No matter how many volts I add it's very unstable at 400FSB and I don't want to risk more than 1.5Vcore for an extra 200MHz. A lot of people are blaming the OCZ ELP Rev. 1 ram but my ram is fine at lower FSB speeds @3:2. I think it may be bios/ram timing issues but where to start? I tried using spd timings (5-6-6-17) and it's still unstable at 400FSB.Quote:

UPDATE: Problem solved! :D I thought that since the system was stable with small FFT/Blend/Gromacs that the large FFT instability problem was ram/MCH/FSB related. Changing from 400fsb to 401fsb altered my ram sub-timings, which seemed to help. Changing ram timings from 4-4-4-12 to 4-5-4-15 seemed to help. Increasing Vcore to 1.45V did the trick.
To all.
Do you know, how this board working with Power Supply FSP BlueStorm 500W (if you know this PS). I've just heard about conflicts this board with that PS.
Can you lower multiplier for E6600 / E6700 Retail on 965p-DS3 in the bios?
There's a CAM feature (says the manual), but does it allow you to select the multiplier?
Konichiwa Btiches!
Long time AMD man coming over to the darkside....
Sounds like the DS3 is the lesser of common evils for a E6300 or E6400. I am going to order one up tonight and will post results soon.
At this time, I cant justify the price gouge on the 6600 even though when I first started scouting conroe a couple of months ago I figured that would be the one I would buy. 4mb L2 is oh so delicious.Quote:

I plan on watercooling the northbridge (as well as the cpu). I have seen a few DS3s hit 500+ so might as well aim high... I am not holding my breath on this however.

This ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227124
Boot with stock dell cheapo ram and set +.2v for 2.0v. Put in my two sticks and it just keeps resetting itself. Sometimes it will act like it's booting but nothing will go to monitor. Tried with just one stick in the slot, same thing. Tried with the other stick, same thing.
I really need help, replies are very much appreciated!
Try the official F4 bios and be patient while it does it's self-test reboots. Maybe try +.3V for 2.1Vdimm which is still within warranty.Quote:

I thought stock vdimm on the DS3 F4 was 1.8v..
I too have done this but, with bios F4 even when changing Read to Precharge, if i set it to 6 memset will claim its 8 or 9, also RCT is auto at 27 but when 38 is set memset also shows a discrepency. This bios still needs alot of work imo.Quote:

I had that RAM and i tired everything from different bios to bios settings. I never got it to work I would exchange them rather than waste your time. If you RMA to OCZ they will just give you the same thing.Quote:

My Conroe E6600 is on its way, and I am considering getting this board.
Will OCZ Gold 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model work well with this mobo? (Ram requires 2.0V)
NJDevilsFan21: I'd be scared... that stuff hates my board.
So I bought some semi cheap 667 twinx corsair stuff today... here is my initial tests to this point... (Stock volts on cpu/motherboard, ram changed to 5-5-5-15 @ 2v) Passed half of superpi 32m, and i stopped because i want to test more.
http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/4...altestssu7.jpg
Can you or someone recommend ram to get for this board then? [DDR2 800 if possible] (I haven't purchased any yet, but that one seemed cheap, so that's what I was asking).
I'm having the same problem, well if $ is an issue for you too. This twinx is doing better than I thought, but I'd love to have Corsair 800 that is on newegg right now for $200 AR. I just can't afford it really after tax/shipping :(Quote:

$190-$50=$140 AR
I also bought this PSU http://shop1.outpost.com/product/495...H:MAIN_RSLT_PG. $54.99-$50= $5. It got pretty good reviews but I read on the forum this board has problems with some psu? Should this work ok with this board?
I know, it sucks to live in a state they tax :( (I ordered a few things from TigerDirect for my pc to avoid taxing so I could save a few bucks)Quote:

It's DDR2 667, but I really can't afford more. And just because it says 1.8V... with all the problems I've been reading, I want to be sure it will work before I go and order anything (stupid RAM is keeping me from ordering the other $600 worth of stuff I need to build my pc from Newegg right now).
I've heard about problems with Gskill in DS3, I'm in the same boat as you. OCZ guys are really cool though, taking my ram for testing/rma right now.
I think a lot of it was referring to G.Skill sticks that used 800Mhz which I believe would have them require atleast 2.0V to work.Quote:

Just pointing out that my fortron blue storm 500W works like a charm with the ds3 I own.

Well, I think they fixed the temp bug in many cpu temp read progs because I now have an accurate temp ( same as bios ) but maybe that is because I installed my cooler again.
With f4 I there was a pause I think while booting, that`s also gone. Don`t know if they fixed the 2.1V ram, see for yourself . Working great :)
edit : seems the iritating booting and booting over and over again with a to high fsb is also gone ( well that was my problem )
I can't yet unfortunately; :mad:Quote:

Maybe this bios is better for 4mb chips , because in the other thread a few people notice no difference with a E6400.
this ram works good with the DS3. It boots whith no problems on 1.8V.
I bought the corsair 6400C4 and had no problem at all booting at firstQuote:

I am a big trouble and I really need help.
I installed windows 3 times by now. So eveytime time I try this is over a fresh istall.
I cannot install the audio drivers. I install first the intell drivers that are said to be installed first and I have a sucess message upon intalation. I either reboot or not rebbot (tryed both)
Then I try to install the audio drivers. I used both from site and from CD. and everytime I get a message I have to install those genric drivers that I installed before and aborts the audion instalation.
I dont know what else I can do!
I'd sell the mb and pick up another one

highly doubt it , they're micron d9 chips and they're teamgroups with no heatspreaders, I even tried pushing 2.4 in them to make sure it isnt them. Even relaxed my timings to 5-5-5-15 , no diceee. D9s should be doing 1000+ without a hiccup at that many volts and relaxed timings.Quote:

Any suggestion guys?
I booted right up with no problems using this
http://www.legitreviews.com/article/332/
running 4-4-4-9 @ 960MHz right now
it's hard to find though, I got mine through Ewiz but it is no longer available there
on the frequequncy thing my best stable is in the 360's also, I booted at a little over 400 but it was not stable for 15 min with Orthos even with 1.55 volts, plus the temps even with the ware cooling were shooting up toward 60C. So I am running 360 x 9 @ 1.39
I soloved my slow-reading-DVD drive by upgrading my bios from f3 to f4. I personally believe that it is caused by the DMA. Somehow I cant enable DMA under f3. once I upgraded the bios to f4, the DMA was automaticlly enabled.
however, my computer still keeps crashing and blue screening with the f4. can someone here help me?

apcer ddr2 1g 667*2
2 sagate hard disks linked as raid mode
Gigabyte needs to set the initial boot up to be at 2.0v or 2.1v for ram. Can't they set it to be different than the actual speed, like F1 BIOS was booting at 66Mhz FSB, then going to fullspeed? Just so us tweakers with fast ram that needs 2.0+v can freakin boot up properly.
I'm upgrading to some new sticks of ram later this week. I have other sticks which boot at default that I'm going to sell later, so I'm going to be scared to upgrade BIOS's later. B/c I might get stuck with a NO BOOT.

I tried everything from resetting the CMOS, taking the battery out, swapping the memory modules around, disconnected everything to connect it again but finally gave up and decided RMA the board.. I like the board, so decided to ask for a replacement, but now I am wondering if I am going to land myself in the same situation.. Does anyone have any suggestions in case they just send back the same board?
From what I have read, I am guessing my problem is down to the fact that my board has an older bios or I am using dodgy memory... If the retailer just sends my old board back without updating the bios, what is my best solution?

No, it is NOT definately a memory problem. I and others here and on other message forums, have had this problem and it has NOT always been the memory. I was using the Corsair DDR2-667 memory and it still did it. I had to take my PC Pwer and Cooling 1KW out of the system and use another (any other, tried 4 different ones and they all worked) one to get it to post. I tried cheap, generic DDR2-533 ram, different video cards, nothing worked except swapping psu's out. I know, it makes no sense. I tried it with the board on a workbench, nothing.
I have since RMA's the 1KW to PC Powering and Cooling, where they tested it and said there was nothing wrong with it. I'm starting to wonder about this board myself, wondering if many of these "power on for 2 seconds then off" problems aren't somehow psu-related and not always "def" a memory problem.
Try a different power supply.
mine power on and off when fails to overclock its a DS3 thing when something wrong ,it reset automatically
QUESTION:
I can't remember from when I had my DS3, but do these boards still do the cold-boot power-on > shutoff > power on for good thing? Or did a BIOS flash fix that? Reason I ask is I'm building a DS3/E6300 system for my Dad and he's gonna freak if he sees that crap. I'm replacing an old system that was flaky and the last thing I want him to see is the initial power on, shutdown, power on thing.
Windows 2003 Server
Don't know if this has been posted already, but it would be good for the FAQ:
If you're using Windows 2003 Server, the drivers for the Gigabit lan are ZIPPED!
That means Windows will NOT find them until you unzip, and the automatic install just installs the XP drivers. This was KIND of a big issue for me...
It only does that to me when fails to overclock u know bad settings on bios, but if i go back to stock speed it doesnt.
now question for u is taht the max u can hit with the p5b 3.2?
P5B? Ya mean P5W? I get my P5B tomorrow - I'll let you know.Quote:

It's not your mobo. It's your chip, IMO. Guys are hitting much higher FSB's with E6600's on our same mobos doing everything we're doing on AIR cooling with different week chips. I guarantee you if I had a week 26 or 27 chip I could do better than 3.2GHz @ 4.5V. How much better? That's the luck of the draw I guess.Quote:

1) Remove 24-pin power lead from mobo
2) Remove battery
3) Wait 1/2 hour
4) Reinstall battery
5) Re-attach 24-pin power lead
6) Short power pins (press pwr button)
7) If mobo continues to power-on and immediately shut down, short power jumpers (hold power button) for several seconds.
When I did this, my mobo beeped and posted.
I believe that the Gigabyte self-test post routine (failed OC recovery) can get stuck and recycle continuously. By shorting the power pins for more than 4 seconds you can break the cycle and it will reset to bios defaults. This may or may not work for you but it did work for me and I'm very happy with my DS3 now.
I hope this helps.
