DFI 965-S is here! For sale @ ewiz

I think this is as high as I can go:



All voltages at stock except for:

CPU: 1.45v
NB: 1.35v
RAM: 2.10v

Can't seem to get my RAM stable at higher speeds or tighter timings even with more voltage. And my temps with a Tuniq aren't all that great (any recommendations on replacing the stock fan?) as it's starting to warm up in the midwest.

Either way I'm pretty happy as this same setup on a Infinity 975x could only hit 430FSB.

I lied



I'm over 9 hours Orthos stable at 3.73 (533FSB).

Voltages are currently:

CPU: 1.475
RAM: 2.25
NB: 1.45
VTT: 1.375
SB: 1.6

Haven't had a chance to lower volts just yet but I think some can be dropped.

Don't think I'll be able to go much higher as I'm getting to the limit of this RAM. Currently it's at DDR2-1066 5-5-5-15.

@Dark79:

Can you try large FFT's? I thought I was stable at 500x7, passed blend, small FFT and OCCT for >12 hours, but large FFT always fails in an hour, more or less.

I'll try this when I get home, but I think this board is just quirky with some tests.

EDIT: Same problem. Large FFTs always fails. Strange

Dark79, looks very nice! I'll post some better results with my board when I get the Tuniq

Planning on using the stock Tuniq fan? I'm using a tri-blade delta fan, but I need something better. My temps haven't increased much after changing from the stock fan to the delta fan and switching from AS5 to Shin-Etsu even though I've increased FSB and voltage.

But I'm not all that confident that a 3-blade fan is able to push sufficient air through the Tuniq fins plus is loud
