**OFFICIAL Gigabyte UD3 P45 Yorkfield (45nm Quads) OC and Discussion Thread**

[pezcore]

Hey guys, just found this thread and I was wondering a few things...

I have a Q6700 (searched for that term in this thread but got no results ) and am having trouble getting it stable. I had a UD3R and ran 3.33GHz daily (thought that was pretty good until reading this thread :p) and got to 3.5GHz long enough for a 3DMark Vantage run with all voltage settings set to AUTO. Then I decided to go ATi + PhysX and sold the UD3R for a UD3P. Now, I am having trouble with stability on anything over 3.0GHz. I learned that I must've been lucky using all AUTO settings, so I changed the voltages myself to the values that were already suggested and upped the CPU VCore but I get Overvoltage/Overclock errors often.

Could my board be bad? I was so impressed by how stable the UD3R was out of the box, that I'm considering getting one again and ditching the dual GFX card idea. All my components are in my sig and if I can answer anything just ask.

Also, can I just plug in some of the settings that some of you are using, or do I need a successful set of Q6700 numbers?

Is it bad that I'm using 4 sticks of RAM?

My temps (right now) for my 4 cores are 45 44 38 42, and I've got Firefox and Windows Media Center (HDTV) open, and the room is somewhat warm (thanks to the computer and HDTV projector). GFX cards are at 58* C each.

HALP!

I say you get as high as possible by just setting your CPU voltage and MCH voltage and memory voltage. Then start trying to find the sweet spots for your other settings one at a time.

Then start moving up overclock wise once you see what settings your mother board likes. This should give you an idea roughly of where your motherboard likes its settings. You will have to tweak everything again but, you will be better off knowing roughly where to set everything.
