Gigabyte EP45-UD3P - out of the box and almost auto setting -> boot @ 620FSB easy.

[Slovnaft]

Sory i dont understand what do you think with that...

My ram can do about 1350mhz without problems...

why'd you mention D9GMH then?

[M-XXXX]

why'd you mention D9GMH then?

Because this is my only logical explanation But i want to hear other opinions!

[Slovnaft]

seeing as it's been consistent across many boards, try a fresh install of windows.

Anybody have a preference as far as this memory scenario.... I'm at 500fsb 1:1 . (sytem in sig)
Would you get this gskill that runs at 4-5-4-12 1000 and run it at that or use a divider for 1200 and get this gskill that runs 5-5-5-15 1200mhz
I plan on getting a 2nd 4gb kit for 8gb total so that needs to be taken in to consideration. I plan on running whichever i get at its rated speed.
Does anybody have a p45 and memory that'll run at both of those settings?
If so do you mind posting some screenies of everest or similar at both settings? Thanks a lot! All suggestions are appreciated.

this is a very fun board , question, with my multi@8 and fsb @519 or higher,prime fails after about 1-3minutes. ive tried raising nbv.vtt,vcore but no success.do you yhink it could be my ram holding me back?i tried upping the vdimm from 2.1 to 2.14 but no luck. do you think i can raise it to about 2.2 and still be safe?

Interesting mobo, Q6600@3600Mhz with only 1.28v, in a Maximus Formula needed 1.36v. Ram is GSkill PI 8800@1125Mhz (Turbo) 1.90v

Found a bug on this board, it wont boot with something installed on the first pci slot on top of the 2nd pci- 16x slot, it never ending cold boots., bottom one worked fine. Anyone else have this?

try to play with vdimm ,2,2v will be safe if you has a good air flow

[PcCI2iminal]

I've tested that same quad on Biostar ,P5E3 Premium , Rampage Extreme and 500fsb is only good for screen but now



4459MHZ @ 1,42v on air (524fsb)

What pci card did you install?

So far I've only installed an E6600 along with a HD4870 in my EP45-UD3P. I have a PCI HighPoint Rocket 133 ATA133 Controller so I tried it in that first PCI slot. Everything booted and I installed the driver 1.23.3.30 for Vista 32-bit. I haven't connected a drive to it but all indications is that it is working.

For those of you with Quads, Elektrosadist suggested bios F4 for the UD3P and quads. I am in the process of testing the F4 and so far i am very pleased.
I'm also getting awesome memory scores 1:1 with PL9. Coming from ASUS i thought the Lowest PL you could use was 10... I was wrong.
Big difference in bandwidth. Here is Elektrosadists post over at the UD3 Quad thread, post 18, and then my Everest scores DDR2 1024 5-5-4-12 PL9.
I am still tweaking and testing but i do suggest quad owners to try F4.

heres some watercooling Pics from me and my current system settings. FSB 505 along with DDR2-1263 with relaxed timings works fine here. I found Bios F4 to be the most stable and clockable with Quad and this Board. F5A caused BSOD for me. The CPU i have was pretested in a shop with FSB 471 @ 4G on air and i pumped it a little more. I also chatted a long while with the shop owner there and he said he also tested the F4, f4PI and the F5A Bios and the most reliable for Quads is the F4. I will later make a SS with ET6. And i don't know how extend you guys test, i do Prime for like 6h OCCT for 3h as well as 20 runs of the INTELBURNTEST and then i run all synthetic benchmarks i have (3dmark and pcmark stuff, superpi, everest, sandra and some more). After all that is passed i just use the system (surfing gaming benching a lil)and when i dont get a blue screen for some weeks i refeer to this as stable. I just say this cause i know some of you do Prime for days.

definitely confirmed that UD3P wasnt the killer of my gem CPU but 790i Ultra

i am just installing an OS with a new E8600 i have and will do some testing when its all done.....hopefully get to freeze it with about 3L of LN2 left to see where the CB is at least heheheh

[radaja]

@PcCI2iminal,thanks! raising the vdimm to 2.20 did the trick.i was afraid to to raiseit to 2.20 cause it was getting warm,so i added a 60mm fan using double sided tape and it seems to be cooler also lowered my cpu temps and motherboard temps as well. i have a stuck sensor on my cpu(39c).this is the highest ive been able to get my fsb ever (stable that is)thank you again.quick question,how does the memory driving strength profiles work?

Whew, that is good news for this board Insulating mine up and re-wiring my cascade so I won't continue to blow the power in my house

The slot right above the 2nd pcix 16 slot.

Yes, the one identified as PCI1 in the image below. I haven't tried PCI2.

good bandwith

Hi, Via E-mail directly from a Gigabyte Tech in Taiwan.

I didn't see no point in having the flagship version - EP45-UD3P.

I only use 1 Graphics Card & I would never use dual GbE Lan or onboard dolby surround sound - got X-fi Titanium on the way anyway.

Hence why I chose the Gigabyte EP45-UD3R I think a majority of people bought the P version for the sake of it lol.

Hallelujah .. why do these guys go for the top models all the time

[Jsunn]

Yeah so....

[icestyle]

Found a bug on this board, it wont boot with something installed on the first pci slot on top of the 2nd pci- 16x slot, it never ending cold boots., bottom one worked fine. Anyone else have this?

I have a tv-card installed in the upper pci slot (PCI1) and it works fine.

[Michowski]

Hey guys, I just got this board and had a few questions. Is there anywere that explains what everything means in the bios for mit settings. Im confused on the mch and ich settings really mean. Is there a good write up somewere that explains what those do and were they should be?

[radaja]

Michowski,Mch is the NB and Ich is the SB
