Hi all,
I just installed my new system, with the following specs:
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
C2D E6300
2gb Patriot ddr2-5300 4-4-4-12 (667mhz)
ATI Radeon x1900xtx
Audigy 4
Enermax Liberty 500W PSU
250GB Seagate SATAII HD
an old TEAC IDE CD-R/DVD combo drive (ripped it out of my old machine)
Rosewill R5604-BK Case (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811147037)
I've read the posts about the DS3 on the motherboards forum, but they all seem to assume that you already know how to do overclocking, and I didn't find any particularly detailed explaination about each setting. I'm wondering if there any any guides/gurus out there with info on how to overclock using the Gigabyte DS3, specifically.
So far, my experiements have gone poorly and then better. I've only tried to OC the RAM, since I've read in so many reviews of these particular chips in the DS3 being able to clock to 800mhz, 4-4-4-12, 1.9v with no problems. So, I tried settings those values, and for VDIMM I used +0.1v because they are supposed to be 1.8v stock. I ran memtest test #5 and it got to the high 90% range before it started blasting errors at me. So I rebooted, set VDIMM to +0.2v and so far it's been memtesting solidly. I'm going to try orthos and super pi soon, and add my results to this thread. Is setting my RAM to 2.0v unsafe?
Thanx in advance for any advice!
