the DS3 and DS4 should be of the same overclocking ability, its just that the DS4 has the nice inovative heatpipe design which i doubt shows a significant diff and its crossfire ready.

the 4pin is just a spring off from the 8pin. (2 X 4pin makes up 1 8 pin). for DS3, they are on a 4pin correct?

Nice temp. Mine @40C on loaded @+0.2v vMCH. Before was 43-44C (with same fan)
How is yr setting? Fan on stock like mine?

Becoz better thermal contact btw NB core and HSF lead to more heat transfer to HSF.

By the way, I thinkin of buying PC Cooler NB-400CU (or NB-400AL better? ) to replace my current setup. Any opinion?

yup. Almost same like yours


I think 40C is just nice for 24/7. You dont need to spent extra $ just to reduce the 1-2C on the NB.

this 1 not bad also

edited:i owned both but too bad no temp sensor to measure the temp..

izzit? if not mistaken, our chipset already has it own sensor to read the temp

ya..got 2 sensor...but dunno they mearure wear...

U mean zalman passive NB cooler? I like the design but I think not suitable for me since I upgrade from Xp-120 ( blowing mosfet area) to Ultra-120 ( directly blow toward rear casing fan)....

hi mikelanding,
can I know what are your temps for your e6400 @ 3.2GHz? Mobo/Idle/Load temps please using TAT or Core Temp?

Temp @TAT with Ultra-120:
Mobo=Open case..so not sure..maybe 2-3C above ambient temp
Idle= also dunno coz alway on dual folding which set to auto run
Load= 59-60C (using Orthos Small FFTs to prime) using Ultra-120. 69-71C using XP-120

my p5w dh nb temp full load is 47c using stock tim and stok heatsink..

did U replace the thermal paste? I use hand to feel the NB....is hot, cant barely touch it for long (1 min or so)...

just want to ask.. has anyone manage to undervolt their c2d at stock speed to somewhere around 1.0volt??... is it stable?.. i'll try it tonite..

waiting ur results here

Yea the stock NB passive heatsink is hot without a fan blowing, can't touch it even 3 seconds... Burning desire

Just tested the D9GKX stable at 2.27v, DDR1060 4.0-4-3-9

1v ah... try it

i think can do tighter timing with higher voltage. overall this is a nice piece of ram. i'd tried mine. so worth the $$ i spend..

i tried mine at 1.250 i think...prime stable 8 hrs no prob... but 2.8 cannot liao... so i didnt try futher

I am not sure how tight can it go, still but anything below CL3 or 4.0-3-4 resulting in no boot...

Hope 4 x 512MB will works with that timing and vdimm.

mine 1.275 vCore stable at 2.8GHz.
running cool 24/7. 53-54C. idle

But cant lower vCore to 1.25v... failed prime within 5minutes

how to make the timing tighter?? need to increace how much vDimm??
Wht is the stock vDimm for e6300? all c2D vDimm are same??
Thanks.
I ordered this RAM ledi, but post laju off for 1st satuday. need to wait till monday...

mine running fine @ 2.7ghz at 1.250 but it cant go pass 2.8Ghz too...so dun worry la

well.... for ram i think for daily use until 2.1 or 2.2v is not too much la...if i m not mistaken OPB mention before dun go over 2.3v for daily use.... it will kill ur ram ...

yes thanks .. but i dunno the default vDimm for GA965ps3.. i think its same with DS3 maybe..
I just put +0.2v when OC. Can anyone tell me their default vDimm please.
THanks.
