I´m spot on 500 for now but I think 500+ shouldn´t be any problem, well it depends on how high you want to go.


My board is very picky about ram speed, with my 2x1 Kingston HyperX PC9600 I have the following issues.

800@FSB 333, okey
1066@FSB 333, no way
800@FSB 400, okey
1066@FSB 400, no way
1080@FSB 450, no way
1200MHz@FSB 450, okey
1200MHz@FSB 500, no way

run 1:1 is no problem, so for now I stay with it.

It´s also very sensitive with MCH ref, I´m stable with 0.840v, if I go one step up to 0.880v LinX error within 3min and if I go one step down to 0.800v LinX error within 3min


Here´s a screenie with Q9650 / 500 / 4,0 / 2x1 HyperX PC9600@1000 / 555 15 / tRD10.

Stable with 50 loop LinX (max problem size and max memory use), Prime95 blend 2hrs and 30 loop (~2hrs) Crysis Assault Harbor@high.



Now it´s time to leave XP (32bit) and go to Windows 7 (64bit) for some 2x2 and 4x2 ram test.

Well, I always heard my kit is decent for what it is.

Alright, Sweet, I'll probably upgrade to it tonight!

once my tax return gets here... UD3R + Q9650 here i come!! 4ghz+ is my goal.. should be quite attainable, no?

what bios does this board ship with, F3? i really dont like flashing bios, even though its reeeeally easy with gigabyte boards and their qflash utility..

well after looking on the UD3R's gigabyte page it seems that F4 and F5 dont really seem to add much. so i guess that answers my question, i probably wont need to do any flashing

easily. I was able to hit 4 ghz within about 3 minutes of tweaking.

the combo is an i7920 killer...


The UD3R comes with F3 which is apparently quite stable.

awesome so you went right from 333x9 to 445x9 and it booted right up? thats sweet. 1.18VID thats a nice chip you have there. i hope i get lucky as well
i hope my mushkin's overclock well since i want to push the 9x multi as far as i can.. i want to use a 2.4 mem multi so i can get to around 460-500fsb
the ram you are running is rated 1066 right?

the only things I had to change in voltages were vcore and ram voltage.

Everything else stayed the same.
