    modify a push-pin cooler to a screw in type

    Hi everybody, I have a sunbeam silent whisper cooler for a overclocked 6300 @ 2.8 GHz and 1.2875 volts. I'm currently cooling it with a sunbeam silent whisper, which worked fine. But after removing the cooler once, now the push-pin doesn't seem to be doing its job. I can feel the cooler...

    Mixing a SATA150 with 2 SATA3.0s in a RAID1

    That shouldn't be a problem. The raid 1 drives will just become one 500 gb drive while the raptor will be by itself.

    this board seems to be a better version of DS3. Can owners comment on OC ability? In particular, I'm interested in the ability to reach 400 MHz with a 6300/6400 on FSB while running 1:1. The ICH8R inclusion is amazing...

    external enclosures that doubles as a stand alone divx player

    LOL we had the same reaction. There's also one which can be found by searching mg-35. Another one is called tvisto 3500. These all support "HD". There's also ones that mention nothing about HD. Some of these have ethernet ports so you can transfer files using that or watch something on the...

    P5B Deluxe JMicron Screen / Unable to get into Bios

    have you tried resetting the CMOS? Take out the backup battery on your mobo and wait for couple of minutes before putting it back in. That may help solve the problem. You can also use the reset jumper if you want. Yiran

    Problem with my GIGABYTE GA-965G-DS3

    There's a few posts in the DS3 official thread about this. Basically you have two chioces: 1. don't use sata ahci or raid mode - put your sata drives on the yellow intel sata ports - don't enable AHCI (for f10 only) - don't enable AHCI for on board sata devices (this controls the purple...

    Doesn't your firestix have D9 chips? Why is it struggling to 4-4-4-15 at below it's DDR 800 specification? Is your memory multiplier set correctly? i.e. it's not on auto but on 2.00?

    *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    they meant purple... If you are not going to run raid, then just leave it on intel's ports (orange). Since you have a raptor, just leave it there and get couple of more drives to run raid 0 on the purple ports...

    I agree... hot would mean good conductivity. Your picture is not working though... I wanted to hot glue this thing to the board... but I'm not sure how hot it gets maybe that will melt the glue... I thought about screw but I can't get a good spot to apply the screw...

    Does anybody have any experience with removing the NB heatsink on DS3? I see a pin holding it in but I don't know if I want to mess with it. I would like to take it off put on some as5, and also strap a fan to it before reattaching it. But i don't want to mess with it unless I can put it back on...

    My DS3 seems really fussy - anyone else having this problem?

    Are you sure your memory multiplier is set correctly? If you set it to 2.5 then your board will refuse to boot when your FSB is too high (which is not high at all). You need to set this thing to 2.00 (or 1:1).

    P5B-E won't go past 350fsb

    I don't know how memory multiplier works on your P5B-e. Did you check whether you have set the memory multiplier to 1:1. If you're memory multiplier is not 1:1, 350 would mean you are running your memory at something ridiculous (instead of 700 as it should be)...

    Calling all gigabyte ds3 owners

    The ram will work with your DS3. It will boot at 1.8v at 5-5-5-15... but for tight timing, you need to raise the voltage to the specified (2.0 v is the same as +0.2) 6300 should be ocable to 2.8 GHz really easily. have your memory do 1:1 and raise fsb to 400. You should get away with not...

    The burst speed thing is pretty much bullsh*t. It's better to look at the sustained transfer rate. Just to give you an example, i'm running RAID 0 with my two WDC 250 GB drives. The burst speed according to HDTACH is 1600 to 2000 MB/s. It shows burst speed is not a good mark at all. Your...

    Are you OCing with your old bios? The right procedure for flashing is: 1. flash with @bios 2. clear bios by shorting that contact 3. start bios setup reload default (you can do optimal defaults) 4. Change the setup to what your old setup is. You might not be able to jump directly as...

    Updating BIOS/6300 overheating?

    60 to 85 C? Your heatsink is not installed right. If you are using the push-pin heatsink, you need to push those allllll the way done until you can see all 4 stick out the other end. So you need to take your mobo out of chasis and do this installation...

    yes the sunbeam cr-sw is 775 compatible. There's actually one for AMD as well. Note that the installation method is EXACTLY the same as the stock. That means you better take your motherboard out of the case before pushing those pins otherwise you risk breaking the board. NE's link is here...
