Another board another day
Well.....the DQ6 is sitting in THE PILE. I ll get around to RMAing it later.
The GA-P35-DS3P is in. Rev 1.1 Bios F4 This board works with no issues. Given my finger test, I would say this board is overvolting the memory too.
Core temp says that my CPU is Idleing at 48C
The Bios reports almost 10 C lower.
Anyhow this is a major improvement over the scythe ninja I had in there.
My sig lists my hardware.
Later
still rolling towards stability
Well after overclocking, underclocking and checking everything out.
I can not get my memory to be 100% stable at its rated timings. This includes raising the voltage. The best I am getting is 5-5-5-12 @ 1066. This is stable at +0.2Volts. Raising the voltage slowly all the way to 2.35V doesn't get me to 5-5-4-12. Nor does changing any other voltage or setting.
5-5-4-12 seems to pass 12 hours of memtest on test 5.
But at 5-5-4-12 the computer can not resume from stand-by or pass 12 hours of Othos.
5-5-5-12 passes both.
I'm going to work with Mushkin to get another set of memory, becuase changing the motherboard is a pain in the ars. I do have another 7 GA-P35-DS3P's here to try if swapping the memory does not work.
Once I get the memory straightened out I m going for the [H]cp stability bench test. If it passes THAT, I'll consider it 100% stable
This is the test....condensed and ripped from [H]ardOcp.com
Run the following:
Prime95 (in duplicate for single core cpus and triplicate for Dual Core) [Or Orthos+ Prime95] for the CPU and RAM, IOMeter for the hard drive, and a looped 3DMark2006 for the RAM and GPU. All of the applications are run simultaneously for 24 hours. We feel it’s a good way to stress the components and simulate use of the system over a long period of time since it works all components at 100% for the duration of the test. It also allows us to find any defects in the build, as a weak component is likely to be exposed during our torture session.
