Gigabyte EP35-DS3P Overclocking issues

[slugzkea]

UPDATE:

Okay I figured it out. the FPS drop is caused by too much northbridge and FSB voltage.

This board does not need much increase, I was able to sustain 4.07ghz without touching the northbridge and FSB voltages.

I've read in other forums that in order to achieve +4ghz with DS3 boards, you need 0.30 past default on FSB and northbridge. Well with this board, that is wayyy too much.

Now at 4.43ghz, my FSB is at 1.50 past default, and my northbridge is at 1.50 past default.

So the FPS drop issue is northbridge thermal-throttling i guess.


UPDATE: Reduced NB and SB voltage to 1.0 past default due to instability issues.
Now to run some benchmarks! (y)
