Memory wise had no problem with 1st and 2nd gen DDR3 2000 on the 3R but didn't like the current gen above 2000. As for modded BIOS board took all I put in it with the latest available BIOS on the Gigabyte site. Going to be interesting how the DDR2/3 works out. Thanks Alpi had one for the P5K64 WS, had to hit F1 to boot through on both a 5xxx and 3xxx with the 5xxx being a little finicky in Windows. yea I got DDR3 Crucial 1333 and GSkill 1866 and then I got the DDR2 800 OCZ gonna try out the 1866 stuff today and see if I can get it to rip on after getting 30mhz more on the FSB with my Q8200 I got high hopes for this board really glad I got it now gonna give the X5450 a rip here in a little bit waiting on the cable guy to come hook my home phone up and give me a new DVR cable box they tried to knock my internet down from 100 to 60 I told them I will freak the F out they change my internet I hate when a new company takes over for one that was already there

Load Line Calibration will make the voltage at or higher than what is selected in the bios. I am glad you like it. this X5450 is a twitchy mofo if I try to give it more then 1.65v it flakes out I had to turn off the load line to get it to stay under 1.65v cause with it on it puts it to 1.68v at 1.62v setting but I took a lot of #1s with it but I got my 2 Xeon 5140 and my stickers and a E8500 to run still and the E4500s I got but having fun now that I got the X5450 done lol

I was looking at your subs stick two sticks of DDR2 in there and run them on the 2D memory strap 510 clock will give you 1020 DDR time them at 5-5-5-15. It will be a lot lot better bench speed wise than DDR3 1244 9-9-9. Unless you can get your DDR3 to run at 1600+ 8-8-8 or tighter like 7-7-7 With loosely timed DDR3 9-9-9 you will need to be near 2000 Mhz to be even close to good.

Which is really tough on 775 and 771. The 1800 range is normally all you can get with them. DDR2 will be much better.

Thats right Scotty I have got 2 sets of DDR3 that I use in 775 A set of silver Corsair XMS 7-7-7-20 1600mhz 1.85v they are micron D9. Or the good old G.Skill PI they will do 6-7-6-20 1600Mhz or they will do 7-9-7-24 2000Mhz, much over 2000Mhz I have let tRCD out to 10. They are a good all round set in the Crosshair V Z I have had them running at 2250 7-11-7-24 1T I would like to find a set of the 2200Mhz PI

Leave the MCH Frequency Strap on Auto and use either the 4.00D or the 4.00B mem seting

Leave the MCH Frequency Strap on Auto and use either the 4.00D or the 4.00B mem seting tried all 4 of the 4.0 A B C and D none would post or either make it to the DMI status so I dunno Im not very good with the mem part

Ok set the 4 settings like this if 4.00D or 4.00B wont work try 3.33D or 3.33B. 500 Bus x3.33 will give you 1665 Mhz DDR Performance Enhance set to Standard you are manually timing it not the board. XMP disable. MCH Frequency Latch Auto It also mightnt just like the ram in it.

There should be a Chip near the mem with a PL number. That's the number you enter in SetFSB. Von I was able to use easytune 6 to do it but the damn thing looks all weird could be the rez and shit I run my screen at Id like to use setfsb I will look on the mobo for it Easytune is very unstable software. Don't bother with it. I think the Easytune5 with older boards and WinXP wasn't bad. but everything after that it's near useless. if you're going to use it, use it only to monitor the system/temps/voltages. makes for easy screenshots when looking for help on debugging an OC.

Have you tried running the G Skills at there rated speed. Run the FSB at 467, mem timings auto, strap auto and see if the board picks up the rated speed of the G Skills which hopefully will be one of the 1:2 memory divider's then use FSB and see how high they will run on the auto timings. 1:2 not a good memory divider for the 8500 but it will give you a good idea what the ram will do.

Focus on skew-s and nb temp ! These are the key to higher quad fsb. And try to avoid any overvoltage. It leads to a collapse usually. Good to hear that You like the board.

Shady you see the DDR2 that Brad has put up they would do you proud. yea I seen those he sent me a link to some ddr3 also gonna go get those they are corsair 1600mhz he said they would do me good too I didnt even think about NB voltages I need to figure out what I should be setting it on for C2D and quads I been getting better results outta my 1333 C2Ds with this board

1.6v for high bus and maybe up to 1.7v but first get a butter knife and lever that blue name plate off the top of the NB cooler and sit a 60 mill fan straight on top of the heatsink.

Tease, I don't use those little fans for the board, 10" house fan full throttle and it keep dust off the board!!!! (Sorry to hear that )

As long as no sizzle & smoke with bad smells might just need a rest with the battery out and time to recoup if you were feeding it cold water.

I tried a bunch of CPUs same result I think it freaked out when I put everything back on auto and saved it but didn't let it power back on before putting the next CPU in either that or it got water under the plastic part of the socket some how since it was getting on the inside of the metal CPU socket cover I got the battery out now gonna try it again another day
