    Talking [Team.AU] Gigabyte GA-EP45T Extreme - P45 DDR3 Monster

    Just got my hands on the pre-release version of Gigabyte's OCing Extreme board.
    This is the board containing as much of the goodies we've been asking for that they could pack in.



    After about 30 mins of familiarising with the BIOS and taking photos, i jumped straight into some FSB clocking
    And just like what we've come to expect from various P45 boards, this one clocks like a beast too

    645fsb on stock air, no tweaking (only 1.35V cpu, and "2.66D" RAM ratio).
    This CPU would never budge past 540fsb on X48 chipset.



    Here's some juicy photos

























    Will update further with more FSB clocking results

    Nevermind E8600, with an E8500 and this kind of FSB you can easily max out the chip finally

    Not premature, just pre-release.
    AFAIK they are still working hard on RAM clocking.

    Benny you sure you got the DDR3 version?
    That BIOS code looks weird, drop a line to the usual guys for a BIOS update.

    Nope, havent even installed windows yet.
    This was all done in 1hr after unpacking it.

    At 666fsb, the board failed totally.
    At 650fsb, the board got to POST but froze at detecting drives.
    645fsb POSTed and went into BIOS fine.

    ok i see

    i can do 630Mhz on Gigabyte P35-DS3P but windows is a different story

    i really hope we can get this kind of windows stability (i have a feeling it should be ok as bob already pushed his for validation similar to your clocks

    let us know how your RAM clocks on it as well

    maaan these boards are sooo nice ... i will do some tests with my Extreme board tonight

    I think this will be my next mobo when it comes out around here. Looks awesome. Any ideas if the Corsair 1600 C7DHX will play nice with it?

    i thought this was the chipset itself that was problematic rather than any specific board manufacturers.........
    i guess we'll find out soon when he posts some results

    Wow ,really nice mobo's look and FSB.
    There's a lot of news about voltage ( VPLL for example ) and memory settings .
    You put *.**D ram setting ? I can't boot with it on the X48-DS5 ,only *.**B for take 593MHz.
    You started @600MHz ? It's for that ,maybee .
    I wanna see 7** of FSB . I think it's possible . I hope receive quickly my EP45DQ6 or EP45-DS5 with my E8400 ( 645MHz on Commando ).
    Waiting for some very good results like usual from you

    Clocking DDR3 has been a problem for all companies using the P45, so yeah it will be interesting to see how it goes this week.

    Setting CPU Clock Drive = 800mv, CPU Clock Skew = 50ps, RAM = 2.00D allowed me to POST fine at 655fsb.



    In Windows im getting my best CPU-Z validations when I boot with the same settings above but 560fsb, then when in Windows change Performance Level in Memset from 3 to 4 (something weird going on with these values):

    630fsb using setfsb:
