Hope F8i will help you :) I dont know about vdrop mod, but Im not using any mods for my board, but if there is hard mod to incrase FSB limit more than 490FSB or 500 then tell what I must do :toast:Quote:

thanks aldamon!
ill try it and see if it can solve my vdroop issue.. i dont have conductive ink so ill probably used pencil instead.
Hmm, is there more information about that resistor on the board what is needed to change for more FSB? It looks like beta BIOS is working ok, 480 - 490FSB for me, now need to mod the board to get 525FSB :DQuote:

Hey, I may be blind, because I can't find the "Hardware Memory hole remapping" option in the DS3 F6 bios?!
I need it so the XP recognizes the full 4GB, only seeing 3.5GB now.
Yada yada, why should all you cheap gits who bought the cheap a** DS3 get serviced before us PREMIUM DQ6 folks?
Gigabyte should be focusing on those who pony up top Dollar for top boards.
Installed the Tuniq Tower in the DQ6. Had to remove crazy cool, which is very easy to do. Tower fit fine and temps dropped drastically. Looks like my Freezer Pro 7 was limiting my maximum overclock.
Ok, well max stable with the F7 Bios is 8x476 resulting in 3.808 clockspeed...Unfortunatly, it requires 1.625 volts in bios. Not sure how much droop their is @ this speed. What's a good program I can use to measure my actual vcore?
Any volt mods on the MCH and FSB?
Voltage seems very high for 3.8GHz, i run 3.4Ghz with 1.4V, though i suspect 3.5 needs 1.450V and god knows for 3.6.
this isn't an officially released bios.Quote:

Here's what I got:

Orthos says the hardware failure is in the stress.txt file. I can't find the file. My guess it's the memory but how do find the correct settings?
Because us "cheap asses" are in the majority.Quote:

The previous problem seems to be caused by my voltage selection. My max load cpu temps was 57°C so I'll have to keep an eye on it.
Now the question is should I try for 510?
+.2 on the fsb, and +.3 on the mch, +.5 on the ram, then 1.625 vcore...Quote:

Hmm, looks like there is some problems with F8i BIOS, I cant add more voltage than +0.4v, if I add +0.5v, +0.6 or +0.7v, I cant boot into windows, it freez on startup :( Is this known bug or its problem just for me? My memory is cooled with 120mm fan!
I was able to test SuperPi 32M @ 492 x 7 with Teamgroup D9GMH @ 2.2v 4-4-4-12, still testing, but when with same settings I add more voltage to DDR2, system is not stable, cant even boot. And system is not stable for Orthos, just SuperPi 32M, I will replace stock cooling later and add more voltage to CPU to get it stable... I am testing how far this board can go now with F8i, but maybe my memory need more voltage to work with 4-4-4 but I cant add it - its not booting correctly :slap:
Hm, this new beta BIOS is better. Got my S3 mobo flashed with the 965pds3.f8i. I'm now able to post, boot and bench at 7x500 1:1 timing@4 4 3 9.
Don't think it's Orthos stable though.
Using an E6600 Core 2 Duo & Crucial DDR2 Tenth Anniversary PC5300 2048MB Kit memory.
About the new Vdimm ( +0.7V ), I not too sure 2.5V is available, I think Gigabyte just have relabeled the Vdimm voltages, ( 0ld 2.2 Vdimm = New 2.3 Vdimm in reality ).
:)
On F7 it was stable at 288 fsb / 4ghz on normal voltage. Now sometimes it will post and sometimes it wont. Tried increasing voltages and setting to 300 also tried memory at 2.3v which is pretty normal for this memory. System wont even post. Goes into that bios reset loop...off..on...off...on..still wouldnt post after power off. I was starting to think I was going to have to use the cmose reset for the very first time ever. Had to let it go through the bios reset cycle 3 times before it worked and posted at stock speeds.
Needless to say I flashed F7 back onto it and all is well.
Could you give us the voltages that you used in the M.I.T. screen to reach 510FSB? Did you use Auto or Manual to set the voltages?Quote:

My Team D9 memory is listed as 2.0 ~ 2.2V. How does this compare to the D9 memory that you used?
I noticed that you used a lower multiplier. Is that the secret to reaching 510FSB?
Were there any other changes that needed to be made to reach 510FSB?
Better tell Gigabyte because non of us can help, bit of a pointless post as I doubt if Gigabyte read these threads.Quote:

But for basically the same clocks, I'd rather be running at cas 4.....
btw: Crucial 10th anniv memory (D9GMH) on a week 24 6600.
update: now @ 440*8, cas 4 under F7. With F8i, wouldn't let me go over 400 at cas 4.

An S3 with 965pds3.f8i BIOS, (G)MCH OverVoltage Control +0.1V, FSB OverVoltage Control +0.1V, Vdimm=2.30V, Vcore=1.425V, Thermaltake Big Typhoon Cooler.
Should I dump this board for a better one? :confused:
You don't need to hit those crazy 500+FSB. The people that are trying to hit it are insane overclockers, and many are using 6x multiplier just to see if the motherboard will do that high. And then some are limited to only a 7x multiplier b/c they bought the cheapo 6300. Now if you had a vapochill hooked up and your chip could go 4Ghz, then that would be a different story, but you'll probably be limited to about 3.4Ghz on air, if you're lucky.Quote:

This is what I'd suggest using:
DIMM OverVoltage Control....... +.3
PCI-E OverVoltage Control.......[Normal]
(G)MCH OverVoltage Control.... +.1
FSB OverVoltage Control.......... +.1
CPU Voltage Control................ 1.400
For me I tried overvolting the MCH & FSB to +.2, +.3, etc. and got the same max FSB results at +.1. (6x473Mhz)
I can boot at 473FSB or get that high with SetFSB. Any attempt at 474 hard locks the system. My ram will hit 1Ghz with the 3x ratio at 333FSB.
