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

[DOM.]

Thanks man, for the help, but I give up. No offense, but those were the worst settings yet. It was so bad that the bios wouldn't even reset itself like it has everytime in the past. I had to physically clear cmos with the jumper.

It's so strange that these board can be so vastly different. While the settings you gave work for you, but for me not at all. The QA specs that these boards pass in order to ship must be pretty loose.

Anyway, at least I've got my 9x450 which isn't what I wanted but it's totally stable and I can run on it 24/7. The couple of times that I got it up at 442x9.5, I ran Far Cry 2 for a few minutes and got higher frame rates than at 450x9, so I know my 450x9 OC is bottle necking my 4870 X2 a little. But oh well, I'm getting such high frame rates anyway, (over 100 most of the time in FC2 with all settings maxed at 1900x1200), a few more doesn't matter.

So again, thanks for the help, but I'm done.

You know, I could put my 4870 X2 in my P5Q rig that's running at 4.2Ghz and put my GTX 280 in this ud3p rig and then no bottle neck. I dunno, we'll see.

Right, well that's what I would need I think, all the settings. Your board is somehow able to run with you just changing a couple of volts, etc. I think I would need someone to give me each and every setting and include all menus like ram drivings and so on. Otherwise there are too many to try and mess with. Oh if I didn't work and could spend days on end tweaking settings, eventually I could probably get it.

But I do work and also I doubt anyone in this forum would want to spend time to give me a full template to try. I appreciate the help I've received, but in order to get this done would take someone with a lot of time to work with me. Your lucky to have gotten a board that works faily easily with just minor changes.

Thanks again,
