by-tor,those are just increments, keep pushing + /- till you get the voltage you want.by the way i love the avatar! go snow dog

So to say to set the vcore to 1.36v, what increment would I use?

PS: Snowdog's asleep at the foot of the bed....we're buddy's now and don't fight over good and evil anymore!

i think it will be 1.39 in bios if llc is enabled. so keep pushing the + button till you reach 1.38 - 1.39 somewhere in that area.

+ button? In bios? I'm feeling a little lost now...

I'm not at the tech station now.. I'm driving west on I-64 towards Williamsburg, VA. I'm chatting at 75 mph...llooolz

the plus & minus buttons on the keyboard.

[By-Tor]

aaahhh I see... duh... do I need to select the normal setting and not auto then use the keys?

How do you like that cellshock memory? I was thinking about getting some for this MB. I had my ballistix tracers running @ 1280 mhz on it last night on 500 fsb.

[radaja]

push + past auto,past normal and then keep pushig till you hit desired voltage

What is the consensus on the best BIOS for the UD3P? F5 isn't as good as F4 and I don't want to keep flashing beta's to find the best one, my time is limited.

[radaja]

@by-tor the cell shocks are awesome,right now though im running one of my mushin pc-8000 with them for a total of 3 gigs, they seem to be playing nice together.i just got them (muskin) but one stick is bad

Here is what I got after an RMA of the first UD3P I had.

nice villainstone!

YAY I just ordered a UD3P

If MCH in Bios is the north bridge voltage.

Is ICH the south bridge voltage?

Yes, ICH is SB Voltage, since manufatures isolated the PLL from SB
no need more to add voltage on this Chip.

just wanted to inform you that my raid didnt work anymore after i flashed the 7a bios. had to recreate it then it worked fine.

yea well i think the f5 beta for the ud3r corrupted and killed my wd caiar black...its still under neweggs 30 day warranty...i still need to call them about it...i should tell them the board is bad also and how dare it kill my hard drive..then i can just buy a ud3p

[radaja]

heres my latest. bios settings are pll 1.57 / vtt 1.26 / nbv 1.38 / vdimm 2.26 / vcore 1.38 /

[VOID WARRANTY]

oh yea...its f-ing great in my neck of the woods newegg gave me a total refund on my ud3r...and they waved the restocking fee...you got love newegg...and lol the operator said he was sorry like 7 times...then i told him that they just dont make hard drives the way they used to...so i guess im going to get the ud3p now when i get my money...oh and get this i left a note in the motherboard manual for who ever ends up buying the board as an open box......i told em to send me a message at xtreme systems forum...epic

I was able to 4.75 ghz on my e8500 E0 with 500 FSB..

My highest FSB so far is 525.

This MB is very smooth and forgiving for all my OCing screw ups...

[Elektrosadist]

burp i flashed to the new beta bios its total crap. only good thing is that i can now select my stick to boot but for a quadcore f4 still is the best bios imo.

You don't like F7a? I am using it now and it works much better than F5 official did, but I honestly don't recall if it's any better than the F4 it shipped with.
F5 totally sucked, I had to crank the voltages up considerably to get as stable as I was with F4, so I just decided to try the F7a and it is good enough.

ET6 stops working in Vista x64 after it runs about an hour. DLed the latest version, but didn't help. Runs continuously in XP without a problem. Anyone else experience this? Is this an app problem or Vista issue I can fix?

[radaja]

by-tor is it stable,if so that is very nice. i wish mine could clock that high. well it probally can , i just dont have the skills to pay the overclocking bills

[ghost_recon88]

So F7a and F4 are currently the best for quads? Is there any F6x BIOS?

[By-Tor]

Oh no... Nowhere near stable. Just wanted to see how high I could get it... I did leave it there for a little bit and it did run fine...

F6 for EP45-UD3P
Haven't heard much about it. Most have been sticking with the F7a. Tweaktown has links to the latest beta BIOS.
