Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R Living Review

<< < (2/4) > >>

supershanks:
Be interested to see that. I'd done a few benches on mine and had noted the temps seemed low. I remembered then the review i'd done on the xigmatek cooler. and realised the only component that was different in the test was the UD3R> I have a temperature probe/gun so the ambient temps are spot on.

Hi supershanks,
yes - which benchmarking tool(s) did you use - I could run the same...
Regards,
Neil

Hi Neil,
just ran Prime Blend test to check stability. ran at 4gb with 1.40v this was the test we ran to check the xigmatec cooler used
Prime95
To monitor temps:-
CoreTemp
RealTemp
I made sure that tjmax was set to 95C on both apps as this is the official value from Intel.

neilgl:
OK, downloaded all OK and am running them on my ASRock775 (old) system, just off to Gigabyte now to RMA the failed P35 board.

neilgl:
OK results so far:
GA-EP45-UD3LR, Vista 32 bit, Core2 Duo E6550, 40 minutes of running Prime95
Core 1 and 2 both at 55 degC

By contrast , the ASROCK E6300
Core 1 and 2 both at 64 degC after just 15 min.

Have not done the GA-EP35-DS3R (E6550) test yet as my son is on World of Warcraft....
