When I cold boot I don't need to worry about this as it just goes straight to post, but when changing overclocks, the computer shuts off, and doesn't reboot all the time with 4x1GB.

Maybe F5 bios will fix this.

I had the same issue and was told by my memory manufacure that the P35-DQ6 MCH will not 4 modules above 930Mhz.
I have my fsb at 415 and the memory at x2

not true
just needs more volts on mch n memory

I got myself a P35-DS3 few days ago and i noticed that it has tremendous Vdroop from 1.40v BIOS set, load 1.28v?! Do i have anything wrong? Anyone encountered this too?

Mushkin XP2-8500

It's an issue of Mushkin Rams on Gigabyteboards in general. I have the same problems on P965 DS4 with my XP2-8500 and i am not the only one. Mushkin and Gigabyte is atm a "no go".:down:

I've got annoying problem with DS3 with F5 bios, and processor is E4400. For some reason I can't effectively change cpu's frequency. I can change it in bios, but after restart it hasn't changed, and in bios it shows that frequency tuning is disabled. So, what's the problem?

Mushkin memory update

I was again on the phone today with Mushkin. Their senior design Engineer will be back from Europe shortly and expressed some interest in working with me and Gigabyte to get their memory working correctly on the P35 chipset. This work may also spill over into improving the p965 boards and their memory compatibility.

I ll update you on the progress as we move forward.

Later,

Noctura NH-U12F w Scythe F fan

Guys I can not say enough good things about this heatsink.

I can run near 3.2Ghz on my quad core and only reach 73C. Considering the top of the case is registering 33C and the intake is registerings 31C. That is pretty impressive to me.

The case internal and external temps were taken from my Hardcano 13. The CPU temps are recorded with Core Temp

My previous Ninja was pulling 88-90C at 3.2Ghz with the same fan.

The thing is dead quiet. It may not be the best, but for the size, space and noise, it is definately up there.

I am only running a single fan currently. And my CPU fan is speed controlled by the BIOS. I ll do a full speed test later for you all.

Yes i have the ht thing its disabled though, my mushkin 8500 runs orthos stable 24/7 @ 5-5-4-10 ive had it up to 370 fsb almost 1200 mhz on the memory here ~~ http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/3655/3d06wq3.png

got sytem back uo to 2800 (FSB 400)
All I can possibly inactivate in the bios I did!
But whether in auto or at PCIE 100mhz GRAW2 and Lost Planet crashes when the PC is over clocked! (tried driver 163.44 and my very stable 163.16).

What have I done?

I can get memtest to pass 24 hours at that speed, Othos it takes me 5-5-5-12 and it took me 5-6-5-12 to get stand-by to work correctly using F4 Bios.

What are all your settings? Memory voltage...Everything. You said your BIOS is F5 final?

Dos anybody with P35 DS4 have problems with the new bios ?
All bios from F5-G to F6-a i can only use 4:5 on my ram 1:1 i can`t boot
But bios F5-f no problems at all

Anyone know EIST does not work on Gigabyte boards once you manually set the voltage? The multiplier still drops, but the idle voltage does not.

Actually, 4x2GB of DDR2, or 2x2GB of DDR3.

Is the default voltage always 1.8v or does it depend on the ram being used?

Anyone with 4x1GB and can run memory well over 1000MHz? So far I've got these OCZ's 8500's to run orthos/prime/gamestable 1010MHz 5-4-4-8 and fairly tight subtimings. But even 1020 with same timings (and slacker too) is no go in orthos. Vfsb is set to +0.2V, Vmch +0.1V and Vdimm +0.35V. Increasing these voltages don't help a bit.

You have to disable EIST + C1E in the menu "Advanced BIOS Features".

I have the exact same RAM and it is rated for 2.2V (+0.4V), not 2.0V: http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/part...2KIT12864AL804

Maybe you should try to add more voltage.

I just got the memory, then I'm still trying to find the best settings for a stable OC, I'll post them when my rig will stable.

Did you try to set manually the PCI-E frequency ?
I've read that on the early versions of the P965-DS3, it helped some people to set manually the value to 100 to be able to have a stable OC. People said that it might have been due to the PCI lock not working properly.
Here is the post talking about that: http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.ph...3&postcount=10

Not sure it will solve your problem, it is just a guess, but it doesn't cost anything to try it.

yes, I can do DDR2 1066 with 1.92V (+0.1V MCH, +0.1V Vdimm). A lot depends on your memory multiplier. 3:2 is excellent for memory clocking. Try MCH +0.2V and see if that helps.

Allright, I'll give it a try. Thank's for the tip:up: What memory you have and what are timings for 1066MHz?

Kingmax 4x1GB DDR2 1066 5-5-5-16 (powerchips).

There are two settings which I can use for the rig to be rock stable @DDR2 1066 (FSB 355MHz, MEM:FSB 3:2):
1. DDR2 1066 vMem +0.05V (1.87V) & vMCH +0.20V
2. DDR2 1066 vMEM +0.1V (1.92V) & vMCH +0.1V (i use this one)
