** Official ** Gigabyte UD3 P45 Series -- EP45-UD3 / EP45-UD3R / EP45-UD3P

i just bought the UD3P...
thing is, i have a Patriot D9GKX that is rated 533mhz 12-4-4-4
when i boot with E7200 i can reach almost 600mhz fsb with those memories.. but when i put into the board a Q9450 i just CANT boot with those 533 rated D9GKX's... just with a lame mushkin HP2 rated 800mhz...
its like the board won't boot on 333mhz fsb with a 533mhz rated memories..
the fact is that those rated 533 are better than those mushkin rated 800mhz
so, how can i boot the UD3P with a 333mhz fsb rated cpu(Q9450) and a 533mhz rated memories?
or the best question, how can i boot with MENUAL Settings for DDR2!?
im so pissed on this board right now :(

What kind ram do you run with your E6600?

Is there any clocking difference, bios issues, or just problems between the EP45-UD3P and EP45T-UD3P? I looking to get one of them just wondering if one is a better ocer then the other. If theres no difference im looking to get the ddr3 version this go around.

Yes there are, DDR3 version is not as good as the DDR2 version for OC's.

I ran voltages that high and higher (all but vcore) for many many months untill i got gtl's sorted. Still running great! I almost want to pump all the voltages back up just to see how long it will last...

can you explain a bit more like why they dont o.c as good would of thought it would be as good if not better becuase of the higher bandwidth of ddr3

Not sure the specific reason for it, but I can verify that it doesn't OC as well as the DDR2 version. Perhaps the bios for the T version is a bit immature, but at the moment the DDR2 version is superior

I'm not 100% sure if it's the f8a bios or some other settings I changed, but the voltages have changed a little for the better. The vdrop is now HIGHER, but the vdroop is LOWER. I find that fits my needs perfectly as I was idling at 1.472 and now I am idling at 1.456, which both ended up vdrooping to 1.424

Whatever you do, dont buy the ep45t-ud3p, i had the board and played with it for 2 weeks, p45 and ddr3 are a bad match, and the board just sucks, and there is 000000000 bios support, dont say i didnt warn you.

can anyone else confirm this please guys any else got the ddr3

Hi all.,off topic abit.,can i know which 1 is better between Thermalright Ultra Extreme 120 and Xigmatek S1283..tq

heres my latest,will be back tommorrow.http://i41.tinypic.com/juixpj.jpg

sorry for the double post. BOBREECE,here you go.http://i4memory.com/f90/gigabyte-ep4...-review-12477/

Sweet Raja, you should be able to get 500fsb no problem, cant ask for more than that with a quad, like to see some everest runs with your setup?, where are you team xtreems ?.

Read the review bobreece, why do you think i rma the board to newegg, its febuary, and still no bios updates, the board wont boot at all on the 200 strap, trust me its not a good board, the ddr2 version kicks butt, but there are alot of good ddr3 boards out there, probally the best money can buy is the asus rampage extreme, read the threads here, and reviews, that board is a monster.

Is the GA-EP45-UD3P - F8a bios any good?

well i have the ddr3 version now delivered this morning will test and let you all know if its no good rma time

Are you having problems populating more than one slot?
Mine booted first time (stock settings) with no issues.
I have noticed that these particular G.Skills seem to prefer lower voltages, as I struggle towards a final setup I'll probably try undervolting them to see what happens.

Yep. I have a rev 1.0 and a rev 1.1 boards that will not run with 2 sticks of ram.

@clo007

I have simillary problem, I can´t run 2x2 ram at 1066 with bus 333, 1066 with bus 400 or 1080 with bus 450.

I can run ram at 1200 with 2x1 at bus 400, 450 and 500.

I can run my ram up to 1100 at bus 550 (dual core), it seems like this board have problem to run ram at ~1050 and higher at anything else the 1:1 with 2x2.

I have tried this with 2x2 Corsair Dominator PC8500.

Have you tried to run 1:1 with yours?
