Gigabyte, your board rock !! your bios don't !!
Overclock and loose S3
don't clock and get S3 feature ...
I don't want to choose !!!!

I would gladly settle for 100-200MHz lower OC and fully working computer than this. :mad:

xbiusx, my mems for that were Crucial 8500. An early or older set now. I have some KHX8500 that are almost as good and I used them together with the 4x1gb screen. I just got them and they were only 49.00 But I even beat that, la couple weeks or so I got a set of Tracers for 29. (zzf) but they were 49 a week or so ago.) They are at 567 with 2.24v in my Asus. *The lights are cool.* I have a 2gb set og G.Skill 2x2 the pq ones. Have not had time to play with yet.

Thanks, I will give that a try. I really appreciate the help. I'll try tonight when I get home from work, or Thurs night. I'll report back what happened.

Well since I wasn't having any luck with the 442x9.5, I thought I would try a variation of the easytune OC of 450x9 = 4.05, which is totally stable. I thought maybe that the 9.5 multi just won't fly. So the settings I posted are the last I tried and they didn't work, really unstable and blue screens.

So basically I'm trying anything to try and get somne speed out of this board/cpu. Do you have settings or suggestions for 442x9.5? If so, I would definitely prefer that OC over 500x9, which doesn't seem to want to run anyway.

Thanks for the reply and any help, I really apprecate it.

marc

Yeah just to clarify so as not to confuse anyone.....or myself, I would like to get 442x9.5 with ram at 884 1:1. I like running ram at 1:1, but this 450x9 OC that is stable puts my ram at 1080. But if 442x9.5 isn't going to work, then some other combination to get me above 4.05, preferably to 4.2Ghz or above. I was trying that 500x9 just because it's close to 450x9 which is stable.

As I said, I know the cpu can do it becuase I had it in another board running 4.2Ghz 24/7 totally prime stable and gamed on it a bunch with no probs.

Thanks to everyone who replied, or may reply, I really appreciate it.

Because I often have to leave my computer and I don't want it to unnecessarily use electricity. It could be doing some work so I can't put it to sleep manually and/or I wan't it to be ready instantly when I come back. S3 uses less power than S1 and shuts down the fans, which is a plus during the night.

HTPC needs it even more, as I can have it in S3 while not in use and it wakes itself up when scheduled recording is due, and is instantly ready when I want to use it manually.

And even if you or I never use it, it's something that just should work! :mad:

When you wake a computer up its on your desktop almost instantly, you don't have to wait through POST and Windows loading. :up:

I never turn my computer off, I restart every couple days just to keep everything fresh, otherwise it's in use or sleeping.

S3 is teh :banana::banana::banana::banana:! :p:

And like mentioned above, it should just work. These are 1st graders supporting an enthusiast motherboard.

so now tested 550 FSB and runs very stable but the memory is at the end are not microns unfortunately

Alright I see your point :)

When I go to bed/school/work I turn my PC off.

Also I agree, it should work.

Your chip is an eo, they are all different but you should be able to get those clocks on way less voltages. Honestly I would set everything in motherboard voltage control back to normal and start your oc over. What worked for me more than anything was to set cpu termination to 1.2 then raise cpu reference and mch reference up 1 notch. After that raise the cpu termination as needed but leaving the reference voltages alone, they will increase as you raise the cpu termination. I was able to get 3.7 prime stable on stock vcore, 1.2 cpu termination .785 cpu ref. .80 mch ref., 1.24 mch. 333 strap 5:6 devider on the ram. See how high you can go on stock vcore then raise voltages as needed from that point.

these are my current voltage settings for 4.0 prime stable no LLC.
Hope that made sense.

Thanks coop but no luck, won't even boot and bios sets clocks to defaults when it finnaly comes up to bios screen. Really unstable.

what rev is your mobo ?

Hey guys, I can get my Q9550 to run 4.1GHz with 1.248v all day long, but recently I tried for 4.25GHz (8.5x500) and I can't seem to get it stable at all. I'm using BIOS F4 on a revision 1.0 board. First is my stable template, then the 2nd is the settings I'm currently trying (unsuccessfully) to reach 4.25GHz.

4.1GHz stable

Any ideas on what I need to tweak?

don't use the auto voltages for the reference volts !! you could try to lower MCH reference too

Hey guys, does anyone know if the Sunbeam Core Contact cooler will fit the UD3P? I am having problems with my old P5Q and am considering getting this board but I need to know if I can install my air cooler on it. Thanks!

I think I remember Jor3lBR using one on his.

Thanks, I just found this review about it on newegg... I am going to order one tonight from newegg $134. I am tired of my old P5Q Deluxe. I hope you guys can help me relearn to overclock this thing and my Q9650.

Quote:

If you're wondering, "Will this thing fit on NewEgg's customer choice award winning GIGABYTE EP45-UD3P motherboard?" The answer is YES! (contrary to what you've read on the internet!) but it's a mind-boggling "how did I get that to work" tight fit. You have to remove the chipset/other heatsink/heatpipe component FIRST, then install this CPU heatsink, then CAREFULLY (watch those motherboard capacitors!) slide the chipset heatsink assembly back in between the CPU heatsink and motherboard components. There's a groove in one of the heatsinks of this assembly that a part of the CCTF's bracket slides (with a little friction) miraculously into. The whole thing defies logic but works perfectly.

memory to turbo and run through prime Incidentally, I was able to play fifa 09 the settings can I'm for the everyday.

Yes it will, but on mine I took the blue HS Gigabyte name tags latter on. It will still fit with the name tags (as you can see on the pic) but it will scratch the mosfet HS a little bit:

Thinking of getting a pair a 2x1gb so I can shoot for 8.5x500fsb with mem 5-5-5-18, PL9 and 1200mhz. Right now I'm running 2x2gb Dominators 8x525fsb with mem 5-5-5-15, PL9 and 1050mhz. Is it worth the $48 bucks or will there not be much difference in Everest scores and system performance?

Did you ever get your mounting for your cryo.....

I was hoping to see you beat your own records... :up:

Performance wise (real life performance) I don't think it's worth the trouble of changing the sticks, let alone $50.

Also, I was playing around last night and comparing easytune voltages with what I would set. And I was kind of shocked, for instance if I set the easytune built in OC of 9x450 it sets the cpu termination at 1.7!! Isn't that like incedibly high?? But that OC runs totally stable!! But am is it going to fry something with it that high? Other voltages seem...ok...not really high and vcore is only 1.36 which I thought would be higher. For instance on my PQ5 deluxe board. I have to run 1.4 vcore to get my 9.5x442 OC.

Just to be reckless and see what happens since I'm kind of stuck anyway, What I think I'll do is set that 9x450 OC in easytune, then copy down all the voltages and settings, and then manually plug in those settings in bios and try to start raising fsb to see what will happens. The problem is, easytune doesn't list all the settings it changes even in advanced view. For instance it may be changing the ram drivings and other settings that it doesn't show you. Maybe I can see them in bios but I don't think so, because when I look in there after setting a built in OC, everything still says AUTO.

I dunno, something to try I guess. Maybe I'm getting desperate for a fix now.

Anyway, if you have any tips I would love to hear them, and thanks for the reply.
