Gigabyte EP45T-DS3 memory upgrade to 12-16GB
« on: November 28, 2017, 02:41:52 pm »
Hi all

I have an Gigabyte EP45T-DS3 motherboard with working 2x2GB OCZ 3P16002G memory kit (1600Mhz, CL7, 1,65V). (CPU: Intel Core Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz)
In motherboard specification: "4 x 1.5v DDR3 DIMM socket supporting up to 16 gb of system memory."
I want upgrade the memory to 12-16GB.

In official supported memories list (http://download.gigabyte.asia/FileList/Memory/motherboard_memory_ga-ep45t-ds3r.pdf) are memories with 1-2GB, and 4x2=8GB only.
Which 4GB memories are supported? (I tried two types with different supported settings, but not working)

Board is approaching 10 yrs old.  4GB DIMMS may be tough to come by in the required spec. I personally suggest you upgrade.
