DS3 + allendale, bios pics to boot @ 490 default vmch

Setup:

E6300
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 F4a bios
Corsair 8000UL D9 (yellow slots)
Active RAM and NB cooling, I have 80mm and 120mm fans at 5V
Big Typhoon cpu cooler
PCI 2MB video
FSP Epsilon 700W
2x74 raptor raid + 250GB + 80GB storage


I can boot into windows at 7x490 and default vmch, and need only +.1V for some stability.

System is at least 4 hours Rosetta stable at 7x480 and at least 2 hours 3d stable. Still testing...

Unfortunately FSB wall at 497 no matter what settings. I will run DICE on cpu and chipset in a few days :)

Here are bios settings you might try:

:eek: wow! nice board there

watercooling??

nice

Is the refresh to act delay zero by default or did you set that?

This is on air but booting at 490 is not a good idea since sometimes it resets settings.

I can confirm that there is no cold boot problem at 475 even after 8 hours of sleep :)

Yep, act delay is 0 in bios by default

veary nice kiwi :toast: , i hope you wont burn this mobo like it happened with bad axe :woot:

damn its so hard to buy this mobo in Canada :( , btw. keep pushing the FSB ;)

so du u only have 1GB of RAM?? 2 x 512MB? do u think 4x512 might affect this??

nice going kiwi
hope this works with an 8x multi

Nice work my friend. These Allendale seem to be excellent overclockers. .

good job!

off topic , but i have a question, the corsair ram u used, did it boot up at start w/o changing bios? and then after did u change the DIMM settings to +0.4v?

I can hit 495 stable tested with prime for 3-4 hours no error whatsoever, with only +0.1 vmch (yeah, I read your in your other post last two days and give it a try and yay!! it works :banana: ) but still I can't go beyond 495, the time at windows loading screen (the one show the Microsoft logos and loading indicator) it will reboot again and again and again :slapass:

btw I'm using DS3, damn this board is good comes with cheap price and solid performance :clap: and still using BIOS F3 not yet upgraded to F4c

Thnx :)

I am polishing my new chipset container already, wait for results on mon/tue next week for some serious chipset cooling :D

I have 4x512, will try that later and yes corsair D9 RAM booted no problems with stock F1 bios

thermaltake extreme spirit II :)

Is this with reatil chip? If so what stepping?

Hi,

Kiwi, could you take a pic / say what other options you can pick on "System Memory Multiplier"?

Thanks.

/edit: saw manual on gigabyte site. nice clocks kiwi!

Damn, how do you get those memory timings in your bios? Its not in my bios. (F4a bios)

crtl+F1 in the BIOS main screen :D

Allendales are the best bang for buck evar! :clap:

btw,
When capturing bios screens you'll get better images if you shoot from ~1.5m distance and use zoom. The images will be much less barrelized.
But of course, it's the contents of these pics that are the point not the image quality.

And always shoot CRT/LCD without flash.
Sorry for the rant.

Look at the picture it says Stepping 6 Revision B2 :fact:

my E6600 is 3.4ghz stable so far tested prime 1 hour seems ok, anything more seems to make prime crap out, also need alot of volts to get it to 3.6ghz

400fsb would have been great for my but my cpu doesnt seem to handle it

nice job kiwi :clap:

why 105 as pci-e frequency ? did you try 100 or auto ? any difference for the oc ?

thanks :toast:

Great job!

105 just to make sure nothing is messing up by auto settings. I don't like auto, I will setup memory subtimings as well to something other than auto

Haha.. Well thanks!
Heard something bout Conroes clocking bader than ES-editions, bur it doesn't seem to be the case with Allendales, if there is a problem with retails and clocking at all..
