I'm not sure but I had the same issue. I held the same cpu for 3 motherboards and had the same results on all of them. Basically, I was trying for 8x450=3600 on an e6400, and it'd sometimes be able to prime for 24+ hours. But it'd crash sometime later. Sometimes it'd be before 24 hours. Everything was pointing to overstressed power delivery to the cpu, but 3 motherboards ruled that out, and I've tried several power supplies. I later got a different cpu that can do 8x450=3600 on all 3 motherboards. Same amount of voltage.
Try narrowing down the problem. What if you keep everything including voltages the same and just drop the multiplier down to 6x or 7x or something low?
Hey guys, a big thanks to Trax, he has lent me his E6700 to play around with got some great scores and pics to show, and one real scary one

Why you use 2.31v for 5-5-5-15 2T only 456Mhz ?
I realy think there must be different revisions of this board. Mine does wonders with a E2160 (100% Overclock) but with my Q6600 GO I cant even boot into windows above 333FSB. I have seen many Q6600's hit 3,6 Ghz + on this board, but I have tried everything, no luck
have you tried a different q6600 g0 / that cpu in a different board?
Personally, my dfi isn't all too great either. But I tried my new e6750 g0 in a abit ip35e and it also hit similar fsb wall issues.
With this board, my chip can post at 4Ghz + but it wont boot into windows, it just reboots at the vista loading screen at anything above 3Ghz, nothing helps, not Voltage increase...nothing
Getting a Gigabyte P35-DS3P in the morning, will see how it goes with that, hoping for something good
Can someone help me with this, every time I run Orthos for stress testing, my onboard usb devices goes crazy, external hard drive goes on and off as if someone is switching it on and of, tried a flashdrive, Ipod...all the same.
What can cause this...?
ALso, what prog. do you guys use to measure voltages..?
im in the same boat... i cant clock pass 330 fsb.. with everything i tried still no go.. try a different mobo.. like a p35 chipset to see how it goes.. i also want to know if you have success with that gigabyte board.. if yours do good i might pick up a abit p35 pro.
New motherboard is comming in a couple of hours, will let you know haw I get on, lets keep our fingers crossed
@keenan
My G0 did not do as well with this board as my b3. My b3 was 3.3ghz 12hrs prime stable @1.36v on air and 3.5ghz @1.53v on water and 3.7Ghz 3Dmark06 Stable. I sometimes think it doesn't like the G0 stepping. I'm using the 424 bios, what r u using?
I have tried them all mate, tried 2 different GO's.
With my current setup, this board starts @ 450 x 9. So it posts at anything up to 4.2Ghz, but anything over 333Fsb wont boot into windows
I have tried everything, lowered my multy to 7x to try more FSB, not a chance
After getting this new Gigabyte P35-DS3P I might invest in some nice branded Ram. Crucial Ballistix 6400 C4 maybe
4:5 is not the divider to use with this board. NB voltage will most likely be maxed out before 450 FSB is reached.
Quadcore clocking requires patience and perseverance. And then it's all in balancing the settings to work at that particular FSB.
Have a look staring at post #22.
http://csd.dficlub.org/forum/showthr...1391#post31391
I'm not saying use those settings. It was meant as an example how each setting needs to be explored in depth and one at a time. The board I did that on really sucks for quadcore usage. Still was able to end up with a good 24/7 configuration with low voltages. Took a couple of days to finally reach that. Most all the voltages are interdependent on each other.
Yes, I know, just thought I'd give em a try. Just got my Gigabyte P35-DS3P. Gonna see if things look any better for the Q6600
Ok, I'm gonna post the Gigabyte P35-DS3P's results in this thread if its ok...?
First off all. At stock settings, this board is alot more responsive and the whole feeling of it is just more....well. It just feels as if its a beast, made to perform.
Here are stock temps on idle:

LOL. Prime needs to run not just start.
I know that....
I will first get my clock and then adjust voltages for stability
Hey guys, i just got my DFI P965 Dark for my brothers new computer, however there are only 3 ram multi's available, putting a hamper on the overclocking as i only have OCZ platinum to work with atm. Highest OC i can get is 2.4ghz, i updated the bios to the latest version however it doesnt give me any extra multi's.
Amazing how user's will purchase another board to acheive better overclocking results without fully exploring the capabilities of their current board. Keenan's results are nice though unproven as far as stability goes, but I think it would have been at least possible to achieve Praz's results had more time been spent trying to acheive them.
Spawne32
I don't think this board has ever had dividers to reduce fsb. Only 533 = 1:1, 667 = 4:5 & 800 = 2:3.
I put a G0 quad (L728A) in my P965-S and can get it up to 9x390 (7 hours prime stable) but had to ramp up voltages all around.
Vcore: 1.472 idle / 1.440 load
VTT: 1.425
NB: 1.40
I've never been able to hit 400 FSB or over at any divider at any voltage without Windows rebooting as soon as I start Prime. Also, with the quad in, I have cold boot issues where it takes up to 4 or 5 restarts before the board will successfully post. Tried this with 2 different P965-S boards with the same results.

Believe me alot of time was spend...around 4 weeks to be exact
keenan nice results juss need to see prime go on a lil longer than startup... im looking into another board... i havent gave up on this board yet either... it is nice to have another board laying around to see if your cpu works better in it. ive spent about 5 weeks on this board to end up at 330fsb..
Is this board more difficult then it should be with quadcores?. Probably. The only way most will see good results is with a systematic approach. The settings and voltages I ended with are good only for that FSB. If I leave everything as is and drop down 20 or so FSB the system is no longer stable.
GTL+ Driving Strength is a good example. At 320 I had to set it to Mode 1. Around 370 it needs to go to Mode 2. For each bump in FSB that brings instability each setting/voltage needs to be tried one at a time.
I do want to add that with my E2160 I easily got speeds of 3.6Ghz with 1.6V. Some of these boards just dont clock as good as others.

Here's a screen of my Q6600 at 3.5 after 6 hours of Prime. This is the best I can do so far.

Hey Dark79 VERY NICE. @ 4:5 even.... that is truly amazing for this board. Can you post your bios settings?
Also are you using air?
What is the voltage reading from smartguardian when running prime? Approx .03 vdroop?
ok guys, sorry I took so long, spend all day lapping the cpu and geminII
Started at the very bottom and working my way up...
Only running 10 minutes prime95 for now, just to check stability...

Also, I flashed back from 9/02 bios back to the 4/24 bios and no longer have cold boot issues.
Not sure these settings will help much as I've tried both Praz's and GripS's but neither of them are stable for me. I think it's all about experimentation and finding out what your board likes.
Thanks very much Dark. I'm priming with your settings right now. I'm running the ram at slightly tighter timings. I'm actively cooling the ram so i gave it 2.2v. http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/upl...a7d28009ed.jpg
4 hours down
i tried those settings still no go at 333 fsb... prime would run but will hard reboot after 15mins of prime... ill stick to what i have now until the dfi lp ut p35 comes down in price.
okay lil bit of update... i was about to prime 333fsb for over 8hrs... i up the vnb 1.3 and change my mem subtiming... tras to 15 and trfc to 38... its not that big of a gain but i can finally prime 333fsb without system hard rebooting

My Infinity 965-S is a horrible overclocker. Is there a setting that I'm missing somewhere? The max FSB I can do is 400Mhz. If I set it even 1Mhz over 400 the board will freeze during HD detection during POST. I'm using AHCI mode so POST shouldn't even be doing detection.
I know it's not the CPU or RAM. I was running 3.6Ghz on an Asus P5B Deluxe and 3.5Ghz on a Gigabyte DS3.
