OK, I've been lurking here for quite some time. I'm trying to get my chip to 4.4 or 4.5 prime stable.
I really just need the opinions of you guys to tel me whether or not it's a lost cause.
I got an ep45-ud3r to replace my p5q dlx a few days ago. I am a bit happier with the new board over the old one. I had an ep45 on my other pc with an e8500 and have been very happy with it.
The rig in question...
I'm running the f9 bios
cooling is fuzion v2 + mcr320 + mcp355 (petra's top) + 3x yate loon med
OS is vista 32
My memory is 2x2gb ocz reaper hpc 8500
My q9650 is a 1.2500 VID
here's where I am right now... The settings below have been priming small fft for 1.5 hours or so without errors
Always runs of prime 95 small fft for stability.Code:******Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T.)****** Robust Graphics Booster.........................[ Auto ] CPU Clock Ratio.................................[ 9 ] Fine CPU Clock Ratio............................[ + 0.0 ] CPU Frequency 4.4GHz............................[ 473 x 9.0] ******Clock Chip Control****** CPU Host Clock Control..........................[ Enabled ] CPU Host Frequency (Mhz)........................[ 473 ] PCI Express Frequency (Mhz).....................[ 100 ] C.I.A 2.........................................[ Disabled ] ******Advanced Clock Control****** CPU Clock Drive.................................[ stock? ] PCI Express Clock Drive.........................[ stock? ] CPU Clock Skew..................................[ stock? ] MCH Clock Skew..................................[ stock? ] ******DRAM Performance Control****** Performance Enhance.............................[ Standard ] (G) MCH Frequency Latch.........................[ can't remember ] System Memory Multipler.........................[ can't remember ] Memory Frequency 1066...........................[ 946 ] DRAM Timing Selectable..........................[ Manual ] CAS Latency Time................................[ 5 ] tRCD............................................[ 5 ] tRP.............................................[ 5 ] tRAS............................................[ 15 ] ******Advanced Timing Control****** tRRD[3].........................................[ auto ] tWTR[3].........................................[ auto ] tWR[6]..........................................[ auto ] tRFC[54]........................................[ auto ] tRTP[3].........................................[ auto ] Command Rate (cmd)[0]...........................[ 2T ] ******Channel A Timing Settings****** Static tRead Value [ 8 ] ................[ auto ] tRD Phase0 Adjustment [ 0 ] ................[ Auto ] tRD Phase1 Adjustment [ 0 ] ................[ Auto ] tRD Phase2 Adjustment [ 0 ] ................[ Auto ] tRD Phase3 Adjustment [ 0 ] ................[ Auto ] tRD 2rd (Differnt Rank) [ 6 ] ................[ Auto ] tWR 2wr (Differnt Rank) [ 6 ] ................[ Auto ] tWR 2rd (Differnt Rank) [ 5 ] ................[ Auto ] tRD 2wr (Same/Difft Rank) [ 8 ] ................[ Auto ] Dimm 1 Clock Skew Control.......................[ Auto ] Dimm 2 Clock Skew Control.......................[ Auto ] DDR Write Training..............................[ Auto ] ******Channel A Driving Settings****** I don't think my bios has this menu?

Prior to these settings I have successfully gotten stability at the following:
UD3R
4200 (467x9) @ 1.328v core (cpuz)
P5Q
4000 (445x9) @ 1.3000v core (cpuz)
4100 (456x9) @ 1.3125v core (cpuz)
4200 (467x9) @ 1.3560v core (cpuz)
4250 (473X9) @ 1.36875v core (cpuz)
besides that, where are you guys getting the pl8 or pl9 option in your bios? I haven't seen that anywhere.
preemptive thanks...
and nice clocks btw guys. I hope I can get close.
I'll be familiar here, at least until I get stable near my goal.
