those p5b sites say july 24th as eta.... blah
screwwww it, just ordered the DS3. wont get the chip for a while, but it gives me time to tweak the case layout before the e6600 comes. I also dont risk them running out...

I think it will work fine, but you wont be getting the best out of your OCZ's with this processor though. But who cares, it's about the cheapest processor you can get, and you can have some fun with it till your conroe arrives :DQuote:

I just checked the Gigabyte site and yes the ds3 (p965) does support this celeron. As I remember a bunch of other pentiums 5xx and 6xx were also supported but you may want to double check.Quote:

if these crazy clocks are a result of the solid capacitors, gigabyte is genius. It obivously didn't increase board cost significantly, but made great OCing.
There's almost no difference between the boards so all boards should be able to do 485 FSB with the right cooling and BIOS I think.Quote:

i have this board with corsair 8000UL, and yeah picking memory is painful
dont get patriot PC7200 2 x 1GB, i tried it it wont boot
also 2 x 1GB OCZ 6400 works i think , but i returned it for less capacity but better RAM 2 x 512MB corsair 8000 UL
heres a screen of it runniin pentium d 920 3.8GHz 24/7 stable (yes i know its low cuz i have bigtyphoon not tower 120)

boy i wish theres a ratio to let me set RAM to 1000Mhz. i heard the timing is like 5-4-4 something
P965 express is the full name. They just didnt write it out on the oneQuote:

anyway, i think this board can OC netburst pentium d just as good as any other board on the market (on air :X). hopefully it will OC well with retail conroe... cuz that guy has ES right?
i meant how high did you get your ds3's fsb to goQuote:

Anyone see specific problems mounting certain air coolers on this mobo. I was thinking of picking up an ultra 120 or something around that price range.
Should be fine. Only problem I see is you might need extra space between the board and the Power supply to fit your big cooler.Quote:

I just bought some Corsair DDR2 800 C4, so i hope that works with the DS3 or P5B
On newegg its a $20 instant discount.
newegg is nuts.... my ds3 shipped already
i just refuse to spend any more money on this whole conroe thing until some decent boards come out.
all these companies making absolute crap boards.
jesus makes me wish i had stuck with DFI and AMD ggrrrr
keep chiming in guys on this board cuz ill nab one of more people get the same results.. even if it is a little slower then the asus or intel or whatever other pile is out there
we love newegg for their craziness :woot:Quote:

hes P5W DH died just like mine ... leave him alone
ctrl + f1 to set timing yay
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=105495
a little better timing, ill see how low i can go with corsair 8000UL
oh and yes OCZ 6400 2 x 1GB will work. However im not sure which timing .. 5-5-5-15 i think thats the one i had
Looking forward to your results. Do you have a CPU to test it with? Please keep us updated. :toast:Quote:

3-3-3-9 is the lowest i can go with corsair 8000UL on GA-965-DS3 for now, hopefully memset will support 965 soon
Anyone here has the DS4?
I'm asking because it's only 25€ more and it has 2 PCI-E x16
//EDIT: After checking Gigabyte's site, they're not x16, only x16+x4 so no CF here. I guess I'll buy the DS3, 144€ is 100€ less than my other option, the P5W-DH Dx. I'll get better RAM instead.
Man, Conroe hardware is going to appear 2 weeks later in Spain. Heck, I've asked in street shops and they doesn't even know what's this Conroe or Core 2 Duo :D
In one shop they even tried to "teach" me the only dual cores are the Pentium Ds :ROTF:
Kind of waste since it doesnt support Xfire.Quote:
