tvdang7 just felt me :()
basically all conroe and allendale are 266MHz quad bus hence lowest speed......but with multi of 7x with E6300 I have i need to hit 500Mhz 1:1 on RAM to get to 3.5GHz.........and 428MHz for 3GHzQuote:

Yes, do some serious playing with those Ratios then.Quote:

My system is going to be;
Gigabyte DS3
Lian Li 7B Case
Antec TP 550W 2.0 PSU
2GB of G.Skill DDR2800 HZ 4-4-4-12
E6600 C2D
Ninja Cooler
X800XL for now
Creative X-Fi XM
WD HDD KS2500 250GB
LiteOn Lightscribe 16X DVD-RW
Lite 52X CD-RW/DVD Combo
Floppy
WinXP Pro
ANother HDD and Mandriver 10 "Must learn Linux".
Not worried about 4GHz but 3.6 would be nice, will be very happy with 3.3 or so. I eve looked at getting an E6400.
PLEASE DON'T!:DQuote:

I cant see a 3 pin header anywhere near the Northbridge for a chipset cooler
Can someone tell me if there is one within a reasonable distance?
i dont have contact with gigabyte but i did email them asking for that option..Quote:

but I know it wont happen but what if I left the e6600 at stock speeds and dint oc it what would the ddr2 800 run at

Can somebody point me in the right direction on how to flash the F3 bios? Doesn't Gigabyte have some auto update utility or do I need to do it the old fashioned way (lol, with the floppy which I have no idea how to do anyway Haha)

Hi, i'd just like to let you know that this board is missing a vital feature, memory dividers which make the ram run slower than the FSB.
Many people on many message boards are not buying this board because of the fact this is missing. Could you add this feature in a future bios update?
Thanks.
Hope they listen!
my 2GB G.Skill PC2-6400U GBHZ arrived today, now the CPU clock better :banana:
http://people.freenet.de/chris070719.../SuperPi-2.jpg
That seems a bit slow, i was getting 24 seconds at 2.4ghz and 22 seconds at 2.6ghz :confused:
That was on a e6500.
update...
stable @ 3.6Ghz (bootup @ 450FSB = no problem) :)

Hey Chri$ch, is that on air? Please say it is so lol. That's exactly what I'm aiming for!
i almost bought the gskill HZ last time but i hold it bcoz i'm afraid it's not compatible with this board..
@Chri$ch, how much u bought that ram n from where?
Can someone remind, whether this board can do the E6600 3.6ghz (9 x 400) boot and is stable?
Unfortunately, I can't get my FSB any higher than 450 MHz stable :(
I can boot at 459-463, but it's not stable. More vCore doesnt help.
What vMCH are you lot using?
What is the max stable FSB then? thx!Quote:
