I've been experimenting with my EP45-EXTREME and attempting to overclock it. To be honest, I don't know what most of the setting even are.
I've seen posts on the Internet where people have gotten as high as 5.0GHz.
Currently, the best I've been able to do is 3.75GHz with my Intel Quad Core Q9550 processor.
I'm attaching my current settings. With 2 sticks of RAM, it worked ok but when I added two more identical sticks, Everest's system stability checker started reporting errors.
I'm open to any suggestions, recommendations or just flat out tell me where I've screwed something up.
Thanks!
