    Re: Initial O/C settings for GA-EP45-DS3R?

    @GaryR

    That is a nice monitor for $229 for sure! Wish I had the cash for it now, but I wont have my cash for a monitor upgrade for a month or too. Hope to find a nice deal then. $479, no way! I could find much better uses of $$ then that, but then again I do not game. I would take one for free though for sure!!

    @BroncoBob9

    You will have to set a few things for sure to be stable at 400 FSB or more. Thanks for posting your specs, can you please fill this in with what you are using now and I will advise back some settings for you to try 3.4 with >>>>

    This is Just a template I use to ask people their settings, pay no attention to the numbers in it, replace with yours

Any suggestions on what are the good, decent priced brands? I haven't a clue about monitor as I do not game so Have not had much need for a nice one.
      whereabouts are you again LSD? you should be able to get a good fast monitor for about $200 if your looking in the right places.

      you you bronco, try this for 3.4GHz on your rig

          Re: Initial O/C settings for GA-EP45-DS3R?

          @LSDMEASAP & BONGWIZARD:
          Thanks a ton for the info!! I put these specs into my PC this morning and it booted perfectly. I'm running Prime95 all day while I'm at work and if everything is cool, I'll post the exact specs I used (a few items were different).

          Also, once I get it stable, I'd like some advice on which things to tweak for more speed! :)
