Well I have applied for the RMA for my DS3, I cant afford to have a mobo acting up as much as mine has at uni.....think I might ask to upgrade to a P5B deluxe instead

Well I have applied for the RMA for my DS3, I cant afford to have a mobo acting up as much as mine has at uni.....think I might ask to upgrade to a P5B deluxe instead
just got a DS4 , F4C bios , straight boot to 475 , 1.425 Vcore , +0.15 MCH+FSB voltage. Nice.
Dammit...how long does it take to complete a full round of Orthos again?
it's non-stop
Like it says when you start the test "begining continuous stress testing" or something like that
I have sam problems with the new F5c bios as well as with all the other bioses. 8x400 boot is a no go in close to 100% of the cases no matter if I turn the voltage up as much as i dare. But I have clocked it like this with EasyTune @ the same voltage?!?! How can it be??
Got my sweet spot :)

Not the fastest, but I have been aiming for a 1Ghz overclock, ram is running at 950Mhz.

You won't belive this...8 hours and 59 mins into testing and Orthos failed!
Like....what the hell?
I think is the memory voltage as i had already tested the CPU for 12 hours stable with my current voltage. So i have upped the voltage by another 0.025V and am testing again.
I guess the lesson is...Orthos needs to be run for a VERY long time to test stability properly.
come on gigabyte bring us more bios's
and someone better damn well focus on getting the Micron D9 running.
I tried running 8x400 FSB on my E6400. Not enough volts to the core though - 1.40V in the BIOS is only good for one hour of dual Prime95, and then it rebooted. Ooops.
Right now I'm trying with EasyTune and upping the volts by .05V. Easytune reports the vCore as 1.44, with an EasyTune vCore setting of 1.42. CoreTemps are hitting 71C while before at 8x375 I would be prime stable for a few days at 64C.
I don't think it is worth the 6-7 degrees C for 200 more MHz, but I'll test it anyways just to see if I can do it, then downclock to 3.0 GHz for regular usage.
BTW, is there a way to adjust FSB and vCore simultaneously from a utility? I can't get CrystalCPUID 4.8.2.310 to adjust the voltages, only the multiplier! And it can't adjust FSB. It would be nice to have an all-in-one tool for that.
I've had trouble with SetFSB - if I boot with stock settings, the RAM runs at 1.9V, and if I increase the FSB the system locks up because I can't adjust the DIMM voltage without using EasyTune first.
yeah you use easy tune to adjust that.
and thats why you set everything in the bios silly stop using that crap arse easytune..
Oh I usually do everything in the BIOS. But, I would like to downclock and downvolt my PC for light tasks (watching DVD, surfing) with one tool.
So there is no utility, even command-line driven, that can downvolt the vCore and lower the FSB and multiplier without having to run a million programs? If EasyTunes had a command-line for this it would be easy!
At 6x multiplier, 266 FSB, and undervolting, I could have a very nearly silent system - it would be awesome.
I found the registry entries that Easytune uses:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gigabyte\EasyTune5\Save
I could try writing a batch file that kills the currently running EasyTune, rewrite the registry settings used by EasyTune, then launch EasyTune. If EasyTune can automatically load your clock and voltage settings when launched, then I should be able to create different batch files for different clocking/voltage profiles.
I will have to play around with EasyTune more - it may not be possible to launch it and have it apply settings automatically.
First Post. I got a DQ6 and E6400 at 400FSB 3.2GHZ

What kind of cooling are you using? And what is the voltage in BIOS?
I'm amazed you can boot with such a low voltage, and still pass a few minutes of Orthos. Will it pass 24/7 Orthos?
My temps at load is 70-74C when dual-priming at 3.2GHz. Wow, your temps are 20 degrees C lower than mine!
I'm using a Sonic Tower with an 80mm fan inside it blowing at top speed in an Antec P180 case. Unfortunately, my IHS on my E6400 is slightly convex (a quarter of a milllimeter or less dip).
This is with orthos for 10 Hours!
I'm using Arctic Freezer 7 Pro. Lapped the cpu and the heatsink
bios is 1.3125
ram is 1.9 and the rest on normal
Nice. You're really lucky. I have to go above 1.45 to remain stable at 3.2. It seems everyone on the planet has lower temps than me (Richard excepted! :p).
My Memory is the TWIN2X1024-6400C4 and it is rated @ 2.1 volts. At 2.1 I can't get my FSB above 350 so I started experementing. I figured since my CPU is stable and I only error on blend I decided to leave everything on stock exept lower the vcore by .125 and the mem I put at 1.825 then found 1.9 stable as a rock asd my ss proves. seems like the 965P has problems with high mem voltages I am pretty sure people should give the whole memory thing a closer look. another thing my cpu had tiny bumps on top and was not perfectly flat so there were hotspots so I lapped it and my temp droped by ~15 cel. I am able to run orthos at 3.6 450 FSB for hours but I dont want to push my luck. 3.2 undervolted is magnificent. the DQ6 is a wonderfull board but overclocking is dificult. you can't throw more voltage at it and expect it to work. I am a computer specialist for 8 years and I have never seen a better board than the DQ6. I see the Asus boards are more popular because they are more user freindly than this board but that does not make em better.
i dont like the bios after F3 cause i use for 24/7 the EIST and C1 enable with vcore default and all bios after F3 automatcly rise the vcore to 1.42v .
im using bios F3 on DS3 and E6400 . I can run SPI 1MB at 3350mhz@ Vcore AUTO .
ORTHOS @ 3250Mhz with vcore AUTO
temps with core temp --- Core 1 : 29 idle // 41c full -------- Core 2 : 32c idle/ 42c FULL watercooled
max FSB 463x8 = 3700mhz @ 1.50v
regards
e6600 + DS3 f6b bios... un-be-f*ck-ing-lievable...!!! Used to have a 380 wall, no matter wat voltages, all maxed out => still couldn't get past 380. Now with f6b: 430-ish at stock voltage...
Sweet... :hump: :cheer2: :peace:
ahh just made my new sig
F6b has killed my X-Fi as well.
After going through a ton of problems with the X-Fi and the nForce4 I'm not amused right now. Creative updated my firmware so I should be done with this crap. Come on Gigabyte.

now an easy test of if the pci freq is out of whack is to throw in an old sblive card or some other pci card. does it give you issues ? no then its fine.
ive said it before those stupid X-Fi cards are a pile of sh|t i have seen SOOOOO many threads around the internet in so many different forums with people haveing so many stability issues.
i have also warned you guys about running that x-fi card in these systems.
god knows we shouldnt have any issues. but god is a kid with a magnifying glass and an ant hill.. life isnt fair.. and the X-Fi card are junk in certain systems.
If god is a kid, what are you then :nono:Quote:
