I just had a really good look at a High RES photo of this Mobo and its sure one ugly f00ker, had a bad layout and looking at build quality which is basic with some parts cooled by non heatpipes and only push pins holding the sinks you wonder how the hell it clocks so far better than the Asus ROG's which look good and are built well with every part heatpiped cooled and all screwed down

After I got the board, I certainly wasn't attracted to the colour scheme (if that exists), but the build quality is far better imo. Ok, so it has a lot less features, but if you look closely enough, you can see that the placement of the SMDs look more accurate, and the solder has a nicer shine to it than my MIIF did. The heatsinks around the board may seem somewhat flimsy with push-pins etc, but it actually makes a much more solid contact with the parts, in particular the mosfets. After removing the heatsink (which I had to gently pull and peel away),the indentations on the thermal pads were consistent and covered all of the devices. The MIIF is quite tricky because you can't easily see if it's making good contact, and it's assembly is often skewed or simply doesn't match the board - it's a good idea, but cumbersome and too much to go wrong imo.

I have the EP45-UD3P rev 1.6 with a Q6600 (for now) and I can run linX with no probs, but sometimes on cold boot I get a double boot. Anybody got a idea on how to fix this it getting me pissed off lol.

Happy Holidays to you radaja :up:

So here I am at those settings above and while I'm stable with the "standard" burn test, going up to the "high" which is the max I can do because it uses all my RAM. I'm getting :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty times and GFlops. I tried upping VTT, MCH and vcore and NOTHING seems to help!!

If I run the standard test I get about 17s with 51GFlops, with the High test it's like 80 seconds with 35-37GFlops which should be around 55.

What do you suggest I do???

I can help you with this one my friend. You need to make sure your MCH Ref Voltage is perfectly centered or, happy. Then you need to work your CPU Ref up and down until it settles where it likes and it takes a couple of times to get it just right.

You should be able to watch your temps level out and reach the highest levels you have seen when you get it centered just right while under load. You will also notice that your temps while under load don't bounce around as much also when you have it just right. Also your temps while coming down from a load from testing, will go down faster right before the load hits it again then it should shoot right back up nice and level on all cores. Mine does the exact same thing but, I have mastered getting it to sit just right.

You will also notice if you are anal like me with things that if you test it while it is cold from sitting turned off all night that if you don't have it just right it will mess up at first when testing it right away after boot. If you have it set just right 100% you will hit those nice even high temps after first booting it up and testing it, which in turn equals those nice high GFlops as well.

P.S. If you have it set wrong a little you will also notice that some of the test will pass "utilizing lower amounts memory" but, the higher amount of memory test will fail that just means you have more tweaking to do. If you bounce the CPU ref up and down you will find the center point that is just right, it just takes patience.

I will let mine do a couple of small test and if it is good I will let it run until it frees up some space to where I should have about 3500MB~ of free memory and I will stop the test and run the higher memory test to see if it gets through it as well. This process saves allot of time IMO.

Thank you for the help, I completely understand where you're coming from and that idea. :up: :wave:

I'm curious as to what the temps are of all your cores under idle and load. Could you tell me?

thx bro..im still tweak for it..just wanna to comfirm what will be max safe voltage for vtt and vmch that we can put to run 24/7?coz right now im running 1.34v for vtt and 1.38v vmch..izzit safe for running 24/7?the vdrop oso quite large..set in bios 1.4v when load its 1.36v

Yes that vDrop is normal I believe, that's what I get on my board with Load Line Calibration enabled.

I've heard you don't want to go over 1.44 for the vtt. The vmch on the other hand can take as much as you can throw at it with enough cooling. Mine's at 1.46 right now down from 1.50 cause I found I didn't need that much. Still tweaking so I might get it to come down more. My vtt is 1.36 right now as well.

ic..mean my vtt,vmch still in safe volt to run 24/7..erm u stress them using linX?or blend it using sp2004 to see both ram and proc stable?hows bout the idle and load temp?

If you use Linx or Intelburntest, you can get your system stable faster then including Prime95 in the mix. If you get everything 100% stable with Intelburntest or LinX then, you should be able to run your Prime95 for 24hrs without a hitch.

linX or IBT only stress for the proc right?yeah i know it will be faster way to know wether the proc stable or not compared to prime95..but even u passed the linX or IBT its still not sure yet u can survive blend proc,ram using prime95..if running small ftt yeap no prob u can pass it..saw your setup almost like mine..mind to share the bios setting?coz you running lower vcore 1.31v to run 4.12ghz compared to me 1.36v for 4ghz(500x8)

After a few days of testing with the new board I finally have a decent baseline to work with. I still need to transfer over my nb water block to this board and hopefully it will let me drop some mch voltage.

very nice hoss. Which memory modules are those? I have OCZ Platinum 1800MHz CL8 and can't run those low timings :(

This is my 24/7 clock. Worst E8400 I've ever had :mad:

MCH REF = 0.861 for a 1.46 MCH core

Still at 150/150 CPU/MCH skew. Haven't played with the vcore yet, I'm sure I can get it lower than 1.3 for 4GHz.

Hi Guys

Came over here and robbed these settings as a start point to get my x3350 crunching but I topped out at 8*480 (ud3r with ddr3). I need a heap of cpu core voltage (1.45) to stay stable but am thinking it may just be because this cpu is just an es version of the 9450.

Does anyone think it is worth spending the time to get this right or should I settle for a lesser clock (3.6) which I can get at around 1.36v...bear in mind this will have to run 24/7

Which is the best revision in terms of performance and stability when OCing for the DDR2 UD3P/R?

Can someone share the bios template for ocing UD3P version 1.1 with Q9550 @ 500x8.5 and OCZ Reaper PC9200 running @ 2.00D?

Recently I used 10j bios and priming blend beautifuly for 20 hours and suddenly I've got error after that :brick:

My major goal is simple: achieve 4.25Ghz primeable.

TIA, folks.

Besides for that my guess would have to be either your MCH is off ref wise a little, or your memory is off a little.. That is about all I can think of besides for the settings in Windows or maybe something is dieing.. I've had this issue when settings were off a little in the BIOS so I think it is that TBH.

Been away for a while, tending to xmas events and the like. During this I tried to lower voltages on my 500x9 profile, but have been having a little trouble getting the CPU 500fsb stable again, as it's not even passing the 8K FFT test on the 4th core now. My biggest concern is degradation after going for some of those HWbot rankings, although further adjustment of vtt, refs and skews have helped me get stable again but they're different from my previous stable settings which has baffled me.

Has anyone experienced this kind of behaviour? I'm 90% certain I've been using the same bios as before, but in case I'm wrong could anyone confirm if they've needed different skew/ref/vtt settings amongst different bios versions?

*edit: the settings I got to failed at 12Kfft test - starting to get a little concerned now - hope I haven't damaged it - it's still good @ stock though...

Its essentially the same as the DDR2 version just with a few extra bios options for the DDR3. It is definitely more picky on the settings it likes to run so im having to relearn this setup.

Hey Hoss,

True but I'm keeping things separate. The REX is with Duo's and the bench station with Quads (EP45, EP45T, EP45-Extreme).

I have the boards problem is time to set them all up (the EP45T arrives on the 30th). The only ddr3 ram I have is D9GTR so I have to give it a go. When possible send your bios template. :-)

I will try to do that till next Friday.

Hey everyone I have a UD3R and E8400. I had the cpu stable at 3.8Ghz and decided to update the bios today to F11. I re-entered all my previous stable settings in and now it restarts right before windows loads. What is the best current bios at this time so I can reflash and maybe have better luck.
12-28-2009, 04:44 PM
Hoss331

You cant just reenter your oc settings right after flashing on that bios. You need to load optimized settings first, let it update and boot, then you can restart and load your oc settings.
12-28-2009, 04:58 PM

Thanks Hoss331. That was my exact problem. I am now back up and running at 3.8Ghz.

Uh, uh, I hope your CPU is fine! If it isn't, mine could have degraded too. I used my Q9650 at 1,6VTT and 1,55Vcore to bench at 9x515 at the MIIF :rofl: As you already know, it needs insane volts to be able to bench at those clocks. :shakes: Let me know how it goes! Hope you can get it figured out.

Is S3 bug still present in latest BIOS versions?

How come Gigabyte boards don't lower Vcore when idle (when overclocked)? Do P55 and X58 boards also have fixed voltages?

I was going to buy Gigabyte again for my next build, but those two issues really annoy me :(

ok im back after doing a nice case cleanup looks really hot and a nice cooling system , advanced my my wc and made in silent and 8 c cooler at 48 c load stable, you guys and Hoss331 helped me lock my system at 4050 at 4 4 4 10 and its been great
so i wanna tweak a lil bit should i update my bios from f8 and try that power saving stuff or should I find some new ram that can do 9 x 500 and hit 4500
or does neither matter and just run system another year without a upgrade to bios or ram :up: you guys got me jealous with all this tweaking , and with a lil more oc I could justify not upgrading to i9

One thing I've noticed about overclockers especially old school. We look at everything a little deeply. Because with UD39 its so easy to overclock a ...ok I won't say it.

Simply, think basic when you touch this virgin. Keep it simple

Hope you can get it figured out.

Well, after much messing around, I think it's down to mosfets overheating. Even though my house fan is pointing straight at the board, leaving it off overnight and running a test at 500x9 small ffts runs for about 10 minutes before the 4th core fails, but doesnt last much longer, no matter what the vcore is (with reasonable, and above previously stable volts for that speed). Then I tried it again immediately after, and it fails within seconds.
500x8.5 works fine at the same settings, yet the CPU temps remain about the same as 500x9, so I'm hoping that this is a sign that the CPU hasn't degraded too badly, but then again, not being able to reach the same speeds at the same settings is still a growing concern.
The mosfet sinks are too hot to touch during testing (the ones nearest the i/o backplate in particular), so I've gotta rip out the board and re-seat the sinks, or try to figure out a better solution. I'm really looking out for some mosfet waterblocks now, but I've only seen one rather unsatisfactory solution, but with a 12" house fan on it you'd think it would be enough.
I've still got some family errands to run over the next few days, but rebiulding and testing will resume and I'll hopefully resolve the issue. If not, I'll have to settle for some lower speeds.

Are you sure its not just cpu temps causing the errors, mid 70s is pretty warm to be priming at 4.5.

I just recently installed a UD3R (WAITING ON A QUAD CHIP) with my old E8600 (500x7=3.5 ghz) and noticed the Northbridge "Gigabyte" Heatsink is hot to the touch, even though there appears to be no way to monitor this like on the X48...

do you think that's normal when you got the fsb at 500 and the MCH at 1.36 in order to do so, or should the MCH be much lower????

Cause all i know is 500 took at least 1.36 to 1.4 on the T2RsB plus...

I put my spare Dominator fan blowing on it (5000rpm)..... will this be sufficient??? or do Gigabyte Northbridges normally run hot cause of the high fsb attainable on them....
that's all thanks

edit: ps i don't remember the X48 T2RSB Plus Northbridge heatsink getting this hot , just warm

From my experience on the UD3P and so others IF CPU temp heats 75 constant (cores are around 70+) for a long time will lead to errors...if you can lower temps it'll pass

I have mine at 4.2 now. It's fine once you stick a little fan on the ones right above the CPU. If you don't have one on yours and you do benching I'm willing to bet yours get hot as well or if not to bad right now, then when you start reaching 4.8GHz I bet they do. I posted my settings a page back. Here are my settings again since this is a new page and probably every one will miss them.

It passed fine on the 8.5 multi, and the temps are pretty much the same (in fact they went higher than 9x test because it lasted longer). All settings were identical on both tests. I did notice that one of my mosfet sinks was a little wobbly, so I'm hoping another stab at remounting them shortly might help, but from what I can gather it's one of two things - mosfets overheating, or CPU degradation. One thing I do know is that the mosfets do get too hot for comfort during prime.

I should probably correct my last statement for the record... 8.5 multi did run at lower temps but for some reason it ran hotter on one particular run :confused:

I'm gonna get the board out and go over it with a fine-toothed comb. I'm trying to think of some better solution to mosfet cooling, but without a decent number of fan headers (and no room for a drive-bay fan controller), I could get stuck unless I go for some thermalright sinks, or if I go for some waterblocks I just found. Bit risky if the board is flaky though...

Probably just because your reference settings are off a little CPU or MCH. If your settings are off some times it will run hotter then it really should and it is kind of a rare thing to witness, for me it has been far and between.. Usually if my CPU Ref is off by being one step to high is when it happens actually I think.

The board isn't flaky I think the Mosfets that they used were not really the best choice chip wise but your board is probably fine.

The multi is not the issue, its the cpu speed, the higher you go the more sensitive it becomes to core temps. The 8.5 only gives you 4.25ghz so its obviously going to be far easier to pass than 4.5 and be less sensitive to the heat.

I just noticed today when using a cpu fan on the fan header that there is a delay before the cpu fan starts. Its like a second before the fan starts then it runs slowly and when the board beeps the fan comes on full speed.
I have cpu fan function disabled.

Is this normal?? seems odd:shrug:

Yes I did :up: The memory will start throwing errors when it is off so it is a little more time consuming getting those settings just right. More like find the out side points where it starts erroring out and then hit the middle point and see how it acts.

my board doesnt have the same dividers as the ud3p on various straps.

266 strap = 4:5, 2:3, 1:2
200 strap = 3:4, 3:5, 1:2
333 strap = 1:1, 5:6, 5:8, 1:2
400 strap = 1:1, 3:4, 3:5

which is the best for high everest bandwidth numbers and is 1333 memory 500 fsb on 3:4 divider 400 strap with a quad a pipe dream without active cooling on the nb?

my best everest bandwidth results so far right here:

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...=239757&page=3

edit: im also considering trying 266 strap 2:3 divider, is that divider+strap likely to be bugged or ok with my board?

I wanna thank you all for continuing to recomend this board, it is as good as you say it is.....

just wondering now whether to exchange this q9400 for a q9550 and pay the difference or keep it... but either way 4.0ghz=4 cores should be a piece of cake

Enable Load Line and that will cure some droop, unless you already have done that then cool. I think what voltages you have to use depends on the chipset fate dealt you. In other words if that is what it takes to keep it stable then stay at those settings.

You just have to keep everything cool and you will be fine. Check my post with my settings for 4.2GHz, I'm running this 24/7 have been for awhile now..

speaking of which, i just did a little minor tweaking and got 4.2 ghz stable so far, although photobucket and firefox crashed once - maynot be related but there you go.....

no bluescreens yet, just that first time when i forgot all about vtt

although this is a bit high, i personaly wouldn't run it at this around the clock, just for benchmarking, 4.0 is fine

I totally see where you're coming from. After a bit of a cleanup, and mounting the original heatsinks (except NB) and I've had a little more success, but I'm still fighting with temps, and can't really keep any lower than 71°C on the first core... the other three are about 6°C lower, with the 4th core (which runs at the 3rd lowest temp) being the weakest. 0.785 CPU ref (with 1.36vtt) seems to give me the best results, but at 0.760 the 4th core then becomes more stable, but the 1st and 3rd fail quicker. Changing vtt up or down a few notches and testing higheror lower refs also didn't seem to help much.

I reckon I've probably scorched this chip a bit, although it's own temps were reasonable, and rarely got into majorly dangerous zones, I did run very high pll & vtt a couple of times for benching/max fsb and CPU speed. Getting it stable at this speed is definitely not as easy as before. I've stuck with 1000/1000/0/50 in the drive/skew section, but I'm getting quite a few BSODs on shutdown, and sometimes within 2 minutes of booting as well...One of my HDDs are old so it may need replacing.

I'll post up my previously stable settings at 500x9, and wil be open to further advice, but I'm not holding a lot of hope in getting it back to the way it was and might have to back down to something like 4.4 now :( I guess that's still half-decent.

im just a little cautious with mch voltage because my last board(ga-p35-ds3p)somehow degraded very quickly with +0.2v mch, went from being capable of 1280 memory speed to incapable of 1000 in a matter of minutes. freak accident, temps or p35 chipset cant handle as much volts? i think the default mch voltage for that board was 1.2 while my current board definitaly defaults to 1.1v. anyone able to to do performance level 6 beyond 400fsb? im thinking of trying some benching with really tight timings, 8x425fsb 1133 4-4-4-12 pl6 200 strap 3:4. apparently defaults to pl6 at 333 fsb 200 strap 3:4 4-4-4-12 so just have to raise mch to 1.3v dram to 2.35 or 2.4v and just raise the fsb with setfsb correct? higher vtt than default 1.2 shouldnt be required at 425 fsb. i would use easytune6 but it raises fsb 11 at a time :/

If you put a good fan blowing on your nb you should have no problems. I ran 1.46v MCH with my q9650 for months, using the same exact settings Sergio is using. I took the blue gigabyte cover off and had a fan blowing on the nb hs.

Finally got my nb block switched over to this board and went back through my 4.5 settings to settle on these, for now. :)

Great overclock Hoss331.:up: What DDR3 kit are u using?

Damn, those EP45T's really seem to play along nicely with quads too Hoss331, and that vcore is astounding! If I knew a little sooner I would have probably gone for one of these and avoided all the hassle I've had with getting a decent set of DDR2. Since mid-november I've been waiting on nearly £200 worth of refunds from a DOA kit and a pair of mislabelled dominator GTs :mad:

I backed down to 490x9 last night and CPU was stable with 1.40625 vcore (1.36 in CPU-z), so whatever damage I might have done, it doesn't seem too drastic. Just nudging up to 495x9 now, and I'm getting errors about 12 minutes into small ffts which I think is a good point to properly tune the refs and vtt as I've not been 100% on these.
I've gone about finding stability using my knowledge from the MIIF, which has got me a fair bit of success, but I would like to hear a summary of some of your methods in case I'm missing anything if anyone is willing to oblige?

So your GT's were not really GT's ?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...d=8&subcat=817

Corsair are stupid (after my RMA anyhow), they shouldn't have made the GT's 1066 but 1200 at least, just as stupid as that new fast Voyager GT that claim is only bottlenecked by USB2.0, so why the hell not make it USB 3.0 now or wait a while.

No, I assume they were, but they were labelled 1.65v and scan had them rated at 2.1v. There's no info on Corsair's site but on their forums they stated 2.1v too. At the time, my MIIF vDimm only went as low as 1.8v and at 2.1v they threw out tons of errors. For a £120 4GB kit I expected a lot more performance and suport, particularly as these were supposed to be their 'flagship' category, but that appeared to only apply to the DDR3 range. Once again, I wa suckered in by the fancy looks & packaging. They might perform a lot better on this board, but I never got the chance, mind you, as I'm still waiting for a refund, I'm tempted to ask for the kit back to see if lower volts help more..
Here was what I reported on them at the time...

I've just been testing how much mch I need for 495x9 and I'm down to 1.24v (and testing at 1.22). Once I went below 1.26v I had to raise MCH ref to 0.84 (using ET6) to pass 1024k fft. I know there's more testing needed, but it's helped me tune & learn a little more, plus it won't hurt temps!

To anyone

I've been thinking of trying out a GA45T-UD3P and some ddr3 but hardly anyone is stocking them. You think Gigabyte may be coming out with a new revision or just dumping it?

I found a few v1.0 on ebay but if their going to put out a new one I should wait.
