hey guys i have a ud3p mobo and q9550 i have questions about how to setup these properly
i am running 471 x 8.5 = 4ghz with 1.29...v in bios crucial pc6400 4-4-4-12

Motherboard Voltage Control
CPU Vcore….……….........................1.29...V
CPU Termination…..... ???V
CPU PLL…………………....???V
CPU Referen.…………....???V

MCH/ICH
MCH Core…………….....???V
MCH Reference….…….???V
MCH/DRAM Ref.…......???V
ICH I/O……………….....???V


DRAM
DRAM Voltage ……....2.2V
DRAM Termination .…???V
Channel A Reference………..0.750V [Auto]
Channel B Reference………..0.750V [Auto]


can you guys guide me through? whats the first second, third, fourth...... thing to set? thanks

Thought I would post some pics of my new build using the UD3R. Quite a nice board for the money. I'm starting OCing tonight through the weekend.




The board came with the F5 bios. Could someone let me know what bios is best for a Q6600 OC, I understand F5 isn't to great?

I've got my rig all set and running at stock speeds, and I'll continue to look over everyone's settings here (I'm planning to do a modest overclock to take my G0-step Q6600 up to 1333FSB). Before I do it though, I've got a question.

Most of my overclocking experience is old-school, and it used to sometimes affect the spec for HDD controllers, risking data corruption issues. This wouldn't concern me much if I was running in legacy or AHCI mode like most are here, but I have two of my drives in a RAID-1. Does anyone have any experience with overclocking in this setup, and are there any special BIOS settings I should keep in mind?

If you are worried about losing your raid/data, run bootable memtest (CD) before loading windows. If you can pass test 5 five times and test 7 five times and do a couple of full runs (all tests) you should be fine to boot into windows and test further.

i always use the ICH controller in raid mode, all of my drives that i use in my overclocking test on this board, are either raid drive(s) or a single drive with raid ready,
and i have never killed a single Windows installed. i don't be so careful either. however, all my overclocking test are not that very high.

i think the board's BIOS (include its IMSM OROM) that i've been using are pretty solid, however, if you are not familiar with this new board and ram (either its voltage or timing setting and what not) , like mention before, you may want to test your ram each time you make an overclock attempt before you attempt to boot into Windows.
other than that i don't know what more to suggest.
