wow...vdimm=+0.7...any active cooling at ram?
what the vcore? and load temp...

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...

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
