Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Thread

[fjpod]

CPUID monitor lists temperatures TMPIN0 and TMPIN1. Mine commonly read 27C and 43C respectively. Can someone tell me what they refer to?

Hi everyone,

This is the first pc that overclocked, so bear with me.
I have the Q6600 G0 running stable at 3Ghz (9x333) with vcore in BIOS @1.3500.
My memory is Crucial Ballistix which rated @ 1066Mhz 5-5-5-15.
I don't know if I should keep it at 1066Mhz 5-5-5-15 or should I run it at 1:1 with 4-4-4-12 @2.2v?

My goal is 3.4Ghz (378X9) with this CPU, but it fail to post everytime.
I pumped up the vcore to 1.4250v and still no good, I think it have something to do with this ram.

Anyone know what frequency, v., and timing I need to set for this ram to run on the Q6600@3.4Ghz?

Thanks

You could try 8x425, that may work if there is an fsb hole.
RAM I would set at as 1:1 ratio with looser timings and you can titen them later if you are able too.

hey guys how much you think i could raise my e6550 with stock voltage and hsf with as5 paste? what will it take to get to 3.0 ghz?

[kingsnake2]

What is stock speed on those and what are your current temps?

[Filip_the_crusader]

how many components can be connected via IDE with this motherboard? There is only one connector but does the cable have multiple connectors attached? I need 3 fyi.

stock voltage is at 1.35v but i think it is set to high at stock i dont have my rig built yet soo i wouldn't know the stock temperatures

Ok... all excited putting together this system all purchased from Newegg as usual. Keep in mind my last system build (5 years ago) was probably when some of you were still in middle school. But I have digressed

Current system:

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L Rev 2.0, bios F7
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 (still stock cooling)
GeIL 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit
GIGABYTE GV-NX96T512H-B GeForce 9600GT 512MB
2X Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB SATA
ePOWER EP-520XP-C1B ATX12V 520W Power Supply
And all the other fun stuff.

Current Problem(s)

1) Anyone getting strange beep codes at start-up? I mean codes not listed in the Manual. However every time it still posts and boots WinXP just fine. I have had these combinations:
-long, short, long, short 7x
-long, long, short, long
-VERY long but unlike above it terminated at windows boot
-lately it does not even give the short beep which is supposed to indicate OK

Most times it is just fine and does the short beep.

2) Trying to overclock and starting off very slow and methodical as usual. Bios accepts no overclocking of FSB. As soon as I save and exit it goes through a series of 3 power downs then boots with normal Turbo defaults. My first change was to go from 266 to 270. That should have been doable without a Vcore change, shouldn't it?

3) I do not have the option to set the CPU multiplier higher than 9X as I have read many doing with the Q6600 and this board. I can set it lower. I have used the CTRL+F1 to show more settings. Is this only a feature of the F8b bios?

One thing I do have is all 6 USB ports occupied
External HD (plugged in not turned on usually), Zip Drive, 2 printers, RF Wireless receiver for Mouse and Keyboard, USB port replicator to monitor with 15n1 memory card reader.

From what I have been reading the problems posting after Overclock may be related to USB legacy issue. I'll be testing that but any other suggestions.

I only want a moderate overclock I can live with always on. Close to 3Ghz and stay air cooled would be nice.

the bios won't let you oc the fsb?

well i dont no bro maybe its just vista, my old AMD brisbane hated vista and i could run XP beautifully
