although F3 limits the PCI E voltage to
+0.1 but i can still squeez about 510/1300 out of my 7800GTX
and yeah i can try that
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=106413
changed it to 5-4-4-9 dont have the patience to go lower lol
You were using 3:5 ratio there. What's the maximum FSB at 1:1? Can you do more than 400?
at 3.5GHz which fsb is 250 i can do 1GHz like my sig
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=105740
there after 1 min of rebooting n failure to boot i think 4-4-4-9 is the lowest i can boot

and felix just sent me memset 965:

3-3-3-7 is the lowest i can set maybe more voltage :X
felix u rock
wow man you seriously are smoking some shyat lol j/k thats way off man, that conroe will smoke anything especially a 920 @ 3.8Quote:

it beats my 955 XE @ 4.5ghz and my conroe is only at 3.6ghz. and mind you that 955 Xe is dualcore AND hyper threading.
and phosphate, you dont know how to apply thermal paste ? ok this is going to be a long night...
first and foremost throw away that crap stock heatsink. its not good for anything other than a paperweight.
take a razor and remove that old thermal pad crap.
take some lighterfluid or something and rub off any remaining goo, dont leave ANY on it.
get some good thermal paste, Arctic Silver 5 please.
take and put a small tab on your cpu. by small i mean maybe a 1/8th x 1/8th inch blob it dont take much
take the ehatsink and set it on the cpu and press down firmly, DO NOT WIGGLE OR MOVE THE HEATSINK AROUND very much,
with your other hand clip down the retention clips so the heatsink remains.
plug everything in and away you go.
He talk about tighter timing of the memory, not cpu raw power.. read ! :stick: :slap: :p:Quote:

F3 official bios available here :
http://europe.giga-byte.com/FileList...965pds3_f3.exe
I can't test it for the moment, i'm working on another platform.
Waiting for your results.
yeah ps i already have F3 its much better control over PSU, and also if it fails to boot it just shutdown PSU n restart at stock speed which is nice cuz in F2 i gotta cleasr CMOS then OC all over again
You mean CPU right, not PSU :stick:Quote:

i am not sure how to explain it but anyway it fix the power on issue
Oh right....this problem occurs in the P5W DH as well :(Quote:

The PSU temporarily shutting down is not a problem per se. More of an annoyance. The Bad Axe sometimes does it and so does the P5WD2. I think that's just the way the 975X chipset works. I don't know if it does it on the DFI Infinity too.
crap does the DS3 shut off when you exit the bios or reboot windows also when the FSB is above 320mhz ?
please no.... that is so annoying and not good for the hardware.
its not allowing the hardware to properly shut down.
Someone over newegg reported this "problem" yes.Quote:

I believe the latest bios fixes that.

No cons as far as 965 goes and great results so far. We'll see once the Retail procs come.
An E6300 would kick arse on this board.
Does anyone have any volt mods for this board?
I want to do atleast VDimm and VGMCH to this board...
its great as is... but it needs alittle more.
What's the story about having the reboot for every single change you make in the bios (I was looking at that ASUS vs DS6 vs Bad Axe thread).
Is the DS3 doing that too or can I make more than one change without having to reboot for each one?
I'm assuming this is a bios related issue and will be resolved, perhaps people who own said mobo could email Gigabyte and list their problems so as bios updates can be issued?
I dont know who told you that...
I been making 5-6 changes in bios each time and it reboots and all that just fine.
I just got the board this afternoon however... so I dont know of any real quirks in the board yet other then...
you cannot set the Tras Lower then 9 for some reason (Bios F1 and F3)
and, you can't set ras to cas 2 or TRP 2.
all of these settings work in bios, but get into windows and your settings are always cas 3-3-3-9 at the lowest.
