Anyone else have any input on the straps and/or fsb trouble ranges?
I just got the chip in last nigh. Popped it in and it's currently going at 2.8 (350x8) @ 1.35v. Tried 360 with vcore up to 1.375, but it wasn't happy about that. Also tried 410 x 7 and it wasn't happy with that either. Didn't want to push voltage too much, as at 2.8 and 1.35v it's already at about 63° with the mini typhoon on load.
Should I wait for the AS5 to settle a bit before I try to push it any further?
Here's the stepping info on the cover too. Very interesting!!!:::

I didn't think to snap a pic before i threw it in there. Would I be correct in assuming that's an engineering sample?
NIN, yes that's ES. And did you get that from stalliontek? I'm in the process of talking to intel about it
Ziddey, I did get it from stalliontek as an oem processor. Did you get an ES from them also? Is that the one listed in your sig?
no it's not the one listed in my sig, that was my last e6400. I have yet to test my stalliontek es (just got it this morning). I read up on reseller ratings after I placed my order and saw a ton of people were getting ES. Plus on [H] one other guy just reported getting ES. Definitely not legal procedure of them to be doing

My ASUS P5W DH didn't let me run high ram speed and high CPU/FSB at the same time.
This DS3 is _amazing_. $100 on newegg, DDR900, 3.6 GHz, and orthos blend is running like a champ. Less than half the price of the ASUS, and I'm priming at speeds I couldn't even boot into windows with before..
I have just one stupid question.. It has a vdimm overvoltage option, but no core vdimm voltage option. My RAM is specced for 2.2-2.3.. is this anywhere in the SPD/does the board read this and apply 2.2v, so my +0.1v makes it 2.3, or is it using some arbitrary number like 1.9? I'd like to see what I'm adding onto.
no spd is programmed by jedec 1.8v. Also, you can use speedfan (may need new beta possibly) to look at vcore2, which is actually vdimm. I've found that depending on the ds3, there can be variations of 0.1v off what is set (I had a rev2 that set 0.1v higher than what you select, and also a rev1 that sets 0.1v lower)
Ok, so if I add +0.4v, I am getting 2.2v? And for the MCH/FSB, what are their default voltages? It says add +0.1, 0.2, etc, but add this onto what?
Thanks.
Also, is there a way to get a reading on the northbridge chipset in windows or linux?
I see what you mean. :)Quote:
lso, you can use speedfan (may need new beta possibly) to look at vcore2, which is actually vdimm.
There's temp1, temp2, temp3, and HD temp. Temp3 is consistently -2c. My radiator is in the window, but it's 54F out, doesn't explain this.. should I ignore that?
Oh, one more thing I think should be mentioned, just since it hasn't been in the whole thread.
Many core 2 duo boards won't work with the Swiftech MCW30 waterblock, but if you use the AMD mounting assembly, this board works with that block just fine. No modding, no torque from the tubing pulling the block off, it's perfect, and cheap.
Temp3 is bogus as far as anyone can tell. Maybe fiddling with the setting to like diode or something might show something different, but I never tried. Temp2 I believe is cpu and temp1 somewhere on the motherboard (don't believe it's nb).
Is that what you're talking to Intel about? Any word from them at all?Quote:

It's covered for 90 days through stallion supposedly although they're out of stock of everything and I doubt dealing with them would ever be pleasant.
But in the email I did receive from intel, there doesn't seem to be any intention of seizing the ES I have. They did suggest that I return it to the reseller and ask for a regular version. Also, they did ask for the information about the reseller, but I figure it's not worth me mouthing off anyway. I'm sure there are intel people reading these forums and not allowed to post because of job conditions (like BillA etc), and if they really wanted to do something about it, they could.
what kind of clocks are you getting out of it?
now this is just plain odd, I just flashed to the F10 bios and configured the Intel SATA to 'native' and 'ACHI'
upon booting to windows (my boot drive is on the jmicron) windows wanted a new driver for an 'unknown PCI' device
the device manager listed only the jmicron controller, no intel HD controllers of any kind... so the unknown PCI device had to be the ACHI SATA controller... problem is there is no such goddamn thing as an ICH8 ACHI Driver. I tried feeding it the Intel Matrix drivers, no go, they said there was no supported hardware. I tried using the F6 install floppy drivers, no go.
Intel lists the ICH8 as not supporting ACHI but plain as day the f10 bios supports it on the INTEL controller as well as the jmicron now. Even the boot screen now has a new INTEL ACHI bios detection screen.
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!

Yeah I know right. It's definitely weird as all hell, but incredibly cool at the same time. Maybe I'll look into what I can determine tomorrow, although I'm not particularly keen on fiddling with bios settings again since my current ds3 is particularly tempermental. Hopefully someone will experiment and figure something out. Definitely really really coolQuote:

Anything much higher than 350 and it would fail orthos in a matter of seconds and if I pushed the voltage much more it would start to load about 65° C.
Which retailers are shipping out revision 2.0 boards in the USA? Also, does the DS3 have X-fi sound crackling issues?
I haven't checked newegg today but last I saw, they were out of stock with eta of today. Also, I ordered my ds3 last December and got a rev2
edit: xfi crackling I think is similar to live/audigy, and due to pci latency settings. There is a xfi dropout issue with earlier bioses that resulted in the sound card disappearing sometimes
I have an Audigy 2 and on my Biostar P965, I had terrible crackling problems before the board died. I need a board to replace it, and would like my sound to work properly :)Quote:

The options to increase FSB and northbridge voltage, I have them on +0.2v.
Does that mean the NB is 1.4 and the MCH is 1.75? What are the base voltages I am adding onto with these settings, I'm confused.
Anyone know the settings for speedfan to get proper fan readings? I've tried a few dividers but am not sure if that's the way to go about it or not
edit: also anyone know what temp1 is? Is it ich8? I know it's not nb, so just curious if ich8 has a sensor or if theres a sensor somewhere on the board
Ive got a small problem on my friends rig, OCing is fine but doing a warm boot resets the bios settings... how do i prevent this from happening ?

Hey all,
When I set +.5 in the BIOS (which is supposedly 2.3v) it's read as 2.18 in SpeedFan. Has this issue been addressed already? I've watched this thread pretty carefully but I could have missed something. :)
Also, I don't have a multimeter right now, but I can and certainly will get one. Until then, where do you measure VDIMM from on this board?
Thanks in advance!
TSFroggy, My rev1 board did this as well. My rev2 board does the opposite, setting 0.1v higher than what I choose.
Just do the vdimm mod with pencil to get what you want, and it's all good. I tend to like 2.0v as the baseline. Then, +0.2v is all I really need for day to day use.
Thanks ziddey! I really just need to make sure that the reading is accurate. After reading Tony's warning about pumping volts into DDR2, I don't need to end up with two fried sticks of $400 memory. :)Quote:

Ziddey are you using the Buffalo Firestix? Saw your review on newegg of them lol.
There's no way elipda chips will run 3-3-3-9 @ 800mhz or 4-4-4-12 @ 1000mhz..
Yeah, mine won't anymore though. I don't know what happened
I can tell you what happened. You used them in a DS3/S3... The board has killed two of my sticks already running stock voltage... (elipda sticks..)
does the dq6 also overvolt memory?
one more question.
i notice the dq6 has an extra 4 pin molex power connector on it. why and when would you need to utilize it?
I am confused about something. There are options to add onto the MCH, and FSB voltage. Yet neither the manual or the BIOS state the stock voltage.
When I set it to do +0.2v to the MCH, what am I setting? Is that 1.75v? 1.45v?
Your best bet would be to get out a DMM and measure it yourself. Stock specced by intel is technically 1.2v. However, with the settings on my ds3, it's all over the place, and I've seen 1.8v even.
as nub as it sounds, all I can measure on the thing is the 12v rail and 5v rail. I have no idea where to start looking for the northbridge voltage. :(
If you look at your board with the slots at the south and the cpu up north. Look under the x16 slot.
http://sg.vr-zone.com/print.php?i=3870 there has pictures for a rev1 board. For rev2, the configuration is changed a bit, but you can still find the point to read. It's basically, the middle leg of the mosfet on the right (there'll be two next to eachother. rev1 has them 90 degrees, rev1 they're the same I believe). Measure the middle leg (snipped one) to ground. Careful not to short to a neighboring leg, or it'll spark and clear out your date/time
Hello Guys,Quote:
after changing to anything from Auto the system resets in POST before mem testing.
Cannot change fsb because system resets as above.
Any update on this recently? I got an S3 with a Leadtek 7950GT, and I can't overclock as long as I use the DVI output of the card. I'm frustrated, because with a DSUB adapter it works, but I don't wanna sacrifice display quality for this motherboard to work normally. Do we know that is that a problem of only Gigabyte mobos or the 965 chipset? If I have to replace anything because of this issue then it will be the motherboard, not the VGA...
I'm using the latest BIOS of F8, but tried several earlier versions with no luck...
Thanks for your answer.

That's weird. have you tried raising pcie to 105 or 110? or maybe bump vpcie a notchQuote:

Hi, http://forum.sunflowers.de/images/smilies/halloha.gif
I'm having a warmboot problem here. After Windows shutdown all I get is black screen. All the fans are active, HD's are buzzing but nothing else seems to happen. After I unplug the power cord and let it 'cool down' for a while it boots ups normally. I'm orthos stable for hours and when I get Windows up and running it works like a charm. Any ideas?

K So these are his specs.
We built the thing, had some issues with the silly front panel connectors, but resolved that and it booted. In his eagerness to OC, he didnt install an Os , but instead upon booting when into the bios and Ctrl F1's. To the MIT . He disabled the proper sets, and then went to do a mild over clock, i think fsb at 355mhz, ram timings 5-5-5-15, ram voltage 2.1, mch +0.2, timings 2.0 set. And the proc, i think 1.45v; Basically a simple setup to start with. So he rebooted after the settings then, for some reason his dvd drive door wouldnt open, but the light was on, so we rebooted again. And then it got stuck into this permanent pulse. The fans spin, and the blue led's in the P/S pulse but bios wont even boot up. So... we started from the bottom, disconnecting one periph at a time, changing the cable arrangements, bootingwithout a vid card, jumping the bios, removing the battery for a minute, jumping the bios again, the only thing i cant do, because we dont have any 240pin ram lying around is change the ram.. but i dont think the ocz, comes stock at 2.0v... correct me if i m wrong. But i cant try booting with different ram atm. So aside that any suggestions as to what the problem could be, i ve checked every power connection etc.. they are all fine. I know he should have installed vista (its a gaming rig, and he wanted dx10) and @bios'd it first before overclocking, but ive made the same mistake before on a ds3 with no problems, and if i did, it would just restart 2 or 3 times and the dual bios would kikc in... so i m not sure what to do now.. does this mean both bios are somehow corrupted?
Hey guys, i have a question about Easy Tune 5 for DS 3 (ihave original rev. 1) Anyway My cpu can do 3.4 only with 1.57. Now i only need 3.4 for FSX where those 400mhz really really help. I play that once/week. The rest of the time i'd like my system to be at 3000mhz which is stable at 1.34 My comp is 24/7 so i need it to be at lower clock 95% of the time. So the real pain in the butt is to switch clocks between. Takes forever to manually do it in easytune 5. I wish there was a save button to save different settings so you could load them/apply. is there such thing and im just missing it? Is it possible to use any other program out there to adjust FSB/Voltage of CPU?
really need this as i've been doing it for past 5 months about and its really getting to me.. So annoying. Wish i had a better chip that would overclock with low vcore. But i got a chip that needs a high vcore + it doesn't go over 3.4 even with 1.6 vcore. I have good water cooling.
Thank you in advance.
I can't say for et5 but there is a special setfsb released for the ds3. You can use that to switch fsb's real easily, and iirc even setup shortcuts to pass flags to do it push button style. It can't do vcore though
Easy to do. Press F12 (i think..) in the bios to load the different profiles ;)Quote:

Thank you mate. Appriciate your help. I like SetFSB. its saving me about 50 mouse left clicks :) And then i still have to lower the vcore via ET5 :( Why can't they make profiles in that program, that has to be the easiest thing to do .
K trying lower volt ram, per the instructions on first page, but failing that... any ideas of how i can reset the bios?
Feels like its not switching over, just stuck in a perma reset.
Yeah, with the annoyingly-placed BIOS reset jumper under your video card.
I'm curious, where did you see 1.8? 1.8 when set to +0.3, or 1.8 when +0.1, or stock?Quote:

Haven't read all of this thread - yet but thought I'd add that the drivers on the CD and on the Gigabyte website for the Marvell Yukon NIC don't work for my DS3P, had to download the latest drivers direct from the Marvell site to get the NIC drivers installed and loaded for my DS3P rev2.0.
I just acquired an E6300, 1 GB of some nice cheap G.Skill, and a DS3 rev. 3.3
Within 20 minutes (15 of which were wasted before I realized the auto setting for the memory speed kept trying to run it way past spec) I now have it at 2.8GHz. I'm about to go run prime for stability. Any thoughts?
(details in sig)

//EDIT: I just realized it says "Conroe" under code name... I thought most E6300s being shipped now were Allendales? Or am I mistaken?

thanks!
I noticed there is a bug with this board if the power button is set to soft-off right away in the bios. I changed it to standby and softoff > 4 seconds and now the bugs have disappeared.
I've changed the power button setting from "instant off" to "delay 4 sec" but the computer still doesn't shutdown as it should... :(
EDIT: Problem solved
The AHCI mode seems to be the culprit here. You can't simply turn it off after you've installed Vista so I tried updating both Vista AHCI drivers automatically. One of them switched to native IDE and now it works fine.
Hi , guys please help me !
I bought a new components ;
1- Gigabyte ds3P rev 3.3
2- E6420
3- 2x1gb geil ddr 800 ultra series
Everything is fine till 8x400 = 3200 mhz default vcore and 4-4-4-12 ,2T 2.1 v dimm .... but I can't go higher :( .. I'm using latest bios of DS3P>> F5 .. Can you give me a little tricks of this boards .. My target is 3400 ~ 3500 mhz .. please help ..
Thanks a lot .
I am also having the same problem with warm boots, and have also tried the +1 MCH as well as both 105 and 110 PCI-E frequency, as well as various higher and lower voltages, and it doesn't help at all, the problem persists completely.
What is happening is that the VGA goes away. The system comes back up and runs fine, just no VGA. I find that if I hard power cycle it, along with power cycle the monitor, it comes back pretty much right away.
The interesting part is that it only happens after I have run one of the HW monitors, such as SpeedFan or CPU-Z or PC Wizard. It also happens whether or not I have overclocked or not. Also, trying to run CoreTemp causes the system to crash and reboot instantly.
My setup is:
E4300
DS3 (1.3 I believe), F10 BIOS
6600 GT Dual-DVI Nvidia
2GB Kingston 667 RAM
Cooler Master case, 120mm input fan, 120mm output fan, 120mm PS output fan, 92mm fan on my Rosewill Z775 heatpipe heatsink blowing through the HS and into the 120mm output fan.
The cool thing (literally ;) ) is that I can OC this sucker straight to 334Mhz bus x9 multiplier giving 3.004 Ghz, using 1.34375 core voltage, and according to Speedfan and PC Wizard, it runs idle at:
Temp1: 33C
Temp2: 23C
HD0: 31C
Core 0: 25C
Core 1: 25C
and running Orthos for 5+ hours, the highest I saw it at was:
Temp1: 34C
Temp2: 48C
HD0: 32C
Core 0: 48C
Core 1: 48C
So, didn't get too hot at all. Used Arctic Silver BTW.
Any other thoughts on the warmboot issue? I can't be the only one having this problem... ;)

I'm open for ideas and suggestions.
My first post here, although I've been around on ocau a long time. Made the switch from AMD to Intel c2duo and so far enjoying it.
Gigabyte DS3 - F11a bios
e6320 - 3.6ghz (515 x 7 ) @ 1.5v
2GB Kingston DDR800 @ 2.2v
8800gts 640mb
Been a fairly painless process to get a great overclock on this chip, thermalright ultra 120 extreme probably helps.
I can't seem to squeeze anymore out of the FSB for this board. MCH is at +0.3v with Noctura nb heatsink which is warm to touch but not burn finger temp to touch like the stock nb heatsink. 515 FSB is rock solid, been Orthos's for days and memtest'd. I can push it to 535 and benchmark but it will usually become unstable after ~30minutes.
If I set the multiplier to 6x I still cannot get more FSB so I feel it's a limitation of the board. Looking around seems 510-520 is top for these boards.
Assuming the ram can handle it, I am going to attempt the MCH +volt mod from vr-systems. Anyone here done this sucessfully? Temps from coretemp never rise over ~48 so I have a little headroom as far as core voltage goes if I need it. http://sg.vr-zone.com/print.php?i=3870
p.s I too got that noise from the components on the motherboard, I believe it is just the cheapness of the components. A quick spray with WD40 and my noise almost went away entirely have to strain to hear it now.
Yea I have my board vdimm and vmch modded. With stock heatsink and a 80mm fan on top it will do 1.74V but you can't go over that because of the OCP. The board will not boot above 1.74V-1.75V.Quote:

Corsair TWIN2X 6400, 2048MB CL5
---------------------------------------
My mems are to run at 5-5-5-12 by the specs, but bios changes them to 5-5-5-18 is this normal or should I change these manually?
My southbridge gets very hot, cant hold my finger on it's heatsink for very long, is this normal?
Which are the optimal settings in bios for functionallity and clocking?
Wrong thread. This is the thread about the 965 based chipset boards!Quote:

This issue is often mistaken with the issue below. Be sure to read this explanation.
Symptoms of no o/clocking at all (may be one, may be all):
Cannot change PCIe bus speed, after changing to anything from Auto the system resets in POST before mem testing.
Cannot change fsb because system resets as above.
Changing any V in BIOS doesn't make any difference in o/c.
Changing timing in BIOS doesn't make any difference in o/c
Changing in my mind means ex. 267fsb (stock 266), 265fsb and so on. These are slightly (and more significant) changes which cannot be done. This is not a problem of >450fsb or sth. This is a problem of no o/c at all!
This is not a problem of a fsbwall – this is not for you if you have already overclocked even a 1Mhz!
[A] There are several possible causes of this problem:
ONE - BIOS:
look below at disabling the Legacy USB storage detect option in BIOS and UPGRADE your BIOS.
TWO - VGA:
Your VGA card is probably making MB not to overclock. Try buying some crappy PCI /not PCIe/ VGA 1MB card (or 2, 4 MBs ) and putting it in, booting with only PCI VGA. It worked for me, I could overclock and when I finished I put my 7600GS inside. Everything is working quite ok If not, just try another video card but a different model.
THREE - RAM:
This is the least well known issue today. I guess... replace ram and see if it helps o/clocking... If so... just buy new sticks ;/ Sorry
well, lets see built a pc for my cousin 6 mths ago consisting of the following,
Gigabyte 965 DS3P, E4400 L2, Radeon 1950 pro, 2x1Gb OCZ System Elite 5-5-5-15, WD 320gb, Seasonic 550w, Pioneer DVD, Antec P180, XP pro Sp2
It has been running fine @2.7Ghz for last 2 months...but certain programs and such he had loaded had slowed the rig right down, put it this way, when i used it yesterday I was almost ready to re-install ...thats how bad it was to use!
So, 1st I updated latest 965 drivers from Gigabytes website, then using live update function I updated to latest beta bios.. F130 ..to easy :up:
Now the fun started ...lets try for 3Ghz O/C ...well that was easy, 375x8, this thing was flying.... yea until i rebooted :down:
It now would only hold a 10Mhz increase in FSB, anything more and it would default back to stock.
The reading researching began, every forum I could find, seems this board has had some big issues with not holding O/C
Tried everything mentioned in this thread exept for the replacement Video Card ....to no avail.
It wasnt until I updated the ATI display drivers that I could actually increase the FSB past my 10Mhz limit.
The only other thing that I have found to work is using the 4:5 Ram ratio (2.5 in bios), and definetly NOT using the 1:1 (2 in bios)
If it werent for cpu load temps with stock cooler hitting 85 deg C :rofl: ..It can run 10x320 3.2Ghz no problem ..maybe more i didn't bother trying to add more V .
Nth bridge, FSB, and such voltages have all been set to +1
PCI-E speed set to Auto
All EIST are set to enabled.
Legacy USB storage detect option is disabled, but i dont think that matters at all.
About 6hrs later I'm using USB mouse as i type this post ...so that obviously dont matter :rolleyes:
So there u have it, If ur stuck with a FSB wall at stock ...try the RAM ratio 2.5 setting :cool:
edit: browsing here late last night found Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors
Seems dual priming this rig @3Ghz (1.375V in bios / 1.312v in cpuz after v-droop) i'm stable @60deg C :)
I have ordered an e7200 because i was sure it will work on my ds3 rev1, fsb 1066mhz.
The cpu arrives tomorrow and now I am not sure if it will work, because gigabytes site says "N/A" in the support list, anyone have tried if this combo works? Or have seen someone elses combo liek this that worked?
