The Unofficial Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R P35 Board Thread

Been away for a while guys, but haven't missed much by looks of it. I replied to starfoxy's PM with details on my NB fan setup. starfoxy, where are you getting this reading of 70C from? If its the system temp in speedfan or something then this isnt the mch temp. The sensor is on the mobo...

E6750 & Gigabyte P35C-DS3R Overclocking Thread

Default for the Balanced & Power Saver plans is 5% but 50% is enough to get the lowest x6 multiplier. EIST will only reduce your voltage if you're still on auto in the BIOS. If you've manually set your cpu voltage, it does nothing.

No I believe it. I just like a warm room now it's winter :)

That's my understanding too. Once on IDE (which I have done too) the performance benefits are too small to justify the effort & risk in converting. You can still have RAID on IDE which is worth it. However, if you wanted to make your boot drive RAID after installing on a single disk, I think...

E6750 & Gigabyte P35C-DS3R Overclocking Thread

@random, you shouldn't need +0.1 on the FSB or MCH at 3.2GHz. I need neither for 3.6GHz. You also want to get you ram to its tighter specs. If they're rated for 2.2v, what's the point in running them at 1.9v and having to loosen the timings? It's just wasted performance for no benefit...

Buy some new games. HL2Ep2 & Crysis will be here soon. Just leave it alone. It'll end in tears :)

E6750 G0 with Vcore 1.4 - how far can you get?

:thumbsup: Edit: Should have said I'm on nearly 1.46 & have the same temps as the OP. What mobo do you have? Bear in mind that most vdrop & vdroop to some extent which will be giving your cpu less than you specify. My cpu-z reading is 1.41 which a hefty vdrop of 0.05v.

RivaTuner upgrade is a must.............v2.05

Funnily enough, not everybody likes taking the unnecessary risk of flashing their gfx BIOS and invalidating their warranty. Not all of us have a spare PCI gfx card hanging around to do a recovery. Thanks for the heads up OP.

You mean install a fresh copy of Vista on the RAID & then overwrite with your image? Not sure that will work. Was the image created under a RAID setup & has the drivers installed? Also if your imaged Windows partition was installed under IDE you wont be able to convert it to AHCI. Windows just...

lmfao. Good stuff. It's a shame AT forums don't let you have your own image.

I'm impressed you know that Balomory is actually Tobermory. Are you a fan?That PC Plum, what a tin roof.

It's taken 2 months for you to experience the random reset syndrome? Count yourself lucky big fella. I have had at least 2 of these & there's others with the same experience on our 2 forums. It could be the writing on the wall or just a BIOS bug. Only time will tell......

There's no quick wins in the BIOS I'm afraid. I'd be surprised if 3 x 120mm fans at 1000rpm aren't doing a good enough job. 50C is high but I don't think it's dangerous for the p35 chipset. Try a fan on the NB if you're worried.

E6750 & Gigabyte P35C-DS3R Overclocking Thread

Sounds about right. Read the the forum linked to by MrFatboy - it proves what we've suspected, that these board overvolt the memory voltage to the tune of 0.1v. Perhaps try +0.3v at 4-4-4-12 which will be more like 2.2v than 2.1v. Possibly. Every chip is different. Start at 1.35v and set...

E6750 & Gigabyte P35C-DS3R Overclocking Thread

dude, the default freq for the 6750 is 333 not 266. And yes, it is probably better to run synchronously when overclocking for stability purposes but small performance gains can be had from running the ram faster, so if it's stable, it's worth doing. Above all else, as an overclocker, there's...
