Anybody running F6 on the UD3R? Have you noticed a difference and if so what? Thanks.

[clo007]

I loaded f6 yesterday. No difference for me, as my issue with ram slots is still present. I emailed tech support at gigabyte and waiting a response.

[radaja]

this ET6 update thing is driving me mad!now i wish i hadnt updated the bios.

[bluestang]

Isn't there also a updated version of ET6 that came out about 2 weeks ago?

im on it,... didnt notice any difference whatsoever

[radaja]

bluestang,i never had this problem before.it all started when i flashed to F8a bios. once i rebooted i got this annoying little message say that my gigabyte application has found an update and i need to go to the gigabyte website and update it.well i downloade the newest version of ET6 and tried doing an update install but got wierd erros.so i uninstall the old one and installed the new one,but it still keeps popping up after every boot.

[neo mike]

Wont do you reflash to F7, F8A is a beta anyway, then wait till f8 is a final bios.

Agreed. I like f7 better anyway.

I had the same problem with F8a. I downloaded the latest ET6 too. I believe everybody using F8a is having it.

[radaja]

thats what im going to do,i just sucks cause i have only flashed the board once before this from F4 to F5.and i onlyflashed it again cause i thought it would be better for quad OCing.oh well f7 here i come.well heres my latest.still trying to get higher.

mess with your gtl's i have to have mine at the exact settings to get it stable..

cpu ref: .73
mch ref: .68

any higher or lower on each and its not stable..

and i can do 580x8 orthos stable...

I have done 550x7 with my E8400 C0 (can´t do 550x8 with it) not blend thou but 32M and 50 loop LinX. I hope my screenie can help you some.

Couldn't you jsut uninstall the gigabyte updater?

Love to see those high FSB's

[radaja]

i would but im nit thar good with the software side of things.i dont even have the slightest clue as to where it would be to turn it off?

Thanks bro, what Cpu are you using my E8600 doesn't like cpu ref below 0.76
I try higher than 0.76 now.

Thanks ghostleader ,may be yr RAM can do 550 properly. I just got new Crucial 2x2 GB kits that can do 600 mhz (ddr-1200) I try the setting like your before but not success. Do you think Cpu reff need to adjust? I never touch it

[NghtShd]

Has anyone used a Scythe Infinity cooler on the UD3R or UD3P? If so, any problems fitting it?

[nugzo]

I cant wait to try an E8700 on this board.

[clo007]

I can't wait till I get my board to run two sticks of ram

[fatguy1992]

Theres a E8700

here's a story BuGjAE, i used to experience similar issues when i had tried to get an e8400 555fsb stable on a certain P45-based board (not this UD3R) and i found the board seems very picky about CPU/NB ref. setting, once i found a good working spots (i mean otherwise the board refuses to boot) for 525fsb which's my starting cpu fsb overclock, i could continue using the same CPU and NB GTL_ref values but kept increasing vcore voltage and i still could get a stable computer til 542fsb, and then no matter what i increased the vcore, vtt, nb, vdimm to, i couldnt not stable 550fsb. then it took me a long while after that for a 555fsb stable. if i still remember, as i never wrote those setting down on paper, on the certain board i seemed to require setting 64% for my CPU and NB was 59.5-60% at the time.

for the UD3R and/or UD3P i couldn’t be much help since i have never actually tried to get a real stable with the same overclock on my UD3R board.
but i think it's time to touch it and to try with a different GTL_ref. setting.
i think, it's all possible, that's why the higher (and lower) CPU/MCH ref. value setting do exists in bios.
i recall you have made a stable 533-538fsb on this cpu with your previous ram kit before, so besides if the ram was holding everything back, it's possible that you are required to use an entire different cpu pll, vtt, mch, GTL_ref. values, etc.

[Phunky Phish]

No one any ideas on getting an E6600 to run stable?

[pangingIII]

Anybody running F6 on the UD3R? Have you noticed a difference and if so what? Thanks.

i seem to always want to flash bios back to F4 (i actually like F3 version if it had an ability to save and to retrieve a saved cmos setting profiles from USB drives),

i think F4 is the best bios file for me already, however, i will continue to try newer bios files at whenever gigabyte releases them and once i don't find an importance improvement in bios at my end i will keep on going back to F4.

btw, i havent used the board's Q-flash utility on this UD3R's yet, i use DOS flash progarm for my UD3R's bios flashing and have been flashing the bios quite a bit of times without a single bad flash bios. Q-flash utility seem to be reliable as well, i used to use the utility all the time on my previous gigabyte's, it's just i always have an USB drive attached to the UD3R board and this drive already contain the DOS flash progarm.

I have issues with mine also, seems like above 4.3 I need higher CPU reff, like .785-.80v, But I still have not got it stable
