You P35-DS3R owners....I'm having real difficulty with bios versions and Ram voltage on this board. I realize the similarities with the P35C - overvolting etc - but I'm struggling. The downstairs family computer uses the P35-DS3R, and I'd had it, since the install, at a nice O/C of 3.2GHz, by setting Ram to 400FSB at 1:1 - stable in memtest and Orthos. Ram voltage set to +0.3. Then, foolishly it would appear, I go and update the bios. Since the update, I'm not stable any longer. These are the particulars:
Rig has Corsair, 2gb, 6400C4, and I'd set it it to DDR 800. At that speed, and at 4-4-4-12 timings, Corsair suggests 2.1v. Whatever the original bios version was, this was no problem - set voltage to +0.3. Now, I can't. +0.3v gives me somewhere around 2.0, which isn't enough to run stable - crashes Orthos in the blend test - but +0.4v won't post.
Unlike the P35C that is in my sig, and that I play with all the time, the P35 bios versions seem to undervolt, not overvolt. Anyone have any suggestions/feedback on the various bios versions for the P35? Currently, I've set the P35 board to 5-5-5-18 timings and left voltage at default. Perfectly stable now at 3.2GHz at 1:1 (400FSB) but I'd like to tighten the timings.
Regards,
