awesome pangingIII! wasnt sure how much farther i could go at pl8. looks like can go quite a bit further.thanks for your help.pretty happy with this 10k across the board. http://i38.tinypic.com/2rra3c1.jpg

aah looks real nice.
also good to know that 2x2GB is also able to do PL8 at the FSB, nugzo.
the Static tRead Value (this used to be in bios just "tRD" in some of the first Gigabyte P35 board's BIOS and then later they change it to use the long name) setting in gigabyte work just like this.
if you set the tRD value too low the board simply won't let you boot there will be some beeps and probably a few circle reboots by itself and it gets back up with default bios settings,
if it does not do that, then i turn off power supply switch, and start all over again with new setting. i've never killed any Gigabyte board or ram before (knock on wood) this way.
and if you set the tRD value manually in bios like i always do from the beginning of using the board and on any and every bios, include on every RAM kits i try, then i will know quite a bit about all the changes, and i can try to managed to make some bios setting adjustment on each RAM kits i have and use it on the system.
No one else has an issue with ET6 stopping in Vista? I installed Vista x64 on my main rig and it stops on it as well. Took a little longer, not sure how long, but it stops none the less.Quote:

Each stick will work in the first slot but I can't put anything in the other yellow slot. See this is strang because i was running a gigabyte 43 board and both stick worked in it and i was ablt to oc my 2.53 up to 3.5. Could this board have a bad memery slot?
Weeeell, I tried different memery and its confirmed. The second yellow slot is bad,any ram stick that I put into that slot give me series of beeps and it wont start. I have updated the bios to F5 thinking that might clear up the problems but nooooooo:down:
The boerd is running my e7200@3.8 on one stick of G.Skill 1066. While im sending in the MB i've been thinking about some different ram,what does everyone think about Patirot viper 1066,hell its 53 bucks?
I've had zero issues running that ram on this board.Quote:

Just wondering if they peform any better than their DDR2 brothers.
I am having a couple of issues with my UD3P.
#1 is I am having trouble getting my memory stable above 1000Mhz/ I have 4x1gb sticks of the old D9 Crucial Ballistic PC-6400. These same stick clocked very well on my Abit IP35 Pro 1150Mhz 5-5-5-15.
If anyone is running these same or similar sticks on this board and you have some good settings for clocking them to 1066Mhz or higher I would be grateful.
I am currently running them at 800Mhz.:down:
I am still getting use to this BIOS and all of it's features.:shocked:
#2 is the Dolby Sound Center does not work?? All I get is a pop up with a Error message.
Well, I turned off the comp...popped in the other stick of ram and wala its up and running.Maybe I wasn't holding my mouth right:yepp::shrug:
Hello everyone,
I recently buit the configuration from my signature and ever since have been experiencing troubles with stability.
At first I used the Corsair XMS 2x2gb 1066 ram but it was faulty so I got the Crucial wich is with micron double sided chips but ddr2 800.
At current clock levels 445x9 vcore 1.37, vmch 1.32, vddr 2.02 and with loose timings I was able to run Prime95 twice for 9 hours error free.
Even though the pc is prime stable it gets random freezes and a blue screen appears saying something like dumping memory and a countdown starts or just freezes.
Any ideas what might cause that? I am almost possitive that it is something in the BIOS.
Here is what my BIOS settings look like:

You may want to try raising the memory voltage to 2.1-2.2v. The sticks ae rated for stock voltage of 2.2v not 2.02v.
On mine the stock voltage is 2.0v (thats what the label says) if I set them to higher than 2.08 they start to be unstable. what about virtualization tech? on or off?
Just ran memtest for 4 hours no errors..

My mistake. I was thinking they were 1gb sticks and they are 2gb.:hitself:
i disable my virtualization tech.i think it has to do with if you run virtual machines like vm ware.
A few post back i was saying the I couldn't get my MB running with both sticks of ram.At some point it started to work and i couldnt tell why.While eveything seemed to be working great(3.9 on e7200,I decided to run the vcore on the chip to 1.4,a little high but i wanted it to hit 4.0. Whel it did and i wanted to prime95 it on blend.It stayed stable. I was watching the temp and it got up to 58c so i cecided to stop it,thay can go to 65ish,right?
I shut the computer down because i wanted to lower the vcore. On the restart it started to act up again with the second ram slot.I reset cmos and swaped out the ram sticks.:down:I have left it over night to cool down,basement is 59f now. Anyway it won't start with anything in the second slot,does anyone else had this problem?:shrug: I;m thinking I need to RMA it.
i would rma it,sound like its a dud board.strange though how it wouldnt work .then it worked. then it wouldnt work again.
Hi,
Any news on the S3 resume problems on UD3P ? any bios updates ?
F7a is still the latest BIOS, so nothing yet.Quote:

Oc'ing due good memory and stable memory get some(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin
ddr2 sdramddr2 1066 (PC2 8500)
just bought the pi black pc7200, i cannot boot over 800 at 4 4 4 12, i set the voltage manually to 2.1. i tried 2.000 D and also 2.66 D but no luck.
any input would be greatly appreciated

ohh crap i was probably one of the last people to buy it. I just received em today and they are already deactivated.
on 2.00B they work awsome.
currently i am at
CPU: 465x8.5 = 3.95ghz
Ram: 465x2= 930mhz @ 4-4-4-12 2.1v
i cannot push the ram farther then 469 at cas 4 which i think is still pretty good.
currently i am running vista ultimate 32bit, i have a copy of 64 bit. How does this mobo handle 64bit setup, is it smooth.
Not to hijack this thread, but the ppl reading this one seems to know their UD3P.
I'm having serious problems with mine after going to watercooling - if you think you can help - please do so here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=210326
Alright! Now I am happy! I enabled LLC and made some other changes in the BIOS and got some great results. I did have to raise the Core voltage to 1.41v to hit this FSB but that is nowhere near what I have had this CPU up to in the past.

@ ledge, your pll voltage is way to high. you should be able to drop that to 1.57 or lower.

depends on what your comfortable with. i think most try to stay below 1.60.also if you keep things cool (good airflow) you should be ok w/1.69 i think. im probally not the best person to be asking cause i dont like to go to high on any of the voltages.right now im using pll1.57 and im trying to lower it to 1.5(not comfortable with 1.57)and vtt not really sure but i keep mine below 1.4.but still not 100% sure . please feel free to correct me if wrong.
Yes, please elaborate on why keeping the voltages rock solid is not good for 45nm CPU's??????????? :shrug:Quote:

With this board I need 1.41v core, 1.5v CPU termination and 1.6900v PLL.
I did do one more max FSB run and was able to hit 550Mhz which is 50Mhz higher then I could hit with the Abit board.

Hey I need some help as I'm a noob at OC'ing Intel's. I have an E8400 E0 and UD3P. Basically I have been messing around and 3.6Ghz is easy 9x400 I keep lowering the CPU Vcore, currently I'm at 1.175 in bios and 1.136 reported in ET6/CPUZ. I have been just doing this as it seems that I'm missing something as anything I try it wont boot above 400FSB. I'm on the F5 bios, my mem is OCZ and running on the 2.66D currently at 1066 PL8 5-5-5-15.
I didnt think that I would need to mess w/ the ram timings so far as when I bump it up I go for the same 1066 speed. But maybe I need to change to PL9?
I raised all the voltages, left the reff on auto as I though they would keep a good ratio?
What am I missing?
Am I supposed to only have 4 led's light on the board I turned all the DES stuff and in bios off so I thought that it should stay at full power so 6 led's?
Also I'm kind of disappointed as the DES seems to only lower voltages if your on stock settings. It will still lower the multi when you OC but stops lowering the Vcore, or am I missing something?
Ledge, ditch the F5 BIOS, it did not play nice for me. Try the F7a beta BIOS. I was having trouble with 4GHz and a lot of voltages as well w/ F5. After flashing to F7a, I can run 4GHz with 1.3175v set in BIOS w/ LLC enabled giving me a rock solid 1.29v according to cpu-z, OCCT and ET6. I also only have 1.35 PLL, 1.22v cpu termination and 1.32v MCH. It SHOULD make a big difference for you as well.Quote:

That is what I have been using. I downloaded the F7a BIOS right after I installed the board.Quote:

Thanks for the tip on the BIOS though.:up:
it will not allow at 4-4-4-12 it's to tight to at that oc on the cpu loos'en it up to 5-5-5-15 as 1066 memory and.I bet you get 469 and above..I managed toQuote:

I just got my UD3P. Could people with Q6600's please post me their settings. I don't care what GHz as long as its stable. Thanks.
I'v never used a mobo with this many settings before and I just need some refences to look at.
I am itching for any of the P or R. Any one noticed any difference OCing between the P & R? I know i will never croossfire even if 4850 gets half the price. I wonder how good is DOLBY sound compared to the normal on-board sound of the "R"?
TIA.
Get the P couple of bucks now will save you from headache latter...Quote:

I couldn't push the ram anymore then 1000 @ cas 5, I have a feeling it will do more with higher voltages and also if I lower the cpu multiplier
So out of the above two settings, according to my research the cas 4 setting will be faster.
Give me some input guys let me know what you think. I am gonna post my bios settings in a few hours.
I recently upgraded to a UD3P. When ever any BIOS settings is changed from default, it is fine when I apply the settings, it loads windows, runs perfect. But if I turn the computer off and then back on (no matter how long i leave it) it starts but when it should post it restarts and keeps going in that cycle. To fix it I have to switch it off at the PSU, and then switch it back on and it will work but the BIOS said that overclocking failed and its un-overclocked itself. First time I thought it must have been un-stable. But this time it was able to run wPrime 1024m, I know its not the most intense program, but if it could pass it, there is no way it could be so un-stable not to post. BTW if I restart using Windows it is fine, but it does the same thing if I use the button on my case.
So :confused:, is there some settings I need to change?
Thanks for any help.
what happens when the computer resets back to the optimized stock settings and then you turn it on from the button. Does it continue to go back to the cycle? or does it turn on fine from the button at the factory settings?Quote:

this is what i would do, start lowering you FSB and voltages in small increments, find out at what point does it boot fine.
maybe you should start at stock and work your way up. Also try resetting or switching ram or psu if you got spares.
hopefully someone else will come up with a faster solution but mean while get started.
I'v used this CPU and RAM before on my P5E so I know what its capible of. But anyway atm its at 2.4GHz with 1.056v with all the power saving thingys off. It was always 100% stable at these settings on my P5E.
knowing your cpu and ram is one thing but how it perform can vary from mobo to mobo. anyhow good luck buddy hope this problem is solved soon for you.
True, the only thing that confuses me is like I said, its wPrime 1024m stable. But as soon as I restart it won't post. WTF. If it wasn't stable enough to post, then why did it post the first time and not the second.
fatguy1992,
what you describe (it worked the first time but once you try to shutdown and restart the computer the bios won't post) happens a lot to Gigabyte boards, many times i find that the board didn't actually like all voltage settings i give it in BIOS, and when this happens i would reset cmos information and go back to all of the previous settings and retry by adding (sometime reducing) volts to cpu, mch, vtt, ram, sometime try using different cpu/mch/dram's GTLref value. i can't tell you exactly where to look in your settings.
i've not read every thing that you post, but for me, with an e8400 installed, if i use mch strap other than 333 straps (memory multi 2.0B, 2.40B) i normally get a double bios post (but this is normal the board is just resetting and to use other mch strap other than default), however, sometime i find that i need to use 333 strap to get a real stable system (and also get a more lower voltage use in the system). if i want to overclock ram and sometimes i have to use a different straps , then that's just for my ram overclocking fun and it's just another story.
i can't be much help, but hope to see you find and get a stable setting soon.
Thanks, I just did another test and I got it to work :) Finally. Its at 3.0GHz. I'm going to reduce the volts later.
Here are my observations on this board. You really need to adjust CPU and MCH reference voltages (GTL's) on this board. Most seem to be using auto which is fine for stock. CPU termination and MCH voltages default values are 1.2 and 1.1 volts, respectively. At these voltages the reference voltages default to 0.760 volts. This corresponds to a CPU GTL reference of 63% (0.760/1.2 = 0.633) and an MCH GTL reference of 69% (0.760/1.1 = 0.691). These values may not be suitable for the overclock you are trying to obtain. Manually set these voltages then start raising the CPU termination voltage. You will see the CPU and MCH reference voltages rise also. Note that the ratio of CPU ref./CPU term. is always around 63%. This is what the auto setting does, changes the CPU reference as the CPU termination rises to keep the 63% GTL. While this is the generally accepted value for 45nm CPUs, a ratio is 67% is preferred for 65nm, especially quads. For example, if your CPU termination is 1.3 volts, choose the CPU reference of 0.863 volts (0.863/1.3 = 0.664.
Another problem arises with the MCH reference. If you leave it on auto the BIOS will set it to the same value as the CPU reference. So if you set the CPU termination to 1.3, the CPU and MCH reference will be 0.823 volts on the auto setting. But if you have set the MCH to 1.4 volts, your MCH GTL is 59% (0.823/1.4 = 0.587) which is likely too low. I found that while Linpack, Prime small FFT and Blend would all pass, large FFT would eventually cause a lock-up if the GTLs weren't set correctly. For my Q9550 on the UD3R I found that using 1.3 volt CPU termination and MCH with both references set to 0.863, giving a 67% GTL for each, gives me total stabilty at 475 x 8.5. Of course each board/CPU will be different so you just have to test.
Thanks I think I understand all that :)
Also would you be able to tell me what CPU Clock Drive is?
As well as CPU and MCH Clock Skews?
Thanks
I just overclocked to 3.2GHz (400x8). Could u take a look at my GTL settings.
CPU
0.863/1.3 = 0.66384 and so on
MCH
08.03/1.2 = 0.66916 and so on
So is that right?
Also what should I do with my DRAM Channel A and b references?
hey fatty post your entire bios settings for more helpQuote:

compare your settings to other q6600 on ud3p in this thread.
Fatguy1992 it looks like you got the hang of my post. Other than Vdimm, I left the rest of the voltage settings on auto. I also left clock drive, skew, and channel A and B references on auto. At 400 fsb with a Q6600 you might need 1.3 MCH or more especially if you are running anything other than 1:1 memory. My old Q6600 did at least. What is your MCH frequency latch and memory multiplier? Also don't use the "extreme" memory performance enhance setting, I could never get anything stable with it. Use turbo or standard.Quote:

I still haven't matched it's memory latencies, yet, which has been a little disappointing.
Its stable at only 1.2v for the MCH. I think my MCH frequ. latch is 200MHz (but i might be wrong) and i'm using the standard memory performance enhance setting.
Thanks for all ur help :).
The endless reboot issue has me stumped. I know when I tried a setting that didn't work it would reboot three times then reset itself to stock and boot. If I had a setting really out of whack it would try to boot but never get to the BIOS; a CMOS clear would fix that. But never an endless loop of reboots. I hope you guys can come up with an answer.
Not looked at your other posts, but have you tried with 1 stick of ram then manually setting the correct voltage for the ram once in bios, then place the other stick or sticks of ram in the motherboard?Quote:

has anyone else noticed the UD3L and UD3LR for sale? anyone know the differences between them and the older UD3 boards?
im building a rig for a friend of mine and was curious if anyone had any experiences with those boards. he wants a quad core plus a lot of ram and wants to get an entire rig running for under 900 bucks, and shaving 30 off of the board price will allow a TRUE instead of a AC7/Xig.
i suppose we could run a q9400 instead of a 9550 for the price savings if the UD3LR is totally out of the question.
Read this UD3LR and UD3LQuote:

What BIOS are you on? I was on F7a when that kept happening to me. I flashed back to the F5 BIOS it came with and it hasn't happened since. I might actually give F4 a try since a lot of people are saying it's better for quads.Quote:

Static tRead Value Available options 1~15. This is the crucial tRD on earlier boards (shown in memset & elswhere as Performance Level) If your rig is reposting continually chances are its because of this value being too tight. It's nice to have it channel based as it's sometimes practical to run at 8 on channel A and 9 on Channel B for example.
Isn't PL 9 usually a sufficiently loose value for most overclocks? That's where I had PL at when those reboots happened; dropping it even lower to 10 doesn't seem like it would do much good.
i had the endless reboot where it would never even get into the bios ,once. it happend when i tried to use my new mushkin memory. the problem was one stick was bad,took out one stick still endless boot,took out second stick put in first stick back in then it booted right up.thats the only time ive gotten the endless reboot.but when you have performance level too tight ,it will boot three times then take you back to bios with red OC failure screen so you can make the needed adjustments
Whats the general consensus regarding a BIOS for a quad? F4? or F7a?
F7a gave me endless reboots (more than just the usual three with F5 and F4) when I put in settings it didn't like. F5 is decent, but I like F4 more since I don't have to raise voltages as high.
Just installed vista 64
For some reason my 4850 ATI Graphics card is showing a 1.0 Score in Vista experience for both graphics results. Strange thing is my 3D Vmark is about 7k.
I been searching all day for an answer and can't seem to find one. I am using all the recent drivers etc.
Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening? Everything else gets a 5.9...
Thanks!
Did you retest it since installed?
I have been struggling with this board and have found that by far the most important part in the bios is the MCH reference!!!.
@1.184Vcore in windows I tried everything to get prime going, everything I tried failed in 1min. So setting the MCH correctly has gotten me a couple hours on the same settings, PLL/CPU term are at stock
Fixed it...
Seems as though you need to follow these steps to get corrupt scores out of Vista:
1. Click Start, type the following path in the "Start Search" box,
and then press ENTER:
%SYSTEMROOT%\Performance\WinSat\DataStore
2. Delete all the .xml files in the folder.
3. Click Start, type performance information and tools in the Start Search box,
and then click Performance Information and Tools in the Programs list.
4. If the following information appears, click Refresh Now to update the
Windows Experience Index:
Your Windows Experience Index needs to be refreshed.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation,
type the password or click Continue.
Windows Experience Index assesses the components in the computer.
5. Note the value that appears next to Your computer has a
Windows Experience Index base score of.
6. Click Update my score.

I have read about issues with other people videocards ect.. before where they would make a high pitched noise. Well my board makes an annoying noise when I have the DES/C2E enabled. You know the 6 lights on the board, well this noise corresponds with the 2nd green led or 2nd phase power supply. So currently that is the light/phase that is on at idle on my computer and this noise is driving me crazy. If I open a program it will throttle up a little and then the sound goes away for a second or I get like a fast beeping sound when its throttling.
Any help? Should I RMA it??
I'm not sure what you mean - is it a high pitched whine/whistling from the mosfets under load?Quote:

If that's not what you're talking about, just ignore my post :-)
I just did some quick tests on max fsb and GHz with my Q6600.

It was easier to hit 500FSB on my UD3P then it was to hit 470FSB on my P5E :D. I would have got 4.0GHz easy (500x8) if it was so hot today :mad: - dam summer
I need a bit of help from you guys.
I've got my system 24/7 stable at 460x9, but naturally I want more... :D
My goal is 500x9 so on my way there I'm trying out 480x9.
I can pass IntelBurnTest and have currently been running Prime95 for 8hrs.
The problem is that if I download e.g. a zip-file of 60MB, it will be corrupted (Winrar reports this).
Everything works fine at 460x9.
I've tried raising vcore, MCH, GTLs - and just about everything else - and I *still* get corrupted files.
My settings at 460x9 which is stable:
mem freq: 920 (2.00B) - haven't played with this yet
mem timings: 5-5-5-15
LLC: enabled
Vcore: 1.3625V
VTT: 1.36V
PLL: 1.5V
Cpu Ref: 0.861V
MCH: 1.36V
MCH Ref: 0.861V
MCH/DRAM: 0.9V
ICH I/O: 1.5V
ICH: 1.2V
DRAM: 2.1V
DRAM Term.: 1.05V
CH A Ref: 0.9V
CH B Ref: 0.9V
--------------
And my "stable" settings at 480x9 that will corrupt files:
mem freq: 960 (2.00B) - haven't played with this yet
mem timings: 5-5-5-15
LLC: enabled
Vcore: 1.4V
VTT: 1.38V
PLL: 1.5V
Cpu Ref: 0.874V
MCH: 1.38V
MCH Ref: 0.874V
MCH/DRAM: 0.9V
ICH I/O: 1.57V
ICH: 1.2V
DRAM: 2.1V
DRAM Term.: 1.05V
CH A Ref: 0.9V
CH B Ref: 0.9V
--------------
Can you help identify which settings I should change to get this puppy stable - and hopefully closer to my 500x9 goal?
Thanks!
:shocked: :clap: :up:
