PS: Gigabyte, srsly, officially update the USB3P BIOS before more people split, kthnx.

jaaaaaaaaaa just put a step away i will always be on this thread my favourite

Hello , ive been a long time reader and member at XS but never post
I havent updated the bios on my UD3P since i got it couple months back. What Bios version is everyone finding to be the best overclocker ?

[zodden]

Its hard to believe that this thread is still so active! It's a testament to how good this board is

I am still chugging along at 525x8 for almost 2 years of 24/7 use! I look at my first post in this thread right after the OP's back in Oct of 2008 and can't believe how time flies!

I havent updated the bios on my UD3P since i got it couple months back. What Bios version is everyone finding to be the best overclocker ?

Anyway I can report good things about beta bios F11c. It's the first bios I have liked since F5a. My endless reboot issues when my external USB HD is connected is fixed, my OC is as stable as before.

wow zodden,you haven't posted for quite some time.
its because of you i was able to get my first 500fsb stable OC
you were the first one to point out the mch ref setting in the
beginning of the thread,and for that i thank you

i also like to point out,the 0.700vET6/0.750vbios MCH ref setting
has worked on all my 9-10 boards using dual core except for one
and my q9650's all loved 0.785/cpu ref and 0.800v/mch ref 100%
again thanks

Welcome! I remember that week. It was frustrating and I was benching almost 24/7 for that whole week I was off from work. I am glad I solved it though for myself and for everybody else. Somebody would have figured it out eventually

I am thinking of looking for a used 9650 for a quick bang for your buck upgrade. I was also reading on HardOCP that x8 x8 for crossfire showed no testing difference then x16 x16 in a recent article. On this board if you run 2 vid cards it runs both in x8- So I might get a used 9650, a copy of windows 7 and when the 6 series comes out from ATI, some new vid cards for gaming. That seems like a pretty painless and less expensive upgrade path for now

Just had that setup runs great , sold my 9650 and my scored dropped 6000 points in 3dmark with my e8400 . .. so that upgrade will just kick ass. makes no difference like [H] about the 8 x 8 and 16 x 16

(from another forum) -->

""Gigabyte kindly supplied me with new beta BIOS versions for X58A-UD7 and P55-UD6 for us to test...im passing this bios to you to test as a beta, no support at this time from GBT BUT it was tested by them to cure the SMART issue.
If this bios tests out OK GBT will add this fix to their whole range of boards...""

""the BIOS SMART command error is present with my Vertex 2 LE, Firmware 1.11 and GigaByte GA-EP45T-USB3P. SATA is set to AHCI mode""

Guess I'll have to check the beta-bios 2010 .de "site" way more often now : http://oldforum.gigabyte.de/forumdow...tabios2010.htm

Zodden, can you share your bios config, we have the same ram and cpu...my ud3p's a v1.6/FE (bios)

you have a 1.6 but very workable , can we see your bios template , youlll get the answers here after that real quick

It was prime95 stable @4.0 for months, but it crashed a few times when I tried to install XP Pro to triple boot with Win7/Linux Mint KDE-

The problem was XP didn't like AHCI enabled-

Afterwards, I started getting dropped internet connections, corrupt backups, and computer freezes/lockups-

So, I decided to re-flash the bios and start over-

Here's what I have so far-

Thanks-

If you search this thread (look for posts from late October 2008) you will find my bios config. Look on page 2 of this thread-midway down you will see all my settings.

I haven't changed it at all since then, except to flash to various other bios-none of which I liked till recently.

Nice can we see a super pi at 1m with that and maybe some latency test . . . good voltage dude

[radaja]

thanks andressergio and the real_7,heres super pi and everest
cachemem with slightly tighter timings,nothing special

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

radaja that is a very nice chip, whats the VID on that one?

[andressergio]

Well guys time to teach the good things to my kiddo lol

i think 6 months its about time



cheers to all
Sergio

p.d. G you recognize that mobo ? Tom you dont see the chip as he grabbed it fast cauz someone screamed Assus

[the_real_7]

thanks andressergio and the real_7,heres super pi and everest
cachemem with slightly tighter timings,nothing special

if thats a stable 24/7 very decent 50 latency

[OC Nub]

Sergio, teaching him to stay away from Asus at 6 months? Not a bad idea.

[radaja]

1.21v

wow so young and he already has i7

if thats a stable 24/7 very decent 50 latency

i only test about 2hrs prime95 blend and good eneough for me.
as to latecy i like when i can get it at 47-49,needs to be at 542+ 1300+ for that

[andressergio]

Sergio, teaching him to stay away from Asus at 6 months? Not a bad idea.

for sure teaching da basis

wow so young and he already has i7

yeahhh

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

very nice the motherboard looks great, I can't wait to see everything together

[andressergio]

very nice the motherboard looks great, I can't wait to see everything together

tell me !!! im waiting the GTX's 460

[Dark-Energy]

Wow, so good to see everyone is still here, playing with all their toys as usual . Glad to see Socket 775 is still alive and kicking. I've been on vacation for the last 2 months in Croatia, Bosnia, and Venice, so I haven't really been able to post or view this thread much. Infact, I completely forgot about it. It's kinda weird knowing these boards and CPUs, when pushed with a decent OC, and even the good old E8400, can still play the latest titles with decent performance without the need of an i7. I've had my UD3P for almost a year and the board was released almost 2 years ago, and it still does pretty damn well.

Well, yeah, just wanted to drop in and say hello, despite not a lot of you being familiar with me
