Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, Pretty good start

[hookid]

In the DS3's manual it says the FSB can be set UP TO 600!

So I'm wondering if the 4mb cache models have the same deep overclocking abilities as the E6300 and E6400?

Ok, I'm a noob at overclocking but just from my basic understanding of the mechanics here there may be a heat/frequency power ceiling that affects the E6600 more than say the E6300/E6400.

Personally I think the E6400 is a great match for this motherboard but I want to see the performance difference the extra L2 cache gives on the E6600.

already send the BIOS to your email.

gogogo, Lets see the new OCs using the new bios. Where did you get the new bios?

[hookid]

I just bought a DS3 and a Celeron for $201 to keep me entertained until conroe gets here. I wouldn't be able to live until August 8th with this AMD 1500+

[Benny Lodewijk]

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.

[Lestat]

not.... 516 - 1032 @ 3-4-4- with 667 memory ? im doubtful... that would potentally beat the gskill 6400 stuff and thats only 2x 512meg sticks.

seems,,, odd...

whats your max FSB ......

[Brahmzy]

Is it true the DS3 cannot give more than 2.0V for the Memory?

I've got OCZ Plats that need 2.1V just to work.

no. my team can works at 2.4 volt (maks BIOS)

Guys,

i have F3a BIOS for GA-965P-DS3. If you want, just PM me. I'm using it now but i can't see the difference since i'm just using PD 820

Overclockers have the DQ6 version

Hicookie is having problems with his DQ6, plus this board can hit 500+ fsb and the DQ6 doesnt offer anything else apart from the usual fancy stuff like extra sata and some nice heatpipe cooling then its not worth the money imo

That's totally unrealistic! There is probably something seriously wrong with this board. Maybe something with the nb-latency's.

I have the same ram.
I need 2.26v to do 840MHz 3-4-4-8!
And you get to 1032MHz with only 2.1v!

OK! How about this



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

[Owen1978]

This is crazy!

[Benny Lodewijk]

anyone have DQ6 and DS4 ?? I have E5 BIOS version for DQ6 and D5 version for DS4. Just PM me.

Try that on an other board, you'll see it's impossible.

I think Gigabyte eases on latency's that much to make something like this possible.
This is just frequency, not performance.

maybe you're right....i need new memset support i965 to make sure about this.

[SMa]

Here is somthing to prove my statement,
you guys say 1050MHz 3-4-4-8 is possible with < 2.2v

I remember VictorWang achieved 1120MHz 3-3-3-8 with 2.7v
Intel D975XBX mod
Team DDR2_667 1g*2, very small but strong D9s
vdimm=2.7v @.@

[Pandamonia]

can someone please Rape a E6600 on one of these Ds3's cus i would like to know max FSB.

i ent buyin a 6300 or 6400, the E6600 is the weapon of choice!

So many of us would appreciate if someone could try a almost retail E6600 ES on one of these.

As i really dont wana buy the new Anus P5W

[K.I.T.T.]

PLEASE

can someone with this board and an E6300 run Super Pi 1M @ 400 x 7 with RAM @ 4-4-4-8 ?
