Hello all, I have the UD3P rev 1.6 board, I'm running a Stepping E0 Q9550 and OCZ Gold Ram 4x2gb. I am using all 8 of the rear USB ports + firewire and I have an additional fan (in addition to the cooler, case fan).
I have 2 questions:
1.) Right now, I just want to get system stability before I go to overclock this thing. What MCH/ICH settings should I use given my RAM and usb load.
2.) I have hooked up a fan to the 3 pin header called system fan 1. But it spins pretty slowly - 800 rpm I believe. Is there a bios setting that I am not aware of that would boost this thing. (i'm running osx)
My thought process here is to get the system completely stable before I start to overclock. The OCZ Gold is 1066mhz (pc2-8500) ram, I assume that I will want to get the settings to run this is full 1066mhz before I overclock. Please let me know if that is not a good idea and if I'm just better keeping the ram slow and overclocking the CPU.
I have a corsair TX750 PSU, OCZ Vertex SSD drive, 2 SATA hard drives and 2 EVGA 9800GTX+ video cards. I realize that this is probably a fairly heavy load.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help.
