EASY TUNE 6
I've installed a GA-EP45-UD3R board, system runs fine.
For some reason I cannot get Easy Tune 6 to start. I've downloaded the latest version, installed and reinstalled it several times. The symptom is: when I try to launch it, there is HD activity, but nothing else. System is trouble free otherwise. Yes, I realize there are criticisms of Easy Tune, but I want it for informational purposes. Anyone have any tips on what might be preventing this utility from launching? Looking at the startup programs, it does have a program that launches on startup but that isn't the main ET6 program. No other startup programs. TIA GA-EP45-UD3R Wolfdale E7400 w/ stock settings 4g OCZ Memory Vista 32 w/ SP1 Latest BIOS f6 |

(That was on Vista) But I doubt the BIOS is your problem. Maybe AV or firewall or something? Just guessing. fire up task mgr and see what it looks like as easytune is starting. Good luck with it!. Love this board!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the maturity of the BIOS in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- Kris |

EASY TUNE 6
Never Mind . . . .
My stupidity. I was expecting Easy Tunes to launch like any other app. Never noticed the Easy Tunes little bitty icon on the right side of the taskbar. So it DOES start, but you have to right click the icon on the taskbar, THEN choose show. I learned this from another post here. Still in all, most opinion seems to be against using Easy Tune for OC settings, from what I see, the settings should be made in the bios. My first move to OC'ing was to increase speed from 266 to 300. I'll watch the temps. Regards, Henry "Kris" wrote in message ...

Love the maturity of the BIOS in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- Kris Great - glad you got it! yeah, in MIT, I set auto,9,0.5,enabled,390,100,disa. trial and error to get to 390! I think it will go up to 398 or so. But then I had to watch DRAM that it didn't go too high - I now set : standard,disa,latch=266,mult=3.00A, simply because this gives me (1066 1170) where the second number is less than the max speed on my memory, which is about 1198 or so. if it's too high, it will simply try to start, fail, and then restart with lowered settings, though it seems to leave what you put into MIT the same - it just isn't using them if it rebooted because it failed. it's a very nice BIOS. I leave all voltages set to auto as I discovered that it actually uses a slightly higher voltage for vcore than I would have and is more stable. Good luck! -- Kris |
