Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Thread

[tensionz]

Are these numbers good or should I change some stuff around or maybe even go higher? (Temps are still fine)

CPU Freq: 410
Mem Freq: 820
DDR2 Voltage: +0.01V
FSB Voltage: +0.01V
CPU Voltage: 1.4V
Overclock: 1.86GHz to 2.87GHz

Any suggestions, so far seems pretty stable along with low temps.

Specs below.

Also this is kind of the first time I've done this so feel free to point out ANYTHING.

Thanks again. =D

Well this motherboard & CPU combination has worked out real well so far. My goal was a modest overclock on low voltage. Right now running 3.2 on vcore set at 1.325 in BIOS, CPU_Z read 1.264 idle & 1.232 with all cores loaded 100%. Temps max out at 54° on highest core. This build is used is an engeering computer here at work running Solidworks. I talked the manager here to let me build my own instead of ordering Dells as usual, allot more bang for the buck. I'm still not pushing the ram yet, but am using G_Skil HZ's, so should have good room there too.

Every thing looks good so far. Run some Orthos on it and see if you can get 12 hours stable. If you can, you're probably set. If you want to go any higher, make sure to put the RAM at a lower divider just to find the max of the cpu. Once you do that, then find the max for your RAM. Do this by finding your CPU max, then back it down a bit for stability insurance. Then up your RAM divider and test with Orthos for 12 hours again. If it passes, raise it some more, etc, etc. Then you know your CPU and RAM max and can OC both effectively.

You may have to change up the multiplier or add some voltage to the FSB (+2 seems to work great) if you up the CPU Freq. any more. Other than that, you should be set.

Speaking of Orthos: can someone point out the major difference between Orthos and Prime95? I've looked at Orthos and it appears to me that it's just a flavor of Prime95 with a bit more information provided to the user. Am I way off base on that?

[tensionz]

Alright thanks again, btw I have it set to 2.0 and PCI Freq at 100, forgot to mention.

I didn't test too much but Prim95 and temps showed everything being stable so far.

[Xterminator]

Can anyone help me on how to set the dividers on this motherboard? I can't seem to know what is it on the CMOS Setup.

[tensionz]

I'm pretty new to but I think in BIOS under that MIT tab you change the Memory to 2.0

[Xterminator]

I searched the M.I.T., and there's nothing that says memory.

Would an E2200 or an E4500 work on this motherboard right out of the box?
Also would this ram work right out of the box?
