maybe driving strength profile?.isnt ai clock twister the one that i moderate/strong/stronger?

yes

what is it under in the UD3 Gigabyte boards?

[radaja]

this is the closest thing i can find.performance enhance goes standard/turbo/extreme i think?

Ok, thanks much!

Ok, thanks much!

Glad to see you joined the team finally. Did you end up getting a Gigabyte UD3p for your 9650? You should love it.

I was just coming to re-read for help on my 9550. I have my 9550 running at 4.25ghz but want to try for 4.5ghz. Just cant remember all the settings, LOL.

WOW, hey man! Long time no hear

I am hanging onto my MIIF board as well. I did buy another Q9650 though for this hopeful UD3R - sold off my i7 for 240 to a local guy - haha; and I am trying to squeeze the loop in my PC-60 case! got any shoe horns i can borrow!? lol ; going to use a 655 with a micro res v2 1/2 id and a MCR 220 QP

I did manage to get 480fsb with some help from over here but I think 500+fsb will be impossible cause of the geometry of design-specifics

[529th]

Why do i end up logged out after 5 or so minutes when I don't want to log out?

[radaja]

well heres my 24/7 setup.with voltages im comfortable with.

I try to stay off the forums lately because I get stuck buying uneccessary stuff from the hot deals section after researching around the forums. So my H20 might be on hold for a few months. Now I am thinking about swapping out my ati gpus for nvidia to help my FAH. This is exactly why I havent been around much lately, lol. too many opions and crazy thoughts in my head.

Good luck with this board. I am now currently running my9550 on this board at 4.25ghz which is 500*8.5. want to push for more. This is also with my OCZ Vendetta 2. Temps are a bit higher now that the board is in a case, but still not bad. I think loaded temps are around 45*c will have to verify. I need to add some better fans to the case. keep in touch

well heres my 24/7 setup.with voltages im comfortable with.

Nice results Radaja! Can you post the template of your final bios settings for me please? even though you are on a 9650 you are right in my ballpark of what I need. Thanks

Did Gigabyte finally fix the issue with 2.40B and MCH Vcore of above 1.4V?

Did Gigabyte finally fix the issue with 2.40B and MCH Vcore of above 1.4V?

Not that im aware of, im using the latest bios and it still will not boot when preset in the bios.

[kintaro]

Hi
Finaly last night i manage to set up my new rig:
EP45-UD3P bios F9
Intel QX 9770
1x320GB WD
2X1GB Team Xtreem DDR2 PC2-10400 1300MHz
Sapphire radeon 4870X2
Vista Ultimate x64
Scythe Mugen 2
CoolerMaster Real Power M1000 PSU (1000W)

Boot at optimized defults vcore=1.1500 and mem at 1200MHz.
the only amazing thing for me was cpu temp=20-17-19-20 at idle.
run wprime 32 and 1024 everything fine and max temp 28c.

i'll revert with screenshots and every sugestion welcome.
i'm wondering if this board can support this current hungry cpu at high clocks.

[zyfer]

*radaja

Sorry i didnt post yet im having now same problem as zyfer...

I had the MF2 with the 8800 ultra at 756/1782/2304 vmoded vgpu at 1,48 and vmem at 2,24 runing perfect...

Now i cant even do the same with 1,52 vgpu and vmem 2,25

On the MF2 12V rail read 12.10V now on the UD3P reads 11,92...

Im really lost on this, i have very good CPU speed but crap graphics...

Its not drivers i tested newer and old ones and both VISTA 64SP1 and XP64 SP2 ----I have my doubts on the PSU but should do the work its a TT Toughpower 850W...

Cheers
Sergio

Hello again ..

I've tried to put the graphic card in the lower port2 (x8), and run 3dmark06. There after, back in port1 (x16). I get the same result in both ports, it should run significantly faster in port1 (x16) but do not???...

Are there others who have this problem, and maybe a solution ...

[cholo777]

so, are you trying to get high ram clocks for 1: 24/7, 2: benching??? any D9 ics 2GB kits should clock great. what voltage was use for all the kits above? i would think u could get higher than 1100Mhz with cas5, my powerchip ics corsair dom pc2 8500 ver4.1 could do 1200 cas5 and both my corsair dom 8500 ver1.2 D9s do around 1340Mhz and 1350Mhz cas5,

sorry it took me so long to come back to you,i am looking for 24/7 use, something that is stable, i never put too many volts through my kits to be honest.
corsair kit was 2.1volts - think i sold them to early - but i am bit inexperienced
crucial ballistix 2.0 volts
crucial balistix led's 2.0 volts
ocz reapers 2.2 volts - they were unstable at 1100mhz to be honest

got some more coming lol,
cellshock pc2-6400c5
adata pc2-8500
both 2 gig kits
think i need to sell some

any help or advice would be great - might need ram cooling aswell

im just doing some quick test's,to see what the g.skill 9600's can do.

[Allubz]

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

@ Radaja: What's up with your copy speed. I'm running same clocks as you with lower freq. ram:

[529th]

Why did you sell your I7; Im thinking about buying another one or maybe another 9550 or 9650. working on a NAS/ Crunching machine. I try to stay off the forums lately because I get stuck buying uneccessary stuff from the hot deals section after researching around the forums. So my H20 might be on hold for a few months. Now I am thinking about swapping out my ati gpus for nvidia to help my FAH. This is exactly why I havent been around much lately, lol. too many opions and crazy thoughts in my head.

Good luck with this board. I am now currently running my9550 on this board at 4.25ghz which is 500*8.5. want to push for more. This is also with my OCZ Vendetta 2. Temps are a bit higher now that the board is in a case, but still not bad. I think loaded temps are around 45*c will have to verify. I need to add some better fans to the case. keep in touch

This forum is a little weird. I would of never gotten an email or notice stating you made a response

I do believe the MIIF board has been holding my first Q9650 back - I did boot into windows at 500fsb & 8mulit but pc would crash/freeze up 5 seconds into prime. I'm going to push for 4.5Ghz on the new board. The one thing to my surprise I do like about the MIIF board is the Ai Clock Twister which I'm wondering whats the equivalent on the Gigabyte board!?

I do know what you are talking about. I have and bought un-necessary parts for my loop. Dude, I have 4 blocks right now. The first EK i bought a while ago, I bought an EK light (is 1366 compatible) cause I am anticipating keeping the i7 on my high pressure loop (i could of just bought the 1366 mounting plate for 10$) and then, I bought another EK clear acrylic Supreme with a 1366 mounting plate used off the FS:FT forum - lol - not to mention I also picked up a GTZ Apogee for my low noise/pressure 655 & Micro res setup for my UD3R setup - but the good thing about the block purchases, is the resale on them is good so... lol

I am sorta relieved I sold off my i7 - I hear D0 will be coming out maybe the beginning of next quarter and maybe by then, the i7 mobo's will have all the bull worked out. I've heard so many horror stories as well as success stories on them, it just seems like a 50/50 chance. And none of the boards do I really like. How is yours goin?

Good to hear from you man, hope all is well, ttyl!

[Mech0z]

Just got my EP34-UD3P anyone have some basic settings on what to touch to get 3.6+ on Q6600? I have never tried a Gigabyte bios, and my ram can run 900mhz 4-4-4-12 @ 2.3 if thats of any help.
