woah.. 1.25v vcore can run at 3.2Ghz? mine 1.30v vcore not stable also (restart after open 2 folding programs)

any forumer here still encounter compatibility problem between D9 RAM & DS3? did the latest bios solve that issue?

Another question, why there is large increment from 1.6 to 1.8 in vcore option@DS3? how im goin to choose voltage like 1.61250 or something like that?

aiyo~ i dint knw u wanna sell lar
cz i see u sell ur team xtreme tot ur using ths D9GKX
then ur still on the team xtreme ram now? or using new ram again?

im running 24/7 @ 430x7 @ 1.35vcore @ 5-4-5-12 @ 2.0vdimm
vmch and vfsb =0.1v

i heard some ppl says oem performs better?
im not sure though'..mayb oem using better pcb than the kvr?
dunno lar

Maybe for our gfx cards. But for most top-end gfx cards in the market especially after GF8800 is released . Processor speed is always the main issue. Even if you overclock, it is just not fast enough to keep up with the gfx cards. There is always a FPS 'cap' limited by the CPU when benchmarking at lower resolution.

Ya, I do realize this as well, there is no significant difference for me in benchmarking beween running 555-15 or 444-12 in benchmarks. Probably because Intel processors doesn't have intergrated memory controller, there is always a significant latency between the processor and the memory. Just a guess.

i'm going 2 get a e6400 + DS3.
i hav some dilemma in getting ram, plan 2 get a 2x1GB kit.
which ram can oc higher?

here r some of the ram in my mind:
2x1GB Kingston Value Ram DDR2 - 533 (Hynix C4 Chip)
2x1GB Corsair Value Select DDR2 - 667
2x1GB Crucial DDR2 - 667
2x1GB A-DATA DDR2-667

heard that some batches of KVR DDR2 - 533 comes with samsung chipset, dunno can oc high or not?

So far as a D9 and DS3 user, i did not encounter any compatibility issue. For the Vcore option between 1.6v to 1.8v that is the way it meant to be so i guess we just have to stick with that...

If budget is not a problem, i suggest you get the Micron. Other than that, Hynix is performing good too but the best is to have a good look at the chip itself...

for me.. memory is the most important thing, becos my proc aldy reach the highest limit. So i have to run tighest timing to get good score in Super Pi.
running 1087Mhz @3-4-3-3

erm, among your list the highest FSB it can go is the Crucial Ram. Had no idea with the A-Data ram though. I know TMJ is doing the bulk for it, but i don see the packaging of the ram as a high-end ram. if u can afford the crucial, go for the tenth aniversary one

what's goin on?

why is it 3.6G? im using x6 multi

Only CPU-Z reads multipliers correctly. The others assume your multis are at default and multiply them by FSB.

Even Sisoftware, Everest and Memtest86+ also read wrongly... Thanks for the info man

aiks,now my turn to encounter in the laggy issues when open cpuz after switch to asus board..any solution to solve it?(cant remember is there a solution or not )

im same too...i lower multiplier to x6 but the speed shows in orthos is x7

anyone here mind to share your vcore setting for E6400? i'm not able to do 450 even at 1.6v with vMCH +0.3 and vFSB +0.3. By the way, my ram was capable of that speed.

E6400
Mushkin DDR2-667 2GB
DS3@F7 C2

dun think if there is a way to resolve it ler.... its lag because it getting the information from the sensors.... so that i will show u all the values ... correct me if i m wrong

lol..nvm edi..its better after i flash to 0304 bios:D
btw..wat is the TM2 function tat under the same menu with settings of C1E and etc?

i m not quite sure what is that for also...i disabled everything hahaha
btw y bios 0304??? i m using 0701 liao wo...

wow...U whack yr system till extreme ...hope U had good HSF and active cool yr NB and ram.
Most of DS3 mobo had difficulty in overclock above FSB450. Only few lucky 1 manage to do that. I suspect either yr Proc or mobo chipset had hit the wall.
U might want to try Asus P5B-Deluxe which prove to be more overclockable compare to DS3

whats ur CPU temp at load (Orthos) using Core Temp, and what's your mobo's ambient temp?

just a question, why Asus P5B-Deluxe? Is it different than the cheaper variant, Asus P5B, other than the wifi, etc?
