Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

Still not skewing it? D-and-W don't fear the skew.

Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

Does PCI-e frequency above 100Mhz (=above default) have any impact on stability? :-O

**Psycho101** · 07-21-2009, 07:43 AM

Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

For me, anythnig above 103 and I can't boot. It's worth trying but YMMV.

Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

102 does seem to have improved things slighly for me but I am still failing. Going to retry the settings above tonight to see if it was a fluke getting 17+hrs the first time...

skew it!!!

try 150 MCH and 250 CPU.. it's about the only thing you havn't tried.

Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

Am I right in thinking that when we upgrade to a new BIOS we lose all our saved profiles.. and not only that but from what I've read you will need to retry all profiles as the voltages needed for stability can change between BIOS levels.

**D-an-W** · 07-22-2009, 02:15 PM

Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

Oh, believe me I have tried skew...in fact just tried the ones you mention in your Sig...failed Prime Large after 45mins.

Yes you are correct on the profiles, but you can always go back to F9 should you ever need to.

Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

Before you flash to a newer bios, save your current bios settings to a floppy, usb, fat16 or fat32 drive. This way you can restore all your previous settings with the previous bios version. This is done using F11 and F12 at the main bios screen.

And again!!!!

Do NOT do this. PERIOD. Explained by the more educated guys here endless times.

You misunderstood post #474.
Using this procedure will restore your previous bios version along with all your saved profiles.
This technique will NOT restore your saved profiles with the newer or older bios version.

Someday I hope to be considered one of the more educated guys here.

Damnit, I am sorry dude. I misread :)

I would recommend writing settings down and restoring them manually. There may be changes to the BIOS in regards to hidden settings as well as tuning values that Auto sets. If you load an old profile you would be over riding these possible improvements.

There is also a warning on screen recommending not to load a priofile from a previous version.

I'm not saying you'll do any damage, but I always make fresh profiles of stock, 3GHz, 3.4GHz, 3.6GHz and 3.9GHz when I flash to a new version.

Edit*** just noticed the "with reflashing back to previous BIOS". Apologies!
