The first thing that catches my eye is your MCH/DRAM Reference. I would adjust this to 1.050 like your channel A/B reference. These settings I gave you last night for 2.1v RAM are exactly the same settings that Hoss331 is using for his overclock stability and they are passing 8+ hour Prime95 blends. I use a lower ram voltage but it lowers down easily enough, for every .02v you lower your RAM you will notice that the reference for that lowers .01v. I am at 2.00v RAM and a 1.000 reference.

Leaving your CPU TM and No-Execute might not cause you problems(I used to run with them enabled). But remember down the line when you try a blend/OCCT RAM large ftt packet test that disabling these can sometimes solve buggy instability problems.

Setting your performance enhance to turbo might not improve your performance overall, after tweaking you might get better settings to boot on standard. I would say that you should start with Standard and after your finished tweaking everything see if you can run on Turbo. My RAM settings are exactly as follows...

Does anyone know whether separate NB watercooling is an option?

Or does the whole sink needs to be removed thus the MOSFET's need an extra cooler too?

Thank in advance,

Thank in advance,

you can take off the NB and heatpipe hold the MOSFET's HS and hold the heatpipe and twist heatpipe it and it should pop lose, i did it with mine and it worked need to take off the v-card to slide out the heat pipe

It is recommended to uninstall the Heatpipes from the motherboard then use a hair dryer to heat the double sided tape that hold them together and then twist them out.

Never do this with the heatpipes attached to the mobo.

well it worked and i didnt feel like taking out the mobo to take off the mofest hs off

thats why i like my Danger Den Torture Rack

Sounds perfect, thank you a lot!

So I upgraded from my Maximus Formula x38 @ x48 to the UD3P. It seems I'm having a really sucky CPU which doesn't overclock too nice at all.

I'm at pretty decent air cooling and temperatures are all fine, even better than on the Max.

CPU VID: 1.2250v

On the Max 4.0GHz (9x445) was achievable I think with either 1.4v or 1.45v.

The RAM pretty much maxed out around 1200MHz CL5 2.4v on the Max, same goes for this board.

BIOS version: F8

I’ll set it to 1.050, but do you think I should try to lower the ram voltage a little bit?
2.060 with 1.030 A/B reference and MCH/DRAM Reference? like what you gave Hoss331 here ?

ok I’ll disable it, I just thought that those would help me not frying CPU or Memory

will set it to standard, I just kept it to Turbo cuz that’s what it was when everything was at stock

do you think I should set “Static tRead Value” at 8 instead of 9 like your settings? Specially that mine already shows 8 as a default value!

For me 2.00D at PL9 gives me slighty better everest scores than 2.00B at PL10. Also am I seeing that correctly you have PLL set to 1.15?

didn’t really understand but I’ll give 266/2.50A a shot
you mean "CPU PLL"? it's @ 1.50 not 1.15

manny thanks for all the help everyone

Sure lower it away, if it passes keep lowering it

SURE! That is what I was meaning about using standard and trying better Tread values and write training. Set your to stardard and see how low your Tread value will boot, that is after you get your multi and ram speed set to your liking.

I would follow Hoss331's advice with setting a higher RAM Multi, Hoss helps me with my settings and is pretty good at this stuff.

I would not worry about the Thermal Monitor and your current overclock. Your not going to experience high load temps so Thermal Monitor is going to be useless for you. Even at my clock speeds sometimes I do get my chip a bit hot(If I linpack) but the important thing to do is monitor your temps and even if they get above 70C as long as your not running that hot for a long period of time your not going to "fry" one of these Q9550/Q9650 chips.

266/2.50A didn’t work … BSOD during windows startup.
anyway latch@333 with multi@ 2.04B is good for running@ close to stock for me (1020)

i wonder why ET6 show 0.9 for DRAM Termination & channel A/B reference & MCH/DRAM reference though they are 1.050 in bios!
after work i'll try 2.060 with 1.030 , if it worked i'll give 1.920 with 0.960 a shot

I managed to pass P95 at like 1.16** vcore, can I set it to that or it’s not a good idea to go below stock?

ET6 does the same thing for me. If your current overclock is passing 1.16vcore small ftt's in prime 95 that means your CPU is stable at that speed. For me that would mean time to test my ram/nb in a blend using the same CPU vcore, if the blend passes several hours then you got your stability for that overclock. Settings look fine, I do not know if your setting your MCH reference correct but your RAM references look good. Good luck with your Blend!

hi lads
I bought this after reading countless good reviews and have played with it for some time,only managed to get 5 different sets of ram to run at a max of 1120 mhz, that was 2gig kit of crucial ballistix on 5-5-5-15, tried this with corsair pc2-6400c3 - no go there - had crucial tracer 2gig - no go - had 2gig kit reapers pc2-9200 - they were unstable on this board - got 4gig pc2-8500 g-skill they can only go 1080mhz - do i need to loosen those timings a bit - thinking about team xtreme aswell but they are quite expensive,maybe its the cpu which is limiting me.
i have a xeon 3045 - quite hard as only have multi of 6 or 7 - 450fsb -hate the ram options on this - linked to fsb,so anything above 450fsb - u need ram that can hit 1100mhz -think that is not great-given that this board is capable of running ddr2 ram at 1366+ mhz
did have a qx9650 for a couple of weeks,but as soon as i altered voltages the temps on the cpu rocketed,so i sold that- i like the xeon as it runs ultra cool just struggling to find the right set of ram that can take me higher.
wanted to also ask in the bios on health management what things in there need to be disabled,and what ram recommendations would you lads suggest,
any advice would be great,cheers in advance

Got my GA EP45T UD3P (1.0). Do we use same thread for DDR3 boards?
