G.Skill in Gigabyte Ep43-DS3R

[strike23]

Hello
I have a Gigabyte motherboard EP43-DS3R (with the latest drivers and bios version F8) can tell me how to properly configure a kit of 4gb G. Skill F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK (2x2gb) CL 5-5-5-15 2.0-2.1 v in the bios thank you very much .......

..... I have a Core2Duo E6400 and Gigabyte 9600GT

Re: G.Skill in Gigabyte Ep43-DS3R

Strike, there are many posts here with BIOS templates very similar to yours. If you spend a bit of time looking around, you'll find some good pointers for how to get your settings right.

Re: G.Skill in Gigabyte Ep43-DS3R

Are you stable on those settings?

Re: G.Skill in Gigabyte Ep43-DS3R

Yes but The programme Everest my ram G.skill said DDR2 800? Why? Note in windows for the ram is 5.6 and 5.9 have a friend why? TOC and feel that are hot

Re: G.Skill in Gigabyte Ep43-DS3R

DDR2 1066 ram is really 800 and HAS to be manually set to 1066. All 1066 ram is this way.

And just so you are clear on how everest works, what you have above is the SPD Programmed JEDEC settings, not what you are currently running. This image shows the Everest page where you would see current ram speeds >>>>



Here is some suggested timings for your board and ram. With NO Overclocking in mind >>>>

Re: G.Skill in Gigabyte Ep43-DS3R

In these values:
(G) MCH Frequency Latch
If you put 400 gives me 2.00 or 2.66 in Memory System Multiplier and not just 1066 only with Auto in System Memory Multiplier but the system does not started, I leave at:
(G) MCH Frequency Latch ...............: 400
System Memory Multiplier ..........Auto ..... ..... or

(G) MCH Frequency Latch ...............: 266
System Memory Multiplier ........ 400

thanks

Re: G.Skill in Gigabyte Ep43-DS3R

In Bios in Channel A and B see these options:

Channel A:
-Channel A Driving Setting:
.Driving Strength Profile: Auto.....(667mhz, 800mhz, 1066mhz, Oc 1200, Oc 1333)
.Data Drinving Pull-Up Level: Auto
.Cmd Drinving Pull-Up Level: Auto
.CTRL Drinving Pull-Up Level: Auto
.CLK Drinving Pull-Up Level: Auto

.Data Drinving Pull-Up Level: Auto
.Cmd Drinving Pull-Up Level: Auto
.CTRL Drinving Pull-Up Level: Auto
.CLK Drinving Pull-Up Level: Auto

Channel B:
-Channel B Driving Setting:
.Driving Strength Profile: Auto.....(667mhz, 800mhz, 1066mhz, Oc 1200, Oc 1333)
.Data Drinving Pull-Up Level: Auto
.Cmd Drinving Pull-Up Level: Auto
.CTRL Drinving Pull-Up Level: Auto
.CLK Drinving Pull-Up Level: Auto

.Data Drinving Pull-Up Level: Auto
.Cmd Drinving Pull-Up Level: Auto
.CTRL Drinving Pull-Up Level: Auto
.CLK Drinving Pull-Up Level: Auto

.........I leave it on Auto?

Re: G.Skill in Gigabyte Ep43-DS3R

I set my Driving Strength Profiles manually to 800, but didn't notice any differences.

Re: G.Skill in Gigabyte Ep43-DS3R

You can get 1066 with 333, just choose the correct memory multiplier

[strike23]

Re: G.Skill in Gigabyte Ep43-DS3R

The option:
(G) MCH Frequency Latch ...............: [400] the PC does not boot only works in 266 is on my CPU? Core2Duo E6400 2.13ghz is ....... and ..... because the note on Windows Vista memories are 5.6 and a friend gives it 5.9?

[Lsdmeasap]

Re: G.Skill in Gigabyte Ep43-DS3R

Change ONLY that setting by itself and save and apply, you should be able to for sure use 333
