Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Thread

[Odyn]

Ok, having a problem connecting my front USB ports. I posted before but nobody seemed to know, so I'll try again.

The case I have has 2 front USB2.0 ports. They both have 4 pin connectors labeled [GND] [-] [+] [(and this last one im not sure, it starts with an F tho)]. As you guys know, the j_usb pins are 10 pin, not 4. How do I get my USB ports working... is it even possible?

I have it connected but its probably wrong -- whenever I put a USB device into the ports the computer shuts down or freezes -_-

Hi,

The 1 that starts with (F) goes on pin2, the 1 labeled (-) goes on pin4, the 1 labeled (+) goes on pin6 and the 1 labeled (GND) goes on pin8.

Hope that helps

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

Using another pair of the same ram that is in your sig will be fine. 4 sticks "can" cause the need to increase the volts a bit when you oc.

...4GB sure beats 2GB. I run the cheapo $2.99/GB HP sticks we all bought a few months ago from Cost Central: http://www.costcentral.com/proddetai...X976AT/L49299/
They are all Micron D9HNL chips which don't overclock like the "old" D9 chips, but they run nice and cool at 1.8V.

Anyways, your G-Skills will certainly be up to the task. You may have to back off a little on the memory OC and adjust the North Bridge voltage, but I'm willing to bet you will like the way your box runs with 4GB. That depends a bit on what you do with it, of course. I see the most benefit while multitasking.

LOLLLL. I have a DIFF computer with the GA-p35-DS3L ROFL. But, ill give you a rep for that awesome tidbit

<s>BTW, the connector is one solid piece, I cant separate them... so now what>?</s>

edit: read it incorrectly. Thanks bro <3 Saved me a lot of trouble

They feel slightly warm. Not even close to hot at 2.1v load. By the way, do you know how much the RAM voltage goes up with +.6v?

Does anyone here know if increasing the PCIe Bus Voltage help in overclocking a video card?

Ive just ordered another 2 x 1GB G.Skill PC2-6400 HK series

Thanks guys

I've got my cpu voltage at 1.36.... why does it show up as stock voltage?

[themattman]

Hi, I am new to these forums. I have been having some difficulty with my overclocking adventures.

Here is my current setup. I have all my BIOS settings set to auto for voltages and such. The only values I have changed are the FSB (400) and setting the memory multiplier to 2.00.

Click here for Cpuz/Coretemp/Hwmonitor at Idle

When I run Prime 95, temps go up to around 60-64C. I just reapplied (by spreading out, not doing a line) some Arctic Silver 5 on my Q9450. On top is a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme with a Sythe S-Flex 120mm fan. Does this temperature seem high, even thought it is at 1.3v? (I also have to allow time for the paste to cure, so it should come down a bit)

Also in the box:

Antec 900
Samsung DVD Burner
EVGA 8800 GTS 512mb
2x2GB Mushkin DDR2 800 RAM at 5-5-5-18 1.8V
Asus Xonar DX
Corsair 520HX
WD Caviar 640GB HD

My problem is when I try to set the voltages manually, I left everything except the vcore on normal(auto). At 1.175v I was able to get the FSB up to 370, which was around 3.0ghz. When I tried to up the FSB further, I would freeze up at the Vista loading screen. Increasing the vcore to 1.3 didn't help either. When I set voltage to auto, I was able to reach 400FSB, but now I am stuck there.

I know about vdroop, but I am not sure how high I should overvolt certain components. Should I get setting the DDR, northbridge, or FSB to a certain level to achieve stability? Can I push the vcore up a bit further to account for vdroop? ( I was a bit hesitant to do this because I don't know the extent of the vdroop so I wouldn't want to put too much juice into the processor)

Thanks for any help.
