No,
I don't think so, Thermal Margin is a heat measurement but not traditional CPU temp.
I have only found overdrive that reads Thermal Margin.
Are you both at 70c?
Does anyone have a new APU, what is Thermal Margin and what does you apu run according to overdrive.
It seems as if only overdrive monitors this. I tried two coolers, pretty much the same.

I never had any real problems with ECS except they wouldn't OC well. Always wished we has Fry's in Jersey. It's OK because Microcenter Rocks!
Any of you guys have a nforce 3 250 board laying around?
Hey,
I'm a big boy. Just thought I'd post and let everyone know. I still think it's deceptive. No matter how many +1's are against me. Guess everyone knows where all these websites are?
The card is being returned tomorrow. XFX on the way.
Guys,
A few reviews. Every review mentions the game included.
I don't care about a manufactures site before buying a card, my bad. It's deceptive.

Well I wanted Dirt two. The 5770 vapor from sapphire reviews showed the coupon included for free download. I had an itch that said it wasn't so, I didn't listen.
After writing sapphire the coupons are included with full retail cards not sold in the USA and with 5800 series cards. Customer...
The board is here. Someone buy one and let us know. In my current situation with 5 computers I just can't.

Don't forget the 560 is at zipzoom for: $66.98

Hello All,
Any updates on this stuff? I have read a ton of bad things about a bunch of motherboards except the Biostar 560 which isn't really AM2+.
Gary sorry to hear about your troubles good luck and god bless.
Gary anyupdate? You all have published a ton of articles but not the one I've been waiting for :)
Zipzoom has some boards also.
The biostar 560 newest Phenom bios doesn't like old CPU's. Still waiting on better phenoms or maybe the black edition one.
There is a new Biostar bios for the 560 & Phenom and I was wondering if Gary could throw a Phenom in the board and let us know how it goes comparing it to the great 5000+ Black article that appeared on this site.
Thanks!
I agree I think testing is different then actual use for one. Anandtech isn't the only site either.
I like pcper alot myself but the reviews are about the same as here.
HardOCP does the best job IMO of reviews, those guys tell the truth, period.
It's hard to imagine that one of these...
redhawk56,
Why don't you try the Epox board:
EPoX EP-5P965+GLI LGA 775 Intel P965
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813123021
BTW they don't use the jmicron controller.
or get one of the 975 boards? 680i is just too expensive IMO.
EDIT: Skip the epox looks...
It differs per motherboard but I believe all the 965 chipsets have issues with straps or dividers, whatever intel calls them.
1:1 is your best bet IMO.
I am glad I made the decision that I made. And that was to sell the board as soon as newegg returns my 2nd rma to me. The only problem with that is now newegg shows the DS3 as backordered and I'm sure that will stop them from replacing my board until that status changes. My experience with them...
Never had optical problems but the newest jmicron drivers work fine on the board. I run a raid 0 with 1 optical drive. I'm holding off flashing at this point. I'm pretty sure version 2 DS3 won't have the D9 problems.
I wrote gigabyte about the windows drivers which load the raid utility in...
Well any more feedback on f8 yet? I'll load it tonight.
This bios thing reminds me of chaintech woes using winflash. With a dual core and version f5 chaintech bios would flash bad. Many, many people had problems with flashing.
Use the built in flash utility and a floppy.
BTW I used the...
Could you post a link for the new jmicron driver?
Wow was I off on the Rev2. description.
OK,
This was a lttle confusing but there is a DS3 rev2 and a DS3P. Very different.
It will support quad. 6 phase power? Well I think the original is a nice board unless you have plans at 500fsb for most micron memory.
I'm happy at 2.8 and rock stable with my 6300.
Oh yea some HD tachs screenies:

Well I hope you get one. It looks real nice. Crossfire and the D9 bug fixed seems like a winner.
Oh yea ICH8R.
You have to let us know if the intel raid 0 performs better then the jmicron. I'm not blow away by the jmicron in raid 0.
I actually considered returning my second drive I...
