Re: Wanting to add 16GB and a pinch of OC to EP45T-DS3R...but much bad voodoo, memory, etc.
I've fixed a few voltages per your screen shots and am letting the other voltages "float" against them on AUTO. I can run memtest for 17m and prime for 5m with these fixed voltages. Will do 1-2 hour memtest run and overnight prime tonight, then publish full BIOS settings for a final time with 3.75GHz/16GB RAM.
I believe voltage ranges are FAR more tolerant than most think. Kind of like how the 55mph speed limit is set or that the Motrin bottle says only 3x12mg daily.
When I boot stock 3GHz profile I notice that on AUTO my RAM is being run at something like 1.79 or 1.75 volts. I believe manuf. MUST work these kinds of ranges into their chips or they’d get too many returns.
Also when I boot 3GHz stock profile…sometimes it shows 2GHz during POST! What the heck could be causing this??
I created my stock profile after a CMOS clear by first “update with optimum values”, 2nd save it under “stock profile” and reboot. After clean reboot I finish my ‘baseline’ by setting cpu fan alerts, suspend behaviour, suppress of logo, then save and reboot a final time. All other profiles are based upon this baseline for the most part.
Due to my closed loop cpu cooler being wired to my cpu fan header I have also had to disable the BIOS setting for smart fan control so the pump will A) always run at maximum and B) prevent computer startup if pump not on
