Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB
Well, I must say, Edge, you certainly are using a different approach in your bios settings to achieve stability. But it is working for you so one can't really knock it. While it may appear "madness" by some others that have been able to work with lower mch core values, there may be some "method" to it. Further to Psycho's suggestion, you might want to experiment with other combinations in your bios settings by lowering your vtt. Some have felt that a (begin edit)vtt value of no more than 0.05-0.10v (end edit) below vcore is recommended, but I only feel this may be more geared to higher vcore levels, which just happens to be where you are at. With a lower vtt, you might be able to lower your mch ref and cpu ref. In turn it might work in concert with a lower mch core.
Good luck and welcome to the forum.
