In the bios default setting is PCI not PEG. Is yours set to PEG?

If you mean first Init, then yes it is set to PEG(1)..

[OC Nub]

Yes that was it. I had a problem when I defaulted my bios with that setting. My Asus board had it set to PEG by default so didn't think to check it on this board.

[kintaro]

so far this is what i can get out of memory with bios f9b.
has somone notice any pefformance gain on any of latest bios?

i own a ep45-ud3p rev 1.0 with bios f8 final, but its the hardest 775 board to get stable from my experience. I previously owned an abit ab9 quadgt and an asus p5k premium and my e8400 was stable @ 4ghz with 1.225 set in bios without any problems with ram @1068, pl6 . I have 2 x 2gb ocz hpc reaper pc8500 and i am having a hell time gettin this board to run @ 4ghz with decent memory timings and voltages . My only stable config was the default settings. I am now testing @ 4ghz with 8.5 x475 fsb, ram settings standard, xmp disabled, 400 strap, ratio 2.00d, ram settings manual @ 5-5-5-15 2.14v, pl9, llc enabled, cpu @ 1.2500, vtt 1.24, vmch 1.28v, every ref up 1 notch, case closed, room temp 23C, eist and c1e enabled cause i don't like to run a 4ghz cpu while browsing websites. BTW i am using vista x64 sp1 and i have creative t6060 5.1 sound speakers but i am only able to hear the rear speakers if i set the audio device to 7.1 speaker configuration. If i set the 5.1 setting i have no rear speakers only the suround ones which ofcourse are not present and when i click on them under the testing menu i hear the sound on my front speakers. When i insert my rear speakers on the black port they are sensed like rear speakers so i really dont know what to think. I am using the sound driver from the gigabyte website.
Hope this helps dualcore users who have a hard time finding 4ghz, 24/7 settings with 2 x 2 gb ram

This settings are fine up to [460*9] or [500*8.5] F.E.A.R. 2 stable.

GA EP45T DS3P
Intel Q9650 (@4883 MHz with LP DK P45-T2RS PLUS)
Kingston Hyperx 1800 MHz (@2000 MHz/Pl. 10)

[oMek]

I've had this board for about a month now, my cpu overclock is stable 4000hmz@8x500 but im really lost on the memory settings.

here is how its set now.. (dont pay attention too the volts I was messing around trying something out :P)

Im looking too either get my ram too 1200mhz, or keep it at 1000mhz with better timein, whatever will give me better memory bandwith

i have the G.Skill PI8800 (1100mhz 5-5-5-15 1.8-1.9v)

[fatguy1992]

Could someone tell me why my PC won't post unless I use the 1:2 RAM driver?

Thanks

[coop]

fatguy1992, you're not new to the board so maybe something your overlooking (in plain sight poss) in some of the less obvious settings. Did it do a reset?
Can someone do a compare of aida32 and Everest mem write read benches? please, for reference. Thanks.

[fatguy1992]

When I applied the settings it would not post, then try again which wouldn't post and then on the third time it would reset back to default, but still show my settings in BIOS. I hope that makes some sense cause i'm really tired atm.

EDIT: I just tested it again and I got the 200MHz Latch with 2.66C to work

[Stanispoulos]

Hi folks,

I need help with OCing my e7300, i can't seem to push it past 3.4ghz and make it stable enough. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

[radaja]

fatguy make sure your not setting performance level too low for any givin strap.sometimes when i switch straps i forget the PL setting.

[TheGanG]

How do we change PL on BIOS? Performance Enhance i think...

I don't know that board enough. But CPU Clock Drive-PCI Express Clock Drive-CPU Clock Skew-MCH Clock Skew and Reference voltages are key factors for lowering voltages and increasing stability.

[xavisimao]

can somebody post recommended bios setting for stock (2.4ghz), 2.8 ghz and 3.0ghz of my spec

Intel Q6600
Gigabyte EP45-UD3R
Palit GTX260 Sonic
Corsair 2x1gb 1066mhz
WD Raptor 74gb 10,000rpm

I always get a BSOD or lag during games.

[pangingIII]

well heres vista x64.maybe its a 32 bit thing?


here is xp X64 at 525fsb this is much better.


and here is vista x64 at 525fsb.strange thing is its seems to be the same as xp?i know for a fact that xp 32 beats vista 32 everytime.

i’m posting to find out how you like your new gkill 9600 kit, and if you don't mind me asking, how much you paid for it?
i still have a brand new UD3R 1.0 ddr2 board and still waiting to get the kit whenever i see the price is right.

in the meantime i'm learning how to use the ddr3 one.
i finally got a better everest's at below 500fsb and strap 266 (4.0A)
and this's under vista 32-bit...

[radaja]

im liking them alot pangingIII.i got this kit for 240$

[Mysterfix]

Did anybody else notice how high the pll voltage spikes under load? My multimeter is showing 1.63v-1.66v under load with pll voltage set to 1.5v in bios. Dropping it down to 1.45v keeps it under 1.55v under load.

Is this a common problem or should I return this board for another one is 1.6xv safe for 24/7 use? I read that anything over 1.64v could cause degradation or death with these 45nm chips.

BTW, I got my Q9650 up to 4.4ghz @ 1.36v SS are in the Q9650 thread.

[radaja]

heres a comparison of 525x8 everest scores the only difference is theone with the low copy(9k) is 32bit XP OS and the 11k copy score is x64 XP OS.

[pangingIII]

im liking them alot pangingIII.i got this kit for 240$

were you buy it from an online stores, and do you know if they ship worldwide?
240 USD is quite good, i saw the other day at the memoryc.com 241 euro.
i just need to wait till it get cheaper myself but i like to check it out at the online store.

[radaja]

i bought mine used here on XS.

Am I invisible, has this been discussed, or is it that nobody cares?

[Jor3lBR]

Those measuring points are not accurate, Gigabyte has yet to confirm where they really are. I tried to ask on their official forum but only got points for another board that hardly compare to this one.

i dont own a DMM yet.sorry
