When you change for example from normal to turbo mode there is no visable increase in fsb or mhz, on the memory side, but memory performace is better when turbo is selected.
I don't really know what it changes but it is something unseen in the bios.
I suppose it tightens the chipset timings a little.
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 .
What are your voltages?, CPU etc?
cpu vcore = default (1.350)
ram voltage = 2.1 ddr 800 4-4-4-12 2T ( by the way, I can't find 1T options )
eh... intel board no 1T options? :X
Lazi, the default is 2T...only the 680i boards support 1T and adjustments.
Vera...default Vcore and you're getting 3.2GHz?...pretty damn good. Try upping the Vcore, go in baby steps until you attain Orthos stability.
Try 425x8=3.4GHz. Try 1.4V Vcore....also the DDR voltage, you'll only need 2.0V.
Its not just youQuote:

Has anyone noticed that Gigabyte has the 11B bios for the DS3 listed on the website. I assume it means it's an official beta in the RC status.
Clearly states it's a beta with the only fix being "Support Intel E6420 & E6320 CPU". No mention about the way it detects the cpu temp or anything else.
First time I've seen a beta bios listed in the official bios list.
cheers
The probably needed to release a beta quick for said CPU support.
I'm using F10d and in my tests in spare time, I found I cannot overlock as usual using manual voltage settings. I have to set main voltage setting to Auto...in this way I have a chance to overlock.Quote:

But at the end, in my case, if i not use auto voltages i cannot overclock...and also if operating system and applications starts well, sometimes some quick lockup or strage crashing happens, and in that cases i think more volts than auto should helps.
anyone had issues using 4x1gb on the DQ6? My motherboard just seems to reboot even more than usual... And my Audigy doesnt work anymore :S, but I think thats a creative problem...
New final BIOSs for-
S3 - F9
DS3 - F11
DS4 - F9
DQ6 - F10
now available.
cool. makes me want to take out my ds3 again, but i dont know.
Gonna do the very final flash for the 965-DQ6, i've already sold my board for €155 and the brand new P35-DQ6 will be arriving tomorrow.
Just gonna flash to F10 for the new owner, so from tomorrow on i will no longer be posting in this thread, you'll find me over at the Gigabyte P35 thread.
Many thanks to everyone who's posted and followed this thread, think it's one of the longest ever.
New DS3 F11 bios also increases CPU temp to reflect more the 'core temps' as noticed with SpeedFan. Everything else seems the same compared to F11 betas.Quote:

My problem is that i cannot use manual voltages. In my tests, sometimes system starts with voltages set on "manual" and voltages set by me(same i used with no problem with F9), but after i shutdown, the morning after the boot fail.
When boot fail, often i noticed that system does boot and continue to load windows, but i get no signal from monitor and some fans in the case run at 100%...i suppose vga fan and maybe cpu fan.
In this situation if i press Cancel at right moment and wait the right time, system enter in bios even if i can see nothing.
So i move with arrow keys to "Load Optimize Defaults" or "Load Fail Defaults", F10, yes, and the reboot after video signal is back with all at default.
I anyone have suggestions about any "secrets" on this new bios....:confused:
Since the F11 bios for DS3 is finally officialy launched on gigabyte, could you guys post here the full changelog. :)
On the gigabyte site, they only mention this:
1. Fix PCI-E overclock issue
2. Support Intel E6420 & E6320 CPU
Peace out :D
I think I'll wait before I buy a new mobo, this one has given me enough trouble as it is... I'll keep watching your new thread Rich :).Quote:

The first impression is not very good, with the F10 BIOS i was 460x7, now with the F11 it just fails to boot... :(
here´s my setup:
E6400
DS3 rev 1.0 C2
CellShock 6400
What do they mean by "Fix PCI-E overclock issue " ?
Do we not have to force 100mhz anymore ?
Do we not have to up the pci-x voltage anymore ?
Do we not have to set 105-110mhz if there are video problems ?
Just leave it on auto from now on ?
lots of questions :p:
I installed the F11 official , reported motherboard temperature is much higher .
Didn't play with settings yet .
Funny but weird my temperature report normally like usual on F9. But there's 1 thing for sure that I don't need to set pci-e speed to 100mhz since F8. It's auto on both the speed and voltage.
Anyone using Sub-zero cpu cooling with their DS3?
I just got my Vapo LS mounted on my E6600 and DS3 and it boots up fine. Still just using stock settings and all overtemp protections turned on.
My problem is with the temps... From reading these forums I know that 965 mobos and C2Ds won't show negative temps. Only down to 0C.
But I'm getting these temps with the evap showing -50C:
CoreTemp 0.94: Stuck at +12C
Bios: +60-62C
I have checked that I have proper contact between the evap and CPU.
Well I flashed with the new F11 bios. I've noticed only a slight increase (1-2 degrees) in cpu temp compared to core temp. CPU temp now shows 36C and coretemp 42C almost identical to the F7 bios I was using.
+1 Here!! My CPU idle/load Temp increased 2C with New DS4 F9
Has anyone else have problems cold booting their DS3s at high speeds?
When I was on aircooling it had no problems cold booting at 430x8 and 1.5V.
Now when I'm on phase it won't cold boot any higher than 410x9 and 1.6V. Then I can use softFSB to get to 432x9 which will run Orthos stable for 8h.
I can do warm boots at that speed no problem but as soon as it shuts down it won't restart...
Any ideas?
