The ga ep45-ud3lr thread

[sparkyork]

Hi everyone

I've recently purchased a ep45-ud3lr
CPU is q9300
750w psu
1tb sata
4gb corsair xms2 twin2x2048-6400

looks like a decent board alltgough I havnt booted into windows yet!

I'm having trouble getting the above ram working or atleast I think this is why I'm not booting to windows

anyone out there care to participate in gathering lots of info about this board and successful ram installations etc?

I find the bios over complicated to be honest I've got a 1333 fsb CPu and ddr2800 ram and I'm getting confused at what speed to set my ram too ?
Do I need to allow for double data rate and enter 400mhz!?

Any input appreciated

What bios are you running right now?

Hi, I'm on bios f10 at the moment I've flashed it from f7

anybody had this working?

This ram will run on your board http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=57

Cheers mate, but the corsair is unlikely too work properly?

Gonna take the corsair back and get some other

Get the g-skill I showed you, I know it works because I have that board and had issues with OCZ ram..So I bought the G-skill and haven't looked back!

Sounds good.

Are those 1 gig sticks or 2?
I fancy loading this board up as it's got a huge capacity

just hope the supplier I've got to fork tonight has some in stock, but I guess so long as there on the list then they should all work fine

[Fatman]

They are 2x2 g sticks........yes they will work fine with the F10 bios. I know because I also have the board and the ram...

   Sounds good to me! Asus has forums for each one of there boards! And I just replaced a P5N-D (asus) with the Gigabyte E45!  The Intel chipsets just run cooler than the Nvidia 750/80/90 boards!  Right now I have Q9550 bumped to 3.4Mhz  400x8.5  OCZ 4gig DRAM gold and on RAID-0 with Windows 7, 64. every things been running great!  I just keep wondering how better the RAID-0 is over a single disc?  I don't really notice a differance!
