[fatguy1992]

Am i the only 1 here on the forums with a UD3L?. Just want to do some reserch before i start overclocking.

Also does it have a differant bios from the other models?

I haven't seen anyone else with one, but its a big forum so i'd say someone else would have one.

Also yes it does have different BIOS's then other models.

BTW what are ur specs?

Just downgraded from a i7 system to.

EP45-UD3L F1 Rev 1.0
E8400
4GB OCZ 8500 Reaper
Patriot 64GB SSD
Zotac GTX260 Amp2
Coolermaster 850w
Coolermaster V8

I will see how the board goes. Worst comes to worst i will get a better board.

Guys, i have a weird issue i could run a stable 333 fsb with 1.24 MCH using a multi of 6 but when i try to raise the multi to 9 i can boot to windows but i cant run a stable prime small fft's for more than a few secs. Do you think its my cpu?

[ezaleina]

Hi guys.,i want to make this setting for 24/7.,is it ok..?i haven't prime or stress it yet,the problem is i cannot run Super PI 32MB.,anyone know why.,did i miss something here..?

[neo mike]

probally your ram is not stable, have you run memtest on your ram ?

[yomny]

if you have the SuperPi icon as a shortcut somewhere in your desktop or quick launch bar you may want to put it back in the folder it originally was and try running it again. You should run prime small fft to see if you're somewhat stable. It would tell you if you have a ram problem very quickly.

[neo mike]

I have the ep45t-ud3p, not as sweet as this board. What is the fsb max on this board ? anybody done 600+.

[ezaleina]

@neo mike @yomny
i didn't run memtest.,let say i run memtest and got error.,what should i do bro..i mean what change should i made..?

May I ask y you downgraded from i7?

@yomny & neo mike
i already run Prime 95 for 10 minutes.,so far no error occured during testing.,do u think it cannot run SPI because of memory voltage..?this is the screen shot..

You need to run Hyperpi under Vista ( you can disable the sound which is one of the main causes for superpi to crash under Vista )

Grab here : Hyperpi

I have the ep45t-ud3p, not as sweet as this board. What is the fsb max on this board ? anybody done 600+.

I got 580 sort of stable ( didn't run prime just hyperpi dual instances 32mb ) the EP45T needs some bios tinkering mate by gigabyte not by us. Let's hope F4 will be a big upgrade

My current stats here :EP45t-ud3p-review



Bootable from bios but not Hyperpi stable, small FFT ran for an hour but blend crashed in a minute

[neo mike]

Hey Lee, whats up, i did make some progress with the board, i can get into windows at 600fsb, but i cant complete a everest run, it crashes, but i did get 590, on 3.20c divider, which i think is pretty sweet.

[ezaleina]

@Leeghoofd
thanks man.,i'll try it later..hope the Hyper PI not crash..i want to run at 1200Mhz memory with 2.1v.,can i use 2.1-2.2v for 24/7 without active cooling..?

[radaja]

lee,600fsb,nice!neo mike,whats up? i thought you were getting rid of it?if you keep playing with it,i think you might just amaze yourself.and then you'll change your mind and keep it.i cant even get 590fsb with mine yet.and your doing just awesome on that board.it's making it hard to decide what to get next. keep it up,good job

[neo mike]

I just found this thread, man that ud3p is popular, and sweet board, i see 650fsb, wowwwwww, im trying for 600fsb, but i want to keep same divider, if i change dividers i can probally do it easy. I dont know what to do with this board, im probally going to get rid of it and get a asus p5e3 preminum, not sure, its not the fsb that makes me want to dump it, its the bench scores, there horriable, well below normal, and the 266, 200 straps dont work at all, how long would i have to wait for gigabyte to fix this ? who knows, maybe never.

[radaja]

thats probally true,gigabyte has lot of boards in the p45 series.and that particular model doesnt have alot of early adopters,so it doesnt get the bios attention the ddr2 boards do.

weird christmas gift from gigabyte (at least to EP45-UD3): Sound Blaster X-Fi MB utility (vista only)

nothing to do with oc, but perhaps someone with vista can try it out?

Not advised for 24/7 use, get a nice Antec spotcool (3 speed, flexible mount) so you get the best out of two worlds : NB and ram cooling !!!

May I ask y you downgraded from i7?

I downgraded from

i7 920
Gigabyte EX58 Extreme
Patriot 12800 6GB Viper.
2 x GTX260 Zotac amp2

[radaja]

X.T.R.E.M.E ICE,why did you downgrade?

Installed this on my Vista x64 setup and seems to be working fine. Even though it says Vista x86 only on the gigabyte site, it installed without any problems on x64. However for some reason, the X-Fi MB comes up as a 30 day trial??

Could someone tell me how to get .5 multipliers? Like 8.5? Is it possible on a Q6600?

Thanks

Yes its your CPU as small FFT's are stress the cores harder than anything else related to P95.
