XP Supports AHCI just fine. You have to download the Intel Matrix floppy driver from Intel's site and load it during setup when the message "Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver" appears. I've had AHCI working fine in XP, Vista and Windows 7, and both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of each.

As I recall, it'll look for an 'internal' floppy drive, it won't see a usb floppy drive-

Yes it wont you must use a normal internal floppy drive

Cheers for the hint Hoss, I'll remember to look back here when I get around to a reinstall.

Been tweaking the Extreme today, managed to do the Vmod with 100% success. Here's some pics to illustrate

Before the vdroopmod:


After the mod, full load:


And after the mod idle:


And here's a few snaps of the rig and vmod. I would have put on the huge copper heatsink (hybrid silentpipe) for the extra cooling capacity, but it didn't come with the screws to fit it, plus my NB block comes over a little too far - I'll look into it though - can't do any harm!





Still not quite CPU stable at 4.5 but it has definitely improved - will be back with more snapshots when/if I get there I-F

If your using win7 or vista now you dont have to wait for a reinstall, just change the registry setting, reboot and set ahci mode. Also that mod looks like it worked pretty well.

congrats on the new board In-Fluence !!!

No need to thank me mate, just enjoy your new system and show us some numbers!

That case is amazing and all your WC stuff is top notch so now put Val to sleep and finish it already!

[In-Fluence]

Yeah, looking forward to seeing that built up Sergio, and gotta admit that I'm tempted by the usb3. After setting up my work's X58A board, I really liked the look of their new colour scheme. Looks very nice with silver/chrome-look ram - I got 3gig of cheap OCZ's 1333's in there with a 920 D0 as I had to consider my budget (which included an un-planned £15k projector this year). No after-market cooling, just the puny little stock sink, but managed 3.8GHz without too much trouble, might take it home and put it under water during the summer to see what it can do, alas I don't have time at work to tweak! I guess now that I have an MIIF, a UD3P and an Extreme, I guess I could just sell them all up and go for one. I'll see how you get on Andressergio - good luck

[NoGuru]

Pics look great Serg, and In-Fluence.

And if you're on XP then I have an easy way to take care of AHCI without having to re-install either.

share it!

1.) Go to Intel's download center and download the latest version of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager for your OS:

**Keep this file as you'll need it again in step 5.

2.) Run the installer with the -a switch to extract the files. This will NOT install the software, just extract the files. Follow the prompts as if you were installing the software:

filename -a

The above should extract the files to \Program Files\Intel\Intel Matrix Storage Manager. There are two folders, \Drivers and \Drivers64 for 32-bit and 64-bit OS's, respectively.

3.) Copy the file IaStor.sys from the Drivers folder to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\

4.) Copy and paste into Notepad the following registry info and save to your desktop as ahci.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\CriticalDeviceDatabase\pci#ven_8086&dev_3A22&cc_0106]
"Service"="iaStor"
"ClassGUID"="{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStor]
"Type"=dword:00000001
"Start"=dword:00000000
"Group"="SCSI miniport"
"ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
"ImagePath"="system32\\drivers\\iaStor.sys"
"tag"=dword:00000019
"DisplayName"="Intel AHCI Controller"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStor\Parameters]
"queuePriorityEnable"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStor\Enum]
"0"="PCI\\VEN_8086&DEV_3A22&SUBSYS_B0051458&REV_02\\3&13c0b0c5&0&FA"
"Count"=dword:00000001
"NextInstance"=dword:00000001

5.) Double check you've copied the IaStor.sys file as part of step 3. Now do the following:
-Run the ahci.reg file to add the entries into the registry
-Reboot the computer and enter the BIOS - DO NOT allow it to start Windows yet.
-Change the setting for the on board Intel controller to AHCI, save and exit BIOS
-Boot into Windows

When Windows loads it will detect a new hard disk -- cancel the wizard for installing the new hardware and run the Intel driver installer you downloaded in step 1. Reboot the system again and you're good to go. Now, under Device Manager -> "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" you should see "Intel(R) ICHx SATA AHCI Controller" listed.

6.) In Device Manager, double klick your hard-drive(s) under "Disk drivers", go to "Policies" tab and mark "Enable write caching for this disk" if not already enabled.

[In-Fluence]

The reg tweak for W7 worked fine for me, thanks again Hoss. It also resolved problems with booting from CD

I quite like the extreme now it's had the mod. After some testing I've tuned the vr to give a tiny vdroop under load and it seems to behave reliably, and i'm testing stability at 495x9/1237 PL8 - still going after an hour of blend, lets hope it holds out. I might try and go for 4.5GHz stability again, but to be honest those extra <45MHz are still proving very stubborn to get at.

Hello

Excuse my english

I am looking for the Best Bios Version For EP45-UD3R rev.1.0 & Q9550

I Have a EP45-UD3R rev.1.0 & Q9550 and the F3 bios. (who sold me the matherboard told me that he upgrade to F6 bios but now i have seen that he did not.)

Now i have a stable OC to 3.57 MHZ with 1.22 vcore in BIos and 1.184 in Windows.

Give me benefits upgrade to another bios? What is your opinion?

I don´t like lost my bios setting but if new bios give me less vdroop and in general better performace to reach a better overclocking i´ll do it.

But if i have to upgrade bios what is the best bios for EP45-UD3R rev.1.0 with a Q9550?

I read somewhere F6?

Thanks for your help

Your English is OK mate im spanish lol

You have the best rev of board UD3P so you are fine, bios F10 is nice, also F8, best performance bios in my opinion is F10b but will tight your timmings probably you may have to adjust some volts there.

Why not going for 4Ghz what cooling are u using ?

Hello

Thanks

My matherbooard is UD3R not UD3P.

This OC is a first way looking 3.7-3.8 Ghz.

I´m looking for a stable bios and not overcomplicated because i´m not a great expert.

My cooler is NOCTUA NH-U12P and i think use a second fan like SE version and memory 2x2GB OCZ FlexII 1150.

Thanks

Hello everyone, new to the forum, trying to get 100% overclock (currently 90%) with my E4300 on ep45-ud3p, not sure of voltages, i have seen some xtreme voltages mentioned and am not totaly certain they are safe, currently using 1.4v for cpu 1.3v for mch and 1.9v on memory, temps are fine about 30c idle and 50c load i am using 667 memory runs fine at 800 anything more it does not like it so i figure 400X9 is 3.6ghz or 100% OC it just wont do it, do you think it is my memory,voltages,temps, etc. etc. i am at a lost any help would be appreciated.

Your within safe limits. Here is a thread I made to help people understand what the terms of the board are. Hope it helps.
