ok i just played with this board at my friends house to test my ram.
(keep in mind ive been abit and love their GURU software)
1) ram dividers are wierd........... they are multipliers WTF?
2)the windows overclocking utility is kinda cool i guess
but u can see ur temps while u overclock.
3)u have to update bios through bios and a floppy
i have a question
is it even possible to set timings in bios?
why isnt my ram details showed in cpu-z?
if it is dualprime stable for at least 6hrs i think it should be safe to run 24/7.. ur voltage is good :D
Press ctrl+F1 to get the extra memory options in the BIOSQuote:

only getting about 1.55v idle, and 1.48v during full load
is this good/bad temp?? will i be able to OC E6400 a lot?? i am planning on giving it lots of voltage LOL
and temp is like 37c idle/54c load
Hi, i still have been fighting with my DS3, i dont know what it is.
More: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=109144
last thing i must check i think is RAM (thanks Silves) - maybe it will help ...
tomorow 6300 retail will be in da house :D
at 4GHz the tmep magically lower 5c
http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/5451/shot0006mz9.jpg
i hope i can OC E6400 a lot. i am planning on giving it lots of voltage
it's possible to send me the bios F3a ? PM me :D
thank you all
my E6400 with Ds3 can run 3Ghz@ Vcore default (1.31v) , but my ram suks with this chip7 dont know why , in asus p5WD2 premium they run 410Mhz CL4-4-4-12 but with DS3 i cant run more than 375/380 :
E6400@3Ghz @ 1.31v & Gigabyte DS3 & Gskill PC 4200 DDR2-533mhz@ 736Mhz
http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/561/3000ub4.jpg
E6400@ 3ghz & Gskill 4200@ DDR2-736Mhz CL4-4-4-12
http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/8459/everestss4.jpg
I need a better RAM :(
I have Watercooling , temps are :
IDLE >>> 17/18c
FUL >>> 23/24c
CHIP7 with 50mm FAN >> 33/34c
regards
yeah OC it higher ... more vcore, mch
E6400@2940Mhz // X1800XT @ 700/800

11mb/s Everest, not getting close to that in the same speed with my P5W DH Deluxe for sure!
i think that G.Skill problems are related to CPUs with 200MHz FSB where RAM works 1:2 and for some reason gigabyte boards are seeing them as CAS3 at DDR800....which makes them not runQuote:

I was wondering if I could fit one of these: Jing Ting Forcetake JTS-0006 Chipset Cooler on the Northbridge if I had a Zalman CNPS9500 heatsink on the CPU.
Is it worth going with some heavy duty NB cooling though? Would prefer doing this over slapping a fan over existing heatsink (bit ugly).
in the shot it was stock vcore........BUT for my system stock CPU vcore is 1.28v and drops to 1.264v under loadQuote:

you guys with DS3 have the EIST and C1 Disable ????
i cant past 380 FSB with this Gskill LA PC 4200 and DS3 , and dont know if its the ram or the Board cause there isnt dividirs under 1:1 , but this gskill with my older 920d and asus P5WD2 premium (955x) can run 405/410Mhz Cl4-4-4-12 :( .

i didn't have C1 disabled...........EIST yes but i still get 6xmulti during idle :confused:Quote:

4200! and he is overclocking it to ALMOST DDR800
so why would you or anyone else think that the system doesnt like the gskill ram.,
brother if you got PC4200 up to DDR800 thats kickin some arse wow.. seriously thats a high overclock on that ram.
pc4200 is only 256mhz i believe. and ddr800 as we know is 400mhz.
thats 144mhz overclock on very low DDRII
I disabled C1 and EIST and have no problems :)Quote:

But in asus P5WD2 premium and 920D i can run DDR-800 Cl4-4-4-12 @2.0v with no problems , maybe its Chip7 965.
if the gigabyte DS3 had ram dividers under 1:1 i could see if it is the Ram or the Board .

well you are running way out of spec on that RAM. DDR533 is only 266fsbQuote:

yes i think this EIST makes my oc unstable. when i oc to @ 450x7 @ 1.375vcore, it was stable. but when it automatically dropped to 450x6 @ 1.1xx vcore, my windows was hanged.
btw thx kiwi for the link :)
What are the requirements for Kentsfield? I thought all 965 boards would support quad core, but this page says DS3 wont support it?
http://www.maxitmag.com/testing-bay/...oard-review/2/
Does DQ6 and DS4 have '3 phase' power? How comes Kentsfield needs that but C2D not? :SQuote:
Only 3 Phase power may mean Kentsfield wont be supported
yea im worried as well. i dont like buying boards that dont support the future cpu's of the socket. because 1)lose value2)i have to upgrade
because i bought an abit ax8 s939 motherboard. worked great until dual core came out and because it was a VIA chipset i couldnt buy a dual core. and i had to sell the board for like 35 bucks since everyone wanted nf4 chipsets.
celerity,
DQ6 is 12 phase, no idead about the DS4 though.
But didn't coolaler manage to run Kentsfield on a DS3? Or am I mixing it with another board...?
How do you find out if a board uses 12 or 3 phase power? I looked in the DS3, DS4 and DQ6 manual but I didn't find anything.
DS4 is 6 phase
It means it got no Kentsfield support? Does it have to be 12 phase to support Kentsfield?
i hope my dS4 will support Kentsfield, either with official bios or beta bios. i dont care as long as i can use it :D
so DS3 for sure no kentfield?
Relax guys:Quote:

Hi all
My DS3 is live :) ive found the problem (ds3 didnt boot) : it was new RAM modules - GoodRam 667 1GB - with another modules (noname - JetRam ???) its working fine.
Could you tell me with witch modules yours DS3 wouldnt boot ? ive been searching something to replace this Goodrams (ive gave it to my friend and it OK, modules are good)
PS GoodRam PRO DDR2 800 i heard working fine with DS3
thanks
it is posible to set FSB:DRAM smaller than 1:1 ?? i cant see that

2x512 (not mine :) )
vDIMM - 2.4
yes its CAS 3 :D
Anybody here who`s got a conroe e6400 OEM on this board running ?

Quick question:
Does anyone have any idea where the Mosfets and PLLs are on this board?
nice, what is his max fsb of his ds3 ? And if you select a 1 : 2 devider, what is your max fsb than ?Quote:

Can you guys share pics of how you have the BIOS set up? Either I have the crappiest E6300 on the planet or I'm doing something horribly wrong in the DS3 BIOS.
yes this CAS auto to 3 thing is driving me nuts ... try set PCI-E to 100 no use, 105 no use
CPU-Z keeps saying my multiplier is 6 when it is actually 8???
And when i change anything in the bios (F3) it loses my hard drive???
it's because of EISTQuote:

I just mounted everything up, flashed BIOS to F3 and boot 400fsb. Stable!

I tested the memory and does 310x3 (930mhz) so correct me but does 465x2.
After this

And I hit a wall at 410. Cant boot with nothing beyond 410. Ain't it strange that does 400 in default and with +1 and +.05vcore reaches a wall 10 mhz up? Any ideias?
Depends how are you cooling NB. Add fan and increase volts to +0.3
can people start including their system temps from easy tune in the screenshots?

Guys, something just occurred to me at work, which means I can't check it out, but is it possible SATA is holding back my overclock? I'm stuck at a pathetic 300 x 7 on my E6300!
I think I might have messed up by using the ICH8 jacks instead of the two Gigabyte SATA2 connectors on the left. Now I have to wait 5 hours to see. Grrrrr.
What's the difference? I used the orange ICH8 jacks too, but i didn't know what was different.Quote:

I'm guessing the ICH8 jacks could cause problems if they're not locked properly. I don't see anywhere in the BIOS to lock the SATA frequency. I'm going to experiment later.Quote:

Unplug your USB devices and see if you can overclock higher.
Don't wanna start another thread atm, got e6300 today, 7x495 was easy with only +0.1 vmch and slight vcore bump. 500fsb is a no go but will find out what is holding it back
I also have dice container for chipset prepared.

Holy crap that guy went from 290fsb to 510 just by unplugging USB devices? WTF. I'm at work until 6pm PST and i'll try this. Even so that is a crappy solution because i don't even have a ps2 mouse i can use.Quote:

All USB devices were unplugged, including the extra header on the motherboard. Also, please note that he dropped down to 512MB of RAM to hit 500+.Quote:

why are they setting PCI-E buss speed to 101?
what is conroe safe temperature? 70C ? it isnt to much ?
DS3 i think telling true temps
The highest I've seen on mine is around 49 C under full load, at 2.8 GHz (E6300).
GA-965P-DS3 F3 BIOS, E6300 OEM (TigerDirect) Stepping 6, OCZ EL Gold 2x1 GB 5-5-5-15 2.0 volts 800 MHz
All stock voltages (except ram, but thats specced at 2.0 volts):

thanks!
on box cooling, and 3.2ghz i have max 64C on full load. tomorow i again i will by "on water" ;) so temp will be better :) (im waiting for new tube of arctic silver 5)

But strange thing I have fsb wall at 497fsb no matter what multi/vmch/vfsb/vdimm or ram timings (corsair UL) I can hit that with only +.1V vmch but +.3 won't help.
I have dice container for chipset and in a few days I will see if it helps a lot or not. Anyway I think I need to mod vmch :)
a better cooling than stock HS help me to get a few mhz more,dice will be funny and 510 mhz is a easy go for you
can you check the real vmch?
i always run by 0.3v and i don`t rememebr what i got with only 0.1v ,
i will give a try and i will be back later with numbers

How long do folks prime for, on average?...i usually leave it six hours and run SuperPi as well.
I run dual-Prime with large FFTs for at least 8 hours. I wish OCCT were dual-core friendly. I prefer using it over Prime. It finds errors in a fraction of the time :(
