whats the highest i wanna go on the MCH Core for 24/7 ? the NB is on water

whats the highest i wanna go on the MCH Core for 24/7 ? the NB is on water

For daily use?

1.4v and lower.
For benching I've gone also at 1.7v. But I advice to you to set max 1.55v on Northbridge.

[simoorta]

I have a UD3P 1.1 and it will run 500fsb with my dominator D9's at 5:6. Either your actual board is bad or (more likely) something in you settings is not correct...

I'm sure that I set all correctly.

yeah looking for daily use i know how to oc but this is a new mobo and stuff i never used in the bios before lol like do the reference help alot ?

I'm italian, so I can't help you enough because of my bad english.xD

[stingush]

hi, wanted to ask, im searching for the best bios for the UD3P... but i see there are already 2 revisions of this board... i think mine is 1.0 but i cant see any diffrence in bios versions... seems like its the same bios...
can anyone put some light on this subject?

[Supershanks]

if the revision is the same as the UD3R it's the heatpipes that have changed, board is unchanged.

[DOM.]

the revisions is on the mobo also on the corner where the pci slots are

All you ud3p gurus, im building a system for a friend with this board, i have e8400 i want about 3.6 stable, about 1100 mgz on the ram, i need to know what voltages you recomend ? mch ? all that good stuff, just a good starting point would be nice, i dont have time to spend days playing with this thing, thanks.

you can try my voltages

[coop]

My bios settings for the 2gb @4500 P95. It took many attempts trying to figure it out. It seems the most critical ones are the ref. ones. I tried to get the lowest voltages possible with vcore, mch and dram. 1:1 is alot harder I think. Also I think I got lucky with my cpu and my dimms I've had for some time and they work pretty well even with little V. I don't know why 1:1, but to me if you want to go up in a building an elavator is easier. So is 5:6. 1:1 seems like the stairs. Unless I don't know about why 1:1. (actually I don't) If you can't use the same voltages, try to use the same ratio, what I have on mine it is essential. Thanks to those in much earlier post who spoke of this.

Thanks HiCookie, appriciate the help, is that ok for 24/7 use ?, i will try that setup. I had this board for 1 day and it burned up on me, i cant find the vista raid drivers ??????? i looked all over the cd, where do you get the raid drivers for vista 32 ???? says in the manual there in the boot drv folder, i dont see them, i want to put them on a usb.

Seems you have some different things in your settings like, strap, memory strength, and which memory are you using? brand model? etc
i`m with OCZ reaper now 2x1gb but i`m thinking to change for 2x2gb of mushkin 996599 or g.skill pi series all pc2-8500 .

i`m not feeling confident with my pair of memory, maybe it is hold on my system to reach high OC, but i`ll try your settings today and see how my system responds.

This is not a BETA bios right?

Today I'll try it. I want to see if this BIOS resolves the problem that I have.

[simoorta]

Stasio, what are the changes of the F7 bios on UD3R?

[pierrandre]

there no changelog ever .. this is lame ...
users should know what the update is going to fix or enhance...

Think they got Easy Tune corrected now like in the beta (seems all beta's got the same changelog ) :

Fix abnormal messages from EasyTune 6 and DES in Vista

Not one company does put all changes in the changelog... it's always pretty vague...

[marcnapier]

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum as far as posting but read it all the time. Lots of good info and people here.

I have been reading over the last couple of days all the pages of this thread. I have tried many of the things I read on here but still having issues trying to OC my E8500 on UD3P board.

Let me just give a short explanation of what is happening: I have used EasyTune 6 only to try and see where it sets voltages on a given OC speed, but do all my OC work in the BIOS. So if I choose the standard OC in easytune of 4.05 (the number 3 button), it works and is prime stable for hours and hours. However after setting that OC and going into to bios to tweak it or change it, I run into a brick wall. If I change anything even slightly it either won't boot or isn't stable. For instance, I tried changing the ram from 2.40B to 2.00D to put the ram at 1:1 and no boot, or boot and then blue screen. I would think that the voltages and timings easytune sets at this 4.05Ghz OC would be close enough for the ram to run at 1:1. Oh I'm sure the voltages need tweaking, but c'mon is this board really that finnicky when it comes to voltages/timings? I have also tried increasing the fsb slightly and get the same results, either no boot or boot and then blue screen. But I have a feeling that the voltages are the problem. There are so many settings that I really don't know what to increase and what to lower. I have tried many user settings and tweaked them up or down and still having issues.

I would like to get an OC of 442 with a 9.5 multi which would put me at 4.2Ghz with ram at 1:1. I can boot into windows with these settings, but it wont even run prime for more that 5 mins without errors. I would be open however to a lower multiplier if I can get around 4.2Ghz or above stable.

I have Corsair Dominator 1066 ram. Running F6 bios, should I flash to F7?

Can anyone give me a template of settings to try, even if they are a starting point to try and reach this OC? I know my E8500 is capable of it because I had it in an SLI board running at 4.2GHz 442fsb and 9.5 multi. I also have another rig with an Asus P5Q Deluxe, and another E8500 running at the exact same OC 4.2 442....etc.

Here are the last settings I tried with no luck:

Anyone???

[coop]

Marc, try the same settings above but change the "CPU Host Frequency (Mhz)" to 467. This will cut your ram some slack and give you 4.2ghz. Make sure and check settings as some change automatically when changing something else. If that don't help try again, 467x9, but change the "Drive Strength Profiles OC-1066" to OC-1200.

xbiusx, my mems for that were Crucial 8500. An early or older set now. I have some KHX8500 that are almost as good and I used them together with the 4x1gb screen. I just got them and they were only 49.00 But I even beat that, la couple weeks or so I got a set of Tracers for 29. (zzf) but they were 49 a week or so ago.) They are at 567 with 2.24v in my Asus. *The lights are cool.* I have a 2gb set og G.Skill 2x2 the pq ones. Have not had time to play with yet.

[Supershanks]

Anyone???

If your trying to get to

442 with a 9.5 multi which would put me at 4.2Ghz

why do you have 9x500 = 4,500Mhz dialed in ??
Or have I missed something ?
