Dedicated Gigabyte EP45-DQ6 thread

[Khaotic]

you must be lazy for not even looking back one page.

Well, ACE - I didnt see any setting templates on any pages in this thread. Sure, I see the link, but I can't access that link from the firewall I"m stuck behind at the moment.

I was trying the board (GA-EP45-DQ6) last night with the F8 BIOS and it was pretty much an overclocking turd. Could not move past a 345 FSB without a crashed boot. Keeping in mind I just pulled the board out of its box yesterday and went straight to the newest BIOS.

This morning, I put F7 on the board and was able to get to a 400FSB. When I tried 450, it was another crash POST and now the board hangs before POST. I've cleared the CMOS a few times (by the button on the bottom of the board) and it still hangs at post. The board isn't totally dead becuase if i pull the memory sticks and power-up i do get some beep codes. So.....
I pulled the battery and will let it sit until i get home from work tonight. That shoudl be about a 9 hour drain......
<NOTE> This is the DDR2 version of the board.
