Does anyone have any ideas how I could mount a 92mm fan to cool my NB?

[pangingIII]

Sorry, it is about a comparison between Maximus II Formula and UD3P.
Please read post #1337.

okay i just finished reading your posts, i myself not able to write and read good english, it looks like yours is much better.

anyway, it seems like you want to compare board to board, also seems like you want to know into detail. and i say it also seems like you want to discredit just about every things about UD3's P45 board and everyone's idea of having to happen to own and/or about to own one of this UD3's P45 board.
so i think if you're my real world friends i would give or buy you one of these board since it will be much easy for you to have the another board (that you want to compare it with) with you,
and you will have plenty of time to work with your project and have plenty of information to write and to tell the world about what you found out on this UD3's P45 board.

Is there any way to get this board to a higher FSB with a quad without insanely high VTT?

And what is this board doing on auto.

I cannot get thing remotely stable or even to POST at a high FSB unless i use most everything auto.

Here's what i just did.

Q9550 @ 7x477 (way below it's max OC)
1.4vcore
AUTO VTT (ET6 reads 1.5)
AUTO CPU reference (ET6 reads 0.76)
1.59pll
AUTO MCH everything (ET6 reads as 1.2)
AUTO MCH reference (ET6 reads as 0.76)

It runs P95 blend stable, & IBT 5 passes stable.

So i go into BIOS & change VTT to 1.5 manual + GTL to 0.76 (both values same as being reported AUTO), & the damn board cannot POST.

So wtf magic is AUTO doing?
I don't want to be pumping 1.5vtt into my chip...i only needed 1.34v on my P5Q-D.

I assume ET6 is reading things wrong...

Any ideas would be great.

Hey n7 try jor3lBR's template, worked wonders for me. Only thing i changed was memory to 1:1 and set to to 4-4-4-12 pl9. I'm using a little lower vcore also. (1.40 bios 1.36 windows) I primed for 8hrs overnight no errors.

Hi Guys,

Decided to bench on AIR with a normal priced air cooler (below$35) to keep peoples hopes up on this amazing cpu.

All low volts for people that want 24/7 use: 1.376vcore, 1.400vtt, 1.57pll, 1.40vnb, 1.20vsb (except ram that I needed more juice to keep tight timings and 5:6 strap).

Hope this helps Q9650 and Gigabyte UD3P users!

I just ordered a kit of gskill 2x2 9600's to replace these gskill cl4 8000's.
I can hardly wait for them to arrive. I moved from a TRUE to a good CPU only water loop yesterday and i know with good memory i can maybe get 4600mhz+ 24/7. Max temps now at 1.4bios 1.36windows Small FFT after 4 hours was 60c on all 4 cores.

Thanks again for the template.

[systemviper]

Nice job with that Q9650, 4.4 @ 1.36, you gotta love that! Nice monster system, it's gonna rock especially with that GTX295, not much gonna get in your way!

Nice work! What bios are you using?

Thanks Nugzo I decided to set down a bit to help people with AIR. So I had fun trying to figure out best stable options for 45nm Quads.

No problem mate I'm glad I could help.

I'm afraid this board is not optimized for 2 sticks of 4Gb I'm having a hell of a deal to get my G.Skills runing smoth above 500fsb 1200+.

Hopefully I have a bad ram because I expect more from it. Give me a reply if you have luck with those rams and no MCH volt bug because I have it with 2 sticks of 2Gb's but not with 1Gb's.

[SpeedEuphoria]

Nob question...How do I post my bios setting template like everyone else is doing?

Just quote someones post that has the template in it, then highlight and copy(right click) the template including the code:, paste(right click) into a new post and then edit in your settings

[Jor3lBR]

Guys justa reminder of golden rule to stability on this board (at least for Quads).

MCH Reference has to be above default at least one or two 'houses'. And CPU Ref 1 lower for 45nm Quads.

Set VTT to Default 1.20v then CPU Ref and MCH Ref to their defaults. Set your desired VTT and after that raise the MCH Ref one time or two.

Keeping the default will give you Memtest #7 errors on Ram and then instability.

[1nsane]

I tried to get the max. Fsb out of my RAM OCZ Reaper 1066 rev.3.
Every thing above this 535 FSB results in Errors in the Memtest.
I also tried to get pl9 to run but this results in a no boot situation.
Has any one advice for me,

This is the situation in vista with a long mem test in this settings.


and this is what ET6 shows with these settings


I got a prime large run 3h which shows no errors @ 545 but memtest -> error

[Jor3lBR]

I tried to get the max. Fsb out of my RAM OCZ Reaper 1066 rev.3.
Every thing above this 535 FSB results in Errors in the Memtest.
I also tried to get pl9 to run but this results in a no boot situation.
Has any one advice for me,

I don't know if it will work for Dual Cores but read my post above and redo your CPU Ref and MCh Ref for that 1.22vtt.

Those might be the reason you are getting Memtest Errors.

[1nsane]

I always need a lower mch ref to get a boot. Every thing above 0.76 will result in a no boot or errors in apps in windows. I think this is a problem with the ud3r

[BuGjAE]

I have exact same problem with you, MCH ref is a big problem in UD3 for C2D and cannot got certain stability, I can go test prime no error above 2 Hrs with 533x8 E8600 for proper ET6 voltage that should be (Mch ref 0.70)
but once again I go restart computer and then go test in desktop I have got instability with same voltage setting I do in previos......damm
I see many people got success stable with Quadcore 45 nm ,may C2D can't go above high FSB or..... we need to wait new BIOS

[pangingIII]

@Jor3lBR

on your post #1383.
you quoted wrong person or something, i was never writing the comment that you quoted.

[-n7-]

Well, seems this board is pretty nice for 2x2 once you figure out GTLs.

But very ty for 4x2 GB.

I got 8x485 running P95 Blend just fine once i got lucky with the GTLs.

I was pretty happy, since that means i can do over 4 GHz, depending on how much voltage i am willing to put into my Q9550.
(8.5x471+ stable as per CPU volts).

But then i put back my other 2x2 GB (identical kits, just took one out to test initially).

And with 4x2 GB, things went to crap.
Cannot even POST past 465 with the 2.00D ratio/strap.

If i switch to 2.00B i can POST higher than that, but so far, cannot get over 467 in P95 Blend w/o errors.

I've upped VTT/MCH to 1.4v, but still instant errors.
It's not the RAM either; it can do DDR2-1050+ stably, & i've even tried Memtest86+ to be sure; it's more than fine.

Seems NB is crapping out w/ 8 GB...?

[1nsane]

I finally got the pl9 to boot within 535fsb. I changed strap from 2.00B->2.00D. But when i reboot it makes the on-off move and resets the OC settings. maybe i need 2 adjust pll or mch.

Update a termination v 1.26 solved it i also changed Mch/Dram ref 0.89 but no stability tests yet

[Jsunn]

Hello All,

The following settings give me a BSOD before entering Windows:
I am using BIOS F7c
Now, if I just change the the FSB to 400 and manualy enter my RAM timings and keep everything else on auto. I can boot into Windows and am prime stable for 3 hours...?
What do you think?

i personally never think these UD3P/R boards overvolt the vdimm settings so i never checked it with a DMM, but this mostly because one of my friend has already checked it and told me back when we first got our first boards.

as for vdimm voltage that are reported by software, which i use Everest's or ET6's HW monitor,
one of my UD3R has, for example, if i set vdimm 2.28V at bios i will see during idle in Windows 2.26xxV,
but my another UD3R will be 2.30V in Windows. and since i believe the boards don't overvolt the vdimm settings i really don't concern much on the real vdimm voltage value.

I was wondering about the vdimm voltage too. I set bios for 2.00v but in windows its like 1.91v I thought about raising the voltage then though why. I have no instability issues.

I just woke up, stop priming and got this on my Maximus II Formula.
Anyway, can some of you guys with quads help on the comparison?

quadcore 500FSB
7h prime blend + 20 IBT loops on max stress

Hi Simps,

I'll give you what you want. I never tried that 500x7 cause it's a piece of cake for this board, but maybe I'm wrong

I'm pretty confident the UD3P can beat the Asus not only in Stability but Memory Speeds using the same timmings and instead of those volts I will try less VTT and less Vcore and another thing I will do it with 4Gb Kit not 2Gb's.

Give me some time today (yay for Dr. Martin King)

Does anyone have any ideas how I could mount a 92mm fan to cool my NB?

I'd like to know too. I gave in a put an antec spot cool pointing at mine for now.

Best way to air cool the NB with the stock HS is to first take that ridiculus heat blokling sink out, use a hairdryer to warm up the double sided tape then carefully start removing it.

Then all you need is 2 little 40x20mm CoolJag's blowing that area. Bigger then that I think iot will hit your CPU HS.

hmm the different is quite large, mine are like 1.98 or 2.02 in Windows for bios set 2.0v
not sure about rev. 1.1 boards, or the rest of boards that i don't own for that matter.

besides it's just like that for your particular board, softwere program that you use for the monitoring,
not sure whether or not power supply effects this.

it should be easily running esp with a higher multi cpu like your Q9650.
