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

You are right, there is no point in comparing the boards like this anymore.

That was what I wanted to do. But the comparison we are trying is just not fair and reasonable. After Jor3lBR post, no conclusion can be made at all.

The 45nm Q9650 vs 65nm Q6700 is what makes the comparison not doable. But there are a lot of other differences too. Seens like there is no program to read the volts and temps of the UD3P on windows. I mean, that ET6 program, don't show the actual voltages of the board, it just shows the values you are setting it, but you could set a value of 1.5v, and the board could overvolt it to 1.55v for example. I is just not a "reading / reporting" board voltages and temps, not a trustable one.

Also, different PSU's, I see his PSU doing 12.1v on load, mine is arround 11.9v on load.

Also, he didn't show prime, and even if he did, there would still not help the comparison as there are to many differences.

He's UD3P needed less (much less) vtt and pll. But thoses are very cpu related, and then the advantage of running a 45nm Q9650 vs 65nm Q6700 kicks in. So many differences.

My memory bandwidth on the same clocks were higher, but them again, this means nothing.

We can't just compare like this, soooo many differences. At first I thought it would be reasonable, but it is not. Can't make a conclusion after it.

I am interested in a fair comparison, and I am trying to get one of this UD3P board to myself, so I can test it on the same hardware. But I live in Brazil, and computer parts are a bit expensive here. If I ever get teh boards, I will post a fair comparison, whatever the results are.
