for those that want to use the stock n/b heatsink and improve the temp performance, you can try this method
I did it on my chipset heatsink.

do you fixed your PCIE at 100?

Evogenix

if i read from the c wizard and temp1 in Speedfan, its 34dCelcius, with priming.

edited : just installed EasyTune5, the system temp 34 as well.

wow your temp hit 60 on idle?
no planing to change to other 3rd party heatsink kar?

Evogenix

Yes, starting I added the voltage follow by vFSB -> vMCH -> vCore, then, I found there is no temp diff in my n/b if I set +0.1, +0.2 or +0.3, so I just put max for my vFSB(+0.3) and vMCH(+0.3).

Normally, ppl will recon using software like memtest86+ in DOS, memtest in Windows or using Bleand test from Prime95/ SP2004. Test it for long run, 24hours recon by most ppl.

For me, I took anather alternative way(fast and reliable), I will use those software to test my rams for maybe 1-3hours, then I'll start play games, eg Battlefield2(it used RAM resources HELL alot). You will know your ram not stable when you played battlefield 2 for 1 hour+, coz it will definatly will crash

the max vcore I gave just 1.45v @ 3.360GHz, where the temp loaded at 70dCelcius, so i decided decrease back to 472x7 @ 1.425vcore. Now doing folding for a almost a day, so far so good (<60dCelcius for dual client folding).

Evogenix

nice. but why use the 8x when you got the 9x?

finally, I saw anather c2d owner ultilize thier proc to fold

Evogenix

i only saw your expected rig, din see you psu oso

Evogenix

LOL~!!!

your pc seem like busier than those torrent tracker that seeds tons of animes movies. I wonder how lag will their pc would be?

Dengar lah cakap olang tua... Olang tua tu screenie oso posted up liao, still dont 1 believe Degil betol.

lagginess as you mentioned not acually cause by proc de, maybe you lag of RAM resources that will used up your hdd paged file, which lead you to the lagging exp.
Even you download/ upload, your proc will not stressed to the max. it will just used 10-20% of the proc usage nia. You think the proc so free calculate every single bits of files you transfered meh...

guys...
F7 BIOS for ds3 is out

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

supported c2q

Evogenix

Great!!! BIOS F7 fixed my 475fsb above post-screen freezing problem

now 480fsb, 1 hit boot

edited : just dont like the new BIOS's warning msg, "System voltage is not OPTIMIZED!!!" when you change the voltage setting manually.

lets see...


considered, so far so good

Evogenix

BIOS : F7
1.425Vcore
+0.3 vDimm
+0.1 vFSB
+0.3 vMCH
ram freq : auto
ram freq : 2.0
ram timing : auto edited

proc temp = 65dCelcius
system temp = 34dCelcius

opss...
it suppose to be like this

ram freq : 2.0
ram timing : auto

will try 485fsb now...

Evogenix

rebooted after 15 minutes of priming...
Enuff for today edi...
tomolo balu play with higher Vcore.

now burning in @ 480fsb overnight

Evogenix

mine got almost the same problem last time, but, for my case, it stucked at 475fsb, try to flash to F7 BIOS, see any improvement o not

BTW, the most important part, disable those C1 and EIST. If those selected, it will stop you at lower clock speed.

Evogenix

Evogenix

oredi tried, wont boot

maybe will try using ET5 increase the fsb see can o not

Evogenix

XD, just change the ram to some good d9 chipset will do

Going to add some heatsinks to my ds3 soon... v soon...

look at those high-end baord all oso got heatsink on it... maybe can help me reach 500fsb ler...
