What's your CPU setting? Multiplier, fsb, vcore, vdimm, core temperature....



P35-DS3 - best bang for buck. Should be adequate for your proc. Dunno why some people don't like gaygaybyte......

yup, once u pump default + 0.3 or above (only gigabyte have this), u'll have that notification. for me, 2.2-2.3v still acceptable with some active cooling.


why not? even my 965p-ds3 is enuf to bring my 2140 to 3.0~3.2GHz.


gigabyte is gettin better recent years, it should be a brand to be reckoned nowadays along with d likes like asus, dfi, abit & etc...

Multiplier = x8
FSB = 425mhz
vcore = dont know but on default value
vdimm = dont know but on default value
core temp = idle:37c
full load:69c (orthoz stress)

something is wrong when d load temp is what u've mentioned with stock voltage.

something wrong? high or low...?
BTW, i'm using heatsink TT pipe 101 with CM aero 7 blower..

Is your rig stable on orthos at that setting? At 3.4Ghz at stock voltage, that is already a good overclocked for the E6750. Most E6750 can only OC to 3.2 to 3.3Ghz at stock vcore. Of course, you have to determine your vcore first.... check it in bios.....

And yeah, the core temp is a bit high for stock vcore, maybe you're running at a higher value....

If you get "failed" for vdimm, why not manually set it to the default value i.e. 1.8v to see whether the "failed" still comes out....

Oh really...?

My vcore according to Cpu-z is 1.376

nvr mind bout that "FAILED" value... i cant go further 3.4ghz for now.. my ram is normal kingston value ram 800mhz..
if i clock 3.5ghz n above.. i cant even load into windows..

tonite gonna lap my newly bought previously own HR-01 and then mount it on... see how good this baby is compare to my current oldskool HSF...

if cpu-z is reporting 1.376v underload, ya real vocre should be around 0.03~0.05v higher, that makes it 1.4xxv. for sure that's not the stock voltage nemore.

i think somehow we forgot that for gigabyte bios, when someone said the vcore or vdimm is set at default, it could mean at 'Normal' setting which will auto-adjust the voltage according to the speed that u r running...so, i guess when our fren here said he set it at default - he meant at 'Normal' setting...that's why cpu-z reported higher voltage...dun u agree?

ah... its on auto... i didnt touch the voltage... cpuz detected 1.376 but coretemp detected 1.325...
hmhmhm....

Yeah knight....Normal means auto...that's what happened to me last time...set my Vdimm to Normal and EasyTune5 reported my Vdimm at 2.1...

Anyway guys, what about the Performance Enhancer?I set mine to Standard and I heard u can set it to Extreme with no stability issues?

Flashed my P35-DS3L mobo to lastest bios F7B...
Now i cant clock 3.4ghz anymore... huhhuhuhuhuhu....

Q: Can i flash back to original ver bios...?

coretemp reports ya cip's stock voltage, even if u set in more than that in bios, it will still show d same voltage, in other word, it's fix (coretemp voltage)


why not, gigabyte is better than asus when it comes to bios upgrade/downgrade, some asus bios do not allow bios downgrades, u gotta need some special tools to downgrade d bios once u've updated to d most current one.

mine is gigabyte btw... can downgrade?

try lor... should not be a problem.

bios wise, imo gigabyte is easier to set. asus bios is richer but mite be a headache to newbies, like me...

hmm... can you enlighten me the way to do it..? Thank you very much...

Guys, i have a 6300 proc. How can i noe what is its default vcore? it's currently on auto.

kucingfight d guru is d more ideal person to "enlighten" you bro, i'm no longer have a gigabyte board with me.


coretemp.

Nvr mind.. Flashed back...

Thanks






I've clocked back 3.4ghz...
Using everest to detect my voltage...
Its seems:
CPU core = 1.38v +/-
DIMM = 2.10v +/-

Its this value good..? especially my vdimm... i'm using kingston pc-6400 value ram...

Hi,

I'm new to overclocking but have been through guides and researches. My intention to OC is because i would like a better performance in gaming and therefore don't need a very high OC maybe roughly around 2.XGHz.

Currently this is my setup that would be involve in OC:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6320
Gigabyte P965-DS3(Bios F12)
2GB Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC2-5300

Firstly I turn off C1E, EIST that would limit my overclock. Put the ratio of FSB to DRAM at 1:1. Then i increase the rams timing to 5-5-5-12. Let's say i want it to be 2.4GHz, I increase the FSB to 343. Therefore i would get an effective memory frequency of 686. After that i reduce the timing. After all done i run memtest, orthos for couple of hours to test the stability. The vcore i keep at 1.35v while the crucial running at 2.1v. Is that correct?

Then i did research about voltage. Increasing the voltage for MCH and ICH would affect the OC but sadly couldn't find much about it. Care to guide me anyone?

686 with timing 5-5-5-12 abit loosen.. try 4-4-3-8..
E6320 easy to achieve 3.2ghz try 458x7.. vdim 2.1 vcore 1.45 try luck

well if u have a cooler on it, u can run vdimm 2.2 24/7

Yup i tighten it later.

Anyway can someone explain the vMCH?

Thanks.

just played around the P35-DS3P rev1.0. the vdroop for vcore is almost same as the DS3 but the vdimm is much better.

hi, currently i'm encounter problems while playing games for example freezes, lock up , BSOD during game play and loadings. Sometimes i even encounter problems like these stated above in STOCK CLOCKs no OC all reference... SIGH* donno wat had happen to my computer recently~

here are my specs :
Core 2 Duo E6400 L2 cache 2.13Ghz --- Ocied to 3.2Ghz 8 X 400
Gigabyte P35-DS3P using F6 Bios
4X1GB Corsair XMS2 DHX C4------ 4-4-4-12----2.15V
320 Western Digital HD Sata 2
FSP Fotron 700W True Power
Galaxy 8800GTS G92 512MB -169.21 driver in XP 32bit

so i guest pictures are better then stating down all the stuff

hope you guys can recommend me a perfect stability solutions for my Overclocking

your help is deeply needed and Appreciated~~ !

BSOD..? also when on stock clock..?
hmm... sounds familiar... maybe same like mine lah... BSOD 15 minutes after log into windows... next thing i know things get even messier... my HDD MBR corrupted... the HDD is unreadable...

mine only happen in playing games
took out 2 GB stick now run perfectly
maybe ram faulty ?

could be timin too tight. try to loosen it 1st...

800mhz with 2.15vdimm 4-4-4-12 aren't tight.
but din't try for 4 stick before. try vdimm 2.2 or up your vcore to 1.47

same thing happen lol up ram voltage to 2.25 and Vcore to 1.47 sadd.....

what ur RAM default vdimm?
RAM that over voltage easily to fail stress even u got active cooling..

I'm using a P965-DS3 Rev3.3 F12 board. When i boot into DVD-ROM at start up- let's say to run memtest- my USB keyboard isn't detected and doesn't function. Only PS/2 connected keyboard function. What option must i set in BIOS to allow USB connectors to function?

enable / disable usb keyboard option.

btw, u ain't need a dvd rom to run memtest, floppy will do.

2.1v

sry to go a bit off topic
gigabyte got so many p35, the thing i'm concern which few has pci-e 2.0?

if i'm not mistaken, none of 'em support pcie 2.0, only x38/x48 suport that feature IIRC.

Thanks it works. Don't have a floppy drive. So i made a bootable DVD.

There might be something wrong with my P965-DS3. It's temperature readings are weird. I've seen it idling at 27 degrees celcius on latest CoreTemp at stock speed. That's abit low even for my Ultra-120 Extreme. CoreTemp detects the CPU as E6400 while i'm using E6320. My P965-DS3 rev3.3 has BIOS F12.

Yeah, only the X38 supports PCI-E 2.0

hmm thanks anyone who tried helping me.. it turn out that the vfsb n vmch voltage needs to be upped 0.1V..im surprised that i cant use stock voltage even at only 215fsb !! now running at 2.8 and still counting..hehe..what program u guys use to check cpu temperature? whats the max voltage for stock fan? sorry if ask a n0ob question

Added on December 20, 2007, 3:21 amanother thing my mobo cant change timings eh?..is it auto ?

press ctrl + f1 at bios main menu bro and go to mit, then u'll see all d settings for ram there. i use coretemp but some prefer others like speedfan & etc... be it stock or 3rd party, try to keep ya temp below 65'c for 24/7.

u don need to up the Vmch. stock volt will do it up to 450fsb easily. ur juz pumping unnecessary heat output to the NB.

it's diff for 965p ds3 rev 3.3 bro, stock voltage for vmch & vnb won't allow ones to oc. atleast i faced d same when i was usin d same mobo.

wau..wat a good machine!

thats y i thought even small oc also need to up vmch.. i actually upped both fsb and vmch... need both or only one of them ?..

this is my OC results but hmm i am having problems with 3.6Ghz.. i am using Zalman Fatality.. though.

maybe this is the wrong section, but do kindly guide me.. i am still learning in OC.

Vcore as set in Bios? Looks like you need quite a bit of voltage to go higher. Either it is the CPU or your mobo.... maybe higher vdroop?

If you already need 1.49v for 3.52v, you'd probably have to increase the vcore a whole lot more to achieve 3.6Ghz. Probably 1.55v to 1.60v...... which is definitely NOT RECOMMENDED!

For my E6750, now running 24/7 3.50Ghz @ 1.425v (set in bios).... see my sig....

the Vdroop is high for the IP35-E, as i used 1.49V in BIOS but in cpu-z it stated around 1.45V, something like that.... and also i am using the old school Zalman Cooler.. so that doesnt really serve the purpose of maintaining the temperature like it shoud

my new pc
sold my QX6700 and changed to this rig

WOW ...

guys,i hve been thinking bout this for long time..
how to know whether the processor nver done Overclock?

cause some people when try to sell their proc they stated that the proc nver done any Oc process
