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

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

I'm having some luck(7+ hours and going) with removing all skew, MCH Core of 1.26 and ref of .74 (500FSB, 2.00D, 6x multi for 3Ghz, ya that's an underclock)... Soon as I get something that goes 24 hours I'll post the beast.

**EDIT**

12 hrs+ and still going

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

I am going to wait for something DX11 5*** based before upgrading now. I did have 2x Sapphire 4890 Atomics on pre-order but they turned out to be Vapour(-X-)ware...

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

Is that with Sapphire Direct? Just wondered why you thought that, but could pre-order them...

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

No, a site in the UK had them on pre-order but they never arrived...

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

Ahh well Pfttt!

Did they email you any news about them yet, have you emailed them to inquire yet? how long have you had them on Pre-order?

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

Ok I found a nice 28+ hours stable 500FSB with MCH Core @ 1.26 and MCH ref at 0.74 .
24 hours stable was yesterdays benchmark!!

Now I'm going for 530FSB... then onto CPU overclocking.

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

Had them on order since June, they took them off the site so I cancelled the order...

If you beat me with FSB I'll beat the crap outta you, you little bish :D
I am onto 540 right now... Somewhat unlucky so far though.

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

I have been up to 550FSB...

[Octopuss]

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

Too bad the setups are ony applicable to anyone else. I am desperately trying to squeeze stable 540 from 1.28 MCH core. Screw CPU, 4GHz is enough for me. But the bloody chipset!

Ahh, maybe they just planned to release them and now want to wait and do 5xxx series?

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

As usual, the review sites got them but AFAIK they couldn't produce enough high quality components (They were all hand picked) to meet demand. It seems 4870x2's have also been discontinued now too...

[Lsdmeasap]

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

Ohh really, maybe because of 4890 then? Do they have 4890x2?

What does your 530+ template look like? I'm looking good so far @ 532FSB, I think with 1.30 MCH Core.. I really wanted a 530+FSB @ 1.28 MCH Core.. were you able to do it?

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

It's too early yet, but I finally managed to find something semi-stable. 10 hours into 540x.5, 1.28 MCH core. Had VCORE and VDIMM raised though. I will know more tomorrow.
I think the major change was setting CPU term to normal rather than having it scale with VTT.
