Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Thread

[wiggy2k7]

yo wiggy man those HK's are awesome i have a set and i bought a set of crucial ballistix 1066 and they sucked so i RMAed them. thing is that there is no 8500 they are just overclocked 6400 chips. The HKs are awesome i loosened my timings to 5-5-5-15 and i overclocked them to 1038 with +5voltage( it may seem like alot but its only 2.14 after vdroop and its 2.19 in bios) in bios and they ran 4hours stable in Prime95. i now run them at 991mhz and fold 24/7 and never have a problem. the HZ's are better but are way more expensive. but hey if u wanna get them ill prob buy those HK's from u i need another set for my AMD board.

Thanks for you r reply... I think ill get another 2GB G.Skill HK series then, if i can find somewhere that sells them, wizardprice.com dont sell them now thats who i got my last lot from. How come if G.Skill are realy good why dont more shops sell them ? It seems like they are been discontinued.

Is there any way to get better hardrive speed with this board, any bios settings that might speed up my SATA hardrive ?

Thanks

I only have the stock 80mm fan from Centurion 5 and the 2 Scythe fans. When I added a 40mm fan to the NB, I heard a crack or something. I thought I cracked the chip or moved the heat sink out of place, but everything's running fine to me.

What the frick? RAM Vdrop? I always thought it was reading the RAM voltage incorrectly or HWmonitor was faulty. Well, I just learned I've been undervolting my RAM for it's EPP. So when I add +.3v, it isn't at 2.1v (since 1.8v should be the standard)? But instead it is at what HWmonitor says it is at?

Sorry if that was confusing. I know I set the RAM voltage at +.3v and HWmonitor says it is at 2v. So there is a .1v Vdrop? If yes, then at +.4v it isn't even close to 2.2v. Correct?

Here's the RAM I have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146673

It says for 2.1v-2.2v for the EPP, but HWmonitor says the DDR voltage is at 2v. So again, I'm undervolted by .1v for RAM, right?

If so, then that's great news for me since it passed 3 hours of Memtest at EPP undervolted. This means that I should increase the DDR voltage in the BIOs until HWmonitor reads 2.1-2.2v for DDR voltage, yes? (EX: Setting BIOs RAM voltage all the way to +.7v to reach 2.2v in HWmonitor.)

Sorry for repeated/many questions. I'm learning a lot about this board right now, haha. Thanks again crackzattic!

ight so give +.5 a shot in bios, like i said thats what i am running and in HWmonitor it drops to 2.14 underload. i would try the +.5 and let it test but also after about an hour touch your ram to make sure they are not sculding hot i can touch mine after all night of prime95 and they are hot to the touch but not to bad. o ya and even with +.5 in Bios it reads like 2.19 thats crazy isnt it lol o well off to play assassins creed

o ya and u might wanna try loosening the timings if u wanna overclock i got better benchmarks at 1000mhz at 5-5-5-15 than i did at 850 with stock timings

Argh... I'm having a serious sound problem with my mobo and its drivers... My sound card doesn't work either. It seems like a common problem have you heard anything about it?

[crackzattic]

if u have an aftermarket soundcard u need to disable the onboard sound card. its Azealic codec in bios

[wiggy2k7]

is anyone running 4 x 1GB sticks of ram with this board ? I want to buy another 2gb of ram, i already have 2 x 1GB and just wanted to know if i buy another 2 x 1GB sticks will this board be ok ? and im overclocking

thanks

[AphexTwin]

Yeah I did... It WAS working.... But it was always glitching out.... Then one day i was playing music quiet and it buzzed then nothing..... My headphones are working but thats it... Won't let me install the sound drivers again... It's really annoying I want a new mobo methinks.

[AphexTwin]

ugh
format
reinstall everything
with no boot disc
what did i learn from this?
MAKE AN EFFING BOOT DISC
blah

Are these core temps alright for my Q6600 at idol overclocked to 3.0GHz

Post an ambient temp so others can give you a better reply.

I can get 38/31/33/36 idle at 3Ghz with a room temperature of 23C/73F.
