Well, they're faster clock for clock b/c of the larger L2 cache and SSE4 instructions, but the main thing is they clock higher & run cooler.
Everyone seems to be hitting 4Ghz +- with Wolfdales, assuming they don't hit a motherboard or FSB wall before it.
Dang, Giga 965P-DS3 rev1 won't boot Wolfdale/Yorkie for me, ES models of any speed, with this new Beta F13o. Guess I'll go back to f12 to beat up Conroe some more. :)
Yeah, mine didn't boot either. (rev 1.0) I thought maybe I broke my motherboard with all the problems I had uninstalling & reinstalling the heatsink. And I had already sold my e6600 so I couldn't pop it back in and test everything out. Damn it, I guess its time to order an Asus P35 mobo.
This is what I figured. So you wont see much benefit since you likely wouldnt be able to OC it as high as it could go?Quote:

i am experiencing a very weird situation, sometimes the board will boot with F5 bios, instead of F6G. All the settings will not change, but the bios version had change. Does anybody experience the same thing?
I flashed my old GA 965G DS3 and put an E6850 on it, no go had to put E6600 on it to work...
I've a GA-965P-DS3 r3 board. Any word on whether the beta BIOS works with the wolfdales?
So, another person could confirm if the 8400 works on the 965P-DS4 REv 1.0 with the latest F11F beta bios :D ? I was so close to buy a P35 based mobo, could be great if the 8400 will work on my 965p-ds4 1.0.
How about S3 rev 1.0?
Should work just fine with 8400/8500 right?
Hey guys i just had one quick question. I have a P35-DS3R with F6 BIOS. Ive got a E4500 and some Crucial Ballistix RAM. Now when i turn on my computer every once in a while i get a BSOD. The dump logs say it could be memory related.
Should i update to the latest BIOS? F11 i think..
Wow, I went from F12 to F13o and my E4300 OC is fux0red (DS3 3.3) what a piece of :banana::banana::banana::banana: bios.
Does anyone know a vmod (not the vdroop mod) for S3 rev. 3.3?
I found one over at the Rebel's Haven but it's rev 1.0.
The pins are aligned differently and it uses a different PWM chip.
Could someone maybe help me figure out the pins?
First time I'm gonna do a vmod (or any such modding).
I have attached a picture of the PWM area,
Hi, what's best bios for DS3 rev1? Going to OC my good old e6400 :D
Also I'm going to buy 8800GT/GTS, will it work with DS3 rev1?
I see a new F13r revision for the GA-965P-DS3 on the station-drivers site. File link is here
No detail as to the change from the F13o revision. Has anyone tried it?
Still waiting for answer about the bios.
will u gain from e6400@ 3.2 to wolfy ... YES ! even at stock my e8400 beats my old spuer Pi times by about a second (e6400@3.4) now my wolfy is at 3.8 and trashes the old chip although im little unsure if the lack of clocks is due to bios/board just not sucha golden chip as i cant get it stable much higher but windows is fine , loadit up though and it hard locks inseconds !
flashing to F13o on Sunday killed my board. No post after that, despite it looking like a success. I've got the P35 DS3L now. It's been nice following this thread the past year and a half.
broke back up to 4g ...f11g for the v3 board owrks better that and some more juice :)
New Bios for the GA-965P-DS3 rev 2.0 and rev 3.3
F13q for rev 3.3 http://www.gigabyte.us/Support/Mothe...ProductID=2428
F13x for rev 2.0
http://www.gigabyte.us/Support/Mothe...ProductID=2405
I have rev 3.3 and flashed to F13q with out any problems. But I am still running my old e6400. I do not have a wolfdale or yorkfield cpu' to test with yet.
Yeah, it's official, E4300 is not usually much of a FSB clocker. I managed to swap my year old E4300 for a E6300. I could never get above 350 MHz FSB with that E4300, but this E6300 is happy all the way up to something like 457 MHz FSB (3.2 GHz) on all stock volts!
whats the best overclocking bios for the 965-dq6? on e6850
i just updated to f12k memory dividers dont work good for me
its a loaner my dfi crapped out lol
is there only 2 working memory dividers on the dq6? or is it the board
bump
anyone?
Another driver update for the onboard Realtek 8111B/C LAN chip, dated April 29th:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&GetDown=false
Just had to post to say that I've got my new E8400 running at 4.05GHz on my DQ6 rev 1 with F12j bios...sweet!
Wow that's nice to hear the Wolfdales work.Good Job.I wonder if the Yorkfield quads would work on that?Like the qx 9650 or 9450.Quote:

Well time to post my results here :)
Hardware:
Mobo:Gigabyte 965P-DS3 revision 3.3
Processor:E8400 Stepping 6 Rev C0
Ram: 2x1Gb Corsair XMS2 PC6400 (DDR2-800) rated 4-4-4-12 @ 2.1v
PSU: OCZ 600w GameXstream
GPU: Geforce 8800 GTS 512mb (G92 core)
Cooling: Thermaltake Big Typhoon VX and extra fan on MCH
BIOS: F13Q beta
Results: (all voltages monitored with cpu-z 1.44.2 and temps with coretemp 0.98.1)
3.41Ghz,FSB 379,Mult 9x
4-4-4-12 @ 379 +0.3 ddr2 volts
BIOS volts 1.24375
Idle volts 1.200-1.216
Load volts 1.184
Idle temps: 37-39
Load temps: 56-56
Prime95 3h 30m stable
3.6Ghz,FSB 400,Mult 9x
5-5-5-18 @ 400 +0.4 ddr2 volts
MCH +0.1v
FSB +0.1v
BIOS volts 1.30625
Idle volts 1.264
Load volts 1.248
Idle temps: 35-39
Load temps: 59-59 max 61
Prime95 3h 30m stable
3.8Ghz,FSB 422,Mult 9x
5-4-4-12 @ 422 +0.3 ddr2 volts
MCH +0.2v
FSB +0.1v
PCI-E +0.1v
BIOS volts 1.38500
Idle volts 1.344
Load volts 1.312-1.328
Idle temps: 40-40
Load temps: 65-65 max 66
Prime95 9h stable
Orthos blend test 6h stable
Note 1: Temps are surely off by about +10C since the air coming out from my big typhoon isn't nearly hot for 60c and this kind of OC would never produce such heat with so good cooling ;) Realtemp reports exactly 10c down,so I guess that's the real value
Hope this helps :)
Could anyone confirm 45nm CPUs are supported on the GA-965P-DS4 R1.0 with the latest bios F11 ?.
According to Gigbyte, it wont work but i saw people with E8x00 on their 965P-DS4 R1.0.
I dont mind to change the motherboard for a P35, but if the 8500 will work on my 965p, better :D.
is the 965p-ds4 any good with wolfdales?
There is a new bios update for p965 ds4 2.0, 12A, i dont know if i should upgrade from bios 11 before i put teh new e8400
Little bump, i have my 965P-DS4 Rev 1.0 sitting in the basement without any use at all, can anyone confirm if the wolfdales are working on the Rev 1.0 (C2)?.Quote:
