The Q9650 overclocks silly easy with the UD3P. I was able to go to 4ghz by changing only vcore at 9x445. It did orthos and memtest without a hitch.

Next step is to go higher (time permitting).

i guess whats stopping me from booting at higher FSB's is my ram, being a ddr800 anything over 400 fsb starts OC'ing it a lot and no combination of ram latching and multi gets it to 800. That could be my issue. Although like i've discussed before i cant seem to be able to run my q6600 with any other multiplier except 9, if i do then the OS only recognizes 2 cores, HW monitor, prime.. everything sees two cores.

I got 4.2Ghz out my E8500 E0 about 5 mins after I put her in

I left auto but set the FSB to 500 and Multi to 8.5 and Ram Latch to 2.00D and stable as clockwork.

Honestly this board is supreme!

are there any us retailers going to sell water blocks for this board?

bl1tzk1213g

a stupid question, Do I need to install the drivers that came with the board like "6 phase energy saver, Update inf., and something that has to do with google search?" I only installed the sata, realtek, and LAN drivers. thanks!

InTeL

no u dont really need to unless u wanted. If u installed all the drivers u should be fine

cpu idle temp should be 2 degress higher than the room temp? is this a good indication the heatsink is good?

Just a tip here. The "Gigabyte" cover on the NB really restricts airflow on the NB sink, considering how the fins are aligned under it.

This cover is just taped on, I took a small screwdriver and pried mine off. With the cover off, the NB gets much more air into the sink and is alot cooler.

Might help some of you guys with not so great case airflow

I could do with your help here guys. I've just installed GRID and was excited initially reaching 4.2GHz on my UD3P. However after trying various GRID tracks (+ online gaming) I'm noticing that every so often I'm getting a split second freeze in the game, this is also happening at lower OC's (3.8GHz etc.) I've tried various settings but I'm sure I can see this glitch happening in Windows also when for example. Clicking between my 3 HDD's files (six partitions.) I hear the drives click and the system stumbles for a split second. It's actually anoying me now.. To the stage were I'm considering sticking my Maximus Formula mobo back in as that booted quicker than the UD3P without any issues at all when gaming even though it would OC a tad less.

Any ideas?

Great advice repo man I did that too as the Gigabyte logo shield does a great job of hindering airflow around the NB.
