Default Re: GA-EP45T-DS3R DDR3-1600 So far so good

Thanks for the input guys.

I just got through transferring the guts out of my daily use/internet computer into my Antec 900 case. Since the outside temperatures have been up to 106 degrees F here in Austin, it is getting warmer upstairs where my office is. 78 F downstairs and 81 upstairs. I could hear the fan on my old 7900 GT going full out - so it was a great excuse to buy a CS Sniper for my gaming rig.

My AC works great but costs a fortune to keep the house cool.

I should have the gaming computer up and running in a few hours and will post some shots for you.

The guys at Tom's Hardware gave me the idea for the timings.
I am not sure how long they tested it with their settings (1667 @7 7 7 15) but I figured I would give it a go and see what happens.

Here is the article from Tom's Hardware - see second table on page.
