$100 mobo @ FSB485:)

[Death^Dread]

I'm probably going to get this with an e6300 as well. Looking forward to 24/7 3GHz

[serious1]

i think i'll get this mobo with an E6400 to go with my Big Typhoon and D9 ram. anyone know if they are compatible(ram with mobo)?

[Cpt Twitchy]

What are the tightest timings you can run on this mobo?

Thanks
Tim

I've read about the x6900... How on earth can I get MY hands on one?

What kind of temperatures are you getting on that e6400? Stock HSF + 1.525V can't be good....

[MAYBERA]

ı solved my problem guys . two dayz ago my corsaır memory came and ı ınstall ıt and ı know ıts gonna work than ı set fsb to 428fsb u know ıts equal to 3ghz and ı cant belıeve ıt works and thats my fırst try . but thats not stable coz memory cant work at 846mhz . ı gave 2.2v for memory and made ıt cas6-6-6-15 so now ıts rock stable but ı need better memory

cpu never reached 55C ....

[Dumo]

Congrats Mayberra you can try 2.4V.

Hi Dumo, just wondering if these sticks will work well with the S3 / DS3?

Open Multi 6~16...Better than most 975X boards

I will run it with better HSF or probly with subzeroes....Hope it has better life expectancy

isn't the open multi of 6-16 based on your ES 6800?...if i were to put a retail E6700 on this board, wouldn't i most likely see 10X down to 6X...am i correct?

Yes, you're correct. Only 6800 open-up multi.

How many fans can be used with this board? As I recall, the ds3 has place only for 2. Same here?

edit: same here...

[Radelon]

Is there a miracle bios for this board yet like the DS3? ATM I can run 9x410 all day long with my 6600 but it mem compatibility is a big issue and with 8x I can't go higher than 430.

[fscussel]

is it better than the DS3?

[alesr50]

This mobo seems nice!

I think, it will be my choice!

[GrimReaper]

is it better than the DS3?

hehe no

DQ6 << DS3 << S3 :P

the new p5b E also looks really good now

[deeznuts]

Are they ever gonna sell the DS4 in the states?

DUMO,

Could you please give some tips?
Just adquired 2 945PL-S3, motherboards, they only difer from yours as they dont support 1066 fsb, only 800.
I have tried to overclock an e6300, however from the initial 266 fsb, i can only get the mobo stable up to 270.

Its not the memory, since i have tested it up to 355 mhz! (multiplier 3/4 and no errors in memtest).

What am i doing wrong? I believe this one is weaker than your version, but from 475fsb to only 270? Does it get THAT bad?

PS: Here's a fellow with same board as you, and also some problems: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...hlight=945p-s3

Hope you or someone can help

[Dumo]

That is 945X. I haven't try it, dunno if the bios has the same settings.

[tvdang7]

so some 1 give me just 1 reason to buy the ds3 over this board.
if not then im set.

good question. this guy is smart to have asked. Too bad he recieved no reply

[JWilson]

At 1.50Vcore I was into the 50's... System was hanging pretty often even at 8x400... Water cooled now. 8x450 is low 30's..... NB needs a fan

[icywater]

I can only get 417 Mhz out of the board , i was hoping for more like 450 Mhz

[Dumo]

Mine is 6800 Stepping 5 B1 QPHV and CpuZ just followed which multiplier I ran.

Multi 8X - 6400 and multi 12X - 6900..

Heres multi 13X...

The 945P-S3 is not the same as the 945PL-S3. The 945P-S3 does support a 1066 fsb. I was able to get a 945p-S3 up to 387Mhz stable......the 945P is very sensitive to PCi-E frequency. It seemed my FSB would not go beyond 3x the value of the PCI-E speed. That held true up to the point where Vmch / chipset cooling became an issue. I'm sure 400Mhz + on the fsb is possible with a Vmch mod......no settings for this in the bios.

I just wonder, is it possible to flash S3 with a DS3 bios?

NO. It is not possible. It's not the same board and it's not going to be tricked into thinking it's the same board. You will get an error saying you have a Bios mismatch and then if you reset CMOS your board will simply no longer function. (You won't be able to get into bios because it's not the correct bios for the board.)
