Thx You get a cheque or prepaid credit card, depending on the manufacturer. You can use the prepaid credit card anywhere that accepts it (not many places accept AMEX lol). | ||

Now this looks potentially too low for stability, but hopefully it still is (if not, just up the voltage back a little). I'd keep running prime95 for a while, and also test a game or 3DMark or something that's less of a constant load to see if that's stable as well. | ||

There weren't many good sales on motherboards to begin with. But the P8Z68M Pro is what you want. | ||

All 4 dimms, both blue, or both white provide the error while 1 in blue, 1 in white, or 1 in blue and 1 in white posts to bios. Have tried manually setting timings and frequency in bios, sort of at a loss now.

If it's already at 1.5v than increase to 1.6v and try again. | ||

 edit: wait nevermind you have zip ties on the fan it looks like. Rats nest wiring forever! edit2: I forget. Out of curiosity, what was the old model Antec power supply? That chassis layout looks like some Antec Sonata model. | ||

Unfortunately it had no effect, still get the 45 error code in the same configurations on both 1.5 and 1.605 (wouldn't let us set 1.6 exactly) voltages. It may also be worth noting that the 2 slots closest to the CPU are the ones that do not work. Going to try removing the Zalman heatsink and using the stock. | ||

Wow how didn't I notice this earlier? That is one amazingly cheap, good 1000w PSU. | ||
