I have a Gigabyte GA-EP43T-UD3L mother board with an intel E6300 processor. The processors speed is supposed to be 2.8 ghz, but the motherboard detects it as 2.26 or something like that.
So how am I supposed to make it run at 2.8? I can increase the multiplier to 10x, and increase the .5 to 1 and get exactly 2.8ghz, but is this the proper method? I am afraid this is actually not this is the way its supposed to run, like maybe it is overclocking it to run at the right speed.
Is this the way I am supposed to do it?
Same problem with the memory. My Gskill ddr2 1066 memory gives constant blue screens of death after loading windows, and requires hours of trial and error to get the timmings and all settings exactly right in order for the system to be stable.
I guess I have grown ignorant because I am used to using motherboards that get it right without me having to figure it all out.
Can anyone help me?
