Re: Bios and Ram Settings help X58-UD3R (Rev 2.0), i7-950, G.Skill 1600 DDR3
Pasted below are my current BIOS setting that I am running with, please let me know what you guys think. There are a few things that I am unsure of however, the Load-line Calibration seems to have two other options, a profile 1 & 2. I am also not entirely sure I am running with the best voltage either.
I am trying to find a convienent way to post my test results and things but I have them in a spreadsheet with a lot of screen shots, so when I have more time I will post them as well.
On another note, do you guys believe that if I free up some more space of my SSD it will run much faster? I have all of my programs files in addition to my OS there and I am starting to think that I may not need them all there but just some.
Anyway, thanks again for the help so far you guys are awesome.
