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

[nugzo]

Well I just got a UD3R.
In comparison to my Asus P5Q-E that I had I'm disappointed with some things ... the fit isn't as good. The I\O panel fit \ connections is poor and getting my Nvidia 260 GTX to sit was difficult to say the least and it doesn't feel secure. .

I dont follow.... The Fit isnt good? I build computers on a weekly basis and My UD3 fits as well as $400 Boards. Honestly, ive never seen an ATX board that fits bad. I\O has no issues and my PCI-E Devices fit perfect. I've seen flimsy I\O Shields on cheap boards that sometimes didnt line up good but that was stuff like asrock and ECS. I think you may have an issue elsewhere.. Maybe loose or mis aligned motherboard tray?

If anybody wonder about an aftermarket cooler for the mosfet. The old thermalright HR02-U//S that fit maximus and rampage formula and EK asus 3a backplate also fit this board.(Note that on thermalright website only the I/O mosfet fit)
Forced me to use it since I have some clearance problem with heatsink and the stock jigabyte cooler. The blue color look cool though. :P

Please do take note that the original thermal pad for the mosfets heatsink, you need to used back the original thermal tape which is thick, sticky and spongy. The reason for being thick is for the resistors.

Reason : the resistors are much higher than the mosfets, I did tried and used 3M thermal tape which is thin but unable to get it stick. Luckily, using a magniflying glass to check and comfirmed the height of the resistor is way higher than the mosfets.


Solution : if you want to used 3M thin thermal tape, drill holes into the mosfet heatsink where the resistors come into contacts. In order for it to stick firmly without electrical shock.

Hi folks, can anyone advise me if my existing RAM will be OK with the UD3P - thanks.

In case you never use one from the HR series. The thermaltape that come with thermalright mosfet is not the thin 3M one.
It is nearly as thick, spongy and sticky as the original thermaltape. So there no contact problem.

i think i found my 24/7 settings. do you guys think with these volts and temps ill be ok (safe)? pll@1.57,vtt@1.26,nbv@1.38.

[Revv23]

from the volts we can see you should be fine.

[nugzo]

Agreed. I'm gonna try my 9650 24/7 at much much higher in all areas... 1.41v vcore, 1.6v nb, 1.5v Vtt, 1.60v Pll. I'm interested to see how long it lasts. I wanted a 4500mhz Quad and i'm gonna have one.... Even if its only a few days/weeks/months...

[Revv23]

^ I'd be really surprized if you had issues with that.

I'm asking again

Does anyone has UD3P and Balistix over 480FSB? (or any other cucial or D9GHM rams??)

I don't have an answer for you. Some probably wont answer though because of your font....

@radaja ,look very fine for 24/7 your Temp is pretty well low.Great for use.

P.S. For mylast Post @ 4530 MHZ I still got ORTHOS error after 1 HR 30 MIn ....damm

Sorry for size, but I cant lower it (my first post was with size 25, but that was (is to big) then I've editi it with size 15, but post doesnt change

Sorry if I was unrespectfull- I didn't ment that (as I have told before- tryed lowering fond size from 25 to 15 but it doesn't change...)

And I've read all topics about this mobo (I admit not extremly well) but I have read and haven't found any mentions of Crucial D9 rams...
Thank you for links, then D9 should work fine, what about Crucial D9?

Just got myself a Q9550 E0, still 475fsb is not stable, i will be testing with corsair 8500's, i believe the g.skills are at fault here.

[nugzo]

Is CPU Reference in bios the GTL settings? If so has anybody succesfuly adjusted it? My board will not even POST if i take it off of auto.

yeah sorry I have lot of work for university, I try to update this evening

[emertX]

Could it be that this board is just usable with auto settings except the vcore?
I can't boot into Vista at FSB@500 with other settings than,
PLL:1,85V
VTT:1.6V
MCH:1.4V

I got an Q9550 E0. These settings are for 800x5. Is that normal? Or should I change to the EP45 Extreme?

Try and bbelieve!
Set all except Vcore to Auto and you will succeed!

What are the auto volts at? Ive noticed auto pushes the volts a bit past some people's comfort levels...
