Marc, try the same settings above but change the "CPU Host Frequency (Mhz)" to 467. This will cut your ram some slack and give you 4.2ghz. Make sure and check settings as some change automatically when changing something else. If that don't help try again, 467x9, but change the "Drive Strength Profiles OC-1066" to OC-1200.

xbiusx, my mems for that were Crucial 8500. An early or older set now. I have some KHX8500 that are almost as good and I used them together with the 4x1gb screen. I just got them and they were only 49.00 But I even beat that, la couple weeks or so I got a set of Tracers for 29. (zzf) but they were 49 a week or so ago.) They are at 567 with 2.24v in my Asus. *The lights are cool.* I have a 2gb set og G.Skill 2x2 the pq ones. Have not had time to play with yet.

Hi coop, dude i have to say you are lucky man, i don`t know why but i tried your settings as well, but didn`t work. Even with 1.4+ vcore 1.36 vtt my system only boot but doesn`t load the windows.

Wish i could buy one pair of crucial, there is no resellers here in amsterdam , i`m thinking try g.skill or mushkin.

So, only think left me is try and try lol...

^^, was telling marcnapier. But, "why do you have 9x500 = 4,500Mhz dialed in ??", yes.
xbiusx, are you changing your "latch" and "system memory multiplier"? I'm sure you will need to if not.

[Jor3lBR]

You still gonna post your 4500 stable template? I'm dyin to give it a try.

Its coming up Nugzo I just didn't finish all the tests I wanted. I'm setting up a system for a friend this week so hopefully I will get back to the settings soon enough.

i did on my first attempt , no success... i`m curious because just to load few seconds on xp it takes more than 1.4v on vcore and 1.61 pll and 1.36vtt and even so i did`t got inside.
in comparison with your settings i should able to load windows and start testing with small ftt, but for now its just a dream.

[siyah]

i have testet with the new bios F7A for my UD3R Rev1.0 FSB 540 on water,my ocz reapers are on end

[coop]

xbiusx, I don't know what to say. I got lucky with my chip and board.
siyah, that is really nice. Can you tell any difference with this bios and the previous one you had? Great voltages.

[adya]

just installed F7a ,
my crucials are still showing up as pc 6400 ?? i have 4 sets and all of them pc 8500 ,but they all show up as 6400?? something weird going on there. lol
displays wrong on cpuz ,et6 and memset . any ideas ?
in bios they run at 1066 mhz at 2.2v same ram runs at 2.0v on my other boards. not sure if its bios related.

[siyah]

@coop

I have no different to its predecessor voltages, I have noticed the same set

Hi adya, welcome to the Giga UD3P thread. Nice move you made from the DFI to the Giga.

No that's only tweaks related, you will find it will perform as the DFI with the necessary tweaks and with the same volts.

Of course the P35 and X48 platforms are faster on ram readings then P45, but that means less OC on the cpu

I wouldn't worry about the wrong terminology (PC6400) if they are performing the same.

[cooldaddy]

Hey guys,
I am trying to run my Q9550 on the UP3P at 3.8Ghz but can't quite get it 100% stable yet, so i thought I would ask you guys for some help. Sometimes i can get OCCT to run for the hour and sometimes not, the times that I cannot i get BSOD's. With Prime95 I either get BSOD or one of the workers fail, seems to be #2 alot.

Hi adya, welcome to the Giga UD3P thread. Nice move you made from the DFI to the Giga.

No that's only tweaks related, you will find it will perform as the DFI with the necessary tweaks and with the same volts.

I wouldn't worry about the wrong terminology (PC6400) if they are performing the same.

thanks mate,
yeh ur not wrong ,
just playing with fsb its at 520mhz ill change divider see how memory goes.
its hard doing this with the weather here in oz its around 45c lol think ill wait for cooler weather lol

[adya]

hey how accurate are vtt ref set on auto? im playing with vtt but leaving ref on auto , i read somewhere auto ref are fairly good on this board ??

[Jor3lBR]

Its not good mate, at least for quads. CPU Ref and MCh Ref on Auto will cause lost of stability and memtest errors (test #7).

I would set vtt to 1.20vtt and use some of the sucessefull templates for your cpu.

For 45nm Quads CPU Ref is usually around +1 above the stock 0.760 @ 1.200vtt and +1 above stock 0.760 also for mch ref, for example (may vary from board to board cpu to cpu).

Wish i could buy one pair of crucial, there is no resellers here in amsterdam ,

I'm in Holland too, and I bought a set of crucial . They ship to the netherlands....

[pierrandre]

S3 fixed?

Nobody has ever answered this after the F5 went out ... I've never updated my BIOS (Im still with the F4) because I don't want to loose my time and settings for a bios update which doesn't resolve this FU...ING S3 BUG ... this is really annoying !!!

Gigabyte, your board rock !! your bios don't !!
Overclock and loose S3
don't clock and get S3 feature ...
I don't want to choose !!!!

[fatguy1992]

Whats S3?

Really? Where? i searched on many sites on internet and didn`t find reseller...

please let me know.

[InterMurph2]

Hello everybody...

I just got a EP45-UD3P after 2.5 years with an Asus P5W DH Deluxe. I got my new Q9650 up to 3.40 GHz, but due to the P5W's FSB wall at ~375MHz and the CPU's 9x multiplier, I couldn't get beyond that.

I'm looking for a good place to start with the UD3P to get it to 4.0 GHz on air.

So whose settings should I start with?

Thanks.

[Loony]

I would gladly settle for 100-200MHz lower OC and fully working computer than this.

Marc, try the same settings above but change the "CPU Host Frequency (Mhz)" to 467. This will cut your ram some slack and give you 4.2ghz. Make sure and check settings as some change automatically when changing something else. If that don't help try again, 467x9, but change the "Drive Strength Profiles OC-1066" to OC-1200.

xbiusx, my mems for that were Crucial 8500. An early or older set now. I have some KHX8500 that are almost as good and I used them together with the 4x1gb screen. I just got them and they were only 49.00 But I even beat that, la couple weeks or so I got a set of Tracers for 29. (zzf) but they were 49 a week or so ago.) They are at 567 with 2.24v in my Asus. *The lights are cool.* I have a 2gb set og G.Skill 2x2 the pq ones. Have not had time to play with yet.

Thanks, I will give that a try. I really appreciate the help. I'll try tonight when I get home from work, or Thurs night. I'll report back what happened.

marc

[marcnapier]

If your trying to get to why do you have 9x500 = 4,500Mhz dialed in ??
Or have I missed something ?

Well since I wasn't having any luck with the 442x9.5, I thought I would try a variation of the easytune OC of 450x9 = 4.05, which is totally stable. I thought maybe that the 9.5 multi just won't fly. So the settings I posted are the last I tried and they didn't work, really unstable and blue screens.

So basically I'm trying anything to try and get somne speed out of this board/cpu. Do you have settings or suggestions for 442x9.5? If so, I would definitely prefer that OC over 500x9, which doesn't seem to want to run anyway.

Thanks for the reply and any help, I really apprecate it.

marc

[marcnapier]

Yeah just to clarify so as not to confuse anyone.....or myself, I would like to get 442x9.5 with ram at 884 1:1. I like running ram at 1:1, but this 450x9 OC that is stable puts my ram at 1080. But if 442x9.5 isn't going to work, then some other combination to get me above 4.05, preferably to 4.2Ghz or above. I was trying that 500x9 just because it's close to 450x9 which is stable.

As I said, I know the cpu can do it becuase I had it in another board running 4.2Ghz 24/7 totally prime stable and gamed on it a bunch with no probs.

Thanks to everyone who replied, or may reply, I really appreciate it.
