
I am running my MCH core voltage at 1.48. I do not want to hear whining about how high your voltage is :p: Kidding. Seriously though, if it is running cool then run it at that voltage. If it isn't running cool, stick a fan on it. You should use what ever voltage you need to get everything stable period. I think I have the most :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty motherboard here but mine is running my Q9550 at 4.2GHz 24 / 7 so I am happy.
I have a fan directly blowing on my north bridge and my memory and everything is nice and cool at that voltage so.. I highly suggest putting a fan on the mosfets above the CPU as well. I seen a person post that their board died because their mosfets took a dump on them and this is probably why.. I touched mine the other day after benching and shutting mine down and if it was just a tiny bit hotter it would have blistered my finger no doubt about it. After putting a fan on them as well, they are nice and cool like they should be. Hope this helps.
-
Even on mobo's chipsets, there is low and high vid :D
I remember on my old UD3P, I needed 1.30v, this UD3R needs 1.34v same settings.
-
My mofsets fried on my old board as well, the ones under the smaller heatsink. It was either from too much intel burn test, or because i had watercooling so there wasn't much airflow over the components around the CPU... or most probably a combination of both :P

Exactly, the ones right above the CPU. I could totaly picture mine going out in a month or so if I hadn't caught the fact that they were scolding hot and put a fan on them. They are cool now after benching. It drops your CPU Load temps as well about 5 or 6C with a fan on them.
-
Ahh i might have to think about doing that then. Although i have dual 1800rpm fans on my TRUE and a 250mm fan at the top of my antec 900, so hopefully theres enough airflow over them.
I tried to RMA my old board but unfortunately it got rejected by scan. But because of their decent customer service they offered to send it off to gigabyte to get a replacement or repair on my behalf, nothing guaranteed though. Still waiting for news from them.
Here's a (crap) pic:

They have to fix that man. That is not your fault, that is their fault for not thinking about better cooling for them.
-
Yeah they should do, hopefully. If so will mean i can sell it off as new :D extra monies

This has been happening to 1366 boards as well. Seems to me like who ever makes these Mosfets has put out a ton of bad ones.

Has anyone found a solution to booting from USB flash drives? Been trying to boot into a confirmed working Win7 installer on my 8GB flash drive. Tried all sorts of things and can't get it to work, I get a "Disk Read error, press CTRL-ALT-Del to restart" error. Thoughts?
-
so what bios does everyone think is the best for the UD3P rev1.0?
im still on F4 but the raid load screen is so slow.is it fixed in later bios's?
-
The later bios definitely load faster than F4. I use a modded F10b with AHCI 1.20E but its probably no faster than the regular version.
-
where do you get the modded F10b at?
i downloaded the one from tweaktown
but it doesnt say anything about being
modded,just F10b

I couldn't get mine stable no matter what I tried at 500. I am stuck @ 495 x 8.5 memory running at 1188MHz. I just tried this last night by the way. After trying it I had to retweak my original GTL settings to get them to act stable again. I had to adjust my gtl settings on my CPU up a couple of notches showing the motherboard I was close to the right setting then back it back down to the original setting and then it started acting stable again. This board is weird how it acts but, whatever. Maybe this is normal behavior and I just have never payed attention to it before. Hope this helps you some how.

Your running the LV's @ 2.0v? I thought they didn't like being overvolted passed stk 1.80v?
-
anybody got any user opinions on the one level lower motherboard - by
Gigabyte...the UD3L?????
Does it even hold a candle to the UD3R or UD3P????
fsb-wise or are the tweaks in the bios way more limited...
Cause I got an opportunity to get one for free....that's the only reason....and no the UD3R or 3P isn't available...
should I take it????
Thanks :up::up: :up:

Actually I bumped mine up to 2.10 and I'm running the memory reference at .80. When I set my voltage for them to 1.80 my PC won't boot. I think it has something directly to do with the fact that the board sets the wrong reference for the memory thus leading to instability when set to 1.80. I could probably get them to run at 1.80 by messing with the reference voltage enough but, I was able to get them stable where I have them so, I don't care to much. Plus I have a pretty powerful fan blowing on them and the north bridge making everything run really cool so, I don't think I have to worry about it so much.

There's no cooling on the mosfets like the P and R, and there is only a 4-pin CPU power connection like the P and R. BIOS doesn't have as many options, but still overclockable...look at my WorkPC in my sig. It's @ 500 fsb, although it's the DDR3 version. For free give it a whirl :D

This rig:
GigaByte GA-EP45-UD3R BIOS:F9 (Is there a better BIOS for OC?)
E5200 2.6GHz@3.96GHz (50% OC)
4GB (2 x 2GB) OCZ Flex 6-6-6-18@2.2V (OCZ2FXE1200GK) on air
850Watt Antec Quattro PSU (TPQ-850)
CPU Temps: 60C-65C under LinX - Water cooled CPU.
Thanks for any help

Try to change the Ref, set your CPU Termination to 1.200, then set CPU Ref to .785 and MCH Ref to .800. Then bump up the CPU Termination to 1.360. Ref are linked with the CPU Termination.
Some have tried the F11 bios and found it is less stable compared to F9. Most are using F9

for free...definitely it's an exchange for an experimental p4i65gv (i know= :yawn::yawn::yawn:) but i had to get something and the credit is only good at this store..
my othe4r two options were these:
Asus P5Q
ASUS P5QL-EM
Asus P5E-VM HDMI
Asus P5KPL-CM
ASUS P5QL-PRO
THE ONLY one that even comes close is the p5q although i hear it has 8 gear switching - if that's important...but i don't like AMI BIOS...
or is p5Q the better board??? (it's a temporary replacement for a t2rsb - the sata has gone)
thanks
the rest are g43 and g31
or should i just stick withe the original UD3L p45 by Gigabyte
you guys seem to swear by Gigabyte so i figured.......:shrug::shrug::shrug:
Thanks
edit: i just noticed it has better looking nb cooling, takes an 8 pin cpu power and supports RAID and DDR2 1200.....hmmm could that possibly mean better, although it's 10.00 more.....someone i know on the internet has one with a q9550 and he says it's good
although, i guess this is the gigabyte thread..... keep in mind though, it's only cause it's for free
again, thanks for your understanding..

Why LLC is bad

Does this happen to anyone else? Do I need a BIOS Update? / a setting changed?
S3 stops working at certain OC settings. Use S1 intead. It's really a shame that these great motherboards don't have a working S3 standby.
-
It's now 2009, not 2007. The LLC game has changed since then. JMHO.
-
your right.these new boards have much better power delivery systems.
those test were done when they first implemented LLC i think.
-
-
i honestly dont think usin llc is bad
especially today lol
you cant compare this board to any of the pos gigabut boards that came before it
-
yea you think if it was as bad as anandtech
made it out to be we would have had proof by now.
MB being recalled and revised PWM's thousands of
dead 45nm cpu's
-
Maybe it's not a problem, but you can't use not dead CPUs argument because so little time has passed. Maybe the effects will not be seen until a couple of years of CPU use. You can argue that it's not a problem for you since you'll change your CPU long before that, but that doesn't mean it couldn't possibly affect CPU's life.
-
well yea but OCing will do that on its own too.
some people think that if you turn on LLC
your cpu will die right away because of this
article.
-
Depends on the OC :)
As for the other thing, well, that's just silly :)

llc or not overclocking will take a toll
in the old days i've seen some cpus last days @ 4.0 n some months my antic p4 is still alive and was @ 4.0 for most of its life and its in my daughters pc now
worst case i see is that a cpu dies or it will run only stock
only real degredation i have seen is with high pll voltage ;)
-
might be silly but why do we have so many asking
is it ok to use LLC?i heard it was bad and might damage my cpu

the way i see it better to use llc then not
why should my cpu get 1.38v just to get 1.33
if i had a cheap ass board i wouldnt use it :rofl:
-
I don't know whats worse, LLC enabled and having to put up with supposed miniture spikes which software doesn't detect, or having it disabled and making your CPU sip on high idle voltage :shrug:

Running 9800GTX in SLI on a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P
-
Ghostleader, That IS cool. Huge difference. Thanks for share.
-
Guys , anyone tried the EP45-Extreme? I'm using the UD3R and I want a CF alternative mobo which will OC same as ud3r/p and I can't find the ud3p here.
-
hi! i'm new to gigabyte..
got my EP45-UD3R a couple of days ago an im already starting to love it!
i was just wondering... i got some strange issues with tRD.
cant seem to set it right; its like this:
whenever i set 9 in both channels and restart i find that when i load back the bios the mainboard is actually setting 11 or sometimes (depending on the strap) 10.
i guess its just that there is something odd with this bios ver.
MemSet wont even recognize tRD in this board.. thats odd too!
on the other hand, thanks andressergio!
got the rig stable a 500x8.
im now at the point where the fun begins :up:
i'll post some screenies next time i get a chance to.
it's time to lower some volts on this setup!
cheers!
