I experienced that the UD3P is a really good board for FSB and memory overclocking, but for some reason, it is really unstable, and refuses to go through the Superpi 4M on higher FSB..:shrug:

Still Gigabyte did a great job on this one! :up:
I hope to get in the top-5, and can participate in the swedish finals.. whould have been real nice! :)

good job ...

keep pushing it and GL in the competition

Congrats on the WR ( highest validated FSB )

Insane FSB, good work! :up:

Love the UD3P, Great FSB!

wow people just keep pumping the results out with this board.... great work indeed

Very nice result.
I have this board too, damn good.

Αwesome FSB, great mobo!!!

Very nice FSB my friend. Rather big difference between screen and 4M though. I hope its good enough for next round Henry, impressive :up:

Nice!

Just a quick question, GOOC?

Gigabyte open overclocking championship

Really loving what these boards can do. :up: High FSBs and high RAM overclocking capability and for this price. :D And it's not one or two but many people are having great OCs with them.

try adjust vMCH/Ref (MCH GTLREF)
and notice vMCH/Ref needs to track vTT(vFSB)
like my example, vTT 1.2v, i give vMCH/ref 0.68v
this one just normal air cooling ,and low vtt

Great Job, hope you make to the finals, you the man :up:

Fantastic job :up:
Damn, great
715 Mhz @ 1:1

What about vDIMM, vTT, vMCH? :)

daym, very nice! :toast:
whats the max 3d stable fsb?

That's a very good clocking there, Me4Me, keep on pushing it higher! :up:

Very good FSB man, highest i have seen yet. I think u have a good CPU too...

amazing you got FSB ...:up::up:

Nice job ME4ME! and congrats again:)

thanx for the friendly commants :)

@ Hicookie, i see you changed your MCH Reference from 0.65 to 0.68..

but for me, it actually got worse when highering MCH Reference.
I lowered it instead, and got better results! 0.62 was really the sweetpot for me ;)

Very nice FSB ME4ME... Good luck at the competition :up:

insane FSB!!!!

Wow man :clap: nicely done .:eek:

one hell off a fsb Great Job :up:

Wow, very awesome for such a budget mobo, well done congratulations!

i got some good news today. Im in the top-5, and made it to the Swedish finals, that will me hold next friday in Stockholm! :yepp:

So will I (pretty much thanks to the fact I was to the finals last time, probably... My results were awful, and I didn't really bother. :P

Huge FSB though, good one.

Very nice ME4ME...:up:
What the EP45-UD3R max FSB records?:confused:

great job me4me! congrats! ;)
which revision of the board? 1.0 or 1.1?

i reached 620mhz with e8400 on air @ environment temp :)
i think both the boards can reach same frequencies

Hehe than you're a lucky man :p:
Will be nice to bench with/against you guys ;)

@Simone18, my board is revision 1.0 if i remember correct :)

thanks dude ;)
i've asked cause i've heard about lots of problems with the new revision, 1.1
some friends can't even reach 450 fsb...

WOW

Awesome Score man

nice FSB you got there...:up:

the board comes more popular than i thought....guess it does have great OCing...i need to try this board sometimes :D

guess it does have great OCing

for sure!
i bought it with no doubt...

The UD3P is a great overclock board for sure!

but if i schould chose 1 P45 board, i would still pick the Biostar P45 ;)
The UD3P is a better memory clocker, but the Biostar has better stability, little bit better FSB, and quite alot better with max/clocks..:)

Still, this depands on how much luck you have, and how good your sample is

I used to have a T-power I45 and it wasn't a great one i guess bad luck

Wow, Oh my that is some crazy FSB on Spi 4M!

so , you say at equal sample tpower p45 > ud3p/r?
soon i'm gonna try a t-power with q9550 and some friends bringing different ram kits...if it is so, i'm gonna buy biostar to clock it to death ;)

Well done. A very High FSB with the UD3P. This mobo is really fantastic.

PS: Ciao Simo!:D

Fa sure that' howsome mate congrats :up:

Gat mine comin' soon but in T version, so would it be same performer or not ? (my 8600 and PC16000 BallistiX sticks)

Guess it would be...not very lucky those days with my HW ^^ (constantly sellin' everything)

Check this review if you haven't already:

http://i4memory.com/f90/gigabyte-ep4...-review-12477/

The board seems to be ok, but not as good as the UD3P DDR2 version is.

Best of luck with it if you go ahead and grab one.

Best 775 board around :yepp:

Congrats :up:

Nice fsb man!:toast: Keep up the good work !

Awesome FSB:clap: But the NB colder than the CPU:rofl::ROTF: Cool action:cool:
