and you'll go buy one after you feel how hot this DS3 northbridge gets.

as cheap as this mobo is just spend $2 and treat yourself ot a decent little NB fan. ;)

yeah i didn't explain it properly..........so here is a pretty pic just for you :p:

i'm talking about DIRECT airflow with a fan covering RAM and NB........and then going out via one of the two 120mm exhaust fans :)

dude that aint gunna cool your northbridge for :banana::banana::banana::banana:E and you know it... or maybe you think you do.

you have to have direct or near direct fan contact with a NB chipset to cool it.

i mean im not trying to stop you, you can find out yourself.
maybe yours stays cool but they didnt use copper for this northbridge heatsink, so..

anyways.. do what you want but if you aint gunna spend 5 bucks or less ofr a little fan then your cheaper then i am.,. and man im a cheap!

either the usb on these boards (or mine) is screwed up, or.....

omg I get the same thing while gaming at 461fsb
it's like my mouse freezes for a second and then goes back to normal

by doing ctrl + f1 i thought u can assign IRQ via BIOS??

I hope that you and BWR are kidding. I heard vicious rumours back in Australia that American's are ignoramus's but I would expect better from xtreme members.

Thank God for wikipedia's redeeming qualities!

kitt easytune only installs and works properly if you install it with a non overclocked bios.

dont use easytune though its worse than AI Booster from Asus. which actually is good, but easy tune is poop.

Hmm, ive just come back from holiday and am quite uneasy about motherboard choices. I fancy trying a gigabyte, i was going to go for the 965P-DQ6 but im not totally convinced now.

I want to overclock quite far on water with an e6600 and i only need one graphics card. If i buy one now the price difference is minimal (id have to buy a new cooler for the ds3 northbridge anyway). So, assuming price makes no difference, would you go for the DS3, DS4 or DQ6?

Im assuming and hoping that new bioses will show leaps and bounds in all these boards.
07-22-2006, 06:13 AM
K.I.T.T.

What software do you use to monitor temps from windows?

And also, i can't prime at 420 x 6 :stick:

Did you guys change the MCH voltage at all, or leave it at stock? If i leave it at stock, the whole system crashes after ~15 secs of dual prime :stick:

No, if you scrolled down, you would find out that most of Taiwan speaks Taiwanese.

However, Taiwan's official language is Mandarin, which makes sense because people from Taiwan are really just Chinese people on an island.

This is all assuming that coolaler is from Taiwan of course.

eh damn. there's no divider option for my ram to make it stay @ 800 when i oc my e6300 above 400.. is that mean i stucked @ 400fsb?

anway my board is DS4. and proc is e6300 b2. :(

yups mine is B2. anyway i dont remember the stepping on the processor coz too eager to run it :p: will check it on monday when i receive lga 775 clip for my wc.

so is there any way i can still oc my proc to more than 400fsb while maintaining the ram speed = / < 800?

yes to take E6300, 6400 high u need good RAM, u cant go less than 1:1 fsb : dram ratio

owh, thx theteamaqua..

anyway, can u share ur setting for M.I.T page (after ctrl F1)? this is the 1st time i'm using intel in 3 years and the first time i'm using ddr2 and the 1st time i'm using gigabyte.
i tried seach at google but it's too new and it's hard to find one.
i wish i could know which voltage should i increase when to make my oc stable.

what's the highest gone with an E6300 prime stable?

and whats a safe vCore on air? I can't pass prime at 450 x 7 w/1.32v :(
07-22-2006, 12:43 PM
theteamaqua

i think vcore , vmch (or GMCH in BIOS thats waht its called) maybe vcore to 1.4v, 1.5v , and vmch to +0.2v. i heard vFSB doesnt relaly help, also set PCI-E clock to 101 for soem reason

and for memory timing (the hidden stting after ctrl + f1 ) well dont set it too lower or it fails. just set to stock , when i leave this at auto, i get 5-7-7-23!!! this 8000UL can do 5-4-4-9 @ 1GHz wuth 2.2v... its memory controller is messed up for DDR2 PC8000 or above, but u can always set it ur self.

As for vdimm, i have tried to give my 8000UL 2.2v and DDR18 fails !!! wtf, it needs +0.4v or 2.2v vdimm (corsair 8000UL needs 2.2v to operate at 1000MHz according to Corsair website)

for pentium d 920 i need vcore 1.5875v and +0.2v mch or else it wont boot to achieve 4GHz. i tried vcore 1.5875 and vmch +0.v it wont boot a 4GHz
07-22-2006, 12:48 PM
theteamaqua

also have people experience failure to boot after u turn off the PSU???

i mean i can power on the PSU and computer with stok clock settings, and then overclock and reboot it works fine. No matter how many tiems i reboot can always boot with overclocked settings, but after shutting off PSU. It just wont boot when i tried to turn it on ....

the key is that i can reboot with no problem with overclocked settings, but after PSU is shut off , i cant turn on the computer with overclocked setting no matter how low i go
07-22-2006, 12:52 PM

444 x 7 is fine with 1.29v

thx for the tips. too bad my memories are weak. i had one value 2gb corsair ddr667 with micron chipset that can do over 800 but the other one with unknown chipset max around 700 only. So sad coz at first i got a pair of ram with micron chipset which can do 800 @ stock vdimm but suddenly one of the ram died. Send for replacement and get the normal chipset :(
now i'm running my e6300 @ 2.45ghz, 350x7 ram @ 700 5-5-5-10 :P and everything at stock voltage. while this speed is better than my opty 170 @ 2.8ghz (my daily use speed) but it just a waste seing 3ghz chip running at less than 2.5ghz :nono:

hey KITT you can do 3.3 on air with defualt vcore. so dont worry about it. 3.3 isnt an issue for vcore.
i can do 3.6 w/ 1.28 or slightly less.
vdroop on these boards is very small also which is nice.

It's not blocking any of my PCI slots on this mobo, only PCI-E 1X slots. The angle of the photo is bad.

no just get yourself a little 40 or 50 mm fan.

i dont know about anyone else, but ALL of the 965 and 975 chipsets should require a fan on them to keep them cool.

even the P5W DH with its heatpipe can get pretty toasty. mine did. so i thru a little fan on it.
hot glue does wonders for those quick fittings of fans onto goofy spots lol

There are plenty of reviews on Google. IMO, the fan is not loud at all. It has three speeds to accommodate everyone's tastes.

Now it it running at 4000 rpm, and its really loud :eek:
I didnt even know this fan was capable of such speeds!!

yeah it's really loud compared to before because it's a variable speed fan. When I was running the fan on amd it only used 3 pins so I think it was always running at minimum speed

I'm running a XP90C and the fan from the Hyper48 and set fan speed in easytune to 1400rpm

Very nice K.I.T.T.! Bootable and stable at 450FSB awsome! Keeping pushing it! I would'nt raise vcore anymore though. Try switching to 6x multi.

I'm trying to decide between the P5B Deluxe and a DS3 or a DS4.
DS4 and P5B are the same price here, but if the DS3 is just as good a board, I'd rather save the money. :)

What I wanna ask is whether a HR-05 would fit onto the NB. I have one right now on my old S478 mobo and I would like to continue using it if I get a 775 mobo that doesn't use some heatpipe system. TR's website hasn't listed these new 965 mobos on their compatibility list yet.

Whats the consensus on the best Northbridge cooler for this board?

KITT - Is the vdroop horrible or manageable?

Set at 1.3815v in BIOS and under load, easy tune reports 1.34v, and CPU-z reports 1.328v....

I think CPU-z is more accurate...

It's not horrible...but it's not that good either....

It's an ES, this has been answered several times.

400 FSB

jesus guys you peeps need to read thru these threads instead of going to the last post and asking these things this sh|t has been answered dozens of times already in 5 different threads

and if you read you'll learn a thing or two about this board and how to set it up with various cpu's.

yeh , we already saw that with low Multi´s (x6,x7,x8) the DS3 can run high´s FSB , but we also know that with multi x9 they are not so good , so anyone can see what the Max FSB stable with a Conroe E6600 and multi x9 ??? I apreciate , thnks again.

I think it's fair to say that 450 x 7 is stable:

Although temps are starting to get VERY hot. Almost dangerous.... (notice the warning sign)

With a relatively low vCore (~0.05 above stock), You can see why i hate stock cooling :rolleyes:

Are you guys using any chipset cooling or do you have the stock one with fans blowing on it?

it has all been said in the last 3 pages ;)

I am also about to order a e6400 and this mobo :)
But because my system still user ddr1 mem and an agp card i need to get some new ram and another videocard too.. and i'll just add a new harddisk too while i'm at it...
in other words; triple_A is gonna be broke for the next couple of months :cool:

Any chance of comparing the overclocking abilities of the DS3 vs P5W K.I.T.T.?

ie: Max FSB

Its seems the mobo is not the limiting factor, but the CPU is. So with higher multipliers you begin to run into problems with the core of the chip itself handling the high total frequency.

Most likely Cooling will be the limiting factor here and not mobo FSB speeds.

seems my board's max is around 490fsb Super PI 1M
that's with stock vcore air cooled
mch +0.1v
vdimm 2.4v 4-4-4-12 1:1

can probably take a screenshot at 495-500 fsb but that seems to be about it

This is with a E6300 and 7x multi

ArcTan, what's your max FSB when running prime stable? Thanks

I've only tried 461x7 small fft's for about 12 hours though no screenies

Thanks ArcTan. 3.227 is very good for me. BTW, yours E6300's ES,so around 3.0-3.1 should be achieved by retail one...??

better to wait for retail cpu's before we can say that's true. I can hit my boards limit before I even have to increase my vcore from stock

This is interesting, Conroe not as dependant on dual channel as the Pentium 4
