Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, Pretty good start

[misteroadster]

no we can't because Tras can't go under 9 , i can choose less but don't work

Not optimised at all , Old win xp pro install :





Bios F3a helps me for this time (-0.3s better about) :

[K.I.T.T.]

Thanks mr roadster

whats the max you can do prime stable? I'll hopefully be reviewing this board soon for maxitmag and am looking forward to some good results

[misteroadster]

can you tell us what was the result with the asus please, for the community
Max prime is 3330 Mhz about.

[K.I.T.T.]

here you go mr roadster:



with lots of rubbish running in the background.

Max prime:



fastest pi time:



The mobo isnt stable above 400 MHz FSB

I can only run Pi 1M @ 411 x 7

[misteroadster]

Okay so the DS3 is not so bad compared @ P5W-DW clock for clock
Can you retry spi 1M @ 2800 without all those programs in background ?

Het K.I.T.T.,
In your top of the 3 last pics, what's that digital temp/volt utility on the upper right hand side of the screen? I like the looks of it.
Can I downl;oad it somewhere?

[Waus-mod]

Mad fsb

please take a 6600 step 5 cpu

It comes free. When you buy an Asus mb.

[misteroadster]

Thanks kitt, it seems the performance are really close beetween those 2m/b, if i could lower the tras under 9 i would probably have the same 20.0s

[Benny Lodewijk]

nice misteroadster

[Freebo]

whoa, some close times, is this the ds3?

[Mr. Popo]

Yep...

[Freebo]

Ok, so is it realy worth the money? if you look at my thread do you recon i could get the fsb up to max that ram out on the DS3??

[celerity]

Anyone tried DS4 yet?

[Cranox]

******* deleted ******* ( didnt see there was a page 6 )

[Lestat]

bennie if that ram you got ther eis legit and not being misread then i now offically hate you bro.. hate hate hate!!! heheh j/k

what exact ram was that can you link me to it on pricewatch or newegg ?

keep the results coming in guys and dont forget.
are you guys raising the pci-e freq also ? on my DH i have to raise it to around 107mhz to go above like 400.

video stability used to suffer but not now you can go kinda high and only see an increase in performance, i think i saw some people saying like 115mhz before video went wacky but that of course is a case by case basis

i know MY DH i can only hit like 410mhz and then thats all she rfuses to boot after that.

I'm building on this mobo right now. (First computer build)

As far as memory installation goes: red slots or yellow? The manual doesn't seem specific on which ones to use first (just that they need to be the same color for dual channel mode)

P.S. I have two memory sticks (OCZ PC2-6400 Platinum)

shouldn't matter. usually using the lower numbered pair first is better. look for the labels on the PCB

one thing for sure. F3a BIOS improve memory overclocking ability. Before i just can pass PI 16M @ DDR2-1032 3-4-4 with Team Xtreem DDR2-667 2GB kit 2.1v. But now i can pass PI 32M easily. Same setting off course.

OK! How about this

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...izeofDS304.jpg

i'm using Corsair 6400C3. Vdimm 2.2 volt. Same mobo but different BIOS version.

Nah, not possible... CAS3.0 and too low volts to consider those clocks real. Maybe if it's in fact CAS4.0 instead, then that looks to be doable...

That on the other hand is a nice 1M, mister

[misteroadster]

thx bachus

I'd like to have a 6600 or more to play for real

[FELIX]

it seem that there is a problem with Cas Latency and some 965 motherboard.
Cas Register have all bits to 0,and 000 is 3 for Cas...

Will probably correct in next bios.

[K.I.T.T.]

So...would this mobo benefit from any vmods?

[Owen1978]

Im on the verge of ordering an E6400 someone give me a reason why i should'nt or someone give me a push!

For the love of god someone get an E6400 + DS3 and see how far it goes!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
