Need spec's for GA-EP45-UD3R P45 775 R
<HR style="COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=1 itxtvisited="1"><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->Hello All, I have pieced together a system to build and now I am looking for some help with the bios spec’s.
<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /><O:P itxtvisited="1"></O:P>
I have completed the build and powered it up for the first time and everything is recognized and seems to be functioning properly, but I would like some help with the fine tuning of the bios.
<O:P itxtvisited="1"></O:P>
The specs are as follows:
<O:P itxtvisited="1"></O:P>
GA-EP45-UD3R P45 775 R
E8500
450VX 450w corsair PS
vga asus eah4650/DI/512md2 512mb
4X2G MUSHKIN 996587
Xigmatek HDT-S1283 CPU cooler
HDD 640G WD WD6401AALS (2)
dvd burner samsung sh-s223Q (2)
Stuffed in CM690 coolmaster case<O:P itxtvisited="1"></O:P><O:P itxtvisited="1">

</O:P>My primary purpose is working with some large files (a lot of stitching panoramic multi-layered photos) in photoshop CS3, using several cs3 plugins; using dreamweaver and flash to update/maintain a website, surf the web, some occasional microsoft excel work, and some basic games, but nothing too graphics intense. Far and above, I want to be able to use CS3 and quickly load photos from DVD, HDD, and flash cards and handle large files without freezing up and or crashing.
<O:P itxtvisited="1"></O:P>
I am looking for some speed but not at the cost of stability.- Maybe overclock to 3.6 or so?
<O:P itxtvisited="1"></O:P>
<O:P itxtvisited="1"></O:P>
Thanks in advance,
<O:P itxtvisited="1"></O:P>
Bill

Re: Need spec's for GA-EP45-UD3R P45 775 R

I am testing those exact ram modules right now so you should be set! Only 4Gb though, but I can help you with 8 no problem

Here would be optimal ranges for your setup, CPU Voltage will be up to you to find as all CPU's are different. Auto for sure will not be wise

Lets get you stock stable first, sound good? Then all you will need to do is switch the ram multi to 2.00 and start working on your FSB and voltages for your overclock.
