You're safe on CPU voltage up to 1.55V. The vdrop on these boards is absolutely horrible. Don't even look at speedfan, it's WAYYYY off. Setting 1.4V in bios, 1.39V read in speedfan, multimeter reads 1.30-1.31V IDLE. Doesn't dip from load much more, 1.28V under load with 1.4V set in bios and easytune agreeing with bios.Quote:

Can anyone break 1066mhz Dual channel Cas 5 on this board? I sure as hell can't but I can hit 1000mhz Cas 3 w/ 2.82V and 1.68V on the nb... Starts giving me errors and or hardlocks after 1066mhz Cas 5... 2x512MB PC8000 Ballistix and it's DEFINATELY not the ram holding the clocks back (the actual physical ram, could be a timing issue but I dunno. I use auto sub-timings on boot...)
I am having terrible cold boot issues with the ds3 rev 3.3 BIOS F12. What BIOS seems to be the best with the cold boots. I had an occasional one with F11, but is there one that is known for being the least cold boot prone?
Yea, with Reaper 8500 I broke 1100 on the DS3 with F12.Quote:

So could I flash down to F8 and be fine? Also I have a e4300, so will it be compatible with that BIOS revision?
no matter about revision but you have E4300 its allendale and you can only use F10 and above for this if you use downer may system cant boot at allQuote:

DS4 F10 / DS3 F12 / DQ6 F11 :
Now EasyTune Show real cpu temps means cpu diode temp like CoreTemp
Hi , I have a DS3P rev3.3 , latest bios is F5 ! , Are there any bios F6 , F7 vs .. ??
DS4 F10 / DS3 F12 / DQ6 F11 More Reports:

Official from GBT :
previous bios shown CPU temperature lower than real value. New bios improved CPU temperature monitor accuracy

No F5 is latest for youQuote:

Still having no luck breaking 1066mhz dual channel on this board. Supposibley the F9 bios fixed the D9 issues but clearly it hasn't. It even says in the bios update fixes that it can do 1000mhz 4-4-4-12 2.2V, 1100mhz 5-5-5-15 2.25V and 1200mhz 5-8-8-20 2.35V. Definately doesn't work on my board and I'm using the S3 F10 bios (F12 for DS3.) I wonder if switching between S3 and DS3 bios has somehow affected it... I'm gonna try flashing back to F2 and then flash through every version.
after install this my CPU runs 1C cooler
I confirm Hamid's observations...my temps are also running lower under Prime95 (latest build) stress testing.
Nice but how much in idle and load? :rolleyes:Quote:

its a bit high if your NB sink is not Hot and you can touch it then no problem but putting blower fan on NB can help to your stability ;)Quote:

I think the 8x401 sets the correct (lower?) strap, then switching to 9 multi (plus increased volts) while it is correct keeps you from going out of range on something.
Also, once it is set to boot at 9x401 there is no need to go back to 8x401 if you power off. However, if the board resets to the x266 default, you need to redo the procedure. I've set up a "reset strap" entry on my CMOS save list to make it easier.
It also worked to boot at 7x444 and then reboot to 8x444.
Hope it works for you.
weird as it seems, I also can confirm a small drop in temps even tho the fix has nothing to do with temps.Quote:

hi everyone,can anyone give the vdimm,vcore, and vmch readout point and vmod point for 965p-DQ6?
thanks
