Greetings All!
I have a stable build on a GA-EP45T-UD3P (rev 1.0) with 8GB of ram (4x2GB). I have the CPU Frequency and the FSB maxed out in this build (the highest core temp hits 66C max running prime95 for 24 hours, going higher with either CPU Freq or FSB pushes the temp higher then I want to go, and I don't want to buy a new heat sink to bring the temps down further). I know very little about tweaking the memory timings and so I am hoping that the knowledgable folks here can make some suggestions concerning what I should try to tighten up in order to improve the memory performance. I am not looking to eek out every last ounce of performance but am more looking for the things I should try that will give me a reasonable performance return on my tweaking time (I hope that acutally makes sense :) ).
I am content with my current configuration given that this board is gimped and wont run at a Memory Bus speed of 1333MHz with 4 DIMMs in it (see my earlier post for details). I am just looking for any memory settings that I should tighten up to improve the memory performance, if any exists.
My current settings are below. Thanks in advance for any and all insights!
