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

For specific troubleshooting and testing with OCCT:

1) Select CPU:OCCT on the main screen.
2) Click on the "Test Type" field and select "Custom".
3) Click on the "Test Mode" field and select:
--> Small Data Set for "small FFT" cpu testing
--> Medium Data Set for "Blend" testing of cpu and ram
--> Large Data Set for "large FFT" ram testing
4) Set the Custom Test Duration time.

There are similar Custom settings using the CPU:Linpack test option where:
--> Low (25% free mem) uses the most memory
--> Medium (50% free mem) uses less memory
--> High (90% free mem) uses the least memory

Watch your cpu vcore temperatures when testing with the Linpack option.
20 - 30 minutes of Linpack testing should be sufficient for each Linpack option.

Post your bios settings with your test results, additional screen-shots help to eliminate possible errors and/or confusion.

Loading OPTIMIZED bios defaults is REQUIRED before you tweak your bios settings.
This includes new system setups and immediately after flashing your bios!!!
