i think, it's all possible, that's why the higher (and lower) CPU/MCH ref. value setting do exists in bios.
i recall you have made a stable 533-538fsb on this cpu with your previous ram kit before, so besides if the ram was holding everything back, it's possible that you are required to use an entire different cpu pll, vtt, mch, GTL_ref. values, etc.
No one any ideas on getting an E6600 to run stable?
i seem to always want to flash bios back to F4 (i actually like F3 version if it had an ability to save and to retrieve a saved cmos setting profiles from USB drives),Quote:

btw, i havent used the board's Q-flash utility on this UD3R's yet, i use DOS flash progarm for my UD3R's bios flashing and have been flashing the bios quite a bit of times without a single bad flash bios. Q-flash utility seem to be reliable as well, i used to use the utility all the time on my previous gigabyte's, it's just i always have an USB drive attached to the UD3R board and this drive already contain the DOS flash progarm.
I have issues with mine also, seems like above 4.3 I need higher CPU reff, like .785-.80v, But I still have not got it stableQuote:

Also I try to adjust MCH/DRAM reference no success . I'm sure Cpu Vcore is enough for me to hold 4.40 (550x8) and my new ram kit can do 550 with 5-5-5-15 and not loosen subtiming very stable.
Any one try to play around with Cpu clk skew and Mch Clk skew ?
Now I 'm using MCH skew around 150-200 PS and seem nothing change...
I tried a lot of things also and nothing stable yet. My cpu can run so far max of about 4450 small fft stable. Then nothing works past that. So I was also going for 550x8 and messed with everything, skew of 100CPU and 200MCH seemed to be like it would work, but still fails. Then go back to 0skews and same thing.
Also tried the dram termination lower by 1-2 notches which seemed best for memtest, but didnt get stable. Tried more cpu voltage and still not stable.
Somewhere around 550fsb or slightly less I think I need to change PL level to 1 higher, I'll try later
Also I think I will switch to Intel burn test to see if I can spot things that need to be changed sooner, as prime seems to work sometimes and not others, same with super pi
545x8 is perfectly stable for me at only 1.22vtt and 1.26nb with ref's adjusted, my cpu is good for 4500 easy but i cant do 550x8 without failing prime blend... need to tweak...
Hi guys
In cpuz my ram spd is reported as
CAS# Latency 5
RAS# to CAS# 5
RAS# Precharge 5
tRAS 15
tRC 48
I have set the basic ram settings to 5-5-5-15 but under advanced everything is AUTO. Is it worth setting the tRC to 48? And which setting is it please?
Not right now. but there will be :yepp: http://www.techpowerup.com/83135/Int...Duo_E8700.htmlQuote:

what was the VTT value, could you show me the ET6's voltage for your last setting for the 550x8?
Just wondering if everyone else has the issue where you cannot boot from CD if Raid or AHCI is enabled in bios with a sata dvd drive. Tried to boot memtest and it doesnt boot unless I disable raid/ahci in bios.
I just hooked up a IDE dvd drive and it boots fine no matter what.
I have not tried the purple sata connectors yet.
I did try changing the dvd drive from sata port 2 to sata port 5 and enabling and disabling the native/legacy(all combo's). Nothing worked except disable raid. I also noticed in the 1st boot device that my sata dvd burner was specifically listed at the bottom of the list just above disable, so I tried that with all combo's mentioned above and still nothing.
It tries to boot, then says "loading..............." and freezes there. When you disable raid, it shows "Floppy" 1st even if you dont have one hooked up, then says "loading....." and goes right into memtest. Very strange,lol.
I'll test the purple sata next.
And on the subject of this, I have always disabled the onboard sata/ide on this board, up until I started using my IDE dvd drive and hooked up my floppy to install XP(too lazy to do a slipstream right now). Anyway anyone noticed any effects of having the onboard sata enabled or disabled? As far as OC'ing, since I have always had it disabled.
Here are some results I've had with the UD3P and Micron D9-based memory: http://i4memory.com/f90/gigabyte-ep4...results-13492/
Gen-An,very nice results with the ozc's keep pushing it(650mhz and beyond).
I think the 8-layer Kunyu PCBs the OCZ Flex/Reaper and Team Xtreem use help with those high clocks :up:Quote:

If I cannot clock this chip soon this board is going!
Its a great clocking board, you cant blame that you dont know how to clock the board, and say its a bad clocking board, look at this thread and see the resuslts, you need to take your subtimings off auto and set them manually. If you drive is a sata dvd drive you dont set it ACHI, you run it as sata, im running a sata dvd drive and its running on sata not ACHI. I believe the purple ports are Esata ports. Post your settings so somebody can help you out.
trust me phunky phish,clocking wise you must be doing something wrong.as for the dvd thing i cant comment ive never used the purples.but you are very much mistaken in saying thia is the worst clocking board(operator error).just look at all the results users have had.how long have you been trying?cause its not fair to buy a board and without doing some research and then expect it perform miracles,and when it doesnt do what you expect,post that is the worst clocking board youve ever owned
lol this is the best clocking mobo i ever had, and I have had alot. I got 550 stable and just did a 9 hour blend run
I have managed to get all the bits, cpu, ram, gfx, running stable on a Abit IP35 board at 425fsb x8multi.
I cannot even get 400fsb stable on this!
To hit 400fsb with a E6600 should be as easy as shelling pea's!
Maybe it is just me, maybe its just this board does not like 65nm C2D's?
Why dont you take a look at my settings on page 63 and see if you can see what I am doing wrong? But I am following the same procedure that I have used to clock on all boards before.
Lock PCI-e to 100mhz.
Increase fsb in 10mhz increments
When it fails to load windows increase vCore
If this does not help increase MCH volts.
Rattle, can you post your BIOS settings and an ET6 screen shot please. Thanks!Quote:
