  • 2x2GB @ 1066 on P45? Argh!!

    I have tried a variety of settings but I am not able to get my GA-EP45-DS3R stable with a pair of 2 GB sticks at 1066 MHz. Memtest #5 fails and often locks up - I even got in a reboot loop and had to clear CMOS!

    I would love to get some suggestions on how to do this. For the moment I have backed down to 800 MHz, where it seems to be quite happy.

    Please post me a link to your ram, and let me know what CPU you have.

    Then give me your settings that are failing 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

      Hi Lsdmeasap:
      Do you have a template for the GA X48 DS5 ? This is the RAM I have.
      I want to OC to 3.4GHZ with a Q9550 C1. not SLAWQ.
      Newegg.com - G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory I would really appreciate some help, everytime I try my CPU W skyrocket to 45W. I am using Everest Ulkltimate and CPU-Z to monitor the temps and settings. 400 X8.5 = 3.4GHZ but its the other setting like MCH I dont understand plus the Core Voltage is about 1.23 and either way its not good, the Watts go up. I would really appreciate your help on this. Thanks.
