Someday I hope to be considered one of the more educated guys here.

You almost owed me a new keyboard on that one.

Just passed 24hrs Prime Small with current settings, going to test with Large now but I BET it fails

Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

Do you guys remember that discussion about our boards not being stable above 483 FSB or something... and how the Gigabyte rep said wait 6 months... What do you make of the revs.. 1.0, 1.1 and now 1.6 ... that is a pretty big jump.. anyone have anyone on the inside that could give details on what changed?

Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

The 6 in 1.6 is to signify the inclusion of "Smart 6", it's not a huge leap in dsign.

The 490 FSB thing's a load of crap. I've never met a rep yet who actually knows everything about the products he sells. I have on the other hand met plenty of reps who make sh1t up to sound clever/interesting.

The "Wait 6 months" was also a bit of an over estimate, and maybe referred to the P45 with the 24 power phases, which should be out soon. If that's the only change, then again, it's not going to do much for a true FSB limit, as CPU power phases have nothing to do with the MCH. You may see higher clocks/FSB purely because the CPU needed more/cleaner power, but again, that's got nothing to do with the MCH directly.

I believe what reps say about as much as I believe in the Easter bunny.

Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

Ok...

Prime Large failed after about 3hrs initially but Prime Small ran for 24hrs without failure. I rebooted and raised (New approach for me) the CPU Ref one notch (VTT @ 1.2) making it up two in total and tried Large again, one core failed at 10hrs and the other at 13hrs.

Going to reboot and make a note of the settings...

Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

I am currently testing +3 steps on the CPU Ref (0.916V) to see how this performs...

Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

ahhhhh nuts.. My 4.2Ghz just failed on the large Prime95 also..

[devoh]

Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

D-and-W I see you updated your BIOS,, any issues? any improvements? any differences?

I also noticed that F10e is now out

[D-an-W]

Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

Will check F10e, any changelog?

I am currently 13hrs stable on Large, will update IF I get to 24hrs...

[D-an-W]

Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

FAILED @ 13.5hrs...

Is there anything I shouldn't do when running Prime, it has been running all day on it's own, within 2hrs of me arriving home it has failed. I have only been browsing and downloading some TV episodes with NewsBin Pro...

IMHO.. if running something causes a failure.. then you have a problem.. Unless it is just bad Karma issues.. then I would say an exercism is in order!

I play games while running prime95.. I really go for max stress.

Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

Try running Prime95 large FFTs again, and start downloading some TV episodes about 15 minutes to an hour after you've started your stress test to see if the failure is repeatable.

I've run Prime95 and OCCT simultaneously without any issues, but this appears to be counter productive.

In some threads, posters are running extreme games while they're stress testing.

Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

Cheers folks (Morning PJ!), I will give it another go tonight...

[devoh]

Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

D-and-W did you go back to F9? Did you have a problem with F10x ?

I'm having the same problem as you. I can go 24 hrs+ and then the next day it says after 12hrs on large FFT in Prime95

-devoh

[D-an-W]

Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

Not gone back (YET!) to F9, I get pretty much the same results on F10x to be honest.

I am HOPING to get the bathroom finished this weekend so I should have some more time for playing after that...
