Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Thread

[fjpod]

I presume it is OK to jump in here with a question as I am using the DS3L. Does anyone have any suggestions on furthering my overclock? I seem to have maxed out.

Go to edit system and put in your specs. I will look like the rest of ours.

I must have something crazy wrong with my rig, because my Super PI is at 3m 38.500s for 1M

Yeah, you got something seriously loopy happening there. My Superpi score is 14.157 seconds for 1M (see sig for system specs).

According to his CPU-z validation link it was 3.8 GHz. (I assume that was also when he did the Superpi run).

Yeah, I reverted back to my known stable, which is 3.4GHz, and I'm at 15 seconds even

Hi everyone,

How can I tell weather my RAM or CPU is causing the unstability?

I tried to run my Q6600 G0 at 378x9, 1.475v in bios, I set the RAM (2X1GB Corsair XMS2 6400) on 2.00, 1.8v, and timing to auto (5-5-5-17 I think). BIOS is F6. Boot to Windows Vista fine, ran prime95 for a few minutes and blue memory dump screen pop up and restart. Is this mean my RAM or CPU is bad?

I also tried to run this thing at 400x8, it just freeze at the memory test/post screen. Anyone have this problem as well?

I realized that the northbridge is hot as hell, is this normal?


Thanks

Yes, that SuperPi run was at 3.8Ghz. I believe at 3.2Ghz I was in the mid 15's or low 16's, so similar to yours.

Not only do I think your maxed out, but you vcore voltage is way high for a 45nm cpu. You'll get cpu degradation and possibly kill it running it up at 1.4v or higher. It can't take the voltage that the 65nm cpu's can.
Intel specs. it max around 1.365vc

You can use Prime95 with Small FFT's test to torture test your processor, and Memtest (theres one built into windows) to test your RAM. I've got a feeling that your VCORE isn't high enough. At 400x9 I have to set mine at 1.55 in BIOS (1.505 Actual Vcore idle).

Your memory voltage should be 1.9v with 5-5-5-12 timing, multiplier at 2.00.
