[FT][US] X38-T2R & 4gb DDR2 800 for Gigabyte UD3P

[mysterfix]

I have a DFI X38-T2R and 4gb (4x1gb) of Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800 that I would like to trade straight up for a Gigabyte UD3P. The Ballistix are brand new never opened, I just got them on Thursday.

The reason for the trade is simple, I need to get a Quad friendly board. The T2R is perfect for dual cores and 4 sticks of ram but struggles with a quad and high fsb.

So here's your chance to get an awsome board that will clock sky high with a Dual Core and you get 4 sticks of ram for free! I had my E8400 running 4.3ghz with ram doing 1148mhz @ 2.1v rock solid stable!

X38 is a good quad clocking board.

First post updated with pics, ram is all matched sticks.

Not good enough for my needs, 456fsb is the absolute limit for me with my Q9650 anything higher is a no go. With a Dual Core I could hit 500fsb without much effort, I ran it at 478x9 24/7 with my E8400.

Alright well was just giving some helpful insight. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks bro, didn't mean to sound like a jerk to you. It is a great board but it's just not able to take my Quad to it's maximum potential.

No its not. I had that same board and I coudlnt get passed 3.5Ghz with my Xeon. Got my Asus P45 and Im 3.8Ghz rock solid stable. x38/48 is a dual core board.

I would like to test my quad on a DFI P45 and see if I cant get any difference out of my quad. Doubt it though. I do love DFI though.

Good luck with the sale.

I too have great love for DFI boards but I've heard nothing but good things about the UD3P when paired with a quad. Besides that you can't find any LT or UT P45 boards at a decent price.

A P45 won't do much (if any) better. X48 MIGHT though.

I disagree. I was able to get higher.

I disagree also, you should visit some of the more recent quad core threads. You will see a lot of people running p45 boards with great overclocks on there quads.

I disagree because I own 2 P45 boards, I'm the creator of the P5Q Series mBIOSes and the TPower I45 mBIOS, thus I've had A LOT of P45 related feedback. Despite my tweaks where people DO get better FSB results, rarely can anyone get beyond 460-480FSB.

ED - heres a Link to my thread on XS for the P5Q Series mBIOSes. Long read, 60+ pages.

Thanks for the insight Ketxxx but do you have any experience with the UD3P? The reason I ask is because it seems to be a bit better than the rest of the P45 boards I've seen out there. I have done a bit of research and I think the UD3P will give me the best potential to max out my quad.

Also thank you for all your hard work in the overclocking comminuty.
