1.21v
wow so young and he already has i7:D
i only test about 2hrs prime95 blend and good eneough for me.
as to latecy i like when i can get it at 47-49,needs to be at 542+ 1300+ for that:D
very nice the motherboard looks great, I can't wait to see everything together:up:
Wow, so good to see everyone is still here, playing with all their toys as usual :D. Glad to see Socket 775 is still alive and kicking. I've been on vacation for the last 2 months in Croatia, Bosnia, and Venice, so I haven't really been able to post or view this thread much. Infact, I completely forgot about it. It's kinda weird knowing these boards and CPUs, when pushed with a decent OC, and even the good old E8400, can still play the latest titles with decent performance without the need of an i7. I've had my UD3P for almost a year and the board was released almost 2 years ago, and it still does pretty damn well.
Well, yeah, just wanted to drop in and say hello, despite not a lot of you being familiar with me :)
Nice board Sergio, but who is the old guy standing behind you?:hehe:
Good to see you Dark-E. Sounds like a fun vaca.
I've successfully overclocked to 4ghz 11hours of prime belnd stable and memtest ran for 2 hours and stable... Can I have more now? maybe 4.25 or even 4.5ghz?
FYI fellow XS'ers...Crucial has some Refurb SSD's on there site right now going fast!

It should be this.
Just setting it doesnt work you have to load optimized defaults. Renter bios and reset your settings for your overclock.Quote:

If you have tried going higher on other voltages you can try upping CPU PLL 1.6 Max.
Some early air testing on a Q9550 I just got and so far it seems to be a strong runner. Its definitely a hotter chip so Im going to have to get the water setup on it before I can really feed it.

Nice low volt's Hoss. Looks like your going to need to put in on DICE soon.:rocker:
Oh its definitely going to get frozen, thats the whole reason why I have it. :up:
Hoss i guess we have the same batch cause mine can do that to on that kind of volts. and thats on my DFI bord. my batch is L844B716
My batch is not quite the same but close, its a L847C084.
@radaja
Thanks again!
no problem.its the same as i use just slightly higher vmch and vtt than my last template i posted
but the mch ref is the same.0.70v in ET6
Some testing that i did with my ex plattform P45 Ud3l and e7400, this really is a nice motherboard and not so expensive :D

anybody have marshmallows , so we cant melt over hoss331 q9550 . . . get some cooling dude
The only reason I have this chip is for dice/ln2 benching so current temps arent really going to matter. The way its setup now is just to make sure it works ok, this being with my old S1283 w/ stock fan and whatever paste I found first.
doesnt matter i have a megahalems and on 1.25 volts im already hitting 65 its just cause i have an immense low vid.. 1.1375 hosses vid is a bit higher but still a hot chip.
yep them low vid chips are hot hot hot:D
Hi guy , back to here for after the year !
Currently I have EP45UD3R
I have change my cpu from E8600 to Q9550 vid 1.200
My ram is limit to not over 1040 MHZ (Crucial ballistix 2x2)@5-5-5-15
And my Cpu cooler may not good enough for OC quad.
Now I can do 450x8.5 = 3.825 MHZ Vcore 1.184(CPUZ) with 1.1 RAM
My temp is quiet high (74,67,72,67)
Do i should change my cpu cooler to archieve 4.0Ghz or more?
Could someone share the setting for OC Quad Plz.
:D thanks for advice Sergio ,just bought TR Ultra 120 xtreme It's have a sell promo in my local country shop. Rightnow I m not set it up in my case yet.
Anyway I play around with it for a while and I doubt that my Quad have FSB Wall Limit around 485:confused: if I reach above that It's freeze while booting to Windows I'm current at BIOS F12. Does it concern with this issue?
but below that should work fine
Are there any trick to hit 500+ Fsb?
anyway this is what I got tonight. set in BIOS and shown in ET6 the temp still high
is it possible to create raid 1 without data loss from source sata drive? when attempting to do a raid 1, the raid utility warns me, that all data (both drives) will be erased:(
thats the problem i have no other drive for backup but some famous czech computer based website wrote, that it was possible
I got the water setup back together so I went ahead and did some test runs on the 9550. Temps are obviously better but im thinking they should be better than they are, or this chip is just that hot.
http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...ss281/4300.png
Hoss331 , how much watt consume when you stress your Quad @4300 mhz
,mine now @ 4164 mhz 1.28 vcore consume at peak 133 W when stress very
high compare with duo.
Anyway could you share your bios setting for 500 fsb.
Im on another bord but i guess i just post here cause this is more likely to get reply's haha and i always wanted an ud3p so let me in (A)??
Im now linx stable at 4.165 GHz with a voltage of 1.2 ~ 1.216 load, restarted to oc this cpu cause my old setting stopped to be stable. lets try to get the same speeds as HOSS haha :) (i doubt if i can do that cause of my mobo) my temps under full linx load are 67C with a Megahalems. but under WCG or Prime it doesnt get anny higher than 55C and 58C so i think its ok.
Temps look good to me being its a 9550 at 4.3 . . . here's a pic of my 9650 at 4.0 my temps where same as yours but at 3hz less . . . it a low vid remember :yepp:
http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k7...ableSetupA.jpg
I havent ran it at 500fsb but it should be the same basic settings as the 506 just with a little less vcore. Heres the wattage for a small fft run and my 506 test settings.
http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...81/wattage.png
Im actually a little suspicious of my pump, I havent used it in a few months but it seems to be down on power/flow (took forever to get the system fully primed) so it may be on its way out. My 9650 is also a 1.15 vid and it runs noticeably cooler than this chip on the same water setup. Heres a run with the 9650 with more voltage but ambients at 21c, ambient temp last night for the 9550 was 23-24C.Code:******Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T.)******

it easy to tell if its your pump . . . on your radiator in and out lines should be no less than a 1 - 2 Celsius difference if its say 29 - 30 going in and 25 going out , means the water is staying to long in either side of the loop , pump isn't doing its job :up:
I would just stick with the 9650 is doesn't work as hard at higher clocks as the 9550
Well its been priming for a little over an hour now and the temps between the lines are virtually the same, so the pump is looking to be ok. I plan on going to SB when it comes out so really the only reason I have this chip is for bot points, right now im just playing with it before it goes cold. :up:

Does anyone know if the Thermalright HR-02 fits OK inside a USB3P? =)

@ hoss
I wish i had an ud3p now that high fsb and speed with a Q9550 stable... the highest i reached so far is 1.21v @ 490 FSB cant get it higher or it wil become unstable..
Theres still a few ud3s floating around out there, get one. :up:
i know just dont have the money and i dont want to pay like 50 euros for just 2 or 300 mhz..
Ok.. this is either a nice troll vector or awezum humor. I refuse to believe that one of us is ignorant.
Now back to the point: Has anyone tried the Thermalright HR-02 in a USB3P? Does it fit well, in all orientations, without crashing into anything nearby... chipset sinks, memory..etc ?
:)
XmX
it fits the ud3p so i would think yes
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=437
Yeah, I also did a search and found that odd peculiar post...
Why is this post odd or peculiar?
Simple. It's from 11-21-2008. Dude probably meant the HR-01, and typo'ed HR-02 (??) ... The "real" Thermalright HR-02 that I am aware of is (C) 2010, as noted elsewhere and here -> http://www.madshrimps.be/vbulletin/f...spotted-72748/ "9th June 2010 .. During Computex the company showed several new creations and among these we found Thermalright HR-02"

Does ga-ep45-ud3p have some kind of mosfet load protection or something like that. I actively cool them and they are not even warm but I'm having hard time to make 20 LinX passes with q9650@4500MHz(9x500) because my processor needs over 1.4V and when I start running LinX, in a few minutes the system shuts down (fans not spinning) and restarts. If I raise vcore the system shuts down and restarts in few seconds so the more vcore I set the less LinX passes I get. Cpu core temperatures reach about 85C and Cpu Thermal Monitor is disabled.
EDIT:
It turns out that the cpu needs lower temperatures. It was strange for me because with my previous board heat issues just made LinX to issue wrong residual and this board has its own way of saying: "Hey you need to chill this CPU" :).

hi what is the best revision cause i may get an ud3p rev 1.0 for like 40 euros...
1.0 i found to the best.
1.1's have quirks with certain straps and ratio's
havent tried a 1.6 though
ok then il buy it and sell my P45 T2RS+ :) may get the same amount as i buy the UD3P For haha :P
I need 1.46 vNB to get 500 fsb run prime but I don't hv much time to test long run ,So 1.46 vNB is it save for 24/7 usable I use stock cooler UD3R board.?
Thanks for advice.:clap:
yea this is true,i have had different quirks with all my ud3p's like mch voltage using the 2.40B with one 1.0 and 2 1.1 boards.on 2 of my 1.1 boards i had the cant boot using 2.40B with strap set to 333,but on auto it boots.
last month i went throug five 1.0 boards and four 1.1 boards and 2 ud3r 1.0's and 1 1.1 ud3r's and i have to say they are each there own boards.i tested them down to two good ones and sold the rest.but still the 1.0 were the most solid ones.
yesterday i sold one of the good ones and should have my last one sold soon.
they are fun fun fun:D
anyone have a total NB failure on this board?
Today I'm browsing the internet after about 200 days without shutting down i BSOD. Then complete boot failure; pull out a stick of ram. Good to go. Put in another, down again. So I figure I lost 1 channel. Not so lucky. Using one stick I get halfway into windows boot and lock up. At this point i can't even get into bios.
Who still makes a good 775 board? I can't afford a new rig today and looks like the UD3R has been discontinued.
:(
200 days... I've had this happen (maybe?) on three separate instances where I've run hardware almost non-stop for years, and then offlined said hardware for 1-3 days. Boards affected - two MSI-9105s, one ABIT VH6T (this one ran great for 3 years straight with very little downtime, until I turned it off for 1 day.), and maybe one SOYO-6YBB (not sure on this one). All these boards were made, IIRC, during the taiwanese-capacitor-disease era. I blamed dried/crappy caps in those cases, but who knows !? I was hoping such nonsense would vanish in this mostly-solid cap era. But who knows..!? I had a solid cap blow-out already in 2010. :)

I began my OC by starting with my RAM. I was able to successfully achieve 500MHz (1000MHz) with 5-5-5-15 timings and at 1.98V.
From there I began to adjust the other settings in the bios in order to hit 4.0GHz. Here are the settings I ended up having trouble with below:

When I attempted to change the VTT nothing worked. The system wouldn't boot with VTT values between 1.2-1.3V. I ran EasyTune6 to see what the VTT was running at and it turned out to be 1.6V! 1.2-1.3V are the recommended settings and from what I read you shouldn't go higher than that. This problem stems from my RAM so I set all of my BIOS settings back to default in an attempt to find a solution to the problem. Here is the updated BIOS below:

I immediately attempted to OC my RAM to 533MHz with the VTT limited to 1.30. I started with the DRAM at 2V and the system wouldn't boot. I upped the voltage to 2.1V and the system booted to the windows welcome screen but then it would just reset itself. This happened at 2.2V as well as 2.6V.
Basically, it seems in order to enable my RAM to run at 500FSB my RAM voltage has to be turned up extremely high. I didn't feel it was safe to attempt any more than 2.26V since 1.8-1.9V are the stock values. I wasn't able to achieve a 533MHz OC.
Other Notes
I do not have the funds to purchase a new set of RAM.
I tried similar settings with all of the above numbers with the 333 latch.
Questions
How do I lower the VTT but still have the RAM run at 500FSB?
Is it safe to run the VTT at 1.6V?
Do you guys/gals have any recommendation on getting a successful boot with 533MHz?
pmacdonald,here i made some changes for you to try at 8x500
this should work for 533 fsb with your ram at 1066 too.just a matter of
finding stable vcore and vdimm

Thanks for the suggestion radaja.
I'll start this post off by saying that I'm overclocking an E8500 and not an E8400. I copied the code templates and must've forgot to change that at the top.
I tried the template you listed (radaja) and the system failed to boot up. Once I put the VTT to auto the system would start to boot up and then restart itself. The only way the system would fully boot up is if I put the MCH reference setting on auto. It seems that with the settings above or my previous settings the MCH reference and VTT are untouchable or else my system won't boot.
In EasyTune6 with the above my VTT is still shown at a whopping 1.6 which isn't right. I know this is due to my RAM but I'm not sure why. My MCH reference shows around 0.67 in EasyTune with those settings.
One thing I'd like to note is that when I turn XMP to disable my stock timings listed for the RAM change from 4-4-4-12 to 5-5-5-15.
After all this testing I was pretty confident to assume that my problems all reside between the RAM, the high FSB, the VTT, and the MCH reference.
I decided to change my multiplier to 9.5x and to lower the FSB to 422 (4GHz). I used the settings below:
With the above settings the computer booted up and didn't seem sluggish at all. I immediately went into EasyTune and saw that the VTT was at the default 1.2V and the MCH reference was at 0.760. I decided to limit the both the MCH reference and VTT to those settings in the BIOS to see if the computer would boot and it did.Code:E8500 422 X 9.5 4000MHz F10 BIOS

So the high FSB and overclocked RAM is what is causing my system to shoot the VTT up to 1.6V. I want to push this system to the max and only be limited by my temps but the high VTT is standing in the way.
How do I keep the VTT down but still increase my RAM speed? The minimum I need my RAM running at is 1000MHz for a 500FSB. I'm sure a new set of DDR3 RAM would solve the problem but frankly I want to figure out why my current set is causing such a high VTT.
dont use auto when OCing.i dont think vtt is your problem.
it really has nothing to do with ram.its voltage for higher fsb(fsb term voltage)
with the voltages i gave mch ref should be showing up as 0.70 in ET6.but maybe
your board dont like mch ref at 0.70v so set my voltages again but set mch ref
one notch lower so it reads 0.730 with vtt at 1.28v.
also you might not be giving your ram enough vdimm for 1000MHz.these boards undervolt
so 1.98v is actually 1.96v

Thanks a ton radaja. I've found out why my previous settings weren't working.
I loaded up your settings exactly as you had them and my system booted fine. I then started to set the values back to the one's I originally had one by one to find out where I went wrong. Each of the settings worked at my previous values until I got down to the final two that were left to change.
The last two I was testing was the CPU term and the MCH reference. The problem I was having is because of the approach I tried to take. I set everything on auto and adjusted each of the settings one by one.
This is where I realized what had went wrong. I set the CPU term to 1.28 and the MCH ref to 0.75. I then set the CPU term to auto and the MCH ref immediately changed to 0.953 which coincidently is where the MCH ref is when the CPU term is at 1.6 which is what EasyTune was originally showing me.
The problem I had when I tried to set the MCH ref to 0.750V and leave the CPU term on auto is that the CPU term would want to shoot itself up to 1.6V but the MCH ref would be stuck at 0.750V so the system wouldn't boot.
Now I just need to optimize the system by running it through Prime95 for awhile and then I'll attempt to lower my voltages. Then I'll try to overclock my system to its limits.
great to hear.keep us posted and if you need any help were here:D
ive used this template for all my 10+ UD3P's ans many e8400 and e8500's
and it always seems to work.except one board that had issues and i RMA'ed
it and the new one worked great.
so like you said now start working the voltages down.
Well I'm back already... The 4.0GHz was stable for 3 hours so I attempted to bump the multiplier up 0.5x to 8.5x500 / 4.25GHz. I've had no luck so far.

I'm not sure what settings I need to change. Any help would be appreciated.
Note: The original template used was the one posted above by radaja.
well if the first template at 8x500 worked for 3hrs then its just a matter of vcore for 8.5x500@4250,you will just need to increase until its stable.it might be more than your willing to do or temps might get out of control.but by upping the multi its just vcore you need to worry about
That's what I thought at first. I went up to 1.425v and thought that at 4.25GHz that should be plenty. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...05132&page=119 pangingIII hit 8.5x500 with only 1.375v here...hmm
EDIT: I just raised the VCore to 1.45v and still got the same error almost immediately. I'm not sure what to make of this since like you said, simply increasing the VCore should be enough.
every cpu is different.they all have different stock vcore(vid) you can see what yours is by running coretemp
Below is what I'm currently running in BIOS and it's been stable thus far (Prime95 blend for one hour). I'm working on optimizing some settings and am looking for some advice.
When I try to put the vcore at 1.35 the system starts up and it even lets me into windows but I get an error in prime95 after about 2min. (rounding error)
Is there a way to adjust my CPU term and MCH core so that I can lower my vcore? I've seen people in the e8400/e8500 thread run their chips at 4GHz with a vcore of 1.27v.
Something tells me that my CPU term and MCH core aren't optimally set because when I just bump up the multiplier 0.5x my system isn't stable even with an increase in vcore to 1.425v. That seems excessive for 4.25GHz.

run coretemp and tell us what the vid is.sometime cpu ref can help with a slight drop in vcore
but like i said i have one E8400 that does 4.5GHz w/1.29v load and then one that needed 1.46v for 4.5GHz
each cpu is made differently and have different vids.1.33v load is about what all average vid E8400/E8500's
need.also when running lower multi's more vcore is required than running the stock vcore.
example my E8400 only needs 1.20v for 4.0GHz at 9x445@4005 but it needed 1.22v for 8x500@4000
you can try this to see what it takes for 4.0GHz using the 9.5x422@4009

Thanks, I'll give that template a try tomorrow.
My VID in coretemp is 1.25v.
I bumped up my MCH core to 1.42v to see if it would give me a stable oc at 1.35v. It was prime95 blend stable for 45min then I stopped the test.
I decided that 1.42v was too high at this speed so I set the MCH core back to 1.38v and adjusted my MCH ref to 0.770 in bios / 0.720 ET6. I'm running prime95 right now and it's past where it had failed previously. I'll give an update once it hits 45min (if it gets that far).
After this test I'm going to keep adjusting the MCH ref, MCH core, and VTT in an attempt to lower the vcore.
radaja, can you PM me some of your stable 8x500 templates so I can compare numbers?
EDIT: prime95 blend stable for 53min.
i can send you some templates for sure.
yea thats a high vid chip so 4250 might need more vcore?
what i recommend trying is 7x500@3500 with vcore set to 1.35v
in bios to rule out vcore from causing any problems.and just focus
on making sure 500fsb is stable.meaning you ref's and ram and Nb
are stable.because i just start with vtt at 1.28v and mch at 1.38v
when i get a new cpu or board.but after finding what my new cpu
likes i then start dropping vtt and mch.with 2x2GB ram i usually get
away with 1.24v vtt and 1.32v to 1.34v mch voltage.
with 2x1GB kits i only need 1.26v to 1.30v mch voltage at 500fsb
Is 1.25v really that high of a VID?
I'm finally starting to see some greater potential from this chip. After the above settings worked out I decided to change my MCH core to 1.36 (from 1.38) and MCH reference to 0.750/0.70 in ET6 (from 0.770/0.720 in ET6). I just finished running prime95 on blend for one hour and 3min with no errors. My vcore is still at 1.35v but under HWMonitor it showed only 1.31v which is a greater drop than it has been showing. I'm about to lower the vcore and run prime95 for around 45min. I still feel that I can lower both the VTT and MCH as long as I find the right ratio of MCH to MCH ref. I'll post my updated results tomorrow.
yea the good E8400/8500's with low vids are like 1.12v to 1.20v
but even my good E8400 had a vid of 1.23v so its not a rule but more a guidline
as to how high they will go on acceptable volts.but ive had a 1.25v vid E8500
that did 4.5GHz w/1.44v
Update:
I lowered my vcore to 1.325v in bios (1.30v actual) and wasn't able to get my system stable. Here is some of what I tried:
VTT: 1.24v / 1.26v / 1.24v / 1.26v / 1.26v / 1.28v
MCH: 1.32v / 1.32v / 1.34v / 1.34v / 1.36v / 1.38v
I tried the first 4 combinations with every reasonable MCH reference setting. It seems like this chip won't do 8x500 at 1.3v.
love the 775's keep on rocking! :surf:
radaja, I set my multiplier down to 7x500 to find my lowest mch / vtt setting possible like you suggested but my results don't seem right.
I ran MCH 1.30v with VTT 1.24v and MCH ref at 0.70 (ET6) for 12hrs stable in prime95 (blend).
I kept lowering the settings but everything seemed stable so I decided to turn each setting down to where I thought it would fail immediately and work my way up.
When I set my MCH to 1.10v the system set its resolution to the lowest which I was able to change back but it appeared stable.
I then set the VTT to 1.20 and the only noticeable change was that my Aero transparency settings were no longer able to be activated but it still appears stable.
I'm running Prime95 right now and I'll update later with the results but what is allowing me to have such a low VTT and MCH core?
Also, is the VTT / MCH affected only by the FSB and not the multiplier?
I'm pretty confused with these recent results as I was expecting the MCH to be able to go no lower than 1.32v and VTT 1.24v.
EDIT:
So I got these questions answered myself. I decided to go back up to 8x500 and try to optimize my vcore. The above references worked there too but when I tried to lower the vcore the system would fail after 10min. The higher vcore was just compensating for too low of a VTT and MCH value. 1.325vcore (1.3 actual) at 8x500 is not achievable with my chip. I'm still working on getting 1.33750v (1.31v actual) stable at 8x500 which I know is possible. After that I'm going to shoot for a stable OC at 9x445 to see how much the lower FSB affects my vcore. I should be able to get this done within the next two days. When I get that finished I'll try to get a stable OC at 4.25GHz and go from there.
Well I wasn't able to get 8x500 stable at 1.33750v (1.31v actual). I tried a lot of combinations of MCH/VTT to no prevail.
The most success I had was with the VTT at 1.28, MCH at 1.26, and MCH ref at 0.70v which was stable for 2 hours and 10min.
Changing the MCH ref didn't help and raising the MCH didn't help.
Bumping up the Vcore to 1.34375v (still 1.31v actual) seemed to do the trick at 1.28v VTT and 1.36v MCH with the MCH ref at 0.70v. I'm gonna wait until tonight to run a longer prime95 test on it.
It seems I don't have a golden egg here but I still feel it's safe to run this chip at 4GHz 24/7. Now it's time to push up the vcore and get this baby to 4.25GHz!
guys make sure when adjusting MCH Ref or cpu ref to do it in bios and make sure you set vtt to default 1.2 before adjusting any ref voltage. when change has been made then bring vtt back to where you had it set.
