Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 with Conroe

Is anyone using this board with a 6600 or 6700?

I have this mb and used it with a 326 with no problems. I put a ES6600 in it yesterday and if I try and oc it in the bios, it starts to post and then shuts down and goes back to default.
In windows with Easy Tune I can oc it OK. On the 326 I could oc it from the bios.
I have F3 bios now and had F2, both do the same thing.
The only thing I can change in the bios and have it boot is memory timings and voltages.

If you know what I'm doing wrong please help me.

nope no one except you :)

I like the bios on this board better then the Asus that was RMA but I sure can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. If the 326 would have given me trouble I would think maybe something was wrong with the board itself.
Here's the hw I'm using:

6600
2 x 1 Gskill F2-6400PHU2-BHZ 0606
OCZ 600 adj sli
Tower 120
Raptor 74

(Worried) UPS just dropped this board off on my doorstep 1/2 hour ago.

It's very strange issue, no problem with allendale.
Brahmzy you got a conroe ?

try every settings like PCI E clock or something. i think some dude got to 395fsb on E6600

Link or hearsay?

dogsx2 , with easy tune what's the max you can hit ?

flash bios to F3

http://asia.giga-byte.com/FileList/B...965pds3_f3.exe

If I change from 266 to even 267 it will post the first screen, start the second where it shows a higher FSB and then comes the click, reboot. That's with 9-8-7-6 multiplyer. I changed the PCI- MHZ and all the voltages.

I called Gigabyte and talked to a woman tech. Worthless, she said use easy tune and not bios to oc.

Why me???

AY- in my first post I say I have F3. Seem like it does help the reboots so you don't have to clear cmos. That's all I see.

Misteroadster- I only went to 3150 and stopped as this no bios oc is driving me nuts. I don't like using mb software to oc.

Don't fear , i will tell this to them , just hope this problem is not just your.
No doubt it's a bios issue, and it just to be known to be solved.

Which result with easy tune ?

André 400FSB is the max for you ? you don't have the same problem than dogsx2 ?

If I remember correctly ALT-F1 unlocks the advanced options.

Nop Ctrl + F1 , Gigabyte tradition :)

Yep, most people dont know the options are there.

yes , when i had my first giga , (K8N pro) i was quite astonished :D

Tuniq Tower 120 fits this board without any problems? Yay! :toast:

I can change timing settings and boot at 266. I glad to see that AY can change his bios. Here's a ss:

Memory is just on auto, got tired of changing them and not being able to boot with higher FSB.

Try to use Memory 1:1

andre, 400fsb is the max with the E6600 Step 5 ?

3.76ghz not bad...

I'm really glad i bought this board!

Should ds4 be any diferent for ds3 in therms of OC'ability?

well 418fsb is with ES5 chips, all i can say is expect less with retail...

and DS4 should be as good as this (but the extra PCI E ... i dunno )

but this E6600 can be FSB 433 on D975XBX.......

anyway.....FSB 400 is enough on 965 chip.

yea 3.6ghz is plenty for me :slobber:

Good Clocks on GB, AndreYang!! I think for many of us 3.6GHz Conroe will do the trick ;)

Same here, if i can run at E6600 with 9x400 = 3.6Ghz i will behappy. And 2GB of memory running at 4-4-4-12-1T @ DDR2 800...well pleased.

Hate to be a stickler, i dont think retail chips will be overclock as well as the ES B1 5 chips( After seeing the results for the retail X6800 box) ... most of u can kiss that 400fsb E6600 on tower 120 dream good bye unless ur willing to burn some more money on WC/phase/TEC cooling

let me repeat . i.m.h.o. it is not the best idea to judge performance of a cpu based on 2
retail units and to forget all the "notsooverwhelming" ES stepping 5 Conroes.

anyone place a bet with me that we will see hundreds of retail conroes overclocking just as fine as the stepping 5 ES in the weeks coming....

100$

lets hope so.......but i mean even if it is a little slower it can't be more than 200mhz i would think

can i join the club?

E66 ES + DS3 soon

no good about the issue you are having

i've got the same board >> just waiting on CPU on monday and will pick up some ram...........my cpu will be E6300 though.....

http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/2439/dsc03083px0.jpg

is the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 best choice for 965P chipsets over ASUS and MSI ?

I really like the all solid capacitors and the price is good also

ditto dinos22

only running a celeron 326 at the moment with some 5400UL but will get a E6300 es soon too

Andre. how much vmch u used for the 418fsb?

im on auto everything for 400 FSB and then my ram pukes out
its just generic 667 so 800 is good.
i gotta figure out which ram to get.
the teamgroup 667 or the gskill HZ 800 .... probably the 800 im thinking but i dont know.
once i get some good ram i will know for sure how far she can go.

i am very disappointed that you can not set the ram divider below 1:1 that really limits clocking for guys like me with generic crap ddr II.

but still 3.6ghz 400mhz FSB on auto everything and vcore @ 1.3
thats a pretty fair overclock, i just wanted to hit 4ghz and call it quits. lol.

really :banana::banana::banana::banana: i didn't know that

are you sure

I'm waiting to see how the DS4 is.

Keep pushing, you've almost inspired me to buy this board over the ASUS P5W DH.

Edit: Couldn't resist with it back in stock, ordered!

Got some ss?

vcore 1.38v
vdimm @ 2.3v
and auto for NB,PCI,FSB,CAS,etc

CPU Cooler : Thermalright HR-01 ( room temp 27C )

yeah i'll grab some tonight after work.

this whole thing with the voltages,, boy i sure hope they fix that, i mean seriously.. what the fvk does +0.1v 0.2v and so one mean ? wtf does it mean when you cant even set the base voltage and nothing in the bios shows you what the base voltage is ?

someone somewhere has to have exactly what these each mean exactly.

set the memory speed to 533MHz in bios and then overclock , it will give you divider

Keep posting CI2iminal, dont stop.

I must be the only guy to have gotten a bad mb. My luck with Intel mb's stinks. This one can't even hold Explorer at stock settings without it saying there is a problem and Explorer has to shut down.:mad:

I still can't raise the FBS to Even 267 and have it post.:(

Why me?:confused:

Looking good PcC:toast:

If I can run 450x8 on this board prime stable with the E6400 I'll be happy. Given people have gotten their to 480 or more, seems like it should be doable.

I'm fairly certain all these processors, from the E6300 all the way up to the X6800 have the ability to overclock to roughly the same level in GHZ, whether they can or not is dependant on the motherboard's ability to handle them and their FSB needs. How many are really going to be running prime stable at 4.5 ghz or something like that regardless of what chip they have?

3.6 is plenty for me... 450x8

my DS3 with E6600 ES step5 max fsb stabe coeff 7x:)

I can boot @ 414 but no more ..

I think with it's possible to make more

clockgen don't work with the same pll as the giga dq6

http://membres.lycos.fr/m4inaction/c...46%20prime.jpg

The thing that really makes me :mad: is it will prime at stock. I set it this morning before work and just turned it off a short time ago.

It's the only available (p5B just starting to show up) so yes it's the best choice since it's the only one..

it is not the only one, there is Abit AB9 Pro/ MSI P965 Platinum and both have been tested and didn't show decent results like the DS3
