which core is a 1.2? cpu vcore or mch core?

ericeod

Please read my previous post. I edited it to answer the question. basically it isnt relevant to your setup.

same error when i drop the multiplyer to 6... i set the fsb back to 333 and this time it worked.
booting to get to cpuz.. vcore is at 1.3 atm..

So it has nothing to do with your CPU, it is your FSB and memory causing the issues. So do this, leave the CPU multi at x6 for now and focus on getting the ram stable. have you been able to verify the actual speed it is running in CPU-Z under the memory tab?

try this also, set the ram Multi to 2.00B and see if you can run 400 FSB. What timings are you running on the ram? 5-5-5-15?

ram settings are 5-5-5-18

fyi.. vid still shows as 1.275 in core temp

trfc 54
cmd 2




GOT it to be stable at 400fsb 8.5 multi
2.0b (800) 5-5-5-18

now to get it to 1066..

vid still shows up as 1.275 in core temp

ericeod

Those are both normal. You might try a tRFC of 60. I had an issue with an ASUS board running tRFC below 56 when OCing on an x48 board. Have you tried 400 FSB with 2.00B multi yet? What about the other 2.66 strap?

im running 3.4 (400x8.5)
Ram is at 2.00b
2.40b wont run or the other 2.66 (c or d)
Ram is currently at 800mhz
Same ram settings as before (5-5-5-18... etc)
Mch 1.3
Vcore 1.2

Cant seem to get stable for 1066

Sounds like there is something up with the ram... Have you updated to the latest bios? I did a build for a friend using the UD3P, Q9650 and 2x2Gb G.Skill DDR2 1100 Pi. I could not get the ram to run with any FSB speed over 400 FSB. But after flashing to the latest bios, it fixed my problem.

To flash the Ggiabyte bios, get a USB drive, make sure it is formatted to Fat, then copy the latest bios to it:
www.giga-byte.com

Then insert the USB, go into the bios, then press F8 (or F9... I cant remember) to run the bios update utility. From there, follow the instructions. But always flash the bios with default bios settings. Dont leave anything overclocked!

Here are my Bios settings using a Gigabyte EP45-UD3L and a Q9550 C1 clocked to 3.6Ghz. 24/7/365 stable.

Robust Graphics Booster [Auto] (Try turbo once stable)
CPU Clock Ratio [8x]
Fine CPU Clock Ratio [0.5]
CPU Host Frequency [425]
PCI Express Frequency [100]
C.I.A.2. [Disabled]

CPU PLL [1.550V]
CPU Reference [0.810V]
MCH Core [1.320V]
MCH Reference [0.825V]
ICH I/O [1.570V]

<Advanced Bios Features>
CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E) [Disabled]

CPU Thermal Monitor (TM2) [Enabled]

Please use this only as a reference for motherboard voltages (my UD3L is essentially the same board as your UD3P less crossfire and raid support). Your memory may require looser timings, and your CPU less voltage if it is a E0.

Keep an eye out and watch your CPU temperatures closely when benchmarking ensuring that none of the 4 cores exceed 70 degees celcius. I'm a bit worried your Masscool cooler might struggle when greater amounts of VCORE are applied. Good luck with your overclocking, feel free to PM me if need be.

when you say default settings.. do you mean literally all default settings? or just nothing overclocked....

is there a default settings option :?
or do i have to reset it myself

edit*
when i said it won't run if I change the settings to 2.4b.. what happens is the the computer turns on, then off, then boots and proceeds like normal.. but the settings aren't applied.. it might be a power setting problem..

whenever I go to bios after that.. i get that error message about overclocking yada yada..
what power setting could be wrong?

but 2.66c produces bsod

fyi my q9550 is an e0
