Ga-ep35c-ds3r

[mrfixit]

Anyone out there playing with this board?
I ask since I'm ready to "give up" on the similar GA-P35C-DS3R mobo and all of its inherent 1066 memory issues/lockups/post reboot cycles.
Or am I just a masochist even asking/trying?

Re: Ga-ep35c-ds3r

I have had this one running for a week.
Using Corsair Ram.
So far seems pretty good.

Which Corsair did you use? I just ordered this MB and plan to use it with Corsair XMS2 800 and an E8400.

Re: Ga-ep35c-ds3r

Right now I am running TWINX2X2048-6400.
I Ordered TWINX2X2048-6400C4 last week.
It should be here tomorrow.
The ram I am running now is suppose to run at 1.8v.
The board has it running at 1.94v.
It has passed 5hrs of prime95.
It gets a 5.5 in the Vista score.
I have EVGA 680 that scores 5.9 with the same memory.
Hope the new set runs a little better.

I also have the TWIN2X2048-6400C4. I'm hoping to get the MB some time this week.

Re: Ga-ep35c-ds3r

mrfixit, I did a lot of research on this board, because it was my first choice (I went with the DS4 instead). In a majority of the reviews and user comments I read people had the best success with G.SKILL RAM. I ordered this RAM for my DS4, based on the reviews and overall compatibility. Perhaps you just need to change out your RAM.

In the end, when in doubt, see what others are saying that own that particular board (like on Newegg).
