    E6750 & Gigabyte P35C-DS3R Overclocking Thread

    That's no problem.. I was going to leave my RAM running stock and just push the CPU cloick up to run 1:1. I suppose I might try tighter timings (I'm at 5-5-5-15), but I wasn't going to push the memory too hard.

    E6750 & Gigabyte P35C-DS3R Overclocking Thread

    Guys, I'm sure this is a stupid question, but will the tips in this thread also apply to OCing a P35-DS3P?

    Circular grooves on the base of my Ultima-90.. worrysome?

    FWIW.. I got everything together. No mobo beeps (thank god) and everything seems to be running well. I'm still trying to figure out Speedfan / Coretemp (I've also got issues with running Coretemp in Vista with it's driver validation) to know if my temps are reading right.. this is what I get...

    Circular grooves on the base of my Ultima-90.. worrysome?

    I think it was residue / remnants from machining. I wiped it a bit with a lint-free cloth and it cleared most o it away. I imagine the ArctiClean will take care of the rest. You figure it's good to go?

    Circular grooves on the base of my Ultima-90.. worrysome?

    I've got just about all of my components and am gearing up for a build this weekend. On inspection of my Ultima-90, I noticed circular grooves on the surface of the base. Obviously, they're part of the machining process, but I'm wondering if you guys can take a look at some photos I took and...

    X38 Chipset

    OK.. that helps me understand the issue, though I'm certainly no happier about it. At any rate, I'm looking forward to the release as I'll either grab a great X38 board at a premium, or a great P35 board at a new sale price. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait until the end of September for...

    X38 Chipset

    It seems weird for this big "performance" board to be coming out without SLI support. nVidia's the big boy right now and while that could change, this seems a step in the wrong direction IMO. Hopefully we see SLI/xfire compatability to keep the customization options open.

    Anyone know when Asus plans to release X38 MObo?

    Any guesses as to what the premium will be on the x38 boards over say roughly similarly equipped p35s?
