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

Keep pushing Guys!!

Any of you going P55 next month?

I'm going to kep an eye on the dreaded eBay in the months after release. If people jump ship early I might finish their leftovers, otherwise for a gaming machine I don't think P55/i5's worth it just yet.

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

We thing a like. I am usually reluctant to get early revision products. I like for things to mature a bit before jumping in. Hopefully the bugs and kinks are resolved and manufacturing processes improve.

About the notice in drop in voltages with the new 10e bios. Are these reflected in both bios and cpuz (or other software voltages or dmm)? Just wondering if the lowered voltages in the bios are in fact higher voltages as per cpuz or dmm.

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

The lower voltage for me so far is the MCH Core...I've been able to lower it by 0.04 volts(from 1.32 to 1.28).. but there is no place to measure if it is real or not. I am first finding my stable FSB(right now I am underclocking the CPU).. then will overclock the CPU.

As long as you have a DMM you can measure the voltages. the UD3P thread on xtremesystems.org has pictures with voltage measuring points.

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

ARGH.... 17 hours prime95 blend failed.. so now I am testing 1.30 for MCH...
maybe F10e being better was just my wishful thinking...

Voltage measurement points from HardwareCanucks.com [page 15].

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

Double ARGH... @ 1.30 MCH Core I lasted 7 hours on prime95... hmmm might have to dive deeper into the memory settings.

This is weird, perhaps you need to lick some toads... I am stable at 533FSB with 1.26 :)
How hot is yours (NB heatsink) ?

Awesome! What kinds of testing did you do and how long did you test each for? I am going back to 1.28 since that went 17 hours and trying some other stuff.

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

I am happy with 24 hours of Small FFTs and 24 hours of custom Blend-like test (2048-4096 size and as much memory as possible used).
I hit a wall and can't get higher at any cost though.

You should go one step better than D-an-W and run:
8.5x501 with 2.40B memory multiplier for 1200MHz memory speeds with looser timings.
Ain't one-upsmanship great?

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

That aimed at me? :)

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

Hi folks, been busy with real like stuff but have had Prime running. Trying to get 505x8.5 stable now...
