i'm @ 444 fsb lol
i i set cpu milti to 7 it dont feel fast
superpi 512=7seconds
1m=17 seconds

Detailed P35-DQ6 review, they only reached 482FSB:

http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2118

I'm staring to think it could veyr well be CPU limitations.

[zsamz_]

well i found my sweet spot for daily use
415fsb 7multi 4-4-4-12 cpu:1.35v ram:2.1
then i use easytune if i want more juice
i got it @444fsb now n time to sleep lol
motherboard 35c cpu 42c

coretemp shows 42 n easy tune showin 25c

which one to trust lol no way cpu @25c

[Brama]

coretemp shows 42 n easy tune showin 25c

EasyTune is completely crazy about cpu temp

[Richard Dower]

I'm not even gonna worry about FSB because 45nm is due kinda soon. I was thinking about buying a new E6420...but nah.

Is Gigabyte P35-DS4/DQ6 support PCI-E v2 card. I can't find any PCI-E v2 info in the manual/product box or Gigabyte website.

How about Asus P5k Deluxe or other?

I hope you'll like the BIOS.....

[Richard Dower]

PCI Express 2.0?....no, you have to wait for boards based on the the X38 chipset.

GA-P35-DS3P has 2 pci-e slots crossfire ready

any suggestions for improvements?

Hello.

Yesterday arrived my new mobo Gigabyte P35 DS4. My first impression is great (probably the best board I have ever had).

My problem is when I run Orthos at 475FSB * 7, Everest show 65º in System Temperature and 64º-65º In CPU. I have a Thermalright Ultra 120.

Temps in previous motheboard (Asus P5W DH Deluxe) was 45º in system amb 59-60º in CPU when ran orthos.

Is this normal ?


Sorry by my bad English

What util do you use to measure the temperatures?
I have GA-965P-DS3 and when I changed the BIOS(F10 to F11), the EasyTune5 utility started to show temperatures of both the CPU and the northbridge higher for about 7'C. The BIOS is also showing higher temperatures, but I am sure the temperatures are the same as with the F10.
Try SpeedFan or CoreTemp.

BTW, I've ordered a P35-DS4 and it will arrive for about 10 days.
I want to know, what settings and voltages have you used to achieve 475MHz FSB?

[yenclas]

FSB + 0,05
vMCH + 0,05
VDIMM + 0,45
VCore 1,400

[megatron]

I think it depends on the CPU and the default multiplier as in this post:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...70&postcount=8

I can run 375 x 8 but I cannot boot at 375 x 7! If u do the math the NBCC is running higher, thats the only difference. With the e2160 default multi is x 9.

@hiwa
Can you please make some tests with these settings:
CPU: 3.2GHz(8x400MHz)
RAM: 800MHz CL4 4-4-12
Memory Performance Enahnce(in BIOS): Turbo

That's how my system is running and I am curious how it will perform with the P35-DS4 when it arrives.

Thanks

[CERO]

Dont know who/what ever to believe, some guys said that the Gigabyte memory is a "mess", memory wont o/c and compability problems, Thats why I ordered ASUS P5K deluxe, after some readings, I realize that the Asus cooling really sucks, MOSFETS getting very hot, and they got some RAID probs, I am using a pair of Mushkin XP8500(D9MGH) is there anyone who can confirm it will work with the Gigabyte, atm that is holding me back to pick Gigabyte, I got to know today, So i can change my order tomorrow (last date), because I already payed :X So Any help much much much appreciated!!!

I am in a very stressing situation now, I already ordered a ASUS P5K deluxe, and payed, But it isnt shipped yet, So i got to know( today death line), so i can change my order, after some more research I found out that the the Asus is extremely hot espacially the MOSFET area is abnormal hot, and it got RAID probs, So this is really a last minute decision, what was holding me back to choose gigabyte was that I reallty dont know who to believe, but some said pick asus because Gigabyte memory is a mess, and got compability issues. I got now a Mushkin XP8500 ( D9MGH) ordered on my way now, Do u know if this Ram would work unlike some corsairs:X, and Gigabyte got no RAID probs right? And what is your view up on this. Shall I cancel change and pick the Gigabyte or Stick with the asus deluxe, man I hope u can awnser this , since u tried the DQ6 etc. Any help man would be much much (1000X) appreciated,

I have pc-6400 crucial ddr2 ballistix. It works well on P35-DQ6. So far I have 562Mhz with 1.95v. I think its also the same chips since micron owns crucial.

I heard u can change the SPD programming of RAM if u wanted to.

Thanks,
We have different SuperPi versions. On mine( Super Pi / Mod 1.5 XS) it needs 16.302s.
Sandra scores are the following:
CPU Arithmetic: Dhrystone: 29310, Whetstone 20531
CPU Multimedia: Int: 176551, FPU(iSSE2): 95354
Multi-Core Efficiency: Bandwidth: 9457 MB/s, Latency: 56ns

Memory Latency: Random: 91ns, Speed Factor: 89.3
Memory bandwidth: Int: 6110MB/s, Float: 6114MB/s

I did the benchmarking on Vista Ultimate 32bit. I guess you were benching on the same OS. If yes, then it P35-DS4 seems to be up to 2% faster than 965P-DS3. It is not a significant improvement in performance, but we'll see how it OC's with Kentsfield on watter.

[gooface]

i have a question, other than the DDR3 what does the DDR3 ver of the DS3R have over the non DDR3 version? because theres like a $50 difference in price, or is the DS3P worth getting over the DS3R performance and OC wise?
