Title: Gigabyte GA-EP45T-EXTREME
Post by: supershanks on September 12, 2008, 03:08:42 pm

Gigabyte GA-EP45T-EXTREME
Having my DDR3 kit lying about unused I decided to invest in the Gigabyte GA-EP45T-EXTREME (http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/reviews/9806-gigabyte-ga-ep45t-extreme-living-review.html) after being able to review the DDR2 version  Gigabyte GA-EP45-EXTREME (http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/reviews/7548-gigabyte-ga-ep45-extreme-living-review.html)
Other than the obvious difference of memory type , the most surprising difference is the ommision of the CPU Reference voltage options (Gtlref1 &2)

Good news Gtlref  (CPU Reference ) is now in bios.

Hi supershanks

good review!

FYI - bios F4B has improved overclocking DDR3 to 2200+

Hi Andrew,
Thanks.

I heard that before I  flashed . Tha't why I was surprised to see that as with the earlier Bios F3 the Driving Profiles was empty

unlike the DDR2 version, which has a full compliment of profiles :-
