ASUS P5B-E vs. Gigabyte 965P-S3/DS3 - OC!

[stingush]

what is the best board to OC with? what board will go into a higher FSB without any mods? - same price for me.

[Babsy]

hey i'd like to know too

[Kakulukia]

I'd prefer the P5B-E than the S3/DS3.

Argument=
The P5B series has proven itself as a good overclocker.

with no mods?

[stingush]

yea that's what i like to know.. with NO MODS.

[cirthix]

i'd give you a ds3 for a p5b-e :P

[stingush]

so as i see the P5B-E is the right choice isn't it?

[ScythedBlade]

as of now, without the DS3's F8 BIOS ... Yes, the P5B is the choice

[stingush]

what will the F8 bios do?

[stingush]

anyone?

[MadMikeSS]

anyone?

The F8 bios fixes some serious overclocking issues related to Micron D9 ram. FWIW, I am using the S3 board, essentially a cheaper version of the DS3, with the DS3 F8i bios and I can achieve 520FSB+. My ram craps out after that. No special mods. And I have option up to 2.5vdimm as opposed to the P5B-E (newer revision might be higher) with it's 2.2vdimm max. Both boards are good boards for OCing to be honest.

Gigabyte 965P-S3/DS3 is better
Asus P5B Deluxe doesn't like all RAM

I take gigabyte

[ryaan]

Just spend the extra $30 or whatever and get the deluxe.

[dicecca112]

your gonna get an average of 425-450FSB on the P5B-E stock, assuming you have ram, cpu, and cooling that is up to the task

[stingush]

i dont think so.. mayB your mobo is :banana::banana::banana::banana:ed or something.. i whould like atleast 500FSB(i have the right memories and the right cpu)
and - i dont have the spair 30$.. im in israel so the DLX costs 80$ more than the E version :(

Lets see I have ram that is capable of 500FSB, but what limits you is that the board limits you to 2.1. I haven' seen any ram that is PC2-6400 that can hit 500fsb on 2.1 or less.

[stingush]

2.1!?
so i think i'd take the DS3... are you sure? is there any bios to fix that? 2.1V!? its nothing!!

ds3 is a smart choice. u can go upto 2.4v

but aside from that i love mine. clears 500fsb easy :)

[dicecca112]

no its not 2.1, I just use the board, and didn't notice it went higher when I hit a brick wall :). Yes thats the main reason for the revisions. 2.1 on the 1.01g 2.4 on the 1.02g.

[stingush]

so.. what should i buy.. i still didn't get a clear answer :) didn't expact that from that kind of a forum :(

[dicecca112]

Ds3

[dnottis]

Check my sig, I've had 2 kits of Crucial 533 10th ann. that did DDR 500 @ 2.1v. Also the current kit of OCZ 8500 running ddr 1000+ @ 2.1v. 2.1v is more than enough to run DDR 500, in fact my OCZs have been up to 1040 @ 2.1v memtest stable.

The P5B-E rocks. I've primed up to 516 x 5 without a problem. I would like to see if a S3 would be able to deliver the same OC with my chip.

[stingush]

so with a GSKILL PC6400 1GBNQ.. what board will be the best?
and what board will be the best with Corsair XMS2-6400 512x2 15-5-5-5 ?

[stingush]

guys.. i tought this is a very good forum :(
i need answers and i can't get them anywhere :(
