GB EP45/DS4P Continually Resetting.

Re: GB EP45/DS4P Continually Resetting.

Well it very well may, have you memtested it? And for how long?

Ya, I would drop it down one and if you like raise your FSB a little bit. You can overclock your ram, but doing it that far for 24/7 use may shorten it's life for sure. If you have a lifetime warranty on it, and do not care then you can use it till it dies and get new. Just be sure to not tell them you overclocked it not sure if OCZ allows overclocking

As low as you can have the voltage on ram and still pass memtest86+ is fine, and that is the better way to run it

The CPU Multi .5 use is up to you, and what you want to run your FSB at. It wont have any pos. or neg. affect on anything to have it on or off. Just helps you fine tune FSB if you want a certain freq is all

Re: GB EP45/DS4P Continually Resetting.

I dropeed the ram back a setting mate just to be sure, its now at 1022 i think for 1066 RAM, so that seems ok. I have also droppd the MCH Voltage back from 1.3V to 1.26. Will try to incrementally drop the Ram V down from 2.1 using memtest until it fails then raise it 1 setting. I see in a few other posts for changing settings etc u only run tests 2 & 5. Will tests 2 & 5 be ok for this little tweaking. Also LSD i see in CPU Z i it has a ratio figure i think it is, are u able to tell me what that is, or a link to a website explaining, all your help is greatly appreciated mate, ive learnt more from you these last few weeks then any computer retailer ive dealt with.

Re: GB EP45/DS4P Continually Resetting.

1022 is good for now, you may want to up your FSB a bit to get to 1066 if you can and be stable still. If not a few Mhz wont matter.

Ya, I do use 2 and 5, and 7 for tweaking tests. I run them for about 20 minutes or so each, depending on time I have. Sometimes more or less, but be sure after a few, especially many, changes you do run some full tests and a few hours of full tests once you have time to be sure of stability.

Which Ratio do you mean? Let me know and I will tell you some info

Here is some Memory ratio reading, if that is what you meant >>>

Re: GB EP45/DS4P Continually Resetting.

Yeh mate the FSB:DRAM ratio, i see when i change a few things this ratio changes. Im sorta unsure on what it actually is, ive tryed google etc but still dont really understand, also what is the optimal ratio if any that we should be after.

[Lsdmeasap]

Re: GB EP45/DS4P Continually Resetting.

Well there is plenty of links to it above.

What you want really depends on your FSB. 1:1 (2.00 in GA BIOS's) is better at a lower FSB, higher 2.4 often tests out best

It only changes in CPU-z if you change it. The setting in the BIOS is "System Memory Multiplier"

Re: GB EP45/DS4P Continually Resetting.

Ah ok np, yeh just wasnt sure what is was thats all. Im currently at 3.7 with the below settings. Would you mind having a check over them to make sure they would be ok for 24/7 operation or of any little tweaks i could make.

Re: GB EP45/DS4P Continually Resetting.

That looks good. How does it test out in memtest and or Orthos/prime?

Have you tried to lower ram or MCH Voltages? You may be able to, I would start with MCH

[icoz]

Re: GB EP45/DS4P Continually Resetting.

I ran memtest for bout 20min each on tests 2,5 and 7 with zero errors. I ran Prime95 for round 4 hours also with zero errors. I'll try to start lowering MCH back down to 1.26 and let you know how i go, should i still run the memtest between incremental changes of the MCH.

[Lsdmeasap]

Re: GB EP45/DS4P Continually Resetting.

Well Memtest or Orthos will error if MCH is too low. So either would be fine

Nice to hear you are getting stable now!! Good work!

Re: GB EP45/DS4P Continually Resetting.

Mate am sweet as up to 3.7 but anything from then on i just cant seem to find that sweet spot, do u have a list of settings for 4ghz?

[Lsdmeasap]

Re: GB EP45/DS4P Continually Resetting.

Post me what you are using now and I will advise you of some changes

Re: GB EP45/DS4P Continually Resetting.

My current 3.6 settings mate....thanks once again.
