I love the motherboard... works great... no problems at all. Am using patiot 5300 memory... 2gb kit... it kicks butt.... Suppose to run at 667 and with the S3 got it up to 1040... I will post pick...
Hey guys sorry havent responded... Been running about...
First off this the S3 is same as DS3. I wouldnt be surprised if the bios were interchangeable on both boards... of course i wouldnt do that myself. As far as the S3 bios being updated the DS3 boards seems to be the guinea pig and...
Okay got my system up and running and did some preliminary overclocking... Out of the box here are my results...

FSB is at 430... not even breaking a sweat... Also North and south bridge at only +.1v at this setting...
e6300...
Heres your update.... And for those that must wait for the new stepping guess you got it. Agree with others though, it is probably still not a big deal or we would have heard about some kind of problem by now

I am sure with all the testing and excitement built up when the conroe was getting ready to launch the websites would have found something funny by now with their reviews or testing. I think the problem wont come up right now... if it is a problem it will probably show up when programmers...
I did the same thing through pricegrabber... It is higher on pricegrabber for the board but the give you free shipping if you click through on pricegrabber on the board only.
if your buying the board buy itself i think the pricegrabber is better... but if you get the cpu also from ewiz go...

Hey brown
Check this out regarding memory. This is what i bought and it seems to overclock very well (so if you decide to overclock later you can) and is not that expensive and the compatability is very high...

Hey need some help here... Curious as to what triggers the bug or if anyone has experienced this issue that Intel just reported on...

Hey brown11
i did alot of research on the difference between DS3 and S3 already and there really isnt much except S3 has newer marvell ethernet chip and DS3 has different capacitors on motherboard that dont matter unless u plan on keeping the board for more that 3-4 years. here are the links...
Just a heads up... For some reason if you google 965p and e6300 under froogle, when you get to ewiz they give you a cheaper price then if you go to ewiz directly... Just a heads up... You will get the e6400 cheaper also.... there shipping is good also... When i originally added just the...
However whatever the DS3 does the S3 should be the same.... If the DS3 doesnt do good with the e6600 or any of the 4mb cache conroes past 360FSB then the S3 will be the same. I have heard the Asus is better for thoses for some reason. Based on these results it should be obvious the S3 will be...
If this helps i put my order in here... I dont think that this deal can be beat.... I cut my personal info out but left everything else so you all can order from them if this board has picked your interest....

Again cant...
It took me awhile but I was googling through links for quite some time and finally found this. This looks to be THE board to get... Placing my order already....
The user who has been testing the 965p-s3 is called bpott
This is the link where he started testing because his Abit wouldnt...
Your right marlin... forgot about that. Must not be enough of a difference though for him to state anything but looks like you have a core 2 duo ready board.
Nope but wouldnt have mind having that when they first came back. Upgrading right now from an amd athlon 64 to conroe right now.... was browsing for the core 2 extreme on ebay and saw that....
You all remember this bad boy... Got to love competition.... it is bringing us all the goodies again. Conroe will hold the record i believe for quite some time. I know their were some good pentium 4 overclocks but they ran to hot. I think conroe and the old athlon xp mobile seem to be more...
Got some good news here. I called up gigabyte's oem builder line telling them that i want to build systems using their 965p-s3 but that i had some questions regarding it. They transferred me to a motherboard technician since I had questions that seemed to detailed for the sales guy. (I was...

Which steppings seem to be the best conroe overclockers? From what i see here it seems like the b2 stepping. The only thing is that the lower end processors are being limited by the FSB on motherboards due to lower multipliers. this chart is invaded and smeared otherwise with b2 steppings...
Hey marlin
Can you give a range on the voltage options available. Some in the vr-zone forums are saying that the voltage options are not as broad as on the ds3... somewhat like the ds3 arent as broad as the DQ6. maybe we can get a ds3 owner to verify the voltage differences if any...
