Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Thread

[v1nce]

I''ll get the processor to 3.6; right now I don't want to get a new cooler - I'm using the larger stock one from a e6600. From what I read there's hardly a difference in thermal temps at 3.6 - not that I won't do 4 later. I'm playing it a bit safe in the beginning not that it seems I need to with this chip

hey guys i read a bit of this forum nd found it fair helpful and i realise im askin questions you have all heard before but it just takes sooooo friggen long to read all this lol.. its HUGE.
anmyway bought a new system.
ga-p35-ds3l
4gb ocz reaper (2x2gb)
lg 18x burner
q6600 (g0 revision)
160g hdd
and just a crappy gpu coz i got no money atm =(
anyway i got everything in the mail 3days ago and plugged it all in. turned on and the psu blew "tears" so that buggered one stick of ram up =( but hopefully that will get warrenty.
anyway a few questions

1/ my cpu is being clocked at like 4 different speeds by different programs and in some of them it keeps changing for no reason? wats with this and how can i stop it? in core temp it shows @2.9ghz but i havnt even oc'd it yet?
in easytune it always changes from like 1.4-2.8???
and in cpuz it says 1.6. this is freeking me out how can i stop it. i just want it to be the same all the time.

2/also my ram voltage is set to 1.8 and i think my ram should be at 2.1? thats wat i recall anyway. and also the timings should be 4-4-4-12 but it shows as 6-6-6-18 waah. i know i only have one stick working at the mo is this affecting this?

3/i really wanna oc but im scarred lol. and yeah can i oc to 3 ghz on stock cooling? i idle at highest 32celcius, and highest recorded under prime 95 was 65 celcius. could some one show me exactly wat bios things i have to do to oc to 3ghz or around about? i dont really wanna screw around with voltages tho. not experienced enough. this is my first "real computer" lol. and im only 17.. please help guys thanks heaps
kind regards

Hey guys have a real annoying problem. About 2 days ago my comp started acting wierd so I swapped the memory slots and it worked great. Last night I had it downloading a large program so I left it on. When I got up the next morning it had restarted its self after a microsoft update. But it was hung up at the post screen. So I rebooted and now I get the BSOD right before it loads into vista everytime. Any suggestions? PLEASE?

Finally got mine going after a few rma's. Been running prime95 for about 4 hrs no with no probs. First time doing any oc'ing, bumped 8400 up to 3.6 left ram on auto ( 5-5-5-15 ). Temps look ok? I see the difference between core and real.

Only thing I think I didn't do was disable fan control before doing prime. Just want to make sure everything looks decent. Thx and thx to all for this thread!

temps are fine use real temp not core temp. Core temp is for 65nm. Real temp for 45nm

Hello i have a problem with my friends DS3L he got. I owned a DS3R which the BIOS are the same but i didin't have this problem. We tried overclocking his E2180 with the board which should go high.

When he ups the Vcore from stock CPU-Z doesn't show an increase in voltage at all. And yes the extra options that limit the core stuff when it's idle or whatever is disabled. I also put his frequency at 230 or so and it showed no overclock in CPU-Z just a plain 2.0ghz.

However when you go back into the BIOS it is still at 230 fsb.

I thought maybe it was still being limited when it was idle but i ran orthos at 100% and orthos still said @ 2.0ghz as did CPu-Z....this really sucks and i feel bad becuase i told him 3.0ghz would be easy!

EDIT: is this the problem that people say reset Cmos? How do you reset it without taking the battery out. Don't you take a screwdriver and push? i never did figure that out on my DS3R becuase i only had to reset the cmos once.

Make sure you disable Intel's Speedstep thats whats causing the differences your seeing.

If you Press CTRL-F1 at the main BIOS screen you can access the memory timings menu in the Motherboard Intelligence Tweaker menu. You should also be able to tweek you voltage in the Motherboard Intelligence Tweaker menu.

I'd be nervous ocing the q6600 on the stock cooling... get yourself a good aftermarket cooler...
hope that helps....

Have you tried booting into safe mode?
