anyone running some OCZ pc2-6400 Golds on their DS3L? if so, how much did you overclock it?

[identitycrisis]

so Ive been shopping around for an intel rig, been lookin at the gigabyte, DFI Blood Iron and the DFI LP DK. The main differences are that the DS3L supports ddr1000 and the price, am i right for the most part? seems it is 30-40 less than the other 2 boards... any insight on this?

DS3L dosn't have RAID, though. SOmething I wish I had noticed..

[identitycrisis]

So no RAID, the cost, the ddr standard... and im sure DFI has a much more in depth bios? anyone used both?

[Javy]

My rig is:

CPU: E6300 (OCed @3.10GHz)
RAM: DDR2-667 G.skill 1GBnj in Dual Channel mode (SPD 2.5= 5-9-9-25)
MOBO: Given right

Vmods:
Core-1.375
DIMM-.03
FSB-.01
MCH-.01
PCIX-.00

When I go to increase my Bus Speed to lets say 480 (3.36Ghz) there is a huge vmod jump ~1.48. My processor gets kinda hot ~60C at load. After seeing SGTSpikes OC (3.3 @1.26V) I am wondering if I am doing something wrong.

I have tried just one stick of RAM with an SPD of 2 and my PCIX is set to 100. Is it my memory DDR2-667 or something else like powers supply?

Thanks for the help in advance.

DFI is a better "tweakers'" motherboard, but the Gigabyte (in my experience, at least) is much easier to work with. The DFI board is finicky and requires a lot of CMOS resets.
