WIN Q6600 G0: guess my scores on GIGABYTE EP45-UD3

7.011

Small update. Board #1 had some issues (FSB related). Not sure what but it wouldnt boot into XP over ~500 FSB. Received 2nd board today and with same hardware & settings it boots for the 1st time at 6x600 right away :)

As other UD3P boards it needs high VTT for FSB. Set 1.54vtt & 1.40vcore in bios for fast tests on crappy air HSF. LLC disabled. Not spi 1M bios yet :D

FSB:

Thanks mate. Bios is very fast in 1M but 12 sec at 4ghz should be rather easy. I think average (untweaked) efficiency for simular setups is about 46500 / 4000mhz = 11.625 for 1M.

Started insulating the board today:

Looking good so far! Good luck with the LN2 run.

I suck at these kind of things but my guess is: 6.837. Just a slight improvement of your current WR:D

I get around 11.6 secs or just below 11.6 secs at 500x8 and DDR2-1000 4-4-4-8 TRFC 25 and PL7 or DDR2-1200 5-5-4-10 TRFC 25 PL8 on my P35-DS4. With Abit IP35 Pro board I had ~11.4 or just below that at same RAM configs I specified above but the board was a lot more unstable for me too.

So to me the BIOS looks quite fast, nothing groundbreaking, so it seems like the default Gigabyte bioses for this board has to be really uber slow (not like Gigabyte has ever produced some really fast bioses anyways) then if you think this bios is very fast. But that's just my opinion of course. Plz break 7 secs for us at least. :D

Since I'm still slightly interested in these UD3 boards, does hicookie's bios only work for the UD3 model or for all UD3, P and R models?

6.922

It's only Gigabyte :D

6.987 ; just my guess :up:
