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

[jas420221]

Well, I found a little better chip to play with and here is where I am at with 4.608Ghz... Looking for more, any suggestions? I havent tweaked voltages down or checked for stability past a 06/vantage/Pifast/SPi/Wprime runs though.

Hows that vcore at 4.6Ghz? Better then my old chip at 1.5v!
Is VTT to high at 1.4v?
What about the NB? Its not actively cooled but can be.

Im looking to get 4.8Ghz+ out of her for benching runs.

[OC Nub]

At 1.4125vcore bios, Cpuz and Everest read 1.376v. That is odd to get almost 0 drop with the UD3P. I have 3 UD3P boards, 2 rev's, 1.0 and 1.1, all 3 have pretty much the same vdrop.

[jas420221]

It is what it is.... .01-.02 vdrop. It *may * be 1.425 or w/e, but no more then that. Any assitance with my actual questions?

[OC Nub]

Try changing your advanced clock control to 800/800/0/50. You may need more mch 1.40-1.440v . Also you may have to up your trfc with that ram, try staticTread value of 9.

[Triton]

I got the UD3P (rev 1.1 F9 BIOS) 3 days ago, want some help with settings:

Q9650 @ 4.15GHz, 1.312v load (LLC enabled) rebooted P95 Blend at 7hrs. I had raised CPU Ref from AUTO 63% to 65%, but should MCH Ref be same as CPU Ref? I still have MCH Ref @ 63%.

63->65% CPU Ref gave me 1.5hr more on P95 Blend before reboot.

Also, if I use 2.1vdimm, should the other "dram voltages" be set to 50% of vdimm, or atleast above 0.900v ?

CPU and PCIe drive...I read forum posts the new F10b defaults these to 700mv, I set 800mv on both, would I benefit setting them 700mv ?

MCH Skew, used 50ps on earlier attempt, rebooted 1hour earlier than 0ps.

Don't have much left on AUTO, PLL and ICH are set 1.5 and 1.2v and rest on Normal to prevent overvolting. I also read somewhere, PLL 1.50v overvolts and 1.45v would be fine ?

Oh, and vcore... Shows up in cpuz with 16mv intervals....1,280, 1.296, 1.312...same in BIOS "PC Health", nothing inbetween.

My 1.3500v BIOS = 1.312v idle/load, seen ppl with 1.328v ..??

Ok, I will give it a whirl. Why would lowering my PL (staticTread) be better? Doesnt that tighten it down?

Yes but I have been able to run pl9 for benching up to 4700mhz. Unless you are trying to get stable at 4.7-4.8ghz, pl9 should be fine. Also, try setting your vtt to 1.20v, then set cpu ref to .785 and mch ref to .80 then bump vtt back up to where you need it. Take them off of auto.

sorry for my bad english

that doesnt matter anyway, the bubbles seems not to be the cause

for now, my room temp should be 27~29

i am running 1.35v in bios for 4.2ghz

and running prime 95 too, 70~71 load for 4cores

idle should be 40~42

i measure the temp of the surrounding of the rad too

it is 35~36

so what i am thinking is, do the block have the ability to carry heat away?

i know fuzion v2 is a good block, but i have been using it for 1 year anyway i opened it too, it is clean.

i cant measure the temp of the coolant, so i measure the rad

i assume the temp of the cooland is about 4x, is this normal? when my cpu is running 70~71

i am thinking should i sell this fuzionv2 and get a ek extreme or extreme lt

any suggestions?

[derek0309hk]

a little update

room temp 32~33

cpu under prime 95, 76 73 73 71(1.35v in bios, 4.2ghz)

when looking the rad at vertical, the bottom temp is 39

so i guess the coolant temp should be under 45? and the air blowing out from the rad is 39 too

do u think i should replace the fuzion v2 with supreme or supreme lt? which one is better?

or the fuzion v2 just perform normally considering my room temp and rad temp? because the temp drop down really fast when i stop prime 95(though still get 50 at idle)

really really need your help, thanks

There's probably nothing wrong with your setup. I went through the same thing with a couple of low vid chips. They tend to clock very well but all the ones I've had run really hot compared to other chips. You should also be aware that IBT will heat your CPU well beyond anything you will see during normal use. It's not uncommon to see temps in the 70's even on water. Don't waiste your money on a new waterblock, you'll likely not see more than a couple of degrees difference. Lapping your IHS may help bring temps down a bit.

but i cant raise the vcore when my a/c is off

which limit my overclocking

the vid of my cpu is 1.2125

and i feel very strange too that the temp is over 70 on water, i would like to know the coolant temp but i cant.

so that i dont know its the block limiting the heat transfer between coolant and block.

Your room temp is 32c-33c. That is pretty warm. With high ambient room temps you are trying to cool with warm water. 75c Prime at 33c ambient is not bad IMO.


BTW, good to see you Mysterfix. Has been a while.

yea, i dont know how the temp is in europe or us

but i am in asia and it is pretty hot, 30~31 is the temperature and i dont open window so the room temp reads 32-33

the difficulty for me is i usually see guys here with under 25 room temp so i dont know if it is normal for me having 75 at 33 room temp

also is the rad temp ( 39~40)normal? i am thinking if the coolant is only under 45 degree, shouldnt they be heated at least 50or higher when the cpu is 75?

really thanks for your help!

[DeltZ]

Bit of help please on a friends build. Trust me...I've tried and this is last resort...

Spec:
EP45-UD3R
E8400 E0
2x2gb Reaper Series OCZ pc8500 OR 2x2gb OCZ BLADE pc9200.

Here's the problem. I can't for the life of me get ram to work at stock speeds. For the pc8500 i was stuck at maybe 1000mhz after EXTENSIVE tweaking. I can't even get the 9200's at 1100mhz stable.
Regardless of straps, multipliers etc. I just have memory speed barriers. FSB isn't really a problem. I can easily run 533-550 fsb. After that, the memory speed becomes limiting though I'm sure it could go higher, like 600 or whatever.

using the F9 bios..might try changing down to F8/ F5?

Basically, i need someone to tell me what's wrong. Because I know i've tried everything i should have tried to even get ram to work at STOCK frequencies. The blades have slight improvement over the Reapers. But still. they've run up to 1200mhz on another system. I should be able to run 600fsb 1:1 4.2ghz on this system but this is just holding me back :/ HELP.

edit: also using CAS 4 timings at 1000mhz doesn't work at all either. It's like the system is just gimping the memory....

Having initially thought ram issue (thus trying different ram)
Maybe mobo issue?
E8400 memory controller issue?

edit: 2. For kicks...I can run 8gb at 1000mhz woot.

[OC Nub]

Try setting the frequency latch to auto and use system memory multi 250A and see howthat does. I have the LV Platinums and thats the only way i can get them up to speed. But only issue is you will be fsb limited with 250a, puts the ram at 4:5.

[Mysterfix]

Your room temp is 32c-33c. That is pretty warm. With high ambient room temps you are trying to cool with warm water. 75c Prime at 33c ambient is not bad IMO.


BTW, good to see you Mysterfix. Has been a while.

Yeah, been jumping on here and there to see how things are going. Good to see you finally got a good one. Haven't had time to push mine any further, maybe I'll give that new bios a whirl.

yea, i dont know how the temp is in europe or us

but i am in asia and it is pretty hot, 30~31 is the temperature and i dont open window so the room temp reads 32-33

the difficulty for me is i usually see guys here with under 25 room temp so i dont know if it is normal for me having 75 at 33 room temp

also is the rad temp ( 39~40)normal? i am thinking if the coolant is only under 45 degree, shouldnt they be heated at least 50or higher when the cpu is 75?

really thanks for your help!

Those temps are well within the norm for how hot your room is.

[OC Nub]

Hey, glad to see you posting again. Yeah got a good one but also a hot one. f10b seems to be good, had good luck using it with my old chip as well.

[Mysterfix]

Seems the hot one's do better with lower voltage, really weired how they run soo hot at low voltage though.

[whiteshadow]

Hi I'm new to this site and have this motherboard and got a question about overclocking my cpu and setting up the right settings for my ram as well.

I've got the following:
Gigabyte EP45-UD3P
Intel Core 2 E6600 + a huge heatsink and fan for overclocking
Gskill PI 4GB Kit (2x2048MB) PC8800 1100MHz

By default this cpu runs at 2.66 Ghz and I am wanting to overclock it, I've tried overclocking it and it works fine, but I dont think its working at its optimal performance as I think the ram is running at 800Mhz...

So I'm just wanting some help with what settings I need to change in regards to overclocking the cpu, setting up the correct ram settings and anything else I need to change like voltages or anything...

What sort of speed should I be able to overclock the E6600 to? I want it to be stable.

I'd eventually like to upgrade to a E8400/E8500 and overclock that, but don't have the money at the moment, would there be alot of difference between the 2 cpus?

Thanks for your help.

Dave.

[freeza]

so then i should be looking for bigger ram than 1066?
as for the divider say 5:6 that is what i should be trying to get my ram at now? instead of the 1:1 mark? i dont think my mem now could handle that.
no many ddr2 1200 to choose from. was looking at ddr3. wow the prices have dropped on them,

Hey, I noticed your updated specs, how did you get a nice 1GHz OC with your RAM?

What speed is it running at? and what setting 2.00D or B or what? lol Thanks in advance. I'm trying to get exactly the same setup as you with the 1GHz overclock.

Also, is that your vcore in windows or in bios?

mem strap is 2.00d mem volts up a bit to 2.14v
took mch up some forget to what. i will look in the morning and write it all down for you. as im going to put my mushkin mem in and try for 4.0ghz

[Duh]

guys any recommendation for an e8300 ? I am going to kick in an ek supreme and some other goodies in it.. I am willing to use it as my 24/7 ( in some months when I get the cpu and when I can buy the mobo).. I was looking for the version of the ud3 p45 that had support for either ddr2 or ddr3 .. I am not aiming to have crazy clocks, just some MOAR mhz for a reasonable and sturdy mobo

Finally P95 Blend Stable ! 4.15GHz / 922MHz 5-5-5-18 with THE cheapest 2x2GB 800MHz kit you can buy !
