Hi Guys,
Got the Gigabyte EP45-Extreme to play with my
Q9650 L820A930 07/08.
Main objective was to get to know the Extreme board and compare it with my UD3P.
I used the
strap 5:6 and I got to say it was a pleasure at
1230Mhz rams where doing fine. Still un-tweaked but if I have more time during the week I'll
post updates.
All
low volts for people that want 24/7 use:
1.32vcore, 1.30vtt, 1.50pll, 1.440vnb, 1.20vsb (except
ram that was on Auto but can be lowered to 2.060vdimm).
