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

[SPQQKY]

Got a strange but minor issue. Using OCCT, the app is reading 5.16v on the core....I have version 2.0.1 that is seems others are using, but I am not getting proper vcore readings. I do not have CPU-Z or ET6 running, so they shouldn't be interfering. If I run P95 with cpu-z open, I can see my vcore doesn't budge with LLC enabled, but wouldn't mind seeing how the OCCT graph compares.
Any ideas?

NM: removed and reinstalled it and now the values stay when I change them.

Black Friday deal...

Got me one also, glad I did after reading this thread. I'm on a budget and its my 1st Intel setup, so hope it goes well.

BTW does this support Xenon? I know they prob cant but it should work right?

i have the same problem too

Uninstall OCCT, then reinstall it and then when you change the values in the monitoring tab, it should stick. Don't know if there is a glitch during install or what, but once I reinstalled the app, my values stuck.

LLC works great on my board, too bad I've got a crappy e8400.

hey has any one try,d to flash the f5 beta for ud3r...it wont work for me and its also written in german or dutch...i all ready flashed my board like 4 times with no problem....lol i also try,d to flash my ud3r into a ud3p but the flash utillity in the bios will read it from the floppy but then it say,s bios id dosnt match and it wont boot the bios....i swear i read that hicookie flashed his ud3r into a ud3p maybe he did it in dos or i read his post wrong or something....

[SPQQKY]

He probably flashed in DOS. When you download the f5 beta, double click it and then select the top box "Extrahiren" or "extract" and it will extract the bios to a folder that you select "Durchsuchen" or "browse".

dOES ANYONE WHAT TO TRY AND HELP ME EXCEED 500 fsb FOR 24/7 oc? i AM AT 500 right now and it is stable and safe on all fronts (voltage and temps). I would like to see if I could get a bit higher.

After reading the 20 pages of info I'm on a quest for a UD3P MB.I'll be keeping all the rest of my rig,just changing the MB.I hope i can see some good OC's like everyone else

Are you saying it detects a BIOS ID mismatch and wont flash the UD3P bios or that it will flash it, but when you restart after flashing it wont boot the bios?

To flash the BIOS of another board, you'd have to use DOS and force it to ignore BIOS ID mismatch. However this is really risky and you may brick your board.

I just bought myself a gigabyte ep45-ud3r mobo , i also have a q6600 (G0) and 2x2gb corsair dominator 1066.

I want to o/c the cpu to 3,6 , but it is the first time i use a gigabyte mobo and i'm not familiar with the settings.

Could someone suggest the settings i should use in the bios (voltages , gtls , tips , e.t.c.) ?

Thanks in advance.

Also , should i use the f4 or the f5a bios ?

[CryptiK]

Can someone please tell me how thick this foam/rubber pad is that I have indicated in the pic?



Also when you screw the NB heatsink on, do the screws bottom out limiting the mounting pressure or is it possible to over-tighten the screws?

[Barry]

Could someone point out the real different between the UD3P and UD3R?I'm looking at gigabytes site and the only thing i see is that the 3R doesn't have the two PCIe slots and ultra TPM<--- whatever that is. I remember reading something about TPM in the 20 pages but for the life of me can't remember,hehehe I have CRS syndrome

[SPQQKY]

The differences are right on the front page of this thread.

[Barry]

I found that but i don't know what those feature are. I tried to google then but didn't come up with anything.

To install a 3rd party NB cooler or Waterblock I would strongly recommend to get this:

Microcool Core Rubber Protector

The problem is it's out of stock everywhere.

It will look like this prior to block installation:

thanks spooky i got F5 to work...but i didnt like it so i went back to F4...every thing needed more volts to stay stable at 4.45ghz......maybe it will work better for quads

I can stable with small FFT with this Voltage in F7a but I have to adjust some
Advanced Clock Control to like this
CPU Clock Drive...........................: [800mv]
PCI Express Clock Drive...................: [900mv]
CPU Clock Skew (ps).......................: [50ps ]
MCH Clock Skew (ps).......................: [100ps ]
But after I pass small FFT and then go to Blend it's fail immediately with the same voltage setting ..... I'm quiet sure my ram can run with 530 Clock fine may I 'll back to F4 or F3 .... again

@VOID WARRANTY: I agree with you that F5 require more volt to get stable

[mathewgx]

I need your help. I tried to flash a mod vista bios for the ud3r and the result was that it messed up. The board doesn't boot , it makes one long sound (which i found to indicate a cmos error). I tried to clearmos , take out the battery but nothing.

Is there any way that i could recover it ? It seems that the dual bios doesn't work.

I read that in asus p5q mobos , you can swift the bios chips. Is it possible with the ud3r?

Please , i need really need your help.

hey i really cant complain though....$110 board and its one of the best overclocking p45,s you can get your hands on....they could of easily sold these boards for more money.....and they seem to love quad core,s according to the forum...it sure handled my E8400..

[Kayin]

Finally got mine working (had to do long clear CMOS, good from there) and this is what I just typed in and am running on..

Before you say weak, I've not OCed an Intel platform since my old 2.53B. also, there's no voltage changes, nothing but FSB change. I'm not displeased. It also happens to be under the stock low profile cooler-you know, the one so small you can install it on the motherboard tray and then still slide it in a Lian-Li, it's so small.

+1 for those Gigabyte guys know this.

I OCed Abit and Asus but no idea about Gigabyte and my G0 Q6600. I was building SFF with everything listed in my sig but smoke damage(no damage to PC parts ) to home, my wife hurting her back, my 11months old stomach virus, daughter cold all in same week then birthday, living in hotel for 2 weeks.....etc etc etc I don't have time to finish that project and it will be stopped indefintely untill everything settles down. I've ordered Lian-Li A05B, GA-EP45-UD3P and will be ordering 4x2GB G.Skill Pi Black probably tomorrow or day after. I'm not going to mod this much if at all for some time but still want to OC. I had stable 3.6Ghz with Asus P5E-VM HDMI but seems Gigabyte BIOS is way different than anything I've seen and seems more complicated(Yes, I'm still noob ) Anyone able to help out here? Maybe cookiecutter BIOS to base as starting point? and max setting(voltage or what not) would be icing on cake.

TIA

Any help here ?

[By-Tor]

I just got this MB yesterday and have to say its pretty sweet so far. On auto voltages I have it running at 4.2 ghz and have had it to 4.5 ghz on auto.

The thing I can't figure out is what the voltage selections under the Vcore menu are.
How do I know what to add to up it?
The choices are:
auto
normal
.5648
.5689
and so on.

How do I know??

Thanks
