Anyone know how to solve the problem between the Strap 2:40 and MCH Volt above 1.440? I really like this strap but to not be able to raise the MCH voltage is just a pain.
Finally started to play with this board again but can't find anything on the volts measuring points, wanna take multimeter reading to calculate the references %.
Anyone wanna share this info? Maybe older Gigabyte boards share the same spots for vcore, vmch, vdimm etc?
i would like to know that too.also does anyone know whats the optimal way to set my pagefile system when using 8 gigs of ram?im not very well versed in the software side of things,but from what ive readthe paging file is space used on the harddrive as if it were ram, right. so if i have all this extra(task manager shows 1.34gigs being used)wouldnt it be better for my system to use the ram instead of the harddrive?isnt the ram faster?or do i have this all wrong? someone here must know this kind of stuff,i surely could use some advice on this issue. thank you

It's for the UD3R but will do.
:lol: was just about to give you link them i saw ^^^^^^^ :rofl:Quote:

Hi Guys,
Decided to bench on AIR with a normal priced air cooler (below$35) to keep peoples hopes up on this amazing cpu.
All low volts for people that want 24/7 use: 1.376vcore, 1.400vtt, 1.57pll, 1.40vnb, 1.20vsb (except ram that I needed more juice to keep tight timings and 5:6 strap).

Hi amwhitey,
The bios settings for these clocks are in the links below, for the ud3R, may give you a guide:-
E8600 4,160 8x520@2B 1,040Mhz 5-5-5-14
E8600 4,260 8x533@2B 1.066Mhz 5-5-5-14
luck:up:
I was able to run my Q9650 with the Xig direct touch at 4.5 @ 503 FSB and it was grerat, bvery stable, I never ran 11 hours of that stuff, but did all the futuremark stuff, and played a lot of games, I love this board adn CPU.... Q9650 and GIG UD3P :surf:
Thanks Supershanks for the settings. I'll give those a try and see what happens.
Jor3lBR,
i just took a peek at your bios setting (above) again, it seems to me that your DRAM setting is might be too tight?
did you try setting memory timing differently to see if you can lower the DIMM voltage down to may be 2.1-2.2v?
i don't have a Q9650 and the ram kit, or i would check it out myself, i'm just wondering is this overclock really need to use 2.3v on the dimms?
Yes it does if you want to use the 2:40 strap. Max Vmch that strap offers is 1.40vmch.Quote:

I would try PL7 1:1 strap latter to see if there is a big loss.
My OC testing begins isolation any ram errors, Config BIOS > Memtest DOS 2 passes > Memtest windows 150% > then I go to small fft's 8k and 10k if passes I will blend it above 3hrs.
Anything less on the Ram would give Memtest #7 errors. I will play with the other options too and see if I can discover anything else. Today I lowered the DRAM Terminations and References to below 50% a bit and could reduce vdimm a bit.
But if you have a 120mm fan you will be good till 2.4vdimm (probably 2.35 real).
you probably need to use more NB volts. i'm sure 2.3-2.35v is fine for the kit, but like i said i'm really wondering why it has to be this high.
for the DRAM settings itself, if you willing to try something new, there are a few different settings to try.
but since i don't have the hardware (especially the GSkill 9600 PI kit) i’ll have to let you discover them.
i would say try using XMP profile and leave the 2nd/3rd timings in the Advanced settings to Auto, don't set the Drive Strength Profile, diable the DDR Write Training on both Ch A & B
and then also try setting the Extreme Memory Profile to Auto, but set all timings manually in the bios.
i still use 700mv/700mv at the Advanced Clock Controls for my 500fsb, no Clock Skews settings everywhere, but my CPU is Q9300
2.3-2.35v in BIOS is not real panging as I said I got Digital Multimeter here that shows my Ram below 2.26v.Quote:

If you put MCH voltage above 1.440 results in a no post condition...
Yes I just discovered that lowering the Dram Refs and Termination will allow you to lower Vdimm, I'll try few things you suggested too. :up: Thanks.
