ga-ep45-ud3p memory settings

[schucksguy1635]

1st time poster here. I have ga-ep45-ud3p w/e7200 2.53ghz (no overclock at this point) and kingston Khx85002k2/2gr.Of course it reads pc2-6400 at 800mhz. board is rev.1.0 f4 bios.Can some suggest the proper memory settings to get my memory to pc8500 1066mhz as advertised?
Thanks

Re: ga-ep45-ud3p memory settings

Please link me to your exact ram, and tell me how many sticks you are using (2x1 or 2x2)

Then fill this out with what you are using and I will advise back. Normally you just need to change your memory multi and set performance enhance to standard. But many other things may need set.

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

Re: ga-ep45-ud3p memory settings

Ok, I'v never used memtest86. I have it downloaded to my desk top. It wants copied to a cd......then what how and where do I use it.

Re: ga-ep45-ud3p memory settings

Do you have a floppy? If so download the floppy version. The ISO needs to be burned as a image this is different then all other data burns. Here is a few ways to do that >>>
How to Write ISO Files to CD

Then you hit F12 at bootup and Choose Boot to CD and it will run
