Hello,

I have the folowing configuration on my pc :

CPU - Intel q8200
MB : Gigabyte EP45 - DS3 (bios ver F9 )
Mem: 2x2GB Mushkin PC8000- 1000mhz ( red )
PSU : CoolerMaster Real power 620W
Video : MSI RADEON 4850
Case : Antec 300


I need some help with the bios settings to make the memory work at 1000 or 1066 mhz stable . Now they are running at 800mhz

Thank you

Re: Gigabyte EP45 - DS3 and Mushkin pc8000

Thank you for the settings.
The only problem I have is that i can't use 3.20B setting - At 1066 mhz. My vista don't start- it is restarting
I manage to run them at 1000mhz stable using another multiply so it is ok.

Re: Gigabyte EP45 - DS3 and Mushkin pc8000

They will do 1066 for sure, if you want let me know and I will help you get it working.

If you do want to try, post me exactly what you are using now and I will advise for 1066

Re: Gigabyte EP45 - DS3 and Mushkin pc8000

Hello again ...
I am back home for holidays and i have time to play with my pc.
Now I am running my q8200 at 2800mhz with fsb 400 and same settings you suggested me and the system is stable and works great.
I changed only the System Memory Multiplier to keep the magic number 1000 at memory frequency , CPU Vcore to 1,2 v and CPU Termination at 1.200V
I am planning to get tomorow another pair of same mushkin 2x2 gb to raise my ram at 8gb and I want to know if i must do some changes in order to keep the system working fine

Thx
