Hmm... We have the exact same RAM, CPU, and motherboard. Are the mch and Ram voltages the only thing you changed?Quote:

Only change mch + 0,1V and set the timings to 5-5-5-10. My corsair sticks have elpida on them. Whitch 5-5-5- is the sweetspot.Quote:

Plz keep me posted if you find a fix, ill do the same for you.
does that little fan spin fast enough to add a noticeable amount of noise?Quote:

It's really weird, since there's no problem at all once it runs. Looking at the HDD LED, it doesn't seem that the BIOS even bothered to try loading the MBR on my HDD when it fails. It only looks for my floppy (doesn't matter if I set floppy as 3rd boot)! Even my DVD-Rom drive didn't even light up (2nd boot device)... this has got to be a BIOS bug.
Anyone having anymore success than me with team 667 and the ds3?
Currently ive primed my way into 464X7 4-4-3-8
Any more than that and i have random freezes.
Im on the f3 bios BTW..
Before I had a 40mm fan on my NB, the heatsink was @ 55C under load (probed with a digital multimeter with thermal probe). Your finger would burn in 3 seconds. That's on a non-oc'ed system (everything stock @ 266FSB). But of course, ambient temp over here is nearly 30C.Quote:

The heatsink temp being so bad already, I just can't imagine how much hotter the core is running. The pdf file of the 965 (G)MCH says there's no readable thermal sensor on it. There's a thermal trip sensor which we could program, but there's no way we could read the actual temperature value.
The heatsink feels hotter than my Gigabyte G-Power's base... And I've got a P-XE-955 running at 66C under load... :confused:
Flash to the F5 Final, that will fix all the problems with 667Mhz memories. I had a lot of errors on prime and memtest and also I got BSODS on Windows, but when I flashed to the F5 Final Bios all the problems disapeared.Quote:

Using F5 BIOS, Giga's RAID0 with 2 Raptor's and the latest GSATA drivers available from their site (dated 01-Aug-06). BIOS set to "RAID/IDE".
oooohh...an official F5 BIOS was posted yesterday. I wonder if that'll cure my OC wall. Anyone try the above theory of that if you skip over 400FSB to 401 FSB it may be stable? I never tried 401 (just 400) so I wonder if that statement as merit to it. Or has anyone tried the F5 and gotten past their wall?
Ah yes...soon I'm just gonna go for a Corsair Cool Water system and water cool everything...maybe even the NB and then continue my OC'ing experiments. This thing is noisey enough without another fan (NB) in there.
I'm up to 450 FSB (7x multi) with my DS3. But I'm kind of worried about the effect this will have on my graphics card. I left the PCI setting to Normal and the Robust graphics setting to normal. Should I change these?
Im on he F5 and im still @ my wall which is 464X7 4-4-3-9
Try for 465 and itll crash on prime after about 5-10 mins :(
Ima keep trying different things though, I dont think im beaten at all..
This is def a mobo limitation for sure..
Cpu @ 1.375 ram @ 2.2
Something is broken here but I don`t know what :p:
No cpu no screen
No ram no screen
Hmm ok, the cooler of the cpu stay`s spinning, normal it spins slowly after 5 sec but I don`t think a conroe cpu will die so fast, I`m thinking the mem is dead because on a new p5b vanilla I get the same results :rolleyes: .
How do you get a new i/o plate? Do i even need a i/o plate?

I'm using the F4 BIOS but I'm not sure if the F5 would make a difference. I also tried disabling all USB devices and such mentioned on other boards but to no available. I also attempted overclocking in Windows with Easytune 5, and if I go +5% or more overclocking and click Go I get a BSOD.
RAM shouldn't be a problem, i'm using 2GB of Corsair DDR2 800MHz @ 5-5-5-12 or something.

Damnit...I can't dual prime at 400 Mhz cuz of my proc. The memory is fine, but the proc fails the Small fft tests in Prime no matter what voltage I put it at..grrr....
Might just be Speedfan. Speedfan shows 4.76V for my 5V rail but the same Antec SP500W PSU read 4.95V on my old Albatron mobo. Speedfan also misreads both my fans by thousands of rpm and reads my 12V rail as 0.00V. Maybe version 4.30 will be better?Quote:

I'm not going to try to read this monster thread but just a quick question. What is the best bios for the ds3 so far ocing and accurate temp readings? Thanks
F5 is the safest bet
F5 helped me alot , before with my E6700 fsbwall @ 355 now 400 no problem 3200 mhz @ 1.33v :D ( air )
Max @ 1.57v all AIR 3850 mhz
( 2x cpu-z , forgot to set it on tab for memory )
So far for me F5 has also been the best bios i have used, ive used upto f6b.
F6b has caused me loads of problems........ X-fi stopped workign etc, and now even flashed back to F5 it wont work (recognises the hardware but cant install drivers)
oh well, price you pay I guess
hmm just received my new DS3 after I butchered my first one trying to take off the backplate for the big typhoon...one thing i noticed in CPU-Z it shows my chipset revision as C2. On my old board it showed C1.
http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/6214/untitledvb5.png
interesting.. it also shipped with the f4 final bios?Quote:

hmm right, i need better ram thats capable of 600MHz+
any suggestions?
Thanks for the replies. The f5 bios is what's flashed right now on the ds3 and the cpu is running 3.2ghz on a 6400 stock volts. I might push my lil brother to try to get 3.6ghz+ range (on stock big typhoon). Idle 40ish load almost 60c. Pretty high for the BT? I think so. I'm about to take it out to reapply. What you guys think?

Can the 965P DS3 boot into windows at full speed?
I'm asking because my DQ6 cannot. For example,
my E6600 can prime all day at 405 fsb, but I can't finish POST at anything above
379 ish regardless of Vcore. I have to boot at, say, 375, then once in windows, use a util such
as Clockgen to up the clock to 405. So my question is, does the 965P DS3 have the same problem, or is the max fsb for POST equal to or greater than
the max fsb once in windows?
why i am not stable at 3600mhz in my e6600 conroe, volts put at 1.435 and fsb 4000 mem 1:1.
i stable at 3300mhz v1.375
where did you buy it from??Quote:

I've never overclocked before, and I've reached 3.15GHz (450x7), dual 32M Pi Stable, running at 1:1 with timings of 4-5-5-12. Everything is stock; cooler and volts included (except +.4 VDIMM). I'm very pleased with this BIOS version. (Screenies soon.) I'm running PS/2 mouse and keyboard jacks just to be on the safe side.
BIOS options:
Disabled USB Legacy Support
Everything under 2nd tab
PCI-E freq at 100

And that's it.
The memory, at these speeds, will Memtest all day at DDR860 4-5-5-12. Nice.

Great, so now I have to pout and wonder what I'm missing out on my Rev 1.
Where do i go for a new I/O plate? Accidently ripped my when taking out.
Also if zip-tie my fan to my northbridge and it says zip-ties can do upto 80c would it last at around 45-55c 24/7 for years to come?
hi,
I can't get to start my 965p-s3 with 2x1gb patriot PDC22G6400LLK. Mobo keeps rebooting every few seconds. Starts fine if I put some cheap memory into the 1st slot and then it shows that it runs on 533mhz.
I've tried to increase Dimm voltage while booted in working memory configuration, and then reboot only with those patriot DImms - same story.
Looks like as soon as the motherboard sees changed memory configuration, it resets my settings and after that it can't get it to start.
I'm trying to figure out if they just don't like eachother (FAQ says that the symptoms of mobo not liking memory) or something is wrong with either motherboard or dimms. I'm curious if it's "dislike" case - perhaps, something that gigabyte is able to fix in future bios releases...
anyone experienced the same? any ideas?
what bios version are using? :) its useful to put it in your sig.. :)

Looks like I'm gona have to reset CMOS, which is a pain because I'll have to remove my vid card.
Also, when changing DDR voltage, does it add the amount to 1.8v, i.e if I chose +.02, it will give 2.0v?
Sorry if its already been answered, cant find any info. Oh yeah, Yellow or red DIMM slots, any advantage to using either?
HEy, dublin gunner my ds3 is showing F3 in windows but in bios it shows F5. Yup thats how ddr voltage works.
Hey guys, didnt want to make a new thread but here goes:
Im running into an FSB wall @ 370 fsb... it is 100% stable here, but when i go to 380 fsb the pc will just lock up and sometimes reboot.
Here are my specs:
E6400 (tried 2 of these, also tried multis 6-8x, vcore 1.3-1.5v)
DS3 (tried bioses F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 and several betas in between)
OCZ pc6400 plats 2x1gb (rev 1) (have also tried micron value ram)
x1900xt (tried 6800gt, x1300 pro)
thermaltake toughpower 750w (also tried other psus)
In the bios i also disabled legacy usb, EIST and all that
Has anyone here been at a wall at about the same speeds and found a way around it?
Thanks
Have you set the pci-e to 100Mhz?
Crspy, cheers m8.
Crankybugga, what sort of temos are you getting on idle/load with 1.475?
I'm a little reluctant to start cranking the voltage past 1.4 until the AS5 set in..

I've got a question for you guys: I bought a DS3 myself this week and i've put an E6400 on it. With the cooler it came with (Intel BOXed) the BIOS reports a 42-43 degrees celsius CPU temperature. Is it normal?
What for temperature get you with CoreTemp ?Quote:

One thing I have noted though. The NB heatsink is totally inadequate. I tied a 60mm fan on it, and it now stays cold to the touch, and I've had no re-boots or stability problems since. (I had to 'ghetto' the lead into a 4 pin molex though, have it @12v, gonna change it to 5v should be plenty to keep it cool)

That is perfectly normal. In fact it is not normal to show OK there if you`re using 2.1V instead of 1.8 but that`s our DS3. It just does so.Quote:

Or have you re-engineered your NB heatsink and inserted a new heatpipe?
2. Has the other end of the heatpipe been inserted through the fins of the TTBT? If so, did you simply drill through the fins and insert the heatpipe? ...depending on above, drilled through NB heatsink too?
3. Have you used anything (glue, solder, etc) to affix the heatpipes to their counterparts?
Actually, looking at the picture again I can see some of the answers, but if you don't mind, please humour me. I can see potential for more innovative mods coming my way ;)

I think its a bios setting or something to do with it not properly setting the NB strap, since most problems happen at ~360-399 fsb for other people. Setting 400 or 401 fsb is simply a no go, most of the time i can post but it will restart as windows is loading.
Any ideas?
contect gigabyte technical support, and explain the problem to them. The more of us write to them, the bigger possibility, that they will slove the problem. Many people have had the same problems with theit graphics cards working using x1 link mode, including me and my 7900GT.Quote:
