Well the F7 DQ6 bios did improve my OC just a tiny bit... can now do 450*7 (before was 440*7) Sadly my CPU wont do 3200+MHz stable under any circumstances.

Got my parts today, install went fine and dandy of DS3. I prob won't get to overclock it till this weekend though. But still get a 4.9 score vs my old 3.2 in Vista :D
edit: Where can I download the windows bios flash utility? I can't run it from CD that came with mobo cause vista problem with the setup.exe they use. hehe
Where I can find and download Windows Vista SIV tool?Quote:

The @bios utility works fine in windows vista, just flashed with it.
One thing that annoys me about board is not enough fan headers on it. My "old" Enermax whisper PS has a 3pin header vs 4 pin on board. Im going to have to get a converter to use PS fan. Going to run with case door off till I get more than just CPU/GPU fan on it. :P
Do you guys just leave the CPU fan running full speed in bios, that overclock? Im assuming you do..
Well, I'm trying F7 (DQ6/E6400) and basically failed between 450-500FSB 1:1 8x. Tried RAM at 44412 to 66620, vCore 1.45v-1.55v, vDimm +0.2-0.4. PCI-freq Auto and 100-110.
[edit: mch/fsb tried auto, +0.1 - +0.25v. Also, dual primed using sml/lge ffts (as I usually do)]
Between 460 and 490 I could get to Windows but it'd reboot while loading desktop.
I'm pretty sure I managed to run Dual Prime for a minute or so before it rebooted at 475.
450 was alright for an hour or so dual folding but after about 8mins dual prime (not folding)--auto reboot!
I'm now 15+mins in to dual prime at following [EDIT: Rebooted after 35mins. Windows reported a video driver error. Previously it reported RAM errors.]:
8 x 445 (3550GHz)
4 4 4 12
PCI freq. 100 (iirc, otherwise auto)
vCore 1.45v
vDimm +0.2v (seems better lower I feel)
iirc, everything else normal/auto.
Specs. as per sig. 'Main'
You can connect a 3-pin to the 4-pin motherboard connector. Look in the manual page 20. Notice the key for the pins 1-3. Pin 4 is for speed control. You're correct in that there's only two connectors.Quote:

Does anyone know the sensors to use for CPU temp in motherboard monitor for this DS3? I can't seem to find settings for it..
MBM doesn't work with these boards, unless they put an update out in the last couple of months but I don't think anyone is developing for MBM anymore.
I use Everest instead now. It has heaps more info and also has a configurable OSD (http://www.lavalys.com/)
It rebooted after 35mins 8 x 445 44412 1.45v. Windows reported a video driver error. Previously it has reported RAM errors at 450+. :rolleyes:
Tried 440 with vDimm +0.3. Dual prime failed lge fft instance after 5mins.
[edit: I restarted the lge fft instance of dual prime, it has exceeded its last failure point. If it fails again, I'll try folding for a while and see how it goes (less demanding)]
fyi, temps hit 58c @21c ambient during dual prime @1.45v (1.392-1.41v), so I am not keen to raise voltage anymore as this machine folds 24/7 (temps usually around >5c less than dual-prime, iirc).
"We're probably sounding like a broken record by now, but we wish Gigabyte would solve the Micron D9 issue before the next decade is upon us. We do not have this issue with any of the other manufacturers. Considering their recent partnership with ASUS we think it could be solved quickly with a phone call or maybe a visit. Even without the Micron D9 fix, a budget board that overclocks to the 450 FSB range is still impressive, but we know it has the capability to do more."

WOOT!
leave it up to gary,,,
too bad i dont think it will ever work. ever.....
i truly believe and this is just my own point of view.
that gigabyte, biostar (cuz it hates D9 ram also, the 965PT) and possibly MSI are using Failed 965P NB chipsets.
what i mean is, they can not pass the standards laid down for the 965P high end boards so they are stuck in lower end boards at a cheaper price.
never before have i seen the same chipset used in so many boards and yet only certain models of that chipset are failing.
i know its a longshot but i really believe gigabyte is using failed chipsets,, and pawning them off.
also the fact that there is up to 0.10v droop on the DS when you surpass 1.5v vcore is retarded and unacceptable.
thank god for eVGA,, cough i mean foxconn i mean eVGA cuz i just purchased a 680i earlier today! woot!
Im selling this board to get Abit IN9.. no more Gigabyte for me
Yeah, the 680i is looking pretty sweet. I hope Gigabyte fixes the D9 issues soon or i may have to spend an extra $100..
I manually stopped dual prime after about 3hrs.Quote:

Against my better judgement after the last round of emails from certain members around here (I do have thick skin ;) but when it gets personal then it has gone too far) I will detail out the issue with the DS3 and S3 in properly overclocking Micron D9 tomorrow. After two days of marathon testing with Gigabyte we have found the root cause of the issue and the major reason why the last few beta spins have not worked properly with all D9 modules. Of course a few choice statements today helped move things along. ;)
Got the Asus P5B Deluxe today.
It rocks vs. DS3.
Booting at 520FSB. No problems with my memory either.
Have a "nice" time with your DS3´s. Im out of here.:)
Does anyone else have an X-Fi (non xram) and play BF 2142? I'm having crackling with orbital strike on servers of 45+ and believe it to be either MB or Sound Card related. I tried a swap with xram variant, but only tested lan mp and didn't hear it. It's gotta be related to # of sounds in game as a 45+ will obviously be crazier than a 1 man lan. PCI lat doesn't help at all, 64, 128, 256...all crackle.
I notice this board likes to ride everything on 2 or 3 irq's and am beggining to wonder if that could actually be an issue. The Tuniq will be here tomorrow and I've got another xram to test. If it still goes nuts, I may go Asus 965/975...or the foxconn clone @ fry's...680i anyone?!
With that being said, is it an issue that can be fixed or are we SOL unless we make certain tweaks what will gain us some but not to the real potential? Or is what Lestat says true that we are the victims of the not so good chipsets and the real OCer chipsets went to the high end boards?Quote:

but one must admit that it sure is hell is odd that the DQ6 can run it,, but the DS3 cant ? whats the only difference, ? the SB well we all know the SB has nothing to do with ram,, but ahhhh the NB.. one ould have to remove the NB heatsink and compare numbers to see if there is any rev difference or not.
i believe bingo he has not lead me wrong or purposely mislead me in any way.
if he says he knows how to properly do it, then i will put my faith in him that he can do it.
In case anyone is thinking I sent him an email, I did not. I have only discussed by feeling about this issue with people here on the forum. Just go back and read every post he has made on this forum and you will realize he never really delivers anything. He only posts information that is already public knowledge elsewhere and if you think what anyone says here will affect Gigabyte releasing or not releasing a bios update, you need to get a life.Quote:

As for crackling adjust PCI latency in bios, x-fi is very sensitive to that settings. If that does not work turn off all "turbo" modes on ram if you have it on.
Interesting theory about Gigabyte using failed chipsets, but does the DQ6 suffer the same D9 problem? I'm asking because I doubt Gigabyte would put the same lower binned chipset in their flagship.Quote:
