Edit: so what voltage do these quads die at lol i dont wanna find out heh. i have it up at 1.4125v in bios but i am wondering if i can go much higher without destroying my chip lol. and i want to get 5.0ghz if i can but i am only on water heh.

O>O

YOU CANT be getting 4500ghz on that quad at 1.41 !!!!!

Your talking about a core2duo right ?! For me to get to 3.7 I'm running 1.47 vcore!

I so jealous XD!

Well, the max safe voltage according to intel is 1.3625 for the 45nm chips, but the quads seem to be a fair bit more resilient than the dualies.

One particular member over at XS has shown ss of his q9650s anywhere between 1.48 and 1.6, but I think those are his temps for benching not 24/7. I'd be willing to bet you could run 24/7 at 1.4ish with very little fear of damaging your chip, but of course, that's just me speculating.

With LLC disabled 1.4 and lower in windows is considered safe on the 45nm quads. I run a QX9650 at that vcore without issue. Beyond that gets into dangerous territory

do you mean a temp limit on my processor or on the motherboard. if its the mobo which mobo would u recommend for the intel qx6700 with ddr2 ram and a 9800gx2

Pretty sure he means cpu temp-limit.

**Robilar** · 11-23-08

Yes. The Gigabyte board runs extremely cool regardless of what you do to it.

Some assorted build shots (thats a P5E Deluxe beside it).

This board puts the "low" in low profile MB cooling.

Hey guys,

I just recently built my first build with the UD3P and have been trying to get my E5200 to 3.0ghz with the DRAM frequency of 800mhz. This is my first time with a motherboard that had any real overclocking capabilities and I am lost to what to do.

I would also like to get my FSB : DRAM to 1:1 but I am dumbfounded on what to do in the BIOS. I believe it has something to do with the system memory multiplier, but i have no idea what all those letters mean (ie 2.66C, 2.00D, 2.50A)

If anyone can assist me along the way it would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
Jinx

I've been thinking about getting this board and a e7300 and oc'ing the hell out of it, or am I better off getting a e8400 (E0 stepping)?

Its a toss up between this and a Biostar Tpower I45. I'm only hesitant to buy the Biostar just because of unknown reliability and the fact that they've always built low budget boards. But it seems like it an amazing overclocker from what I've read.

I was running a e7200 on my DFI MB and it ran great, but I just got a e8500 E0 last friday and man its a huge jump from the e7200. I just ordered this MB for it and can't wait to see what it can do...
