Thought this deserved a new thread and Priming !

[The Asgard]

I'm running out of time now. But its lashed on my bench at work.

Specs

DS4 Mobo
Retail OEM 6300 Bought from OcUK
Crappy £7 Akasa heatsink
G Skill 2 GB HZ Kit Micron Memory
Seasonic 500W PSU

I have overvoltage the chipset by .1 volt but the CPU is at stock. Mem divider is in min with 475 on the FSB. Chipset is Toasty.

Will try and go further tried at 500 FSB and it got into windows but BSOD. Might need some more volts me thinks

This is on AIR and the thing is still priming after 30 mins

[NoSinder]

WOW! Awesome stuff! This is what I like to see ON AIR!!

[The Asgard]

Oh BABY that is NICE!!!!

There have been some reports w/ IDE and SATA problems with some of the Gigabyte boards. No problems there I take it?

I have had no problems. Fresh install. This overclock was done in the BIOS. I could not be bothered with the soft OC

[N00B]

i hope you can get has high has ds3!

[PcCI2iminal]

DS4 looks a killer board
btw nice OC

These gigabyte-boards seems to be very promising indeed. And first retail X6800 did 3.46Ghz stable@air, now E6300 does very near that. Nice oc!

[The Asgard]

I have maxed out the FSB at 480 =3360.05 MHz. This is running

0.1 Over on Dim
0.1 Over on GMCH
0.1 Over on FSB

CPU @ Default

CPU under prime load under a crappy Akasa £7 Heatsink is 55'c

Better do some work. Enjoy!

[ocZZZ]

stepping 6? retail cpu? cool

[andre X_X]

can you raise the Cpu Voltage??

[The Asgard]

can you raise the Cpu Voltage??

I have aborted for the moment will be watercooling it tonight ( see sig ). I'm a bit concerned about the chipset being so toasty. Couldn't get a reading but I'm sure it was hotter than the CPU

[RAGING DRAGON]

Have you got a wb for the NB?

[vkbms]

good job man....

I'm very happy to see this result of Gigabyte DS4.... i've ordered one too

[scooby609]

nice!

whats the max FSB via bios only please ?

& are you able to cold boot at that speed ?

[burningrave101]

Nice OC man. I've got a retail E6300 coming next week and an Abit AB9 Pro. Anandtech was able to POST an 805D at 4660MHz on it with an early BIOS. Abit has a new BIOS that just came out the other day. It should overclock pretty well because of the design for improved power regulation.

[theteamaqua]

E6400 , 6300 + one of those 965 board (preferably Gigabyte)

any change in this combo might affect/lower the maximum clock speed that can be reach

E6600 + DS3 , DS4 = not so good

not sure about E6300 , 6400 + P5W DH or other board

[tvdang7]

hey what does added volts to FSB do? same as the adding it to the chipset?

nice o/c btw. any ram dividers on this board?

[aldamon]

Conroe is why I sold off my water cooling this Spring. Looks like it was good move.

[mascaras]

i will receive a OEM E6400 and a gigabyte DS3 in the next 2 hours , then i also post some results


BTW: nice OC

480 Bios only. Not tried soft OC

I see in your sig you got Water-Cooler. You wouldn't happen to have an air-cooler too and to try and see what's max stable on air for 6400 and DS3 would you?

i cant cause i bought a OEM , i dont have a cooler to test it , only water cooler

[irenic]

at last got a thread about this board. i've use this board for 1 week and i'm quite regret to get this board instead of ds3.. and the asgard, i hope u can help me with my overclocking later on.

All good, guess I will have to find out for myself later next week! Thanks though.
