Re: Issues and problems EP45-UD3R
Excellent.
It's always best IMO to get rid of as many auto settings as possible. This means you're able to tune performance to what actually works best rather than what the board thinks. It's also been known to happen that the values the BIOS says it's setting don't actually match what is really set. Rare but possible. Advanced RAM timings are 99% of the time stable on auto (tRead may need a tweak) and the main benefit of setting these is to squeeze a drop or two more performance out of the system.
VDIMM is another name for DRAM Voltage. As long as you have it set to the spec of your RAM (usually stated on the packaging or the sticker on the module) then you have it correct.
Let us know how you get on stability wise. You may want to run a program called Intel Burn Test to roughly verify stability. Set it for 5 runs on maximum stress and in a few minutes it can tell you if you are in the realms of stability. Running Prime95 over night on "Blend" for a min of 8 hours would be a more thorough test IMO. 8 hours should be fine for general purpose stability and gaming etc. Only do more if you're an overclocking enthusiast or do alot of distributed computing, like Folding@Home, where it's crucial the data you send is 100%.
