Also i need to compare xfire 3D performance against my x38.

Good to actually have this info off someone than a review.

A true comparison between P45 and X38 in Xfire

Just ordered a UD3P so will have fun tomorrow.

Its a sexy looking board

It just feels fast too, windows loads much quicker for some reason.

Same here, I've also got the same batch Q9650 as you will be having a play over the weekend.

you've got me itching to finally try a different mobo maker!

Keep us updated if you can get some stable high clocks.

Devious · 23 Oct 2008 at 12:13

I dont think i can get this stable at 500FSB, small fft could be possible but blend fails immediatly. I wondering whether its my ram, i wish i had kept my team xtreme to test with.

Doubt 9200 rated ram would be holding you back at 500fsb

Any update on this Nelly? I have the opportunity to purchase one of the same batch so wondering how it clocks and what the VID is?
Many thanks

Ive just bagged a mega cheap new QX9650 from someone who didnt know what it was

so im selling this Q9650 on.

Scoobie Dave · 30 Oct 2008 at 13:32

Anymore news guys?

Im loving my new Gigabyte motherboard, much better than my old Anus board. Got mine clocked to 4Ghz well easy. Will be pushing for more when I get the chance.

Hey Devious!

Nice work fella!

. . . I wondered did you make any adjustments to the northbridge cooling at all?

[edit] lol I just looked up the mobo you were using, seems to be a decent NB cooler there!

Devious · 30 Oct 2008 at 18:04

I just returned my UD3P today, it just wasn't seem very stable to me even with modest overclocks. lots of freezing/BSOD. Maybe i got a bad one.

Back on my x38, rock solid again

I have mine at 4Ghz with 1.232v.
Prime shot ...........

Have been doing quite a bit of tinkering with this for the past week after sitting at 4.1 since I got it. The one thing that seems to be holding me back just now is the lack of any LLC coupled with the horrendous vdroop on this board.

Managed to get into Windows at 4.7 although just couldn't seem to get it stable and even then it was outwith my comfort range as far as the voltage was concerned. Going to settle for this the moment. Hopefully I can figure out what the deal is with the vdroop mod for this board (in sig.) and push it back up again.
