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

    sorry to dig this up from the dead, but i have a quick question is this board be able to support a 9800gtx?? I've googled all over the place and i found mixed responses- mainly about how nvidia pci-e2.0 cards aren't compatible with some pci-e1.0a boards (which is apparently what all p965...

    tighter timings or higher async frequency?

    yeah, i just confirmed this today. i actually noticed an average of 45 seconds of improvement on superpi 32mb (i did several tests on each setup) on the 2.5spd (4:5 with 4-4-4-12) setting over the tighter cas3 timings. this is good enough reason for me to have it async, however small the...

    tighter timings or higher async frequency?

    well, i couldn't get past the fsb hole, so i guess i'm going to stick to 335x9 i tried running the ram at 3-2-2-8 with the normal 2.1v and it passed memtest for more than enough passes but when i booted into windows and opened cpu-z, it only shows up as 3-3-3-8. is this the right reading? i...

    tighter timings or higher async frequency?

    thanks for clearing that up i wish i can do 400x8, but i'd have to ramp up the vcore to get the same amount of speed as the one im getting with stock vcore

    tighter timings or higher async frequency?

    thanks for the link correct me if im wrong though, but the testbed they used for their tests was an x6800 that they overclocked to 400mhz fsb. you see the performance increase with the ddr800 vs the ddr600 because with ddr800, the ram is running synchronously with the cpu. however, i can't run...

    How to: Upgrade your motherboard without reinstalling Windows.

    the method i posted before did not work for me, it would just end in a bsod after the boot screen saying power failure or something like that. I did, however, find a way to change it to acpi multiprocessor. I kept toying around with hals and registry keys for two days without any luck. it was...

    need vid card advice

    actually, it does have the 4pin 12v. but i guess it is pretty old. looking at the date on that psu review- it's release was 2003. i'll just start looking for good deals. that corsair psu does look tempting. and yeah, im aware that fry's usually has pretty sweet deals when the right time comes...

    need vid card advice

    i got curious and looked at intel's site. there's a list of recommended supported psus for core2s and they recommend atx12v version 2.2 the current psu's version is 1.1 (and i forgot to mention its 20pin, but found out you can easily fit a 20pin into a 24pin socket) any harm done? sorry if im...

    reassigning restart button/managing autologin

    currently i'm using automatic login on winxp. the only way i can turn on the computer is by password boot from the bios and this nulls out the power button. but here's my dilemma- when i'm already logged in to windows and then i lock the desktop, someone can still press the restart button (as in...

    reitz answers your questions about testicular cancer and chemotherapy

    youre an inspiration. i'd imagine most people wouldnt have been able to keep the attitude you have after the whole ordeal. did the tumor on the lung spread from the testicle? or was it a separate one? i'm not very well-informed :o

    Bleach

    64/65 i wasnt sure but you get the idea. and yes it was a filler. you can pretty much tell the storyline and everything else started sucking after the whole aizen thing happened. and yea it's too bad they included the modified souls = anyway, the new episodes are looking good

    Bleach

    the filler for bleach just ended recently. im expecting it to be better from now on. just a headsup- dont watch/skip episodes 64-109 since they are all fillers and not worth the download
