[Pjoeloe]

Anybody here who`s got a conroe e6400 OEM on this board running ?

i have , but i have gskill KLA 4200 DDR2-533mhz that suks a lot


but even with gskill LA PC 4200 i can run this:








but my friend aldo got a E6400 and DS3 but he have a better RAM ( Xtream Team DDR667 3-3-3-8 ) and he already got this :

what kind of cooling is your friend using?

same as i :


Watercooling in CPU and chip7 its with stock heatsink with a 50mm FAN

Quick question:

Does anyone have any idea where the Mosfets and PLLs are on this board?

nice, what is his max fsb of his ds3 ? And if you select a 1 : 2 devider, what is your max fsb than ?

I'm going to prime for a while, quickly shut down the computer, and use the touch test to find the hot chips, and sink them.

Can you guys share pics of how you have the BIOS set up? Either I have the crappiest E6300 on the planet or I'm doing something horribly wrong in the DS3 BIOS.

[theteamaqua]

yes this CAS auto to 3 thing is driving me nuts ... try set PCI-E to 100 no use, 105 no use

[gundersausage]

CPU-Z keeps saying my multiplier is 6 when it is actually 8???

And when i change anything in the bios (F3) it loses my hard drive???

it's because of EIST
turn it off in bios

CPU: E6400
Vcore: 1.325v

Memory: Gskill PC6400 HZ 2Gb
Vcore: 1.8v

Board: Gigabyte DS3
Vcore: default

I just mounted everything up, flashed BIOS to F3 and boot 400fsb. Stable!



I tested the memory and does 310x3 (930mhz) so correct me but does 465x2.

After this

vdimm:auto (does 310x3 so should do 465x2)
vmch: +0.1
vfsb: +0.1
vcore: 1.375v



And I hit a wall at 410. Cant boot with nothing beyond 410. Ain't it strange that does 400 in default and with +1 and +.05vcore reaches a wall 10 mhz up? Any ideias?

Depends how are you cooling NB. Add fan and increase volts to +0.3

[BottomsUp]

can people start including their system temps from easy tune in the screenshots?

NB is still on passve cooler. I have a Vantec NB cooler I might place. U think it is NB vdimm problem?

[Chri$ch]

i think i have a good E6400

VCore 1.325v (Idle ~1.33v / Load ~1.3v)
VDimm 2.2v
VMCH +0.1v
VFSB +0.1v

Guys, something just occurred to me at work, which means I can't check it out, but is it possible SATA is holding back my overclock? I'm stuck at a pathetic 300 x 7 on my E6300!

I think I might have messed up by using the ICH8 jacks instead of the two Gigabyte SATA2 connectors on the left. Now I have to wait 5 hours to see. Grrrrr.

What's the difference? I used the orange ICH8 jacks too, but i didn't know what was different.

[theteamaqua]

425 seem liek the fsb wall for E6400 mine stop going up after 425fsb 3.4GHz

what voltage, etc.. have you tried to get it higher?

The ICH8 jacks are controlled by the ICH8 southbridge. The Gigabyte jacks are controlled by Gigabyte's chip that also gives us PATA. I'm guessing the ICH8 jacks could cause problems if they're not locked properly. I don't see anywhere in the BIOS to lock the SATA frequency. I'm going to experiment later.

Yeah i noticed that too. I don't see a PCI lock anywhere and once while i was in easy tune i noticed my PCI buss speed said 23mhz instead of 33mhz. am i missing this setting?

whats the stock vmch in 965 boards?

[aldamon]

Could somebody who's FSB challenged on the DS3 give this a shot?

Unplug your USB devices and see if you can overclock higher.

Don't wanna start another thread atm, got e6300 today, 7x495 was easy with only +0.1 vmch and slight vcore bump. 500fsb is a no go but will find out what is holding it back

I also have dice container for chipset prepared.
