** Official ** Gigabyte UD3 P45 Series -- EP45-UD3 / EP45-UD3R / EP45-UD3P

[In-Fluence]

Yeah, I only managed about 610 with my MIIF (which I was so glad to be rid of). Didn't mess around for as long with 3 of the the EP45 range, but I was guessing there'd be no FSB records hit and could post around the same. I reckon my E6300 (old type) could have gone further, but it's long gone now, ran a 100% o/c stable on that with a P5B.

[cold.nut]

got myself a UD3P to test yesterday! i had some issues with a stick of memory working, it was a dud . just running single for now until the replacement stick comes.. got to test a D9 Ballistix stick yesterday though, and I can tell you that just with a little tweaking that stick screamed!! i really like the board so far !

what's the most stable BIOS guys?

[Eeky NoX]

F10 seemed to be good for me at last session But don't know nothing about stability ain't my buisness ^^

[gugle]

F11c was with the bios and is unstable over
put the F9

Greetings,

Has anyone ever seen it when X.M.S. Profile1 is missing? Under the XMS section, I have Auto, Profile2, and Disabled. Profile1 is "missing". Does anyone have any idea why this may be?

What CPU-Z show?
Btw,
Profile1 & 2 is in the BIOS:

I have the same problem. Dunno why.

[CHaynes112]

Btw,
Profile1 & 2 is in the BIOS:

CPU-Z shows EPP #1 (there is no EPP #2). MemSet shows no EPP #1, but it does show EPP #2, just like BIOS?

I see 'm411b' has the same issue as well...?!

[CHaynes112]

stasio,

I downloaded Award BIOS Editor 1.0 and opened the BIOS file. I get a few errors at load and when I go to the System BIOS - Setup Menu (like in your pic), all I see is Page 1, Page 2, etc. (with all kinds of funky characters).

I re-downloaded ABE and the ROM file, and even tried it on a second PC. Still get the funky characters?!

Need some help guys. I got a USB3P and I'm having issues with ram clocks. No matter what timings/volts I use they won't run any faster than 1200Mhz or I can't get it to boot. I got G. skill PI's the 1600Mhz CL6 version. I also can't get them to run anything tighter that CL9 (9-9-9-24). I've tried upping the volts to 1.64v and no luck. I'm working on a E8600 and got it to 4.5Ghz but the lack of bandwidth is killing some of my scores. Can anyone help me

Post your BIOS settings so we can get an idea of where you're at now.

Recently I transfer my parts to a new case and then my problem starts from here. The problem is that my motherboard Gigabyte P45 UD3P rev 1.1 can no longer boot with 2 sticks of ram. I own this board over 2 years already and this time I just can't get it to boot no matter what I did, clear CMOS, unplugging the power cord. As right now I am booting on the first DIMM slot and both ram is working.

At first I thought it was the ram so I RMA the ram, but today got the new ram same problem acting out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Did you remove the ram from the board or handle the ram in any way while do this? I would suspect a possible short some where. I would try remove the mother board from the case and try out side the case. If it works then you have a short some where. If it dont then try a 24/hr cmos reset via jumper with the batter remove along with power supply disconnected from the motherboard. On start up make sure you load optimized defaults Press "F10" to save and reboot. Renter the bios and check again.

[nullface]

How much voltage do you guys use for 500FSB (24/7 usage)?

[docwhom]

I thought I'll post here amongst Gigabyte P45 series fanatics, and I do not mean to deride or cast any ill-informed assumptions. Just that you lot know all there is to know about these series of boards.

Here goes, I currently have a GA-EP45T-UD3P rev.1.0, which I have used successfully with an older version Q9650 cpu. I have updated to the latest bios version "F8c" which worked nicely with the Q9650.

I came across a newer Q9550S cpu, and I have tried to use it in the motherboard, but the board acts like, what-the-hell, get outa here, routine. The cpu is un-recognised, and it won't drop down in power usage, even though I have selected everything correctly in the bios.

I just looked on their cpu support website, and low and behold, they state support for a weird Q9505S series but no mention of my Q9550S baby, what gives????

My new Q9550S is totally supported by all of your series P45 boards, but my motherboard shows no bios support for my chip, I would like to know why. Also, is there any possibility of getting a bios (hacked or otherwise) that will see my Q9550S and use it to it's full potential.

Please, anyone, I do not want to lay down more money to buy a P67/Z68 board plus chip. I just need to use what I have in possession.

[acebmxer]

I dont know where you check the supported cpu list but I see Q95505S is support see here

You need bios F7 to support the cpu

[docwhom]

I dont know where you check the supported cpu list but I see Q95505S is supported

Acebmxer, thank you for supplying me with a support quote to Gigabytes cpu section.

This is the one I use to check support for my board;

http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/...aspx?pid=2936#

And when you select "CPU Support List" it shows no mention of a Q9550S anywhere.

I am now downloading the F7 bios and will re-flash to see if the cpu is properly recognized.

There are also some Beta Bios's floating around, if the F7 fails, I might try them as well.

[acebmxer]

I would recommend using the latest beta bios F11d as that is the latest bios and with out a doubt it will support your cpu.

BIOS F8l (13.October 2010) is latest beta,for your board (F8c on Giga web site).

TweakTown has F11d and its great, or at least i don't have any problems with it.

BTW, is 1.36V normal for 500FSB on the 1.0 UD3P?

All depends on what chip you are using, but for the most part yes.

[cold.nut]

hitting a FSB wall above 547MHz. is this common for the UD3P? i thought this board was supposed to break 550MHz quite easily! currently on F3 bios.

[CHaynes112]

Greetings,

I find mention of a F14 BIOS for the EP45-UD3R on several sites, but can only seem to find F13e. Does anyone know where to find F14?

-Thanks

[omegatotal]

so I recently got this board and cpu, ran it stock for a long time and then finally got around to OC'ing it. I am having a high piched noise come and go while running IntelBurnTest 2.53 and Folding@home. and one time I was hibernating/sleeping the machine and I heard it from across the room right before it powered off. when I powered back on it failed to load the hiberfile.sys...

so I am curious, has anyone had any experiences with this board similar to mine, does anyone think it could be a sign that I am pushing the cpu to hard and its drawing too much power for this board?
