    Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P....this a step up from Abit ip35-e ?

    Weird problem you got bro. Check your case and see if the usb/pwr/rst/let were somehow pulled accidentally to the front of the case. The USB I got hook up via mb works. As I always used it to update my bios. Check the mb manual also. You might have just wired it improperly. You can't have that...

    BIOS won't overclock my CPU but Easytune 6 will???

    AV, try flashing to a new bios then follow Idontcare procedure on clearing cmos etc...make sure C.I.A.2 is disabled.

    Trying to decide on an LGA775 Mobo

    The mb with the latest bios are much better in terms of ram oc'ing. My current ram which is a buffalo firestix pc6400 (elpida ic) did 510mhz fully stable with T-Power I45 and with this mb it did 532Mhz. http://img21.imageshack.us/img...88/giga200strap532.jpg Will replace the ram with 2x2gb...

    Anyone with a Gigabyte P45 UD3R or P

    You've already tried 2 sets of ram and the mb didn't co-operate, I don't see a reason why you should keep the mb imo. If you're still under the 30 day return period. Just exchange it. The mb is great when it works and it's no way junk. You just happen to have defective unit. It happens to all...

    New Quad @ 4.4Ghz....WoW

    Also try bumping southbridge voltage and sata voltage. In gigabyte these are ICH core voltage and ICH I/O voltage. Just bump them up from default so to speak and see if improves stability while gaming. I'm leaning towards heat from your GTX 280. If you have some spare fans, try placing one on...

    New Quad @ 4.4Ghz....WoW

    When you run prime95 blend, where exactly does it lock up? If you're running 450fsb and below with 8gb of ram. Try to not use cpu/mch skew and just test/oc normally. Edit: Looking at your SS N7, you just probably need a bump on PLL voltage. UT3/L4D cpu intensive games not as intense as...

    Tweakin, How far can you push your gskill on Cas4 and Cas5. I see that your ram is rated at 1066/533Mhz. Have you tried using 333/5:6 strap 450fsb. 8.5x450=3.82Ghz 333/5:6 strap 540Mhz Cas5-5-5-15 PL8 (Maybe PL7 if you bump the NB volt) or 9x450=4.05Ghz 333/5:6 strap 540Mhz Cas5-5-5-15 PL8...

    GA-EP45-UD3P version 1.1 vs. 1.0

    You guys planning on sinking those bare mosfets to the nb and ram area? I'll probably grab some of those enzotech mosfet coolers to further lower the pcb temps down a bit and probably improving stability as well. http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/memandvidcar.html

    New Quad @ 4.4Ghz....WoW

    Thanks for testing m8, really appreciate the effort (The Q66's trully drains some power at 3.6Ghz as it load 170w+ 115amp-120amp). Looks like you have more room to grow. Improve cooling perhaps and push some more...... Goodluck,

    Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P....this a step up from Abit ip35-e ?

    What cpu are you running and the rated speed of your ram. I'm playing with a strap/ram divider I haven't used before and i'm quite surprised with the results on this mobo. This is under 200mhz/2.66c strap iirc. The lowest performance level/static t read control you can select using Cas5 ram is...

    Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P....this a step up from Abit ip35-e ?

    It's probably a good idea to check the mb out of the case. Just test it ontop of the mb box (no foam/anti static bag). That is with LLC (load line calibration=reduce vroop). IMHO, the mb has misaligned voltage for the cpu. Gigabyte sets their upper threshold for vcore max 2.3v but I doubt it...

    New Quad @ 4.4Ghz....WoW

    Stay below 20c-25c your tjmax (100c). That's 70c-75 max. BTW, nice oc :thumbs up: . What is the power consumption that everest tells you when you run your Q9@3.8ghz+. I would like to see if these yorkies at such frequency are able to push 150W or so underload. It's under sensor in everest.

    With the HDD Led, you might try re-seating the connection as I had trouble the first time with my UD3P. Take a glance at the manual. What psu are you using? If you have a dmm (digital multimeter) try measuring your 5v rail. Have you noticed this mb, that when you power down the machine. It...

    Major lag when accesing the DVD drive

    GR, Do me a favor and launch everest and go to the sensor tab. Run P95 for a min or 2 with small fft and tell me what the power draw of your Q9 at 4.25Ghz. I want to push my Q6600@3.7 but it starts to get a bit toasty. IIRC 170w-180w load using everest. Thanks,

    Looking for P45

    Listen the OP wanted to swap his mb for UD3P using a Q6600 (Quad). Then you come out of nowhere trying to extend your e-peen on your wolfie@500fsb lol.....Lets drop this non-sense as it's not worth arguing :) .

    Looking for P45

    Wolfie@500fsb (let me guess) 400 strap 1:1@PL10-11 Cas5-5-5-15 = Too easy :P Any mid range mb like I45/UD3/P5Q-E can do this such thing and pocket the change of course. Try 550FSB at least and I'll give you my full respect.

    Major lag when accesing the DVD drive

    ICH Core Voltage (1.1v default) = Southbridge MCH Core Voltage (1.1v default) = Northbridge Ghost, you need to drop your oc by about 400-600mhz so you don't risk slowing down you sata dvd drive :) j/k m8

    UD3P hands down :P ...The P5Q-E is a great mb, but gigabyte has more consistent results. http://img13.imageshack.us/img...ud3pprime953640qh1.jpg With UD3P, you just toggle CPU/MCH reference from 63%-67% and you'd be flying, don't forget and HDT cooler also or a TRUE+200-800grit sandpaper :) ...

    Bump your ICH Core voltage, there are 2 of these settings through the bios that defaults to 1.5v/1.1v. Adjust them a tiny bit and try to reproduce the problem.

    Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P....this a step up from Abit ip35-e ?

    Just the NB iirc. Forgot to do a finger test on the sb lol The heat on the NB is nothing compared to my previous mb which is an i45 revision a2. That mb, you can cook eggs and bacon while priming :)

    Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P....this a step up from Abit ip35-e ?

    With this mb, you can max you wolfie if you have a good cooler. Estimate 4Ghz-4.4Ghz, depends how well your chip scale with voltage. It'll be a peice of cake. If you manage to encounter the fruit loops issue (boot loops) revert to the first bios release. I played with all the new bios release on...

    QUICK HELP BUYING TOMORROW - Best board for new overclocked Intel system - Intel E5200

    Return that Asrock and grab the UD3R. Take those reviews at the egg with a grain of salt. You had a chance to own one of the finest P45 mb to date, yet you chose an open box asrock mb. Besides you're going to upgrade to a quad later on in time, and you won't regret spending the extra cash with...

I finished setting my UD3P yesterday and let me tell you it's way better than the previous mb I had which is a T-Power I45.

    Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P....this a step up from Abit ip35-e ?

    It's definitely a step up if your going to run a quad on this mb as the voltage are much more stable under load. You don't fear burning a fet or two heck even losing an entire phase when you oc as it is capable of doing so. Gigabyte really did a good job with this mb for it's price as they paid...
