    I have an issue, not sure when it started doing it, but for some reason whatever I set my fsb to in the bios, like say, I set it to 400, when I reboot it reports it as 399, and it says the same in windows. wtf? f6 bios, and it worked fine before.

    does anyone have DVI issues?

    I have a ds3 and a x1800xt, and is I use DVI cable i get no image at all. either in bios or windows, i get no image output trought the DVI.

    if i use dvi to VGA converter, it works fine.

    I tested this vga card in p5wdh and p5b and it works just fine.

    is there any bios or some setting to solve this problem?

    i'm using lastest bios on site. F6

    Do you have BIOS set to PEG graphics first? Tried pushing the button on your LCD to switch from analog (VGA) to digital (DVI)?

    I've had real "rocket scientists" not try the second one and claim the computer or monitor was broken...

    Memory Timing

    Sorry if this is a stupid question but can someone provide a basic overview of how much impact memory timing has on system performance. I'm running my DS3 at a mild overclock with the clock frequency increased from 266 to 320 Mhz so my E6600 is running at 2.88GHz. I've also set the memory multiplier (or whatever it's called) to 2.66 so my Corsair XMS 6400C4 memory is running at 851MHz (51Mhz over the stock speed of 800MHz). I have all of the memory parameters in BIOS set to auto except for the DIMM voltage which is set to +0.2 so the memory is running at 2.0 volts.

    When I check the memory settings using CPU-Z it indicates that the memory timings are set to 5-6-6-20 whereas the memory is rated to run at 4-4-4-12. The system seems to be running perfectly at the current settings but I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble to try running the memory at a slower speed (i.e. change the multiplier to 2.5 so the memory is running at 800Mhz) and start playing around with the settings for timing or is it better to run it at the faster speed with the current timings.

    Thanks in advance for your help and I'm sorry if I got any of the terminology wrong (I'm new to overclocking and still trying to make sense of all the variables involved).

    Yes, there will be a performance improvement with tighter timings.

    However, the amount of that is contentable. You should have better results by having your memory divider at 1:1 (if possible ).
