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

[zyfer]

Hello everyone.

I just got a UD3P, and installed it in the machine. My problem is that I can´t boot over 450FSB, even 451FSB is a no go. It just begins to beep at boot.

It is otherwise very stable at 9x450FSB. (Prime95)..

Is there a setting in the bios, that can causing this??

Running F4 Bios... (Q9650)..

Can you please post your bios/voltage settings so someone can look at them and see if we can figure out your problem.

Use .63x as the multipler for figuring out GTLs.

VTTx.63=GTL voltage

So, if VTT is 1.20, do 1.20x.63=75.6v, or in this case you would chose .76v in the GTL list. Same method and format goes for the NB. Using that formula I was able to get a CPU-Z validation with my Q9550 at 555FSB on air

Nice, I was wondering if there was a way to calculate it. What is the max VTT should be is it 1.4v for quads?

I'm at 1.26 or 1.28 when I went higher - so I still need to be about .80+ for the GTL which is about where I was. My problem with going lower is that Prime Blend was failing. Bumping it where I am now fixed that.

Try this out. FWIW, for me the F4 didnt clock any better then the F7.

[turbotrey]

Anyone try out the official F8 yet?

[turbotrey]

Any suggestions on how to go higher? I used to do 445x9 on my Abit IP35-E

[DOM.]

Load-Line Calibration - enabled
CPU Vcore - 1.34xx (dont recall which one, but it's one of the 1.34 options)
CPU Termination - 1.26v
CPU PLL - 1.57
CPU Reference - .838

MCH Core 1.26v or 1.28v
MCH Reference .838
MCH/DRAM Refernce AUTO
ICH I/O - lowest selectable
ICH Core - lowest selectable

DRAM Voltage - 1.82v
DRAM Termination - AUTO
Channel A Ref - AUTO
Channel B Ref - AUTO

also can you try 8X500 ?
Yep but my chip doesn't like 500. It boots but it's very unstable.

well my multi is 8 on my Q so i got it stable at 500X8 but with 1.44v on CPU Termination & MCH Core the only ones i set are those and CPU Vcore & DRAM Voltage the rest I set to Normal

Use .63x as the multipler for figuring out GTLs.

VTTx.63=GTL voltage

So, if VTT is 1.20, do 1.20x.63=75.6v, or in this case you would chose .76v in the GTL list. Same method and format goes for the NB. Using that formula I was able to get a CPU-Z validation with my Q9550 at 555FSB on air

whats GTL Voltage & VTT ? CPU Termination

[Hoss331]

vtt on this board is cpu termination and gtls are the references

[PortCitySlim]

vtt on this board is cpu termination and gtls are the references

Yep and the "Static tRead" is the Performance level. MCH Frequency latch is the same as the bootstrap/FSB Strap on other boards. Would I be correct to assume that the "Performance Enhance" is similar to the ASUS "Clock Twister" ram setting?


Also, if anyone ever comes up with an explanation as to what the "Drive Strength Profile" actually does and the correct way to set it for certain clocks, please post the answer. Thanks

[hicookie]

Hello everyone.

I just got a UD3P, and installed it in the machine. My problem is that I can´t boot over 450FSB, even 451FSB is a no go. It just begins to beep at boot.

It is otherwise very stable at 9x450FSB. (Prime95)..

Is there a setting in the bios, that can causing this??

Running F4 Bios... (Q9650)..

try higher cpu termination voltage on quad?

My guess is internal NB latencies. If you choose the 1066 profile Im sure performance will be a bit slower but more stable OC.

You know overclocking has lost it's "fun" factor. With all these settings and voltages its so much more frustrating now. It was great when you had vcore, NB and SB voltages and none of this crap with GTL references to deal with.

I was telling a friend last night, I do love this new chip and board but it took alot of messing with to get it stable....I really missed the simplicity of overclocking my Q6600 on the P5B-deluxe and P5K-E that didn't have quite so many options you had to fool with. I can only imagine the end of easy overclocking is past and it's probably going to get more difficult.

[ghost_recon88]

My guess is internal NB latencies. If you choose the 1066 profile Im sure performance will be a bit slower but more stable OC.

So setting it to "OC-1333" will yield even higher NB latencies?

which revision? 1.0 or 1.1?

[bluestang]

Try a higher FSB with a lower multi, say 8x500 or 8x525 and so on. It will perform better too!

i finally got through to gigabyte and they said that my board was sent out on tuesday,so with any luck i should have it up and running with my 9650 by the weekend.I CAN NOT WAIT,but i have to.its gonna be a great weekend for sure.

Whats wrong with your board? Do think i can change mine just tell then that my board is not ok? BUt my board is fine, just doesnt feel confortable with high fsb like 500+, and if i change maybe i can get more from it...

[systemviper]

which revision? 1.0 or 1.1?

Is there a noticible difference?

[Jor3lBR]

Is there a noticible difference?

Rev 1.1 sticker, fat ddr2 slots and diferent pwm 2 and sb heatsinks, same OC's results.

Viper great GTX scores on vantage mate !!!!

I want that 9.5 multi! You have any info on when intel plans to release that processor and the Q9750?

[coop]

just a screen

[radaja]

xbiusx,my board first stopped recognizing my harddrive randomly then it just wouldnt boot anymore.to your question,no they will just send the same board back if they find nothing wrong.the only time they give a different board back is if they cant repair the one you send.im hoping they that they could repair mine cause its a decent board.but if not oh well ill just have to learn what the new one likes.COOP,nice fsb.what is that program that looks like everest in your SS?

[coop]

^^ that is AIDA32. It is free and has quite a bit of information but could use more comprehensive benchmarks.

[radaja]

thanks ill give it a go.

Hi Guys,

I have a problem with my UD3P and I hope someone can help me...

Whenever I set to 'Sleep' in Vista and I try to wake the system from sleep, the system will power-up for 3 secs then power-down.

The system will keep repeating the above process (i.e., powering up for 3 secs and powering down without waking up properly) until i manually switch off the PSU.

Any idea why this happens? I have not installed Gigabyte's Dynamic Energy Saver and S3(STR) mode is already enabled in Bios.


Here are my specs:
Q9650 (w/Xigmatek s1283) + Gigabyte P45 UD3P
SilverStone Zeus ST75ZF 750W
Team Xtreem Dark PC2-8500 1066MHz
8800GTX

EDIT: ok.. i searched abit and realised this is an existing problem. any fixes yet?

[Hoss331]

S3 is broken, I dont think they have a fix yet.

[stasio]

S3 is broken, I dont think they have a fix yet.

Try BIOS F9a released today.
