Official GIGA P35-S3/DS3/DS3R/DS3P/DS4/DQ6 bios/info thread

[Richard Dower]

OK, so i am using beta F5g bios and have upgraded to the Corsair PC2-8500 (1066Mhz) memory as recomended on the Gigabyte QVL. I've come to the conclusion that my CPU is limiting my FSB and won't go above 450FSB....no matter what setings/voltages pumped through bios.

I can get 3.4GHz ok, thats still pretty good considering...maybe if i pumped 1.5-1.6V through the Vcore i get higher...but those voltages scare me.

My ethos is, the best performance with as little voltage mods as possible. So i've been working on the memory and FSB/DRAM ratios to see where i can get.

So right now i'm at 3.420GHz with 380x9 and 1.400V Vcore. Memory is running at 1140MHz with 2.250V. I'm using the 3.00 ratio in bios. Performance set to Standard, not sure about setting Turbo...possible stability issues when overclocking?

Can someone take a look at my Everest benchmarks and see if it's good or bad?
