I have the same CPU as you. The only differences I see between my and your voltages at the exact same FSB/Multi are that I have my CPU PLL manually set at stock 1.5v, my CPU is at 1.3v, and I have the CPU termination set to auto. ET6 shows the CPU Term at 1.6v. I tried manually setting it to 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6, and it simply won't boot without 1.6v, which is what auto sets it to. I also have all of my advanced clock control settings to auto. My MCH Core is at 1.3v, but I have 2x2gb sticks so you will need a bit more.

In process of RMAing second UD3R.
Does anyone have a clue why a motherboard will run fine with one stick of ram but not boot to bios with 2 sticks of ram, of any brand and any size in any slots?

Thats a bummer. I hadn't heard of this with the UD3R before. Maybe an isolated issue with that particular board? Or did you have the same problem with your first mobo?

Or Incorrect timings (all of the following auto can set wrong), Performance Enhance on Turbo, To low of a Static tRead Set, improper strap choice for the voltages/FSB set.
Did you loosen the timings up and set your voltages for 2 sticks with one stick in?

Board is currently at stock, no OC at all. Ram is set in bios. 4-4-4-12 sub timings to auto
What do you mean set for 2 sticks and only have one? It should auto detect the ram.

set the Dram voltage and loosen the timings to 5-5-5-15 or so and mem speed to 800, up the MCh to 1.24-1.28, save and exit then try both sticks. Also manually set the Pl(Static tRead) to 9 for now as it may get set on 6 or something which could be your issue. Then try to swap sticks position if it doesnt work
Also some had issues till they disabled Legacy USB support

Hi i need help with settings to get stable. When i run ORTHOS or OCCT blend test (CPU+RAM) i got error, or BSOD, when i test just the CPU i pass without errors. So, maybe there is something wrong with my memory or my settings, so please any help will be great.
My bios settings.

None of that worked. Still same issue. One stick will run correct, two sticks, won't get to bios.
I am waiting for my confirmed approval for RMA from Gigabyte now.

Bad sticks?
Sticks are fine. I used a 2gig set of GSkill HZs, a 4gig set of GSkill Black Pis, and a 2gig set of Ballistixs double-sided with D9s. None of the sets worked with both sticks but would all work with only one stick.

Finally was able to test out my E8400 today.
I'll try tinkering with the voltages later, just looking for something stable at this point.
I found that my Corsair Dominators didn't like the 3.20B divider. If I tried overclocking at all, it would results in a overclocking failure. So I'm just doing 1:1 right now.
I mean for two sticks you need to make some changes. And no, it will not automatically always get things correct or automatically pickup the information for two sticks.
Use one stick and go in the BIOS and set your MCH to 1.2-1.24 and make sure static tread is at least 9 for now, and trfc at least 54 for now, set your ram voltage and then save and shut down and put in the second stick
Of course, yes your board may be bad, did you UV mark it when you sent it in for RMA the first time to be sure you did not get the same board back? Just wondering as it has been known to happen with many companies and products

just wondering. what's some good ram to go with the UD3P? i'll be running on a Q9550 e0. i was thinking mushkin redline.
There should have to be no changes using two sticks of RAM just to boot. You may have to manually set timings to get them at SPD, but it should still boot. Marking the MB with UV is a good idea, as some companies are quick to send the same part right back. I just can't see how its not a MB issue if the RAM is good. The exception to this is the well known problem of trying to load Vista pre-SP1 with 4gigs of RAM installed.

i see you are planning ahead of time and what you are doing right now is you are trying your best to make sure (before you buy) that the ram kit is compatible with the board and it can handle, whether it is a high FSB, high RAM clock speeds or a tight timings overclocking system you prefer, that's depending what kind of overclocking you are planning to do, and then also, whether it is a 2GB, 4GB or 8GB RAM system that you are wanting to build?
so why don't i just answer your question? i think the question is too general and there are so many DDR2 on the market and that no one have already tested all of them. i haven't read much myself, but maybe look around these threads would help you make the right decision. anyways, good luck with your computer build.
omg this mobo is a monster once you figure it out...
1.26on NB and 1.22 on cpu term, i am on copper cored stock cooler from my e6600 till me TRUE gets here. I had to mess with cpu and mch ref to get the mobo to do anything near 500. at those settings 500 went 10.5 hours then this run at 525.
I fired her up at 550x7 and shes flying away, pl level 11

I have been runing my Q6600 for a couple of days now and I could reach FSB 450 pretty easy but to get it stable with LinX and Prime blend at 450 3600 2x1 1200 555 15 tRD7 I had to work a bit with CPU Term and MCH Core, I notice later that my CPU ref was to low, it should be ~0,800 in ET6 (~67%).
Even thou I tune the CPU ref I could not lower any volt and be stable.
I canīt reach higher then 3,65GHz with this chip no matter what I do.
I can reach FSB 490 and be stable but I have to push rather high CPU Term (1,40) and MCH Core (1,48), could boot with 495 but that was it, no 500 here.
Itīs a pretty good result for my chip even thou I canīt go higher then 3,65GHz and FSB 490.
Hereīs my Q6600@450 3600 2x1 1200 555 15 tRD7

Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z / FX8350 / G.Skill TridentX 2400C10 / GTX690
here's my Q9300 oerclocked to 3.56GHz.
and this's for a starter overclocker (like myself) who happens to use one of these UD3x board + Q9300 (probably the first batch to launch in retail) + OCZ PC2-9200 flex II 4GB kit... voltage settings below may (or may not) help you get started and helps you kick your CPU up to 3.56GHz and at 5:6 DDR2-1140MHz tRD8*.
Prime95 x64 blend mode in 1hr test only.
if you like to use tRD 8 you will have to set tRD value in BIOS setup to 8 on both Ch A and Ch B settings,
otherwise, with this particular ram kit and at this CPU FSB and 5:6 memory ratio when you set Turbo, by default, the tRD value is 9.
memory timing is manually set at BIOS to 5-5-5-15 / 4-4-8-56-4,
when you set Turbo, by default, the timings will be 5-5-5-18 / 3-3-6-54-3 which might be too short for this ram clock speed.
if you choose to set Standard mode, the 2nd timings will auto set to / 5-5-9-76-5 and the tRD value within Windows will be at 11-13 (which might be a bit too loose for your liking)
Could someone tell me that the best BIOS is for overclocking a E8500/dual core? and for overclocking RAM?
Thanks
Hope it fix the S3 resume failure from bios F4...
Please excuse my faulty english
Let me clarify here: I had this board running for 2 weeks before it started to do this. I tried the different settings and it does not work with 2 sticks of any type of ram in any 2 slots.
The first board I got was DOA and newegg cross-shipped me a new one, so no, it is not the same mobo again.
Now, newegg is not going to RMA this board b/c it is a replacement from the original...which quite pisses me off. I am now waiting for Gigabyte to approve my RMA request.

I run XP SP3 with 2x 2gigs of black pis. I had no issues for 2 weeks then it just wouldn't boot. I switched out to my 2x1gig sticks of gskill HZs. Still, no work. I then tried my other trusty reserv kit of 2x1gig sticks of Ballistixs double-sided and no work.
I pulled one stick and they all work.
