for the life of me i just cannot get this stable. i get either a bluescreen or a failure of prime/occt about 5-10min in. im using Jor3lBR's template for 4.41ghz

the only things i changed are i set the ram to 1:1 (333mhz strap 2.0 multi) and DRAM voltage to 2.1. the driving strength profiles, channel a & b, should i set those to 1066? i've even gone a notch or two higher Vcore, giving me 1.392 windows and still no go. grrr.... its odd because, i boot into windows in under 30sec, just like i do now @ stable sig settings, everything seems smooth and groovy. i dont know how to tell if i need more vcore or if its the mch/cpu ref values that need tweaking.

any ideas?

Try running memtest #5 and #7 for a while. That will tell you if its your ram/mch problem. If that works ok then run prime small fft for a while. If that fails then its a Vcore/Vfsb vtt problem. See what is breaking down before you change anything. If it fails prime blend then it could be anything

This board is amazing.
I was upgrading my wife's PC and I bought a UD3R.
I used to have a DFI DK P45 T2RS for my E8600. Good for benching, but this Giga is awsome for 24/7.
After seeing the results for her PC, I bought a second board for me...

Her E8400 + 2gb G.Skill 8500PK @1200MHz, 5-6-5-15 (non Micron D9):

IBT stable.


First attempt with MemTest: stable.


MemTest86+, 10 pass: stable.


Everest Memory Benchmark.


I set alpha timings to be like the ones from my D9 kits...
This week end I will install the second UD3 under my E8600 (batch Q822A435), and will see what happens.

By the way, I spent lot of time reading and getting very usefull informations from this thread, and that made the approach to this new MB very easy.
So, thanks to all of you.

[Jor3lBR]

Are these the voltage read out points you were looking at? http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...review-15.html

Based on that review I made a little block to measure the voltages safely (should come with something like this from the manufacturer )

does this m/b needs more MCH voltage than other P45s ?

as stated here

http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/revie...html#post48572

I am to choose between EP45-UD3R and P5Q - E( or deluxe@more expensive though)

i have no idea what the reviewer said in there as i have not read the page yet, however, in my opinion based on my experience at using a couple of asus P5Q-D boards, gigabyte P45 UD3's uses less NB voltage at the same CPU and RAM overclocks and with similar system ram configuration.
also my P5Q-D boards were not good boards at all, most of the release BIOS sucked and caused numerous problems in the past, the P5Q-D board looks good with dark colour pcb and the 16 phase component layouts but that's all i used to like about them, but after a while of using the boards i get rid of them, so i can only recommend you to get gigabyte UD3's (either UD3R or UD3P) board. i think asus have made 965P and P35 based boards a lot better than they produces P45.
anyway, you may want to read around first (before you decide which board you like to use) as this threads have covered a lot of things on UD3's boards.

My Q6600 runs fine at defaults. As a matter of fact I can go all the way to 3.6 with everything on auto (which I don't do, but tried for testing). You might want to run your RAM at defaults to see what it does. You also might want to get your hands on the F9a (beta) BIOS. Mine would freeze at any setting with the official F8, but has no problems with the F9a.

[Hardc0r3]

Do this first.

I cannot for the life of almighty get my Gigabyte board to boot correctly with the 2.00B or 2.40 straps.

I believe it's a bug and I'm not sure if Gigabyte will fix this.

the only working stable mch latch for me with 2 x 2gb ocz 1066, e8400 and ud3p rev 1 , bios f8, beyond 435fsb is the super relaxed one 400 mhz, i cant get stable occ with the 333 mhz latch (2.4b or 2.00b) whatever i do beyond 435fsb

[radaja]

one thing you guys can try that works for me is dont set strap (leave on auto) like this.

[Mysterfix]

Hey guys, I need some help here. I'm on my second UD3P v1.1 and the PLL voltage is not correct on this board either. Set it to 1.5v-1.57v or laeve it on auto and I get 1.63v-1.66v under load.

If any of you guys own a multimeter or have access to one can you please check your PLL voltage under load so we can figure out if this is just an isolated case or if there is really something to be concerned about.

The absolute maximum rated PLL voltage according to intel data sheet is 1.57v.

Switch RAM slots, ie red-yellow or yellow-red. Then keep your MCH/VTT BELOW 1.34v. This should keep you going all the way up to ~485FSB.

or is only that MCH Reference thing you are talking about all the time...sry , 975X here no idea about P45, yeah a little bit old fashioned

i switched from a p5q-e with kets modded bios too the ud3r and i never looked back. the p5q required alot more volts and tweaking too get stable. it looks better on paper and on the eyes but thats about it.

[BuGjAE]

May be this is the info for some one who compare this board with P5Q serie. I just got P5Q Deluxe buy the second hand in my country for a while and I can got 550x8 stable very easywith a simple setting in BIOS,but every thing need more Volt than UD3P for sure.!!I don't want to complain my UD3P may be It's not match with my E8600 I try to hit with the high fsb and no luck . Just let you know I 'll back with UD3P later after I got some Quadcore and new ram to this board. I plan to have a new Rig soon.
Now I'm happy with my expected FSB setting.

[TheGanG]

DFi LP DK P45 T2RS + Q9650 = 4883 MHz/Dice
GA EP45T UD3P + Q9650 = 4750 MHz/Air XIGMA Achilles

That's nice

The q9650 I have runs very warm even at stock vid 1.2125v, idle 38c to 40c mid 50's loaded out small fft's. Have tried 3 different HS's a TT120 first then 2 different Ultra120 Extremes, ordered a couple Scythe 133cfm. fans with the same basic results. The 120 does help when loaded out, better than the TT120. Also put the same chip in the other case on a different ud3p with similar temps, even tried a different PSU. I am still shooting for 4.25ghz for 24/7 use. My question is if I am able to get the fsb I need but with a lower multi, is it just a matter of vcore at that point to get it stable with a higher multi? Should I then leave the reference voltages alone? I know the memory is good where it is, so running small fft's trying to get the cpu stable at 473fsb. Will run Prime blend for a final test. At 4.25 ITB would at my temps so that probably isn't an option.
Thanks

that makes two of us (1.2 vid).

i was beginning to think twice about the stature of my lapped true lol... although i just now applied some IC Diamond 7 and its helped a bit.

I have batch #L845B522, also have a q9550 with the same vid-1.2125 but is much cooler running, 30c idle 40's under load. Even with high vcore the 9550 doesn't really even get hot. Guess it was just bad luck.

Hey guys.

I bought my self this motherboard. EP45-UD3P.

It s a high FSB lower. All settings on auto and i reached 664 FSB on C2D E8500:

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=520385

When i benched the E8500 and that mobo under LN2 i reached 671 FSB :
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=527110

I think that the RAM is the problem for a higher FSB.

Max frequency on E8500 was 6015 MHz 1.77V :
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=527087

But i had one problem and that is that the mobo stopped working normaly and started to crash after about 15 min of overclocking. I think that she dosen't like to much cold. I tryed it 5 times and always after about 15 min it started to act funny, giving me bad performance and low clocks. It looks like when the mobo get's cold it refuses to work normaly.

Make that three, mine is 1.21 vid and it also runs hot, even though it's under water. I could likely push it to 4.5ghz but my temps are already pushing 60ºc at 1.36v.

[OC Nub]

This chip just doesn't have what it takes (or I dont) to make it to 4.25ghz on air. Hit 75c running prime small fft's at 1.36v. Will have a better chance with my q9550. Cannot keep the temps down. Was able to get the FSB I wanted just not with a 9 multi so not a total loss , was good experience if nothing else.

[gyasih]

I can't even install OS on this thing. When Vista begins install it crashes either during installation or right after the first boot setting up the computer. I have tried several settings, including Optimized. Could someone point me to a straight out the box BIOS set-up to work with. If all else fails am going to RMA.

I have two HDD's One Seagate, other Western Digital (Both SATA). SATA DVD Burner. I have UD3P, Q6600 G0 or B0 Stepping (Sorry not home). I have 2X2GB Corsair XMS2 Memory 5-5-5-18 1.8V.

This actually happened with my other MOBO. Everything is new except Nvidia 7600GT GPU. PSU-Ultra Modular 800W.

Thanks for the help.
