GG on the Vcore!!!
A little hot for Core#1...

I can't reach more than 9x455 @ 1.30~1.31v
I'll try to do some better bios setting I think.

BTW, my sensors are stucked whatever Vcore I put:
Core 1&2 @ 34°minimum
Core 4 @41°minimum
But no problem with charges, it seems to work

Thanks,
I think all my sensors are stuck at idle, never go below 36c on 1&2, 3&4 normally stay at 41-42c no matter the vcore but even out under load.

Very nice andressergio!! You have a great chip there, congrats :clap:

Thank you mate remember this beast is 1,1875 vid its HOT !!! :D, as we are on summer here 30C and more outside and 27 or 28C room i have to turn on AC to prime it. So now i think i found a good 24/7 :)

Cheers :up:

Mate don't pay so much atttention to the sensors most of us have, you have a great vcore on that chip also, my other batch needed that for just 4050, so its fine :up: congratz

I agree these sensors or all of with the q9650 but its been this way since the first one was produced... Ill take that as a hit for how they produce anyways they start to work after idle 40C and up so no problem thats when i need to know its working !!!!!

thought id give a heads up.i think im going to be getting rid of my Q9650 and my g.skill 9600 2x2GB kit. open to trades(dual core+cash)if anyone is interested PM me.just want to see if theres an interest before i post it in the F/S section.the reason is im tired of only being able to go so high(fsb) with quad and 2x2GB,had more fun with dual and 2x1GB d9 gkx/gmh with this board(550+fsb)

I'm planning on upgrading my mobo. My DFI DK P45 served me well with my E8600 but fails short with my new Q9650 and heavy ram load. I see a lot people using Gigabyte boards and achieving high clocks, so i'm planning on getting one. What would be the better board for the job, the EP45-UD3P or the EP45-Extreme? (I prefer the latter due to the fact it has native watercooling on the NB which fits perfectly with my WC-system plus the number and position of the PCIe slots is a pro for me )

DFI DK P45 T2RS Plus is very good for extreme 2D benching, EP45-UD3P & EP45T-UD3P are good for daily use with low VCores...

Go back through this thread and read some of Jor31BR' s posts. If im not mistaken he has both of the boards that you are asking about and has pulled off
some fantastic (world record) clocks with both of them with a 9650:clap:

Thanx for the quick responses. :) . The DFI UT P45-T2RS was also a candidate, but after reading the UT P45-T2RS thread and seeing Jor31BR comments about this board - the fact it has trouble running high clocks with quads - I'd made my choise.
I'll go for the UD3P (mainly because it's cheaper than the Extreme and is has LCC option in the bios, don't feel like modding the Extreme at the moment)

Quick question. Iam correct saying that this CPU will average 4.2Gz OC for 24/7 usage?

Good cooling + right motherboard > 4.4GHz at least without a sweat.
Good chip > 4.5GHz ++

I'd say that wasn't accurate. I'd say with decent cooling most chips will reach 4.25GHz. Beyond that it depends how good a chip you have, what motherboard you have, and how good an overclocker you are.

Dunno. I only tried 3 chips. 2 from the old batch. 1 from the new batch when the price drop. They can do 4.3 - 4.4 prime stable easily. Using ud3p and T-extreme.

3 Chips tested for friends, old batch and new and all of them can do 4500Mhz Prime95/IBT stable if you cool them down below 65oC on heavy load and know your way thru the rocks...

Mine is running 4800Mhz IBT stable :up:

EDIT: all of them had a vid below 1.23v.

Thank you gents
Well noted.
Again thank you.. need to save some money now :)

My new PSU (Corsair TX 750) arrived today so I'm about to rebuild. I'm seriously hoping that I can join the big boys club at 4.5GHz on air! Hope to report back soon.

I really like the dfi board, I "almost" bought one, before I got this board.
One of the deciding factors for me was all of the templates/support in the UD3P thread right here on XtremeSystems. Its important for me to get help when I need it; from some really good people. I know that there is a really good p45-t2rs thread also, (with good people there also). BUT; there is not many people there with quads. Or at least when I was shopping for a good quad board.
Most people achieve high clocks with quads on the ud3p. And I couldn't be happier with my choice of the ud3p. I can plug in Jor's or radaja's templates with my quad and achieve great results and stability. Now that is easy (lazy) overclocking. I mean down to the Vcore. Just put in their numbers and go.
I can't keep up with their memory, or cooling, but.... Lotta nice people that will help you with the ud3p and quads.

I agree the UD3P is a awesome board for quads, better then my P5Q deluxe which I think I am switching out for a Gig.

But the new chips (since the price drop) dont overclock so well, right?

I think it also depends on the mobo you have...
:p:

I've got a "new chip": L845B527 with a VID: 1,2500v
On my ASUS P5E3 WS Pro, I have trouble to find a right parameter to achieve a 9x485... (I'm also a newbie on this mobo/DDR3)
But here, I just perform' some 4H CPU Stress MT @ 9x455 with 1,3125v Vcore. Not that bad I hope.
I'll try to push some more even if most of you guys use an UD3P...

You guys must have good chips, I need to have 1.45V to get 4.3Ghz stable.
