Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Thread

No problem Sarge. I know how confusing the whole OC/BIOS thing is for a noob, so I just thought it would be nice to try to help out others in the same situation I was/am if I can.

Hope you get your internet problems cleared up. Happy new year, btw!

Oh, on a side note, it looks like I've got a 3.6 GHz overclock on my E6750. I'm going to test it overnight to assure stability. I'll keep you posted.

Coelocanth, looks like you've been covering most of the questions here the last few days, thanks! My internet hasn't been doing well lately so I've not been able to get on OCN as often as I wished. Anyway, glad to see that this thread is helping lots of overclockers still, and now some are sticking around helping others! Great to see!

Now, how did my reply end up above yours...?

I've not yet seen any BSODs.

Very nice.

Unfortunately for me, my 3.6 GHz OC failed Prime95 last night at the 4 hour 35 minute mark. However, I've upped the vcore another notch (1.46875 volts in BIOS, 1.424 volts in CPU-z), so I'll try it again tonight to see if it's stable. If it is, then I'll start tweaking the RAM timings.

How well does this board OC with 4x1gb of ram? With ram being so cheap, I've been thinking about getting another 2x1gb.

I can't speak to this board in particular, but everything I've read indicates it's much more difficult to get a stable OC if all of your RAM slots are populated. At the price of RAM today, I'd recommend grabbing a 2 X2GB kit instead of adding 2 more modules.

That being said, are you using a 64 bit OS? If not, you won't be utilizing all your RAM if you upgrade to 4 GB. A 32 bit OS can only address in the range of 2.7 to 3.2 GB of RAM if you have 4 GB installed.

Ok, So I upgraded my cpu fan to arctic cooler 7 and got better case flow. I'm stable at 3.24 (360X9), idling at 24 C. I'm having a problem pushing it further though, whenever I raise it higher, I get the ntldr is missing error at startup. This is easy to fix by lowering the OC and resetting my main HD as the primary boot device, but I'm trying to push it further and can't.

voltage = 1.45 vcore +.4 memory +.1 MCH & FSB

Any ideas?
