Gigabyte GA-EP45-EXTREME Living Review

[supershanks]

Highest FSB seems to be best, but as I said your ram may limit you.

f 5-5-5-15 and 450

sounds best way to explore.
Try gradually increasing FSB from 450 to see how far your ram can get.
Grab Prime95 and test stability. Check out the link "How to Use Prime and interpret prime failures" and see how high you can get ram.

Some 6400 ram can get to 1067 (533FSB) whilst other kits overclock very little.

my ep45 extreme died 2 days ago.
I have c1 error and reboot in loop.

Been there done that, it is recoverable.
See sbenrap's Unbrick procedure Link, as you can see It sorted my Gigabyte GA-EP45T-EXTREME, saves the hassle & delay of an RMA.

you had short circuited the pin of the main or backup bios???

in the picture seems the main bios.

[supershanks]

I think it's the backup bios, If you look at the pics the Extreme is the other way round to the X48. Worth a try
AS you look at it it was the right hand side chip I shorted.

in this pics the chip on the left is the backup bios, the chip on the rigth is the main bios.
ever in this pics the pin of the right bios (main bios i think) is short circuited.

thanks for the help and the patience to reply my questions
