    The Unofficial Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R P35 Board Thread

    Hey mrfatboy how are you running your ram at 800 with timings at 4-4-4-12 but at the same time overclocking your CPU to 3.6? Also what's (g)MCH?

    The Unofficial Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R P35 Board Thread

    OK I didn't know 4 was harder than 2. Makes sense though. Is it because of heat due to the close proximity of the extra chips that is causing the problems? Or is it a motherboard issue? I think I'll give loosening to 5-5-5-15 a go. Maybe then I can even up the FSB from 425 to 450 with my...

    The Unofficial Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R P35 Board Thread

    Yeah I set my voltage to Auto. I think the mobo is automatically setting it to the equivalent to +.3 cuz in speedfan I am showing ram voltage of around 2.24 or so. I was thinking about loosening up the timings to 5-5-5-12. Do you know how much performance will I lose if I do this but keep...

    The Unofficial Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R P35 Board Thread

    I am having a problem with my memory in the rig described my profile. I used to have just 2 sticks of the 2 X 1GB Crucial Ballistixs DDR2 800 4-4-4-12, but i ran it at 850. No problems running that for about 3 months, and i have run Orthos many times indefinitely with no errors. Last...

    E6750 & Gigabyte P35-DS4 Overclocking Analysis

    what's the highest voltage you would give the CPU in order to overclock without significantly risking the life expectancy of the e6750? You guys think 1.6v is way too much?

    E6750 & Gigabyte P35-DS4 Overclocking Analysis

    One weird thing is that my memory voltage is set at +.3V, and I know the standard is 1.8V. This would lead me to believe that +.3 is giving me 2.1V to my RAM, but speedfan is reading my volt2 at ~2.16-2.27. Anybody know why that's the case?

    ATITool unstable with nVidia cards?

    I'm thinking it might be folding@home now causing me some issues. Tried opening a second Internet Explorer window with folding at home running and I got that error again. I def think it is a software issue and not a hardware one now. Any thoughts?

    ATITool unstable with nVidia cards?

    I didn't know either until I read some of the overclocking posts in this forum so I gave it a try. Apprently, it works, but i guess not that well for me.

    ATITool unstable with nVidia cards?

    Just set up my new rig, but I'm still using my 7900gtx for now. I wanted to OC it a bit to get a little more life out of this baby. I decided to use ATITool in the past with my x850xt and want to use it with this card. After a modest OC (+25 core and +100 mem) which was supposedly stable...

    Tuniq 120 Rattling Noise/bent heat pipes?

    Yup that's exactly what mine looks like from the top hmm OK i guess i don't have a faulty one. It's keeping my e6750 nice and cool even at 3.4 I guess I'll just have to live with a faint rattling noise (hardling audible at all actually, but it bugs me)

    Tuniq 120 Rattling Noise/bent heat pipes?

    Anybody have this HSF and is experiencing a faint rattling noise coming from the setup? I am pretty sure it is being caused by the HSF. I was examining it just now and I noticed that on the top plate which is used to secure the fan to the HSF, there are 6 holes for what I presume to be the...

    The Unofficial Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R P35 Board Thread

    Looks like you're getting 1 degree better temps than me with the same cpu cooler (tuniq 120). I must have not applied enough of that thermal paste. I think some of it was scraped off when I was rotating that cooler over the CPU to reorient the direction of the fan and fins. My friend said...

    The Unofficial Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R P35 Board Thread

    What are the stock volts? I read in a few places that stock core voltage was 1.35, but my mobo says that normal voltage is 1.325, and both sandra and speedfan say same thing but are showing 1.28 Do you have the core voltage set manually or have it set at auto in the bios?

    E6750 & Gigabyte P35-DS4 Overclocking Analysis

    Awesome guide. Just put together my rig last night and am putting this guide to good use. One question though on the stock voltage of the e6750. Are you sure the stock voltage is 1.35v? My motherboard automatically set the core voltage to 1.325. Sanda also tells me that the "normal" core...

    What CPU, speed, voltages, and temps is everyone running with this board? I have my e6750 running stock. Core voltage (set to auto/"normal" in the bios) reads 1.28 in both Sandra and Speedfan. Temps read 16C at idle and 27C at load in SpeedFan. Similar readings from Sanda. I read in...

    Which CPU Cooler in Ultra Aluminus?

    Now I am kind of torn too... some sources I initially used swore by the Tuniq 120, but now I'm reading that the ThermalRight Ultra-120-Extreme is the number 1 cooler provided that a 120 mm fan is purchased and applied. Tuniq 120 has the advantage of being the better all-in-one package, but...

    Tuniq Tower 120 vs Tuniq T-120-LFB

    Any difference between these two coolers besides the blue light on the Tuniq T-120-LFB? I'm guessing that they're the same thing except for the lcd.

    Which CPU Cooler in Ultra Aluminus?

    Got the Ultra Aluminus full tower case a few months back. Ordering the e6750 and a Gigabyte P35c mobo this week. Haven't decided on which CPU cooler to get yet. Leaning towards Tuniq Tower 120, and I was wondering if there would be problems fitting it? I hear this is a big cooler even for...

    The Unofficial Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R P35 Board Thread

    I think the Tuniq 120 comes with a fan control plate (correct me if I am wrong please), so I think I'll just turn off smartfan and use that manual control to control fan speed. Noise is definitely a concern for me so if I had to run the fan at full speed all the time no matter what then I...

    Any issues with where the ultra ATA port is located on this board? I will be hooking my pata DVD drive to it, and being in the odd spot at the bottom of the board that it is, I probably will not be able to position my DVD drive in the top spot in my full tower. I was thinking about getting...

    All that equipment using only 365w? That's pretty sweet. Don't know what all the fuss is about powerful PSUs. I would rather get one with lower W but higher quality build. I have a 7900gs now, and in the manual it says that it require a 500w psu. Currently the PSU I have is 400w, but my...

    Corsair 520HX Powerful Enough?
