My recent build include a Gigabyte 965P-DS3 board and a EVGA 8800GTS video card. The south bridge is half buried underneath the massive heatsink of the 8800 GTS. The yellow colored south bridge heatsink feels quite hot by touch. I am trying to find a way to lower the south bridge...

Added 0.1V to PCIe and it's done! That's great help, man.

Thanks guys! Added +0.1V to the PCIe and it's all done!

I overclocked E6600 on Gigabyte 965P DS3 by setting 9x333Mhz = 3.0 GHz. The PCI-E frequence was set to 100MHz. Memory runs at 333x 2.0 = 667 MHz. BIOS is F10 version. The setup is easy and stable. But in CPU-Z, the video interface shows only x1 link width out of the possible x16 speed. The...

Thanks folks. It turned out that the PCI-E link width was the problem. CPU-Z shows only x1 out of the possible x16 for the video interface. When I overclocked on DS3, somehow the PCI-E bus gets shrinked down. After setting the default CPU speed, the bus came out as x16. The sound problem...

Well, the Vista default driver didn't seem to solve the problem. I start to suspect the heat from the video card might be the cause. I am quite happy with the whole setup, except for the huge watts of 8800 GTS even at iddle. In Lian Li PC-A05 case, the motherboard is placed up side down...

Just built a DS3 (rev 3.3) system with Windows Vista home premium 64 bit. The onboard audio chip is Realtek ALC888. Loaded driver version 6.0.1.5392 and used in Stereo mode. When I play music in iTunes or Windows Media Player etc while browsing internet, there's occasional "static" noise...
