Can the people trying to oc the Pentium D print up a vcore graph. speedfan would give this
Just picked up my Mobo and must go back to UPS and pick up the PSU after 8:00 CST.
Just got my DS3 in today, good board as far as I can tell. But limited BIOS (F1 flashing to F2 soon), and not alot of fan connectors. :(
My 805 runs hot as a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:. 55C idle. :O
OK - im aiming on WC kinda like 400-430 FSB with 6300 and DDR800 - is it doable on that setup ? (wc cooled ?) will DS3 do good ?
flash to F3, the temp sensor in bios in mine is f'd too (reads 63c idle in bios for my bs celeron) but the actual temp is around 32c idle (mbm and the gigabyte overclock tool in windows list it as that).

aaaarrrrgggggggggggggg
I think my DS3 died...
I left it running dual prime this morning with the settings in my screenshot up there ^^
it ran for about 4 hours, then the comp reset. I came back another 2 hours later and it wont boot. Actually when i first got back i could hear it boot into windows (played startup sound) but it had no video. now I can't POST with anything. RAM and video card test good in a different computer. Either the CPU or motherboard is fried.
I guess I'll just wait for my conroe... if it doesnt work then I need to RMA the board.
I like AMD overclocking more... at least when that stuff is unstable it just crashes.
that sux :( :( :( :(
I ve got a E6600 stepp 5 For some days of testing :D
Let's see what it can do....
Thanks to quent ;)
first : FSB (max or boot) depends of the cpu you got.
My 6600 can actually boot at 400X9 without a little problem
But it can't not do as my 6300 do : 475 boot no pb.
Even with 7X it can't boot over 420 directly (from 266 to 420 without stepp) but sometimes it's ok :D.
But it's not really a problem for me, just set the frequency and pray , thanks to Easy tune :)
No more word, just numbers, all aircooled :

Need some cold :D
Chip is maxxed ( 35°c here), i'm not FSB limited here :)

Has anyone been experiencing issues with IDE drives (optical drives) defaulting to PIO mode? Or has there been weird occurences of IRQs being assigned to too many devices?
I know these issues were reported earlier.

So the E6600 can boot at 400? I'm assuming that 450 MHz is with Easy Tune? This HAS to be able to be fixed with a BIOS update... I'm so tempted to pick up this or the Abit instead of paying an extra $100 cdn for the Asus...Quote:

now i'm at 2.7ghz, 386x7, 1.375vcore, +0.2vmch, 2.1vdimm..
it means you've overvolted the vdimm :)
owh thx a lot misteroadster~ and it just a reminder rite? nothing serious for us in XS
did you test your PSU ?Quote:

In the beginning it was having problems starting up also, it would boot up for like a sec, then turn off and 5 sec later boot up completely (using bios f3). Any ideas what to do?
I'm wondering if I can fit a Scythe Mine and one of those Thermaltake Spirit NB coolers on this board at the same time...
I'm using a Ninja on mine, but be aware that it hangs over the northbridge a bit, maybe a centimeter or so if I recall correctly. There isn't much clearance above edge of the stock northbridge heatsink and the bottom of the Ninja.
I put everything in an Antec Solo case. Don't make the mistake I did and install the cpu/heatsink before the power supply. I couldn't get my power supply past the installed Ninja. Doh!
Otherwise, have to say the DS3 has been a great mobo. Zero problems with it. Not a single hang or crash, and that's with a temporary 3.2 GHz celeron OC'd to 3.85 GHz (waiting on an e6600). I could have clocked it higher, but it's Celeron which has crappy performance in games anyway and there didn't seem to be much point...
guys, anyone here with e6300 and ds4 /ds3.. can u guys let me know what voltage r u using @ 2.7ghz? i'm already set the vcore at 1.4, vmch +0.2, vdimm 2.2v but still cant make it stable.. the temp is ok.. full load @ max 45c..
what fsb?Quote:

sweet thanks. I went for a E6300 and decided to get this RAM even though it's a bit pricey because the low multi needs high FSBQuote:

my ram limits my B1 to 2.3GHz until monday :)
drop the multi to 6x and test your RAM clocks first
I think step 6 will be about the same on average as step 5Quote:

irenic do you have a stepping 5 or 6? your sig says stepping 5 b2? stepping 5's are b1.
eh my bad. mine is stepping 6. :D
if you have not yet flashed to f3 bios, try that, maybe that will help.
already have retail? let's see some clocks :banana:Quote:

whoops, thought u had a ds3 lol, i must have been looking at ur sig and wondering why you put stepping 5, b2 earlier lolQuote:

yeah.. and i hope it's not possible. Hopefully gigabyte wont miss the chance to be the best overclocking board for both rich n poor guys like me :D
anyone elses ds3 report the wrong cpu temp is bios (but not in windows)? I'm running my shtty celeron at stock volts and its listed as an incorrect 70c in bios. Windows however lists the correct voltage.
Yes, but now the gigabyte program doesnt work at all for me anymore, just comes up with the windows thing saying its had to close. :(Quote:

i havent installed a probe yet simply because a probe on a 775 cpu isnt very easy. not only that a probe on a cpu with the IHS still attached isnt very accurate.
from what i can tell its reporting the temps right on the money or awefully damn close.
not if you compare it to coretemp ;)Quote:

you pretty much have to install it when the system is not overclocked.
then it will run fine even when overclocked.
the gigabyte utility is pretty useless, i wouldnt even bother with it.
just use FSBSet for 965.
well using gigabyte easytune5, my idle temp now is 32c (on wc) but using the software "CoreTemp beta 0.9.0.91" my temp now is 50C..

ya, easytune and mbm list it as 34c idle or so and the in bios system temp lists it at 75c idle sometimes... something is wrong :)

maybe it is tapping the probe, its not a hard thing to do.
but, my reason for siding against coretemp is that i have too many trusted voices that are saying not to use it thats it is innaccurate.
but either way fellas. i truly believe the gigabyte baord is nailing the temps right on the head.
it's funny how you feel strongly about something without anything to back it up with except your "intuition". I find it hard to believe particularly after your little incorrect theory about the fan over RAM and chipsetQuote:

well i always try to believe the one that shows higher temp bcoz it's not bad too believe the worse thing since it will make i become more careful instead of believe the one that make me think i'm safe and good :D
but when i was running dual prime, the temp in coretemp was 52-53C but when i put my hand around the processor area, i couldnt feel any heat around that area. I'm really sure i'm suppose to at least feel a bit hot at that area since this is the same wc setup with my previous opty 170 rig and i could felt the heat around the waterblock when it was at full load (temp around 42C)
you can calculate your temps within a few degrees based on parameters you already have available............but then again if i was to post the formulae maybe Lestat might be put off with math and all :p:
Well the math is pretty simple:Quote:

Junction_Max_temp is written in a MSR and it depends on the processor core.
Delta_Temp is reported in another MSR and is written by the diode thermal probe inside the processor.
So if you say that this prog is not accurate, then you're saying that the thermal diode inside the CPU is not accurate.
Why do you need to be rich to get better RAM? My TEAM DDR2-667 3-4-4-8 was under $200 shipped and will go to DDR2-900+. It's sold out, but I'm sure other opportunities like that will come around.Quote:

btw i'm still a student.. :D
After looking at your sig, I'm a little perplexed why you have ValueRAM in the first place. DS4 instead of a DS3, X1900XTX instead of an XT, Watercooling, etc. etc and ValueRAM? I think your predicament could have been avoided. Good luck though.
because some of them are from my previous rig..
ds4 and ds3 just differ around $100 (my currency) here and i need that firewire. this watercooling is a combo with my previous casing (3d aurora)..
x1900xtx instead of x1900xt is because at that time there were only 5 xt and 5 xtx came to my place.. all xt were reserved so i had no choice.
I hope i make myself clear hehe..
by the way i just check the ram u mentioned, and price after converting + shipping is $1200 (my currency);)
anyone running a ultra-90 or ultra-120 on this board? I am thinking about getting one of them but not sure if it will clear the big ugly nb heatsink.
i am aimin E6400 8 x 480 ( some where close to that )
i see no reason to get E6600
Can you touch circled areas at load?
I can't keep finger for more than 1 second there, so be warned!
If they are not hot try increasing vcore to 1.5-1.55V and run prime or any other stress test.
http://xs304.xs.to/xs304/06305/DS3hot.jpg
all you need is a TT Big Typhoon and that's it.......you're done with cooling......you can bend the fins to cool MCH on a side as wellQuote:

I already have BT but it doesn't matter, they are hot as hell :D Noticed that when installed CPU water block. I don't have temp monitor atm but I am guessing they are at least 70C, either BT or water
very stupid question about this motherboard but is it crossfire or sli?
Neither.
sli is for suckers
Big Typhoon is cooling Northbridge as well (since it blowing air at the mobo)?Quote:

i'll check that when i do my testing next week witha temp probe :)Quote:

Eventually (when my OC skills get better) I'm thinking maybe a NB cooler may be good with this mobo. But I'm not sure that is why I'm asking for opinions.
I got one too a while back and it did 3800 very easy.Quote:

EDIT, it was the GA-8INXP board and the GB chipset was e7205...
WIll DS3 allow ram to run slower then the fsb
not at the momentQuote:

Also, looks like ill get getting the 6400 2gbhz from gskill. Any opinions on that? seems everyone here is happy with them. i need at least 480FSB! ^_^
Microcool makes PLL and mosfet coolers made specifically for, well, PLLs and mosfests.Quote:

It was all new to me then. :-)
ill get this + E6400 or E6600 and wait for kentsfield and RD600 (or MSI 975, its like the best board)
Heres a couple of screenies of what my e6300 OEM has been doing on my DS3 (revision C1). The CPU is at stock voltage while the PCI-E, Frontside bus and G-MCH have all benn over volted my +0.1V. Do you think this is safe to run 24/7
http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...fy2006/wow.jpg
http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...y2006/wow2.jpg
looks good, sure it can't get up to 3.5? :)
I think it will get there, just think we need a more mature bios first, any ideas though if its safe to run 24/7 at that speed with those voltsQuote:
