Re: Gigabyte ga -ep45 ds 4p

Welcome aboard. I do see some issues with your settings. Here is what I would suggest for a starting point for you for 4Ghz. Have you booted it before? I ask this only because I was not sure if your Vcore that you have listed was enough or not for your CPU.

46 Idle is not good at all, even if it is a stock cooler. I would suggest you re-seat it and use less paste. Or re-seat it and be SURE it is tightened down. Even the stock cooler should be colder then that at idle

If your cooler is stock, or not good enough and your temps rise, then you will have to buy a new one before you can run 4GHz. You cannot run it with a low Vcore if your CPU will not do it, and it sounds already like you should be looking for a new cooler. (I use 1.312V for 4Ghz << Actual, not set in BIOS (BIOS set 1.320), some have to use 1.35+ <<< Actual, not set in BIOS).

Like I say below, you will have to raise it for a while until you can see what will boot at 4GHz for your chip. Then slowly lower until it will not boot, then raise back up a little more

Hi, <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Thank you very much for your replay:) <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Referring to your questions: <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
1. Have you booted it before?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>
2. 46 Idle is not good at all, even if it is a stock cooler. I would suggest you re-seat it and use less paste. Or re-seat it and be SURE it is tightened down. Even the stock cooler should be colder then that at idle<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I have already ordered new cooler - Thermaright 120 Extreme. I should have it tomorrow.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I have one additional question if I may. You have provided me with the Bios setting (THANK YOU!) but what amount shall I set if you left me a choice (e.g. 3-6 56-63 ) from which amount I should start adjusting? <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Thanks :) <o:p></o:p>

Re: Gigabyte ga -ep45 ds 4p

you wrote Auto, I assume that is a mistake

It is :)

Re: Gigabyte ga -ep45 ds 4p

I thought maybe that was a error. Where I posted ranges (3-6 and so on) you would set to the highest setting first, then later lower one at a time with memtest86+ testing between each move

Can you test orthos, ONLY Small fft's? Just want to see if you are giving your CPU enough volts. If small or large fft's fails then the CPU is not stable. What voltage are you trying, and did you think it was the CPU that is not stable or ram? Usually if orthos fails that fast on blend (Default setting) it is the CPU as the ram tests do not start for a few minutes into the testing

Re: Gigabyte ga -ep45 ds 4p

Please post your full settings you are trying, and I can better reply to you as what may be too low or not enough volts
