currently using P4 631 cedar mill oc 3.4ghz for everyday usage. seems it's enough for me to play games with it's 2mb cache.don't want to push more coz using stock cooler (got xp90 + LGA775 RM thinking of swap after suing C2d) does it show any significant performance increase if i change to c2d??currently bargain for cheap c2d e4300 and then will tend to oc it....

a quick test on my E6850...
beam me up tAmp0i



extra information:
4.00GHz, 445 x9 / Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6 / 2GB DDRII-890, 4.0-5-4-12 / CM Gemini II

What's ur vcore, vdimm and vmch?

all seem going for 4Ghz... seem like i will change my proc too

vcore=1.6v drooped to 1.57v I think
vdimm = 2.25v
vmch = +0.30v

not stable thou under my air cooling and 'oven-like' room

I don't think you need to increase your vMCH at all. My P35-DS3 can go up to a bus speed of 480mhz without any increase in vMCH or vFSB.... Can't go any higher probably due to my CPU FSB wall.....

yup...that's correct.
just to make sure that i can boot it up at that speed...actually mine can go upto 500 without touching the vmch

does that only apply to giga's board? mine would definately need some increment to aid stability...

my results: 427 x 9 @ 3843 MHz. vcore=1.465v bios, vdimm=2.10v. should be able to fine tune it a little bit more and use as 24/7, hopefully...

suicidal run: 463 x 9 @ 4167 MHz. vcore=1.625v bios, vdimm=2.30v...wouldn't dare to go any higher...and of course not prime/orthos stable, just in case you ask...

ehh guys, wondering wheter the p965 boards can suit(hoping at least) with core 2 quad in overclocking? anyone else outthere using this paired??

is your mobo is DS3 or DS3R/P???

i didn't touch my vFSB, vMCH too when OC. doesn't seem to make any different. the board i'm on now is P35-DS3P

well...from my observation (at least for my mobo) i need to increase the gmch to ensure voltage stability during load...if not the voltage will drop a bit (roughly +0.02v) during load compared to idle...

Yaea, anyone? future getting G0 Q6600. When I was reading review on 965P quad core oc in early days, its hardly to see they oc above 400FSB..

yupp, just got info, rlhc17 sez his previous dfi p965 only can handle up to 415Mhz only..

i think same to me as well.. wtf!!

migrate!migrate!migrate! migrate to P35 la bro

w0ot.. poison detected, run for ya live!!

aiyaakk, this hobby make me sick lehh, more & more $$$ to be spent

let me try 1st with my current p965

guys...u all using E6850 until so syok,so easy to oc,what's the vcore that needed in order to go beyond 4ghz?

and u guys think P5K Deluxe is a good mobo compared to P35 DQ6?

Ya lo, if want higher OC on the bus speed, should migrate to P35. My Gigabyte P35-DS3 (value for money performance mobo) can OC to a bus speed of 480mhz without any voltages adjustment (either vMCH or vFSB)!!!!

Ooppsss, me using E6750 and P35-DS3 oni la.... so sorry, cannot give any advice.....

does buying a used p965-ds3 rev1.0 at RM230 worth it?
can it support 1333 proc for future? any diff between rev3.3 and rev1.0?

waah...is it not your qx6700 more powerful? no need e6850 la...actually mine was relatively easy to hit 3.8ghz with around 1.45-1.50 vcore stable. but to hit 4ghz i need nearly 1.58-1.60 vcore to get it stable but thats way too much (too hot! ) for me and my air cooling setup just wouldn't do. if you are on water i believe it will be much more desireable.

p5k dlx and p35 dq6 should perform fairly similar i guess...all p35 i've seen so far should be able to do 480fsb so it comes down to the features the mobo has to offer. wait for dfi's p35 to come out la...
