Overclock Help EP45C-UD3R

[frankie97]

Lsdmeasap, I get what you're saying now about how to change the termination so it causes the MCH Ref to auto adjust. I am not messing with that right now though and am simply trying the original settings that you gave me (the highest values) and tried MCH voltage at all ranges from 1.2-1.32 aand it faills at all of them.

Also, I can't send you anymore Private messages because it says your quota is full and u need to erase some messages before you can receive anymore

Ya sorry my inbox is a busy place every day, best to keep our thoughts in the thread anyway so myself and or others can see what you have tried and tested and what all we have discussed.

Does this work? Just to check out a few things, mainly if your CPU is the issue you are having now or your ram only

[frankie97]

Well....what do ya know.....it took that setting and now the CPU is running at 3.0......

now what do we do?

[frankie97]

Im guessing that means that it as a memory issue?? Do I have bad RAM or what?

[Lsdmeasap]

OK, good.

That means a few things. One either your ram settings were just off, or ram related (Vdimm, Vtt, MCH) were off.

Since I did raise a few things, please now again try those and only change the Memory Multi back to 4.00B

And hey, like I said in a PM have you ever tested this ram one stick at a time at stock? If not you should do that now to be sure you do not have faulty ram.

Test with one stick in slot one, everything (CPU Included) at auto except your memory multi, set to whatever + 1600Mhz, set Main timings manually rest on auto, and set your ram voltage to spec. Test each stick using Memtest86+ 2.01 and run 5-10 passes, if all is well with one stick move onto the next.

This should be done on day one when receiving any memory.

[frankie97]

Ok.....I leave everything the same that was successful before and changed only the memory Multi from 3.20B to 4.00B and I get beeps again and an unsuccessful boot once again.....now what?

[frankie97]

3.33D is successful which is 1333.....but as soon as I do 4.0, it fails.....

[Lsdmeasap]

OK, please give me the full exact settings you used for the underclock setup that worked.

You may just need to adjust your CPU Overclock, so you can either use 3.20B to get 1600 (500 FSB) or adjust so you can use 3.33D (480 FSB), you can also try 4.00A but it may be worse

[frankie97]

This is what I have that is successful

No, I havent tested each stick individually.......that's gonna be a pain in my rear!! Is that the next step I need to do though? Or can we test anythoing else first to see if we can get where we need to be?
