GA-EP45-DS3R and Core 2 Quad Q8200

Leaving tRD(Static tRead Value) result in poor memory performance, 7 should work fine if not then 8.
How come 2.45GHz? My math is off but not by that much, last I heard 400x7 = 2800.

Check on the tRD setting change to 7 first then 8. Oh yes must be Typo will correct ASAP.

Hey I am still having issues with posting on this forum I get a grey field in the typing box will post a screenie ..

[MadMax2911]

Like this grey area LOL I disable my AV NOD32 and then I can post. May have to post another time in NOD32 forum. Hopefully i will get a bit more help over there.
More stuff later got to leave for work

I get glitches like that with chrome and I dont have a AV installed atm. I have had it look just normal but with out being able to type I usally just hit the refresh button.

Changed settings as requested but I thought you said 6 and not 7 or 8 so I got a Overclock error message in the BIOS. I loaded optimised defaults and saved and reset to all recommended values. I am now running 8 in static tRD.

Ran 3Dmark06 this morning and did not get results I expected :( they were improved from the day before but not as good as some I did last year... I narrowed it down to a different driver 182 and now I use the approved 175 driver which is listed on the futuremark webpage. The 182 driver does show up as approved in my other test so I plan on switching back to 182.

I will get some other BM pix up as soon I can. Like Memset and coretemp with P95(later) Maxmem etc..

7 sould work at 400MHz with SMM 2.66 but if you plan to OC more down't worry about it.

Regarding OC ing more, I am happy with this OC so far. I know it can do more but I am testing stability now. just got some more testing done as you can see, sorry i have been busy. By the way what is the memory divider or ratio on this clock 1:1 ?

[Chike]

GFlops are actually better than your baseline. I mean if you scale them down you get more than you had in baseline.

By the way what is the memory divider or ratio on this clock 1:1 ?

It's on MemSet, 3:4 (1.33 clock, 2.66 DDR)

[MadMax2911]

testing posting operation right now disregard this post...........:)

[Acebmxer]

your test has failed!
