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

[Pt1t]

Great info in the thread mate!!
I will give my E8400 and EP45T-Extreme LN2 action soon
Thanks for the BIOS too

@ Thomas, what VTT were you pushing on EP45-Extreme?? My Xtreme board can do 570FSB boot with 1.36V and ET6 makes 590 possible nothing higher. Same chip does 590 in Ep45-DS3R and 610 with ET6/set-FSB :s

VTT 1.65v for 666 . But it s DDR2 board, maybe it s different with DDR3 version.

[Harshal]

^^ Thanks man. I have both versions of extreme with me. That is a bit scary VTT.. but I think 610 is boring so will try to push :P

[thriller99]

Hi all ! With Intel P45 chipset, i see almost need more CPU VTT n PLL voltage ! Is there problem of giga P45 mobo or Intel P45 chipset ???

[Vivi]

Not more, only the right balance

[zbogorgon]

any idea where to get new bioses, f3b ?

[Harshal]

Ygpm

[splmann]

I also have some Problem with the DDR3 Extrem Board to reach high fsb . Under Cascade i only can do fsb 570 Mhz ??? Bios F3b i also tested with F2 but no luk .

Bootscreen i can do Fsb 640 but no change to go into Windows .

[redratamd]

I hope to have no big probleme with this mobo and Kingston HyperX .
Just big FSB.

Are you using 1 stick or 2 sticks of RAM? That will make a big difference in FSB terms.

[thriller99]

Not more, only the right balance

a lot of CPU VTT will kill CPU, right ???

To all : What's a trouble with memory performance, i got a very random performance when change Perfomance Level option !

[T_M]

To all the people clinging to this "high VTT will kill your CPU (because i read a thread of a thread of a thread that someone i have heard of has killed a CPU and seems to believe it was VTT responsible", so far there have been absolutely zero reported dead CPU's from using these high VTT on these P45 boards so far. Food for thought.

Im not saying its not true, but with over 50hrs benching at these high VTT on P45 im not convinced

yeap... me too benching with high VTT 20+ hrs on EP45 Extreme DDR2 version and no dead processor so far... im talking about 1.64v VTT here and never under 1.4v..

[TheKarmakazi]

T_M is the only difference between the GA-EP45T-DS3R and GA-EP45T-Extreme the watercooled northbridge? Or does the EP45T-Extreme have better caps/etc

edit: Nevermind I can see just from looking at pics the DS3R has totally different socket area.

[thriller99]

Ya ! Can anybody setting 1T option for memory ?? Or 3T ^_^ !

I only have 1 one option "2T" !

[T_M]

AFAIK the 1T setting hasnt been fixed yet, but i havent tried any BIOS higher than f3b yet...

[boblemagnifique]

i recieved the P45T-Extreme but i need going today , i test i think this week end

[Nosfer@tu]

If only Gigabyte had a Mailing list or could upload them like Foxconn as betas.

It is not so cool that one has to ask for new bios instead of receiving it

[NightRaven]

i'm sure to be putting that suggestion through

asking for bioses takes a long time. even longer to get here when we could get it ourselves.

[redratamd]

There was nobody when the deliverer came home.
I hope find the P45T-Extreme this evening at my back.
But I've no good memory ,just Pc10666 gskill for test some FSB boot.
Normally , Pc14400 is in delivery.

Edit : @home

Edit 2: First boot 500Mhz ,jump to 611Mhz with Set FSB
full air cooling.
Strap 400Mhz
Ram 1:1 my Gskill
Vcore 1.25V
Vdimm 1.55V 9-9-9-25
Others on Auto.

Edit 3 : 665MHz of FSB & 650MHz SPi 1Mo

Why has the DDR3 Version no CPU Reference options in the bios,like EP45-DQ6 or EP45 Extreme?

[toddm27]

it does, they're just hidden, hit ctrl - f1 from the main bios screen, then they'll appear

[jooney]

Are you sure?I know this option from older GB Boards but here nothing happens.
Thats what i can see,it looks like i can scroll more down but there is nothing.
Flashing one more time f3b and back to f2 but makes no difference.

[toddm27]

I'll double check on my board tonight, pretty sure they show up

[jooney]

But why not here

[T_M]

Advanced clock control section is the closest you'll get atm
