Never trust newegg reviews anyways. Almost all of them are clueless.

Yeah, this is probably true.....

Just having a hard time deciding between some boards.

**chuchnit** · 10-11-2008, 08:10 PM

What kind of voltage adjustments are there? Hope it's not .05v increments like the Biostars.

nooooooo!

gigabyte has really small increments in bios for their boards now

**HeadOn** · 10-12-2008, 01:35 AM

So is the EP45-UD3R almost the same as this but with a PCI slot instead of another PCI-E slot? I would rather have the PCI slot since I don't use Crossfire. The UD3R is also cheaper at NewEgg. Thanks!

Thanks. I'm getting ready to ditch this ncrap board and I'm eyeballing this one. This may be the one. Good clocker and cheap.

im going to buy a new board,and was thinking of getting a biostar tpowerI45 or dfi-P45-t2rs. question-should i go for one of these proven boards or would you recommend getting gigabyte-ep45-ud3p, cause it sure does looks like its for real!even though its in the early stages of your testing. thanks for any suggestions you might offer

Its a tough choice but I would go with this new board for its sheer potential. The tpower on the other hand is proven, you will have lots you can read to help tweak it and Ket is starting to mod its bios.

I am sure you can use the older Gigabyte P45 thread to help tweak this new one though and I am sure somebody will mod the bios of this new board eventually as well.

ok its time for some quad clocking.
stop messing with dual cores, anything can clock a dual corepast 500mhz and now 600mhz, but only a couple of boards can run a quad to 500

lets see what $129 can do to a quad...

**dinos22** · 10-13-2008, 06:35 PM

have you seen hicookie's thread

i boot 520FSB directly, tested 530 okay too, then 540mhz can stably
pass 3Dmark06 with Quadcores.
card was 3850CF, just default setting , don't care that, for this run just testing
how much FSB can stably pass 06

540MHZ FSB of QX9650 Passed 3Dmark06 with Quadcores
and 2:4B ratio, DDR2-1300
