Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, Pretty good start

[misteroadster]

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

This mobo don't need vmod , there is +0.3Vfsb and +0.3Vmch in bios

2V cpu is enough for you ?

The more I see this board, the more I like it.

Insane FSB!

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

The anandtech article yesterday has some interesting commentary on the 2mb vs 4mb cache difference. However the E6600 does give an extra multiplier.

Yeh but if it craps out at 3.6 ghz and the E6300 can reach 3 ghz with def vcore, i think it might be possible to get the E6400 upto 3.4ghz or more! for a cpu that costs £150 that is awesome!

My sentiments Amazing results till now. 501 FSB
BTW, anyone got ABIT AB9-Pro tested yet??

i get it (non-Pro) on monday or tuesday and then i test it with a E6400 ES

How about a vDroop mod?

I was looking around on Gigabyte's webpage and found that DQ6 board 'supports quad core CPUs'. How comes DQ6 supports quad core and DS3 and DS4 not? Don't they use the same chipset?

[Lestat]

because that is how they are gearing the DQ6 its made for the 'elite' so to speak.

if enough people get the DS3 and if its popular enough they may allow it.
but frnakly right now, on the P5W as far as i know all you need is a conroe bios to make the quad core work so. maybe the DS3 is just unofficially supporting it.

but im guessing there. maybe freecableguy will get a ds3 at some point and try it out.

By jeffchen :

6300 stepp 5

[petervandamned]

Would my 6600 es 5 work on this ?

[Lestat]

yes

the one right above you is a 6300 ES Stepping 5 B1 the same thing the 6600 ES chips are.
and its already been posted they work fine.

[Drow]

But how it works is the question? That means how high you can get the FSB with.
BTW: Has the E6600 4MB Cache or 2MB?

Jeffchen tested his intel press kit(white box) of 6600 4m(B1),also stuck at fsb399,

so wired, looks the issue limited 4mb l2 overcloking.

[misteroadster]

The max FSB depends directly from the luck you have when you choose your Cpu.
Dunno if the L2 size is important, we're waiting for results..

Here's 6400 by jeffchen too, same m/b :

[Lestat]

i just find that hard to believe dont you hicookie.. i mean seriously..
the cache isnt gunna kill the fsb THAT bad infact the way cpu's are these days the larger cache cpu's clock the same as the smaller ones.

i just find that so hard to believe... did he test that same cpu in another system and get above 400?
im asking if the cpu was flakey or not,,, not just the board.

could it be the lower multi and NOT the cache.. we already know from our AMD64 days that the lower multipliers or lowering the multi yields a higher fsb on many of the AMD chips.... .... ....

i cant drop the multi on my P5W DH not sure wtf the problem is with asus,, hiding the multiplier option but i dont even know if there is a tool in windows to change the multi.. ?

[Chri$ch]

can someone tell me which spec E6300 & E6400 ES Step 5 have?

[Kesnel]

It's insane how close this board is to the P5W DH clock for clock. The question is, how can the fsb go so high yet not lose out on performance?

Now if the retail E6400 does 3.9ghz im putting my order in ASAP!

[kman540]

Now if the retail E6400 does 3.9ghz im putting my order in ASAP!

3.9ghz - How sweet would that be for a cpu with an MSRP of $241

[Rol-Co]

Jeffchen tested his intel press kit(white box) of 6600 4m(B1),also stuck at fsb399,

so wired, looks the issue limited 4mb l2 overcloking.

so basicly......all 4mb cache chips are stuck on 400 fsb on this board? or is
there somebody reporting a higher fsb (400+) on this combo E6600+ gigabyte ?

[Metroid]

The remodeled Gigabyte boards support up to 600 FBS with a good bios, put that in mind. The only thing I ask to you all is wait for the bios revision until october and see for yourself..

So we might say it is a Giga core inside.
