Ballistix 8500s D9s work just fine for me. Board is 100% stock, air cooling. Mem is 2.40V set in BIOS (haven't measured real).Quote:

Then I don't have any more ideas that the heck could be wrong... Damn and I can't even get over 490 stable for AT LEAST super pi:mad:
BUMP! Anyone playing with a DMM out there?Quote:

IIRC, the 266 strap was OK for me at 500FSB too, but booting at 500.Quote:

That might be what you need. Also try all 3 Performance Enhance settings too if a boot fails, especially if it starts booting and then crashes. Turbo or Extreme might work where Standard doesn't and vice versa.
im pretty happy with this board.finally able to run my cellshocks @1200http://i34.tinypic.com/16abipc.jpg

I've also finally been able to run my Kingston HyperX PC2-9200 at 500fsb DDR2-1200 5/6 divider as well... something I wasn't able to do on my other boards.Quote:

So far, I've pretty much left everything on AUTO for the higher FSB stuff, so the 600+ are with the usual 1.85 PLL, 1.60Vtt. PLL seems like it doesn't need to be anywhere near that high though, even for 600FSB. If you're really going to be running in the 450-550FSB range, they can definitely be brought down a good amount. Only way to find out how much, is by lowering and testing.Quote:

This is prime blend stable, people with quads, this should help with your settings.

SPi's are pretty tough higher up for some reason. Like you, no amount of voltage increase or decrease anywhere seems to fix it past a point (FSB), but my point seems a bit higher. 600FSB+ I can't even get an 8M clean, but 1M will go at 650-660. Here's hoping it will still do that or higher at 10x multi on LN2 :up:Quote:

FSB doesnt go over 480 stable (SuperPI stable!!)
If it doesn't "go over 480 stable", it still sounds like you are booting below 480 and clocking up. Have you tried booting AT 500FSB like I suggested? PLL, VTT and MCH Ref are all different if I boot at 450FSB and it's impossible to even boot there with certain ratios. 2.40B won't even POST @ 450FSB no matter what I try.Quote:

I just ran this, not even 5 min. ago. I purposely left the mem and everything at their boot deafults...just boot and run 32M with no adjustments. You might need slightly different voltages, but even this 2.30V is overkill for my sticks here and if your proc can't run 4.5GHz, just use a lower multi.

These are the EXACT settings I booted and ran that 32M with. If it's not listed in here (ie. Advanced mem, ICH voltage, etc.), I didn't touch a thing from defaults. This a template from the EP45-Extreme, so some names/defaults might be listed different. I changed the ones I remembered, but either way, the settings at the ends of the lines are exactly what I just booted/benched with. Try giving that a shot.

radaja start posting your volts from top to bottom. Doesn't help anyone much just to see clock speeds and orthos. ;)
I am putting together my first build right now and was planning on getting the EP45-UD3P as the backbone of my system.
I have never overclocked, but would like to get the most out of my system which will be mostly used as a media center, downloading, storing and playing movies and music as well as some editing and photoshop etc.
Will this board easily allow me to change settings and get the best out of my pc without too much involvement in the overclocking process? It seems pretty daunting as I read more and more about it.
Here is what my setup should look like (waiting til Black Friday to get best deals):
Thermaltake ArmorPlus(Armor+) VH6000BWS
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale
mushkin 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)
VisionTek 900241 Radeon HD 4850 512MB PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready
OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI 700W ATX12V
Seagate Barracuda ES.2 ST3250310NS 250GB 7200 RPM (OS & Programs)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31500341AS 1.5TB 7200 RPM (Media)
ZALMAN CNPS 9700 NT
Your thoughts, suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
This board is exactly what you want. For your needs Easy Tunes Quick boost should work out for you. Read about it here near the bottom pf the page. No overclocking knowledge needed.Quote:

tq bro bugjae.,will use ur settings as reference only..
Not surewhy you couldn't do that with the MIIF, I can run 1280 stable and bench 1320 with my cellshocks and teams on the MIIF easily with lower vdimm.Quote:
