i mean gigabyte remove the ctrl+f1 in order to enable advanced setting in MIT

is there any clock settings that we newbies can refer to?

like vcore, dimm volt, bus speed, ram timings, etc..?

you have 2 choices,

1) Tight timings, ( i assume ur rams can handle them)
2) Looser timings ( kingston restamped can do those speeds, so can u lol)

take ur pick :3

Every rig has it's own setting...u can post your full spec here so easier sifus here to help u dude....

Mainboard : Gigabyte P35-DS3R
Chipset : Intel P31/P35
Processor : Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2400 MHz
Physical Memory : 4096 MB (2 x 2048 DDR2-SDRAM )
Video Card : Nvidia Corp NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Hard Disk : GRAID (1000 GB)
Operating System : Windows ™ Vista Ultimate Professional 6.00.6000
DirectX : Version 10.00
Windows Performance Index : 5.9


anymore info you sifu's need?

anybody running vista x64?

i have boot issue's when changing clock settings in bios and booting into windows. but after that, everything goes ok...

my vcore is 1.4 vdimm is 2.1

hello... i have a Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 on my GA-EP35-DS3
well... i want to OC my processor without increasing the voltage.

any guidelines or screenshot?

@ezin
stepping of your proc and also what the brand of your rams.

Just keep increasing the Bus speed gradually until your PC can't boot.

nice guide there kmarc

just pump fsb at a 1:1 ratio with your dram la. Till u cant boot then,then do a stress test, and reduce your fsb till its stable at the highest clock la

oic... my proc is done under CO stepping,
and my ram is a Corsair XMS2 Twin 2x 2048-6400C5 DHX


oic... good idea...
but will waste some time la...


your 1:1 means???
is it when my FSB = 400Mhz my RAM also must be 400MHz ?

how to do a stress test?

yes for better stability. Do a stress test for CPU with Orthos Prime or OCCT and with ram u use memtest

OIC... thanks for the advice....
i appreciate it alot...

Added on February 4, 2008, 11:53 pmerm... can u post the download link for Orthos Prime and Memtest here too ???

my latest overclock





GO stepping with ocz hpc reaper 4gb kit

wow... nice result...
any E8200 + EP35-DS3 users here???
can anyone post their E8200 OC results....

Wait for my "Basic guide to DDR2 overclocking"... If I'm not too lazy....

Anyway, I've added my other long-lost guide on overclocking 939/AM2.... quite an old guide.....

@kmarc
Yeah i can give some inputs also if you want Now i am mastering the art of Memset

Dont be lazy la. Be hardworking!!

CNY mood ma..... but now back in hometown, nothing much to do also.....

Sure, any input is welcomed..... (if I can get my butt to start the guide! )

nice overclock guide, now I only know the diff. between vdroop & vdrop

Wah, overclocking sifu give me compliments! Takut takut....

lol... you're more expert than me on intel platform

No la...... me average overclocker only.....

Anyway, gonna get started on DDR2 overclocking guide.....

You guys use memset to set timings when OCing the rams in windows?

The few times I use memset, the rig will hang, making it easier to set from BIOS and gradual OC in windows....

What do you guys usually do when searching for the best OC with the best timings?

yeah i use memset in windows. And just click apply la, if hang then just reboot and it goes back to previous settings. Until u r very sure of anything, never click save.. i thought i lost my pc after that.

Here is my latest OC result, later only do orthos for 8 hours, no time to do so long... >.<

sori to disturb..wat is the most accurate temp monitor software for Intel C2D E6550?tried RMClock ,Coretemp, all different readings..mobo as in my sig..

i'm letting go my P35-DS3R.

since some of you have seen what this mobo can with my overclocking pics, thought some might be interested

@sogo
adik, the most accurate so far is the coretemp 0.95.4. Use that.

@a1098113

where are you getting your mars?

wah..called me adik..how u know my age? im 23 ya know..lolx

@sogo
i know your age by how u post. I am 2 years older than you. So figure. calm down. I call you adik only la.

when my finances permit me bro, alot of commitments at the moment. It seems to be a very promising board. But like Moores Law, technology changes too quick.

lolx..wat do u mean by 'how u post'..u mean my accent?or my total post?anyway thx for the info bout coretemp 0.95.4

i meant by how you post la, not your post count.....

ish some ppl write their birthday on their profile..

What does priority for Orthos do? Like priority 1 compare to priority 8?

to answer the question, i might be getting it from darkscythe.

a1098113 really can guess your age la.

Btw, why ain't getting E8400 instead of E8200? I thought you wanted the Q9450

haha me too! might be getting it by 20hours

@TS
i just got my self a new dkp35
the bios setting kinda hard...
all seems to be in manual
last time i use m2n-e
to set the ram timing quite easy
mind to help me

btw i use e2160 rite now
just bought it yasterday

Guys, juz now I tried to raise my OC to 3.6Ghz but failed after a few minutes...my question is, do I have to change the stock chipset cooler on the P35 DS3?Coz I tried to touch it and it was freakin hot!!Any suggestions?

iirc, p35 chipset is hot, make sure it's actively cooled if oc is done bro. can try to get d evercool chipset cooler which does good job in coolin any chipset. i got it installed on my 965p ds3 lastime, no problem at all (i assume ds3 boards have almost d same layout (smaller in width). however if larger board like d cf version of ds3, it mite not be fit as i can't get it intalled on 965p-ds3p.

after looking and talking so much,
this is my first post for my rig
Overclocked my E8200 on a GA-EP35-DS3

i just pump the FSB, no Vcore and Vdimm mod
OCed to 400Mhz FSB and 800MHz RAM
3.2Ghz Core Speed, dunno why the CPU-Z detect it only as 2.4Ghz... lol

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Atta...=post&id=398337

Disable EIST and Speed step.Should be ok after that.

anyway with DS3R or a GIGABYTE SATA2 chipset storage controller please pm me.

I need help. Location around KL is better. I will give a reward ka-ching!

Thanx bro ah khoo for the reply...
Anyway evercool chipset cooler that good?Hurmm, rite now using ultra extreme 120...feared it won't fit coz the clearance is sooo close la bro... Hmmm juz lowered my OC to 3.2Ghz since it was too hot....

gud enuf to tmae d temp i wud say. trustworthy chipset cooler since d gud old days of nf4.

hey guys i am using e8200 with a stock fan
and i oc it till 2.88ghz with 47 degree (prime95 running)
is the temp ok? can i oc more? my aim is 3ghz

i do this on my office pc. hehehe...

P4 631 3.0GHz @ 4.2GHz

Anyone can help me, with my rig .. please see below, 4 my rig. i'm running it on 1.56125 Vcore & 2.20 Vdimm.. i'm not understand Y my rig need to set high Vcore n Vdimm to running stable .. idle temp 35C, load about 65C when stressed it...

im a new intel user since 2 days ago. ya memset is the same approach as A64 tweaker (used to be amd user). what i do is pretty simple, overclock the ram speed and leave the timings in auto. And i will boot up to windows record all the timings on a piece of paper. then gradually reduce the timing one by one (record the timing as well) untill it hangs.

Then i boot up to windows again but with a bit higher ram voltage, and try to set all those timings which i recorded before it hangs. From there i lower it again untill i find the lowest timing possible.

this is how i tweak the RAM timing, and for the RAM bandwidth, the same approach can be used.
