to bypass cold boot, i boot my system with lower multiplier and then change the multiplier in bios (system wont shutdown)

actually i'm still blur about cold boot...
actually it means what?
it won't boot up at room temperature? as simple as that?
or there's something else?

my pci-e link width in cpu-z showing x1, how to fix it ????

heheh...i think so...
my e66 was running fine at 3.5G...did the orthos for 50 hrs...passed. shut it down...after couple of hours, fired it up...the damn cold boot...

ok, for the pci-e 1X, i changed my memory controller hub (MCH) to +0.2 (before = +0.3) and it now X16.

not room temperature
as in the fast the the pc boot from cold, i.e turning off the pc and on it again

nothing wrong with cold boot la,gaygaybyte mobo always like that one,take it easy,after u oc liao mostly will like that,cause the chipset is refreshing the bios....it will make sure ur bios is not corrupted after oc.

dont know what, when i set vmch to +0.3, i can reduce vcore for overclocking, but my pci-e link width falls to 1X,

nope,no need,it's ok,but why dont u just use bios to oc?
the temp is much improved after changed the stock hsf.

hehe..coz i am stil new in OC..tats why wanna try it first with software...so u mean adjust vcore only in the bios?..and how do i know whether the psu is enough to support or not?

I m planning to build a C2D system, with my limited budget, I bought a Gigabyte GA-965P DS3 rev3.3 board, and I planning to get Shawty's Crucial Ballistix DDRII 667MHz 1GB*2 and also get a E6600 ES from mjoe~

I will pair up these babe with CoolerMaster Gemini2~

just need to ask whether I can OC this babe high and safe that I can use for 24/7 ~

PROC
after OC:



RAM
Crucial Ballixtix DDR2 PC2-5300 667MHz 2GB Kit [2X1GB]
Chipset: Micron D9GMH [B6-3]

Timing: 3-3-3-12
Voltage: 2.2Volts [For References Only]

p/s: i dont want hardcore OC coz that will makes my proc lifespan shorter~ i just want a secure OC that can use for 24/7~

hope can get any advice from u all~

Anyone here running 500FSB+ 24/7 ? I just ordered a 965P-DS3 and a E6600 with Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme + SilverStone FM122 Blade White 120 X 32mm Fan with Controller and Gskill PC8000 F2-8000PHU2-2GBHZ 4-4-4-5. Thinking of running at least 500x7.

u can use the psu calculator to calculate ur rig estimated power consumption mah....

for me,software oc is kinda dangerous,it will boot any setting that u made without take care of ur pc,it just push and push,if u using bios,if it detect any dangerous setting,it will not boot or reset into ori setting,that's why it wont spoil ur hardwares.

Bro,PD oc is kinda hot,beware ya!

dont worry la,me also using 3.825GHz 24/7 and daily use lo,no problem at all one la.
if u afraid,just run 400x8 daily with a bit vcore increased or stock (if ur proc is good).

wah....u kinda rich lo....

well,there is no point to say 24/7,as long as u can orthos or prime it stable for few hours,it will stable at 24/7.

u know why i say so?if u let ur pc run 24/7,is it cpu usage 100%?
if u just leave it overnight to download things,the usage is less than 10%,if u run folding at both core of ur cpu,then only u say,can i run folding 24/7?

well,DS3 can run 500mhz,but it's not really stable,the highest i ever hit is 520mhz with rev 3.3,but i no longer using gaygaybyte cause it fails me too much ,now switching to DFI.

hope u got a good rev 3.3 which can go for more than 500mhz fsb

feel free to ask anything about gaygaybyte mobo,cause i used a lot of gaygaybyte mobo before,i still remembered all my setting.

heeh..i see i see..mayb will try later..hmm..may i know can i increase the cpu speed by just increasing the fsb?without increasing the vcore..izzit possible?..coz increase vcore will cost more power consumption right?

Nope lol i dont fold anymore. Too much electricity bill. Well i hope i'll be lucky. The stuffs wont be arriving for weeks though. Can't wait.

benchmark with sisoft sandra.gigabyte has bios prob.sometime superpi result will be okay but under full load u will see the difference.my superpi calculation only use 50% cpu load.i got 100% cpu load by using prime.then comes the differences.try more benchies.if you run 400x8 then you're fsb will be 1600(OCed fsb) but ur CPU run at 3200.my e6600 run at 3600 with 1.42v.last time i used ds3 with presler 920 clocked at 4.2G on water.ds-3 is a very good clocker but u need to find ds3 characteristic.quite a bit difficult for me at 1st (ds-3 bios{last stable bios for me is f10} prob due to my cheap memory{it works on certain multiplier}).maybe u can try vdroop mod on ur ds-3.make sure u have proper cooling.vdroop mod works for me.

yup,u can make it,but need to see ur cpu potential lo....some of them even can go skyrocketing with stock vcore.

i see i see..thanx for the info

Yo guys, im using C2D e6300, with GA-965P-DS3 rev 1 (sigh)

for the moment, would like to know which bios is the best for oc-ing for me?
latest bios version is F11.

Here's my detailed specs

C2D e6300 with intel stock cooler (sigh, maybe changing it soon enough)
GA-965P-DS3
2X 1GB KINGSTON VALUE RAMS PC5300 667MHZ DDR2
Silverstone Strider 560W PSU

Hope you guys can help

anybody tried the new intel P35 yet? saw most review, can easily reach more than fsb550.

btw P35 is the replacement for P965, called bearlake. support new 45nm cpu.

Planning to get a E4300 along with the Gigabyte 965P-DS3 i965P C2D V3.3 mobo, and Kingston 667 RAM (2GB).

What would I need to get (fan, type of RAM) to overclock the E4300 up to close to (or over) 3GHz or equal to a E6600 performance?

Don't mention water cooling. ($$$$)

hey there cfu cfu here,

need some help regarding my rig,

here's my detailed spec

C2D e6300 with intel stock cooler
GA-965P-DS3 rev 2 F11 bios
2X 1GB KINGSTON VALUE RAMS PC5300 667MHZ DDR2
Silverstone Strider 560W PSU
Nvidia 7300gt 256MB
Western Digital 250GB Sata2

at the moment i set my fsb to 366x7, and its stable, temp at 50 idle, and can reach 68 when load using orthos. i use core temp to get the temp reading.

is that safe? the numbers are kinda scary for me..
tried to push the cpu to 400x7, it is bootable, but it will crash when windows is loading, or show that windows is corrupt.

here's my changes in bios

Vcore : 1.25 (stock at 1.35)
Ram Multiplier : 2.0
Pcie freq : 101
ram timings : 5-5-5-12

so anyone can help me why i can't push the fsb further to 400? need some advice. thanx

well,if u running 2.8,u should increase a bit of ur vcore,if not,it's hard to boot at that speed with lower vcore.run stock vcore and run 400x7,if cannot,go 1.4.if can,then lower down ur vcore step by step.

make sure u prime or orthos it kaw kaw to make sure it's stable.

well i tried your way, but i can';t even boot.
According to previous posts, c2d e6300 can oc even though with undervoltage.
Thus, i tried some trials and errors, and not overdo anything, and finally succeeded on 2.8GHz.
to get myself to 400x7, all i did was :
increase the ddr2 voltage to +0.2V
all others are left as normal, with Vcore at 1.225V.

now stabling at 71 deg temp at both cores. again i shall ask, is it safe? 70 deg temp is kinda hot for me.

btw, +0.2V for ddr2, will it damage my rams fast? for me, it seems like the prob is in the rams after all..

one last thing i need to know, is it ok to push my fsb further? i aim to get 3.0GHz at least..

please advice sifus here..

Any benchies to see ur real OC result...?

Added on June 22, 2007, 1:14 pmis this diff in Super_PI good...?
From this 1 to this...

any Celeron OC'er here...? i juz recently found out tat a celeron 347 is kinda match the performance of AMD X2 3600+...

temp is 37 from BIOS...

i don think it's gonna be of any prob for E6600... juz stable or not only... mine can go until 3.2GHz but can't survive Orthos for more than 15min... my current config can run orthos for 3 hours b4 i got bored and play Stalker...

Guys,

Anyone here knows what the motherboard temperature for DS3 (shown either in everest or easytunes) refer to? I'm kinda having some problems with it at the moment, after installing a new graphics card (8800 GTS). It was 30 - 33 c before when I was using 7300GT. Now it's like 45 - 47C!

Noticeably, my core temp increase several degrees as well since then, and yes, I have remounted my heatsink several times and i'm pretty sure that its tight!

[attachmentid=238777]

Any ideas on what the temperature represents and how do I overcome this?

i think u set ur ram fsb ratio to 1:1 and ur ram is running @ 800mhz nbow,for a normal ram,it wont boot into windows,but after u increase vdimm to +0.2v,and it should be stable now,but for a 2.8ghz Conroe,the temp is quite hot even with stock hsf,70 degree is safe,but it's better to stay them below 60c.
yes,u can push ur proc beyond 3.0ghz no problem one,if u find out ur ram is limiting u,then no idea liao....cause if u set to 1:1,u will need to use high multiplier with low fsb so that ur ram is not running beyond limit. 2.0vdimm is still safe.

well,the temp for ur mobo chipset in easy tune is "system"
well,it's normal,u know why?cause ur 8800 is generating a lot of heat from the back of the card,and worse is,ur chipset(the northbridge) located just slightly above the 8800,so the heat make ur chipset run 10c hotter,and i'm pretty sure that ur 8800 is really hot.(i'm using too,so i know.)
the temp increasing 10c is caused by ur babe 8800.

And if you want to know a simple way to not let the heat from the back of the card to transfer to northbridge is simple, use those casings that is in BTX style.

This is because hot air will go up, so if you're using normal ATX style, the hot air will go up, and hit the northbridge.

So the simplest way to counter this thing, is to use BTX style casing.

My ram is limiting me larr, no choice. can't even go higher than 2.8GHz, unless someone is kind enough here to blanja me crucial ballistix tracer rams

i lowered my Vcore to 1.175V, now running 370x7 stable, and ok temperature also.
48 degree idle, maxing at 58-59 when load. Previously when i oc, i din't touch Vcore, stock at 1.325V. That's y very hot.

now im 24/7 at 370x7, can go 400x7, but then need to increase vdimm to 2.0V. Myself i don't stress my pc all the time, so i think better stick with 370x7 lar.

Thanks for the reply..

Confirm that the system / motherboard temperature sensor for DS3 refers to the Northbridge temperature?

another solution is to blow ur system wif a standing fan or table fan like me...

Any different in oc potential between old FSB1066 and newer FSB1333 support on 965P-DS3?

Hey guys, there seems to be some problem with my rig..

This is regarding my cpu.
previously, my cpu is stabling at 370x7, no problem 24/7.
all of a sudden, it's not stable anymore. Y can that be?
now im running at 340x7, it's stable now.
370x7 is bootable as normal, but there will be severe downgrade on performance.

y is this happening?

same wif me...
i now set to 358x7 wif RAM multiplier 2.5... now OK d... later gonna try higher Core wif reduced multiplier...

mine 1 ok ar.....

dunno can go futher or not?

can teach me go higher and run 24/7

thanks

Have anyone oc on P35-S3 @ P35-DS3? This version is cheaper than P35-DS3R and P35-DS3P. If this one have nice ocbility I must have one when penryn out.

P35-DS3 basically same performance as DS3R just without raid. oc ability? all P35 are proven to be good OCer board

Thats what I think. Just have more confident. Thx

i think u can... cuz juz OC 0.5GHz... mine is from 1.86 to 2.5GHz... already 0.7GHz diff... above 2.5 performance go down...

and try to run super_PI or 3Dmark and see the diff in performance...

Why when i shutdown and then turn it back on, it reset to the default clock ?

Oh and any tips how to reach 500FSB, i seem to hit a wall at 475MHz (i tried 475x7 @ 1.5V quite stable), but then again maybe it's just the processor. This board is already equipped with F10 bios which is a good bios right ? Anymore optimization that i can do ?

the latest BIOS is F12

http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherb...ame=GA-965P-DS3

I going to flash my 3.3 to F12 later

Master,

Noobie OC-er seeking for advice with the following spec:
I'm using e4300 w/ stock fan, Gigabtye P965P-S3 board, 4GB of corsair value-ram, galaxy geforce 6800gs.

I have tried advices from all around, and have set the setting for both PCI-E to 101Mhz. Likewise, I have also set PCI to +0.3V .
Lastly, I have set CPU-V limit to 1.35V and Ram to 200Mhz.

As such, I have reach a limits of 2.55Ghz on my C2 , in which will generates a max of 69degree heat in both Prime95 and TAT during peak.

I been reading that the core I've selected allows an OC of 3.0Ghz w stock cooling, so I was wondering where I did wrong.

Any suggestion to assist ?

1. try to play with other voltage setting such as vFSB and vMCH
those setting might help u in ur oc-ing
2. try to losen ur ram's timing to something like 5-8-8-x
3. lastly, if both above doesnt help, try to increase ur vCore.

Evogenix

I noticed the latest bios hehe. But i will need to RMA this board because the built in network got hit by lightning. I will replace it with DFI Infinity instead and maybe get another cpu gem from another guy.

So anyhow in the meantime, why does it reset the OC setting when i restart after shut down ?

With regards to my earlier post, I've check with a friend and he mention that CPU temp should be lower than what I'm experiencing at the moment.

Thus, can clarify if the following is normal or I'm looking at some hints of problem here?

C2D e4300 with stock fan.
(check via Intel TAT)

Original setting (1.8GHz , 200x9):
Idle : 50 degree C
Peak: 60 degree C
Avg: 54-55 degree on CPU-1 , 52 degree on CPU-2

OC to 2.5Ghz (2.5Ghz , 285 x9):
Idle: 55 degree
Peak: 69 degree C
Avg: none (yet to complete the OC stablility test).

Is my CPU hotter than normal or is it a normal temp ?

Is TAT and CoreTemp showing the same temperature?

TAT and CoreTemp showing similar value. Plus/mimus of about 1-2degree
