Nobody can answer my question??

Yuor mobo is based on the 915 chipset which is not really good in overclocking.You can try slowly to push your proc to run at highest speed.

Huh..too bad..any nice mobo recommeded??would like to try to OC my proccesor

Your proc is P4 630 ..If you want to get better mobo then you can try on other chipset mobo like those 955 chipset. I got one experience to share with you,one of my fren is using Asus mobo also 915 chipset and the max FSB on the mobo is only at 240FSB. I tried on his mobo running on 240*14=3600MHz and it's stable on the 3D mark benchmarks.What's your max FSB provided on your mobo?

My FSB stated is 1066/ 800 / 533 MHz from the manual,ya..btw,how do u kno my mobo chipset is 915?cos it is not 915chipset according to the manual,correct e if im wrong,anyway..here is my mobo spec:http://my.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmen...=3&l2=11&l3=179

THX a lot dude

how to test my pc spec like post #1 ?

Aiks...i have seen woringly.That's ATI chipset one.THis type of mobo i think only for the very basic and budget use only.If want to o/c,i think better get other motherboard from it.As this mobo also come iwth build in VGA.I am not sure whether the FSB is locked or not.Sorry for saying that your board was 915chipset.

i think thr r no way can make it to can oc since my acer pc also cant oc

Pros please help me , i just start learn oc this week,
i wan to ask tat if i having this Spec
Intel 640 3.2Ghz
GA-8I915G Duo mobo
CM 450 RealPower PSU
His Ati X550 256Mb

wat is the safe range oc i can try?
i scare my CPU say bb to me , please help
and can tell me wat is the safe range of gc oc tat i can trY?
thx

Safe range..this is hard to determine....The safetest is running on stock,no risk at all.But you can try to increment the fsb slowly to see at which state it's stable.

intel netburst processors are HAWT!!! take extra caution when overclocking those..

What are you doing here?Not satisfied with Intel products?

p/s: How to identify C1 or C2? (sorry for noob question)

mikelanding, there is few tips to ensure u get a c2 board

1st. at the top of the board, above ram slots, got small capacitor with puple label.. most c1 has larger capacitor there.

2nd. ask the shopper when did the stock for that ds3 arrived. if in october, it should be c2.

And for now all c2 ds3 comes with F4 bios ..

Hmm....I just checked:
1) I got a small capacitor but the label is green instead of purple
2) My DS3 come with F4 bios

Any picture to see how the small capacitor look like?

so far I manage to OC to 430X8 with 1.525 vcore..Prime stable..temp around 71C with XP-120 and a crappy Sun-Ace fan.

Edit: There is 1 big capacitor (green label as well) near PCI-e slot...issit at that location?

Hmmm..I just take a SS from CPU-Z...Not sure it prove anything or not...

i cant see this (1 big capacitor (green label as well) near PCI-e slot)
but mine same with u rev=c2.....

Location 2: Big capacitor I mentioned earlier
Location 1: Izzit the location of capacitor irenic mention?

504x7 pass 1m

vc 1.58
vdm +.6
+.0.1,+0.3+0.3+0.3 at bios........

wat the vcore and load temp? Pls

i meant the number 1

today last oc 3.8g.....ppass 1m/2m

the easiest way to know DS3 c2 version was..

gengstapo.. but we cant ask shopper to install the board and look at cpuz first

Any other way to physically identifying a DS3 C2 board aside from the capacitor difference?

Planning to get one in the coming pc fair to reduce risk. But even then seller might have old stock. They got write anything on the board or not like mebbe rev. Xxx ?

i think another way to check the rev. would be take out the chipset heatsink and see wat is written on it
from L628(or week 29,not sure) onwards will be c2..

do u thk sellers let u rip off the sink 1st b4 selling to u?

tats y hard to pick up c2 ds3 if the seller left some old stock..

n00b question here...c2 and c1...what is this all meant about..performance more good or what?coz mine is rev=c2..check at cpu-z.could anyone explain plz.

c1 old chip c2 new chip extreme forum c2 can go 600 fsb

i see..tq for the info

even if ur mobo can go past that, u must 1st get 'lucky' rams then can hit over 500 la........not everyone got tat 'luck'........

hit 500mhz is not hard,hynix c4 can do it
ask gengstapo
many kvr 533 come with this chip

yeah..im using one...now running 450mhz

omg i going to get those kvr 533 le

rev c2 and rev c1 has same rev number on the board

I have a small green cap. Do i have the c2 version? I haven't installed my mobo yet. Still waiting for processor

take off ur chipest cooler and see the code

as i inform laa in d' 1st page
if already setup, use CPU-Z to view the MoBo detail..

Aiyo thn i should burst my mobo claim warranty for C2 version lo ekeke... i know is stupid... just joking...

izzit really g00d ka this c2 revision??

@gengstapo

not necessary. it's just like a new driver update, or bios update. many people think the latest should be better, but thats not alwiz true..

but as we know the c2 fixed some minor issue founded in c1, so it's better to have a newer one..

but i dont think it worth people change their c1 board just to get the newer c2..

can someone exchange with me to try it out?

i have one unused for now, but going to put into my mom's pc after raya..

i decided to use asus p5w dh dlx as my system's mobo.

mine let me trying it out?

dude i think u mean :-
"mind" letting me try it out?

@irenic, apa la lu, why never buy the Abit board?

Abit ordered ady
Coming...................

lol.. im offering my c2 if u would like to test it
i oso wanna try ur p5b

ok ar...shd do some cross testing on each board....see which is more overclockable

^lol.. when can we do the "project"?
