error10

Well it's been a fun run with this board, but I have to sell it to make way for my new Core i7 rig.

New set of Corsair Dominator ram arrived today. CM2X2048-8500C5D (2x2GB) with 5-5-5-15 timings. Stock voltage should be 2.1v.

Is there a reliable way (sans taking off the heatspreaders) to check which memory ICs these have)? Or does it not really matter?

Dominators these days are almost all PowerChip ICs, no idea about specific batch numbers...

Afzsom you planning on OCing the Dominators? I ask because I'm running 471FSB and this only gives me 942MHz and 1130MHz straps with nothing in between. I ran the RAM at 1130MHz for a couple weeks with stock timings and voltages but I got a BSOD so I set 'em back at 1:1... Also tried 1:1 @ 4-4-4-12 but this errored before Windows loaded.

If anyone has Dominators running stably at 1130+ or has successfully tightened 'em up please share your settings!

I might drop the multi and see how ridiculously high I can get the FSB with a 1:1 ratio...not sure. I'll probably just overclock to 3.6GHz again and then just increase the memory up a few ratios to see what kind of speed I can get, or just leave it at 1:1 with tight timings...dunno yet.

I find my OCZ reapers to be easier to work with on this board than my dominators as well.

I find corsair tends to work best with asus boards.

JrockMOD

whats a good benchmark program to use with this board?

Ledge68

There are many many benchmark programs and most run on any newer motherboard and CPU. What are you wanting to test?

3Dmark 06
Vantage
Everest
Super Pi
Sandra

Are just a few....

Okay, maybe this got nothing to do with oc-ing. But since this is the ep45-ud3p thread. I shall ask something..

During boot up afterthe gigabyte boot up picture, does anyone encounter the "PCI device listing" and "Verifying DMI Pool" ? Is there anyway to remove it, kinda sore in the eye when it boots up everything.
