Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, Pretty good start

My GA-965P-PDS3, always hicks-up when boot-up when o'c.
But when finally boot to Windows, everything runs fine.
Anyone has the same problems ?

wich fsb/mem ratios this bord has ? im thinking what kind of FSB could i get running my mems around 700 mhz

Do you need any slot more? If yes go and buy DQ6 and wait.:(

If your not running Crossfire or SLI is there any need for 2 16x PCI slots? Sorry for the seemingly stupid question, but i haven't upgraded recently and am still on AGP and PCI.

The MSI board (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=107182) got 965 and CF. Maybe the Gigabyte mobos will be able to do that aswell with a BIOS update (just a guess)? However, otherwise I see no point having two PCI-E 16X slots. Physx and other stuff uses the classic PCI.

I think go to SLI or Crossfire is a bit expensive and the results is not that impressive.

The SLI or Crossfire solution would be ideal if Nvidia or ATI had taken at least 2 or 3 years to develop a brand new card, every year they launch a new card so the new top one will outperform 2 on SLi from the last generation, also with features never seen supporting many things. That always happen.

I will buy The DFI because I really like the way they make Motherboards.

Other thing to note is SLI or Crossfire can get the way through with higher resolutions, specially if your monitor can achieve up to 1920 X 1200 like my case :)

nope. I only intend to run a single vga card and if I wanted dual card action I would have gone 975x

hey guys has anyone tried the gskill 6400 HZ on this board yet ?
you guys are saying there is only 2.2v so its not enough to let the ram run as high as people are doing. 1000+ 3-4-3-x
but does the HZ work ok ?

No mate...you can pump up to 2.4v through the RAM with this board :toast:

I am also trying to find the best RAM to get with this motherboard. I am looking for a 2gb kit at 200.00 or less that will clock well with an e6400. I made the mistake of getting CORSAIR TWIN2X2048-5400c4 that I will have to RMA (didn't know I needed pc2800). Does anyone have any recommendations?

thanks for any help

check the Team Group threath @ Xtreme Bandwith

i will be getting these if and when i go C2D

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231073

i will also be getting a E6400.

i got this memory and im sure it will run great in the board. (it has a $20 instant discount from newegg)

thanks aiya, think I may go with that too. I am moving from an opteron 165 @ 2.8ghz also :) edit: found this post with someone asking about speeds with conroe for this memory http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/....php?p=1561544

I'd suggest the Team Group 2gb DDR2-677 C3 from Tank Guys. I've been running them perfectly stable at DDR2-940 4-4-4-8 with 2.1v on my P5W DH and E6600 Awesome ram for $187.

Thats a sweet deal for Micron D9.

OK guys Im about to order my DS3. Are there things I should know about this board? Is anyone here using this board with the Tt Big Typhoon? Do you think any good conroe boards will come out for cheaper any time soon? How does the AB9 compare? Thanks

Didnt Intel say the other day they would be 'fixing' 965 chipset due to incorrect memory timings, could this be related..

If you like layouts that look like a buncha monkeys put it together, then get the AB9 :). It could be a good performer, who knows, I just don't like the layout.

Anandtech got the AB9 pro to 4.7 Ghz using a PD 805. That proves the board has a good VRM and nice circuitry. But I still need to see a review. Damn it, I just can't friggin decide what to buy....:slapass: :slapass:

Yup, ordered 4GB worth last week. Solid ram for sure.

i just picked up some OCZ DDR2-800 Gold for just $165. I'm hoping it'll be good to up around 900.
