disable extreme memory profile all together.

How can I check if it's disabled or enabled? Something like MemSet or only by benchmarking with Everest or something?

One more thing...Drive Strength Profile. What does it do exactly and are there any benefits in setting this manually instead of auto?

Isn't Thermal Monitor a good thing to have enabled since it protects the CPU from damage due to overheating?

If you benchmark under disabled and then under enabled and compare that to your results on auto you should be able to detect what the auto setting is doing.

I usually set the drive strength profile to the level that covers my memory overclock. If I am trying to run 1100mhz ram then I set to the 1200OC level. I am not exactly sure what it does and I have not got the anwser from anyone yet about it.

Got my new P45 UD3P after fighting with a busted open box P5Q-E from the 'Egg, so far so good. Updated to F8F beta bios and bumped a few things... Ram is at 1105Mhz (GSkill 8800). NB volts are 1.16v

**turbotrey** · 03-03-2009, 06:42 PM

Anyone have E8400 settings? I'm stuck around 3780 but haven't changed my ref's yet.

**neo mike** · 03-03-2009, 06:56 PM

This board dont run sli does it ? thought it ran crossfire, i saw system vipers pc mark scores, and is running 2 nvidia 295s

The original settings that hoss posted with coop's tweaks didn't boot either, BUT i used ET6 to oc to 3.6 and it booted and ran fine!

Shall I post up what it set everything to by default for that run and see where its causing this?

**radaja** · 03-03-2009, 07:12 PM

anybody know how to check RMA status with gigabyte? i had to send my board in to repair and i cant seem to figure out how to check the status.a phone # or some online site would help out.

Please do

I haven't used ET to overclock, and I'm really interested in how it
does it.
Thank you
I have heard that it will do a stable overclock pretty good. I would like to see the voltages that it uses.

Hey radaja, that's why you're absent from the thread! I bet you miss your board!

Well today it's all done thru the website, you can check status there:

Very nice, however I've personally found the F4 and F4Pi BIOS the best for 45nm quads

Might want to give them a spin.

**radaja** · 03-03-2009, 07:40 PM

jor3lBR,this new dfi UT-P35-T2R is a great board for duallies and its holding me over nicely but GOD YES i miss the hell out of my UD3P.im selling my E8500 so i just installed my 9650 in the dfi and it is quite hard to get it going so far 450x9 is as far as ive gotten.I JUST WANT MY UD3P BACK NOW.ps,thanks for the link

That site wont update and they wont send you an email letting you know they received it or when they ship it back

But if you call them they have the status on it and will give you a tracking number if/when it has been shipped.

Gigabyte (626)854-9338, I think option 2 or 4

It came with F6 but so far F8F has been better to me. If I run into issues I'll try F4. What were you able to do with F4 that was giving you problems with the newer bioses? Higher Fsbs? Stability?

**radaja** · 03-03-2009, 08:10 PM

speedeuphoria,thanks for the phone#.

DFI needs the GTL shown as % rather than those numerical values, and CPU/NB clock skew, if it had those options your 9650 would be no match for it

**Demo** · 03-03-2009, 08:21 PM

Im planning on getting this mobo, would this increase the max OC on my Q6600 ?

Currently i can do 3.2Ghz (400*8 ) with 1.335v bios or 3.4Ghz (425*8) at 1.415v bios, 3.6is bootable and semi-stable at 1.5xx vbios

**pangingIII** · 03-03-2009, 08:22 PM

what's happened with your board, radaja?

**radaja** · 03-03-2009, 08:27 PM

not really sure,it started first by not recognizing my harddrive at random then it just stopped booting.Shiranui-Gen-an,your right,but i think im getting the hang of it now.my quad seems to like 110/112/108 for a vtt of 1.37.

^^^ These settings DO boot (& its stable) @ 3.6, and i'm reading 1.30 vcore in windows

I set all the last one's to all disabled like all of you have, and it didn't work (that was the only change to the above settings).

I'm going to try upping it a bit more (3.8 maybe) and see if it'll boot with those enabled

EDIT:
Same settings above, except multi @ 9.5 (9.5 x 400 = 3.8) and boots & runs fine. Seems to be adjusting fine as far as voltages go. vcore is around 1.33

sorry it was my mistake, at the beginning I set the “DRAM Timing Selectable” to manual, but that caused problems, tried to change various settings but nothing worked! so I left it at auto.

now I discovered that when it was at manual it was like this:

Code:

CAS Latency Time...............[ 5    ].........[ 5     ]
tRCD...........................[ 5    ].........[ 5     ]
tRP............................[ 5    ].........[ 5     ]
tRAS...........................[ 15   ].........[ 5     ]

corrected it and everything is running smoothly now

at this moment my “DRAM Performance Control” is:

Code:

Performance Enhance.............................[ Turbo ]
Extreme Memory Profile (XMP)....................[ Auto  ]
(G) MCH Frequency Latch.........................[ 333   ]
System Memory Multiplier........................[ 2.40B ]
Memory Frequency   ..............1066...... ......1020
DRAM Timing Selectable..........................[ Manual]

first it was like this

Code:

Performance Enhance.............................[ Turbo ]
Extreme Memory Profile (XMP)....................[ Auto  ]
(G) MCH Frequency Latch.........................[ 400   ]
System Memory Multiplier........................[ 2.0D  ]
Memory Frequency   ..............1066...... ......890
DRAM Timing Selectable..........................[ Manual]

then I tried to follow what PortCitySlim said and what i was in the link I mentioned to higher my ram frequency.

2.4 multiplier wasn’t available when latch is @ 400, but it was @ latch 333 (and came with the letter B not D)

i'm thinking of giving 2.5 a shot to bring the frequency a little bit higher than 1066 since my memory voltage now is set to 2.1 (which my shallow knowledge gives me a feeling that my current frequency doesn’t require it

)

@PortCitySlim: you encouraged me to the 3600 idea and that’s what I did

but at lower voltages than you mentioned, I even managed to pass prime95 at less vcore but left it at 1.25 (in bios) since it’s already too low

The first thing that catches my eye is your MCH/DRAM Reference. I would adjust this to 1.050 like your channel A/B reference. These settings I gave you last night for 2.1v RAM are exactly the same settings that Hoss331 is using for his overclock stability and they are passing 8+ hour Prime95 blends. I use a lower ram voltage but it lowers down easily enough, for every .02v you lower your RAM you will notice that the reference for that lowers .01v. I am at 2.00v RAM and a 1.000 reference.

Leaving your CPU TM and No-Execute might not cause you problems(I used to run with them enabled). But remember down the line when you try a blend/OCCT RAM large ftt packet test that disabling these can sometimes solve buggy instability problems.

Setting your performance enhance to turbo might not improve your performance overall, after tweaking you might get better settings to boot on standard. I would say that you should start with Standard and after your finished tweaking everything see if you can run on Turbo. My RAM settings are exactly as follows...

And this is what I get when I run Everest....

Does anyone know whether separate NB watercooling is an option?

Or does the whole sink needs to be removed thus the MOSFET's need an extra cooler too?

Thank in advance,

Thank in advance,

you can take off the NB and heatpipe hold the MOSFET's HS and hold the heatpipe and twist heatpipe it and it should pop lose, i did it with mine and it worked need to take off the v-card to slide out the heat pipe
