Re: OC of GA-EP45-DS3L (easy tune?)

I use it to compare settings, and test things that is all. Real overclocking should always be done in the BIOS

If you would like some help with your overclock please link me to your ram and tell me how much you have. Then fill this out with your exact settings you was trying that fail and I will advise >>>

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

Re: OC of GA-EP45-DS3L (easy tune?)

Thanks in advance for help. All the settings are default now. I have 2 sticks of 2gb of Corsair CM2X2048-6400C4DHX ram 800MHz 4-4-4-12 2.10V. Dave.

Re: OC of GA-EP45-DS3L (easy tune?)

Please fill in the above template so I can know what you are using, then I will post back optimal ranges for you

**race301** · 01-03-2009, 06:48 AM

Re: OC of GA-EP45-DS3L (easy tune?)

OK I will today. what is the best way to send? I saved your template to a work doc. Dave.

Re: OC of GA-EP45-DS3L (easy tune?)

Ya, just copy that blank template above into a notepad and then either print it out and fill it in with a pen while you are looking at the BIOS or make note of them somehow on paper. Then come back here and paste the empty template and then fill it in with your settings and post the reply

Thanks so much, I will try this after dinner tonight and let you know out come. PS do I leave to energy saver on my system? Dave.

PS, do I leave SMART enabled in regular bios? Also I forgot to say my version is f9. Dave.

Re: OC of GA-EP45-DS3L (easy tune?)

Energy saver you can install if you want, but you would need to have C1E and EIST Enabled in the BIOS.

Smart you can leave on as well if you like

You should use something else like everest ultimate to check your voltages and use RealTemp or CoreTemp to watch your core temps. As you can see that program does not pickup things properly.

Looks good man, have you tested for stability with Orthos and or Memtest86+ yet?
