Re: Gigabyte GA-EP45 Extreme rev1.0 Review

Some folks have stated CPU Termination (CPU VTT) and MCH are tied and better to have voltage values closer together. But I have yet to conclusively prove this to be the case.
Now at 60.6%, 63.3% 57.3% CPU Reference1, CPU Reference2 & MCH Reference
so roughly 3% difference between each.
565x7.5@2.0B 1,130 5,5,5,24
Had been trying at 570 , dropped fsb back a bit to bottom MCH Ref optimisation, so will see how ir pans out with this ratio
Advanced clock control is interesting 700mv , no skew

Nice work on the 2.40B

eva2000, does your analysis of this board consider it ok for high stable overclocks?
yes it's pretty good for stable and high clocks just the clock for clock performance isn't there so probably more work needed in bios although I've found some extra performance myself via MCH tweaks above Gigabyte GA-EP45 Extreme rev1.0 Review

FWIW: you may wish to compare your initial impressions with ocwb (but F5E bios)

Note: There is no review pages "menu", so you have to keep hitting "next" at bottom left
thanks wazzer

nice, you must have a slightly better board and/or cpu than me i'm stuck somewhere under 565FSB right now.

How to drop Everest Latency by 10.6
Think this is one of the highest stable FSBs I've hit but SuperPi is disappointing.
4,310 7.5x575@2B 1,150 5-5-5-20

still progress

Re: Gigabyte GA-EP45 Extreme rev1.0 Review

Great job Eva just grabbing the new bios will give it a run out

Bios F6C - 4,310 7.5x575@2B 1,150 5-5-5-20 Revisited You'll do for me 1m off 32m SuperPi
Wprime comparisons as well

Nice have you used SATA DVD drive on same ICH10R with hitachi raid together ? Can't seem to get my Acronis v11.8101 recovery boot cd to load with my Pioneer 216 SATA on ICH10R when raid is enabled. WinXP Pro SP3 and memtest86+ v2.01 cds boot fine though. 4x32GB OCZ Core SSD raid numbers look nice though - http://i4memory.com/f59/4x-32gb-ocz-...ks-tests-8944/

Seems F6H bios is here with improved dual channel memory oc'ing. Will flash later tonight.
