Just had to post to say that I've got my new E8400 running at 4.05GHz on my DQ6 rev 1 with F12j bios...sweet!

Wow that's nice to hear the Wolfdales work.Good Job.I wonder if the Yorkfield quads would work on that?Like the qx 9650 or 9450.
Well I guess I answered my own question.The QX9650 does work DQ6 rev 1

Well time to post my results here

Hardware:
Mobo:Gigabyte 965P-DS3 revision 3.3
Processor:E8400 Stepping 6 Rev C0
Ram: 2x1Gb Corsair XMS2 PC6400 (DDR2-800) rated 4-4-4-12 @ 2.1v
PSU: OCZ 600w GameXstream
GPU: Geforce 8800 GTS 512mb (G92 core)
Cooling: Thermaltake Big Typhoon VX and extra fan on MCH
BIOS: F13Q beta

Results: (all voltages monitored with cpu-z 1.44.2 and temps with coretemp 0.98.1)

3.41Ghz,FSB 379,Mult 9x
4-4-4-12 @ 379 +0.3 ddr2 volts
BIOS volts 1.24375
Idle volts 1.200-1.216
Load volts 1.184
Idle temps: 37-39
Load temps: 56-56
Prime95 3h 30m stable

3.6Ghz,FSB 400,Mult 9x
5-5-5-18 @ 400 +0.4 ddr2 volts
MCH +0.1v
FSB +0.1v
BIOS volts 1.30625
Idle volts 1.264
Load volts 1.248
Idle temps: 35-39
Load temps: 59-59 max 61
Prime95 3h 30m stable

3.8Ghz,FSB 422,Mult 9x
5-4-4-12 @ 422 +0.3 ddr2 volts
MCH +0.2v
FSB +0.1v
PCI-E +0.1v
BIOS volts 1.38500
Idle volts 1.344
Load volts 1.312-1.328
Idle temps: 40-40
Load temps: 65-65 max 66
Prime95 9h stable
Orthos blend test 6h stable

Note 1: Temps are surely off by about +10C since the air coming out from my big typhoon isn't nearly hot for 60c and this kind of OC would never produce such heat with so good cooling Realtemp reports exactly 10c down,so I guess that's the real value

Hope this helps

Could anyone confirm 45nm CPUs are supported on the GA-965P-DS4 R1.0 with the latest bios F11 ?.

According to Gigbyte, it wont work but i saw people with E8x00 on their 965P-DS4 R1.0.

I dont mind to change the motherboard for a P35, but if the 8500 will work on my 965p, better .

[Bellisimo]

is the 965p-ds4 any good with wolfdales?

[Justigador]

There is a new bios update for p965 ds4 2.0, 12A, i dont know if i should upgrade from bios 11 before i put teh new e8400

Little bump, i have my 965P-DS4 Rev 1.0 sitting in the basement without any use at all, can anyone confirm if the wolfdales are working on the Rev 1.0 (C2)?.
