Just wow! SV, that is really cool. I'm continually amazed at this board family, and y'all's skill at bringing out the most of every component.
I always love that "easy" stuff....
if it was easy it would already be posted! :shrug:
guess you better find an xp load.... :up:
I used a BenchZoner load for xp that i downloaded from here...
Thanks Bro, I just got to find the best Ram for the job,
i need to break out of the 9's to even get close to
Jor3llBR/Elano's 8sec 850ms
That is gonna take some work :surf:
Run the ram in dual channel next time and see what it does. You have the mhz for 8s now just need to find out whats holding it back.
Any update on this...if the power is unplugged, lan ports are dead until you reset the CMOS.
Also...when I engage the Energysaver program, I get a squealing sound coming from the MB, can't tell exactly where from, but its sounds like its just south of the CPU, by the big blue heat sink with Gigabyte logo on it.
Of course, the minute I turn off the Energysaver program, squealing stops.
Any ideas? I'm running the latest Bios FE btw.
hey you know it, i love a challange,. i am glad that link helped..
my real worry is the gap between 9.2 and first which is 8.8
that is a lot of tuning....
i might wait and put the chip in the REX and use some of that Hyper magic on it!
i like that xp build, he made it with not many services running, if you have any problems give me a shout
not sure what tool you use to push your cpu, i use easytune6 which needed a dll.
or if you use something else on the cpu....
keep it coming Serg :up:
that is some tight ass timmings viper and also Elano was doing it at x9 multi we are on 9,5...will try this weekend i will try to install on another HDD to try pushing timmings as on W7x64 needs more volts and not a bench OS, though if you saw my SS it scores real well
Cheers mate :up:
Sergio
they all are running the 9.5 multi, take a look
8sec 850ms Jor3llBR/Elano
it's a 9.5 multi with the 544 bus speed
and running ram at 1:1 with 4-4-4-10-42 - 2T @ 544.7Mhz :clap:
Hi guys , did some research , and i found that the tipical VTT/CPUREF/MCHREF dont work for me.
I puted the vtt to 1.20 , cpu ref @ 0.785 and mch ref @ 0.80 , also used the oc 1333 for the rams (using mine @ 1200 cas 5) PL @ 10 , and guess what ..
It didnt even boot up .
I use another method that works for me. I set the vtt to 1.32 , mch ref to 0,726 , and cpu ref its 0.861 i think (it works in auto also).
I passed from didnt even booting (settings given by some users) by being fully stable .
Using e8400 @ 4.5 @ f4 bios @ ep45-ud3p
Can someone tell me the best way to ensure 100% stability .
I have memtest , orthos and linx!
Someone sugested orthos 8k test but for how many hours
Just so you know the 1.32vtt setting doesnt work, if its selected it drops back down to 1.30 even though it still shows 1.32 in the bios. Also the typical references for a quad, .785/0.800, are not the typical references for a dual, there usually auto/0.760 for the cpu and 0.680-0.720 for mch.
Are you sure ET6 is the thing that doesn't work and just sets it back to 1.3? More likely I reckon! Unless you've measured actual vtt, then fair enough. 1.32 was actually the most stable setting on my MIIF which is actually my next step at finding stability with 492x9/1968 7-9-7-24 1T pl7 0-0-1-1. A nice little compromise for my max stable ram/cpu speed I think. Will post screenies when done!
How many people here have had problems with the UD3R? I bought a new one months ago and it was DOA. It would power up for a few seconds and lose all power. On subsequent boot ups no lights no power just nothing in the case. I RMA'd it to Gigabyte and the replacement has had the similar problems. It would boot up once for a few seconds and lose power. I thought the computer was hanging but after pull the battery, there was no lights no fans.
I have read that the P45 boards have this problem. Has anybody here had similar problems? I've built 12 computers with 4 being Gigabyte and I was starting to think I did something wrong. This board is a nightmare.
Any thoughts are much appreciated.
god i need to get a decent 775 chip to throw into my UD3P

Impressive for an Asus - good work. Shame it's taking so much vcore though - good job your temps are under control - must be some serious cooling or that chip loves volts!
@sergio:
MIIF - did I say that? It's almost like swearing now! I need to sell that thing and go on holiday with the money!
So I decided to look at newer BIOS's for the GA-EP45T-UD3LR since I was running F6b from Nov/2009. :D Wow, now there was F7, F8, F9 and F10. So I thought let's do F10....WRONG! :mad: Did not like settings I was using under F6b at all. Do then tried F9...same thing :mad: No matter what I tweaked under F9 or F10 could not boot without BIOS reverting to failsafe settings. Luckily when I tried F8 there were no issues at all. Scared me for a while there and thought I boinked my system :eek:.
Just another experience to give me more grey hairs!:rofl: Oh well, back to work.
Intresting read ...
Iam wondering what bioses are you all using for ep45-ud3p, i would aprecciate some feedback´s and if someone knows any major improvement over the f4 in performance or stability let me know :yepp:
I use F4, because it gives me not so many troubles.:up:
Having read Void Warranty's suggestion, I decided to try it on my board. Prior (was still getting used to the forum layout and neglected to have Hybrid enabled), I mentioned that I couldn't reach stability at 444. After setting the latch to 333, as I was already on 2.00B, stability was obtained. 450 passed super-pi once, then errored out between the 13th and 23rd iteration thereafter. 445, once the Advanced Timing Control were reset to Auto, proved stable at Standard and Turbo for 32M SuperPi and 4096 custom Orthos runs.

Yeaah ,its good to be back and benching. I've got a 240 BIX dumped in a bucket of ice and it's doing me wonders. Idling at 12c with 1.65v.
My latest and greatest result:
Will be pushing further.
systemviper,sweet picture
jjjc_93,awesome OC on your X3360:up:
hey anyone want to trade thier Q9650's for my P55A-UD7?
I figured id post this for anyone considering to go cold, the Koolance V2 pot has a bit of a clearance issue with the center two caps at the top of out boards.
http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...000_0069-2.jpg
I was bored today at work and screwed with my E7500 Work Setup in my sig. Not stable, but oh well it was fun and passed some time to get to quiting time!:D
http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/9413/e75008x525.jpg
Now I need to get cracking on my E8500 Home Setup and shoot for 8 or 8.5 x 500-525 FSB!
This is gonna be fun, i got a few runs that i haven't posted with the x3360, plus i think i will try it in the rex this weekend, i think this must happen.... :yepp:
edit,: maybe i will just throw it back in the gig and try that Team 1300 that i just picked up, hmmmmmm
I got that board when they first came out, even before it was a proven overclocker, and it has been rockin ever since :surf:
I'll be bidding a fond farewell to the EP45 club as of today. I've now switched to my X58A-UD3R and 920 D0 which is already stable at 4.3GHz after a very short session of tweaking. I've enjoyed taking part in this thread and am grateful for all the help in this nice little sub-community on XS. I'll no doubt pop in at some points as I'll have a EP45-UD3P / USB3P and vmodded Extreme up for sale and it'd be good to see how others fare on them :)
Hey guys :D,
I've placed 3'rd on the GOOC2010 final in Roumania ... I thougth to share with you my results (here in this thread were it all started) and wanted to say thanks for your support ... you have been great with me ... so thanks once again :up:

I know this aint x58 tread but is the place where I wroted all about my participation in gooc (also I qualified on an EP45-Extreme mobo) and it seemed fair to me to post the results here too :).
The limiting factor was the mobo (UD3R rev 1.0), because the power delivery can't climb I7 980 CPU to verry high frequencies (one of the cpu's we used did 6300 on UD9). I must say I'm verry pleased with what I managed and hope u like it.
Cheers,
Kagula323
I decided to load BenchZoners XS load (thanks BZ :up:) on my REX yesterday and play with the X3360 on that too,
so i got the Gig UD3P's with some new team 1300's and now the REX with a bucnh of nice ddr3 so this should be interesting.
here is a shot of the load in action :surf:
http://img.techpowerup.org/100619/dualboards.jpg
you will enjoy the X58A-UD3R as much as the UD3P,but if your like me you will be back:Dall i need is a decent 775 quad and i would be posting results in this thread again.have fun with your new toys
i knew you would do good.congratulation on placing third.:up:
very nice results my friend:D
looks like a fun time.i really need to get a table or a big desk to be able set my stuff up like that.:)
Finally broke my 4.6ghz curse :D
sweet runs, i look forward to more!@
Just a suggestion but you might want to start running 3.20B instead of 3.33D. Theres a known issue with 3:5(3.33D) not running at its rated speed, its really a 3.00 so your ram is actually only running at 1626 for that run. And incase im not being clear heres some benchs to illustrate my point.

Hi there,
coming from an E6600 and a P5W DH Deluxe motherboard I just bought a used Q9450 and an EP45-UD3P. But to be honest: I'm totally overextended with all these OC settings, especially when it comes to voltages! I just don't know where to start...
So I would ask you to help me out with this. What are all these voltages for? To where can I push them? As I guess you need more info on my setup:
Intel Q9450 2.66GHz (8x333) VID 1.25V cooled by a Noctua NH-U12P
Gigabyte EP45-UD3P Rev 1.0 BIOS F10
2x 2048MB G.Skill PC-8000 DDR2-1000 (xxx-4GBPQ)
GeForce GTX 260
Enermax 525W
Win 7 x64
Thanks in advance! =)
Consolidated threads
h3x0r_1984 compiled a lot of threads about the UD3P in that link above, which should help you find the answer you seek. It's a good starting off place until someone a bit more knowledgeable chimes in. Good luck!
Thx kitty,
I will give these threads a read. Is it still up to date that Bios F4 gives the best results?
@Popopinsel
As far as I know from reading (having read ALL the posts...what a chore that was in the name of Research!), F4 through F9 are pretty good for the 1.0 version. Had to do some slight digging at gigabyte's site, since their current UD3p is v1.6 (they have links for 1.0 and 1.1 on 1.6's page). From what I recall, some of the others using v1.0 had issues with F10, since usually 'memory compatibility' means 'relaxed values' which may very well make for more issues, especially if you're striving for tighter timings. Check sigs and templates for the past few pages and see if you can discern what most of the UD3P users are using. Odds are high there's a very good reason for their choice.
Be sure to check out tweaktown's forums, as they have a dedicated gigabyte section and a wealth of information, with several of their key members having contributed heavily to this thread.
got it, thanks for the effort! :up:
it also explains something i was trying. appriciate the reminder/heads up
I think I have maxed out my rig with my last run on current cooling, idling at 12c but voltages are way to high for my liking. Perhaps I still have learning to do with 775 overclocking. This is my first intel rig lol.
I wonder if running a slimmed down version of XP would help over a full fledged W7 x64 install?
Will probably experiment with different bios versions aswell, I currently have F7, I would have thought that to be the best to date but you never know I guess.
I will look back through the thread at some templates for the UD3P and see where I can improve.
I'm having too much fun to stop now :D
Congrats on the good clocks to all :up::up::up: love this thread
I will be joining when i got the hypers and have time to put an HDD with XP32
Cheers to all :toast:

OK, just installed the UD3P rev1.0, a q9650 and some G.Skill PI's. I hope it will be fun again to try this platform. My goal is to get 4500mhz LinX stable, but that will be hard to do.
EDIT, maybe I have bitten off more than I can chew. The first few attemps have brought my new watercooling to its knees.
Thanks Sergio, glad to be back among the fine people in this thread. This is where I had the most fun overclocking, and learned the most.
Well, that was short lived, there is no way to control temps in linx at 4500. I am still on the UD3P though, trying my old e8400co to see if that can do 4500mhz. I cant remember the ref's for that but have been trying different things.
OC Nub,you should just send me the Q9650 because my WCing can handle it:rofl:J/K
what kind of temps are you seeing?
I ran blend first at 4500mhz and in 8k it was in the upper 50's c. In Linx it shot to 80c, its a 1.175vid chip and always was hard to cool.
I had the AC on it and still went crazy high in LinX, the newer platforms/chips handle LinX better.
Do you happen to remember the ref's for the e8400's?
Thanks.
Tom
mine liked it like this.with vtt at 1.28v cpu ref at normal(0.760) and mch at 0.750 bios 0.70 ET6
Thanks, I will try that, has been a while and couldnt remember.
Those ref's work nice, thanks radaja.
This chip has bad sensors idle and load, have no clue what the actual temps are.
Im just using an old 2x1gb kit of dominators.
nice,glad i could help.im sure your temps with the duallie are fine:up:
First couple runs were at 4ghz, at 4100mhz now just doing short runs using the 8 multi. The 2gb of mem helps speed things up also, I am sure it requires more vcore with 4gb of mem but this is fast and fun, no 1hr+ runs to see if it passes.

I cant seem to get the gflops to go any higher than 27-28 in linx, normally the higher mhz the higher the gflops. This is where I am at now.
I restarted it several times to try and get gflops higher but the same results each time.

Try cranking up the MCH OC Nub.
I uninstalled the board, the newer boards that recover from a bad oc have ruined me for this platform or at least the older p45's. The boot loops are to frequent, or maybe I have turned into a wimp.
just placed a wanted ad in the wanted section.so i thought id ask you guys too.
im looking for an I/O shield for a UD3P and maybe just maybe,some one heres has
an extra one.i know i went through quite a few of these boards and i used to have
an extra laying around until i gave it to some else who needed it.now i find myself
in a similar situation,i just got a board but didnt get the I/O shield and now need one.
so if any of my fellow UD3P users have an extra please PM me.thanks
EDIT-thanks NoGuru for coming to my aid:up:
Well guys finally my Stalent 2200 CL8 kit arrived today looks awesome :D
I want to thank my friend Tracy ;) for the great help :up:

so it was easier to do 1600 cl6 whith this kit?
cant wait to see how they can go on the P45
and then how low you can run the latency,cl5?maybe
Congrats Sergio!
100% easier than Gskills PI 2000 CL6 look this radaja still on stock volts

will try zsamz :up: just cant believe how nice are doing on 1600 PL7 tightening timmings
Thanks Tom :up:
still dunno why i cant boot on 2000, was easier on the gskills but tighten timmings at 1600 love it :D really an amazing kit
