can anyone give me some guidance on how to setup raid on a p35c? i've never done this and the terminology in the manual is new to me? i would like to setup a raid 0 with 2 160 gig drives just so my games load faster. i plan on giving windows it's own drive. it's raid worth it or is it a hassle?

Guys, I'm sure this is a stupid question, but will the tips in this thread also apply to OCing a P35-DS3P?
1.5V? Whats the stepping & batch? 3.6GHz is 12 hours stable on 1.3825V I used to use 1.35V for that, but I got an error after 10 hours and kept having it until 1.3825V. I also hit on a FSB wall now it seems. Even 1.6V won't work with FSB/NB +0.3V. Sucks, low volt, low FSB wall.Originally posted by: MaDMvD
On page 38, I listed my minimum stable voltages for 3.2GHz - 3.6GHz in 200MHz steps. They are as follows:
3.2GHz - 1.3375v in BIOS
3.4GHz - 1.41875v in BIOS
3.6GHz - 1.5v in BIOS

Well, MFB and I worked on this for a while last night and didn't make a whole lot of headway. It seems that we can not get my RAM to the correct voltage for some reason. Even after adding +.4v it was still below the 2.1v required to maintain 4-4-4-12. At this point it could be a BIOS issue being that I'm running F8. Does anyone know how to go back to an older BIOS?

Sort of guide:
-Install @BIOS(o'rly)?
-Download your BIOS file. (for me motherboard_bios_ga-p35-ds3r_f9.exe)
-Extract your BIOS file. (Results in: FLASH895.exe, autoexec.bat, p35ds3r.f9)
-Run @BIOS
-Click OK when it will shutdown EasyTune etc
-Click Update New BIOS
-Browse to the BIOS file (p35ds3r.f9 for me)

I used to run it at 3.8GHz, but I got an error after 9-10 hours somewhere, which kept showing up unles I benched on 3.6GHz so I clocked it back. It's a loss in 3DMark (200 points) and SuperPI (0.5), but no noticable difference in gaming.Originally posted by: MaDMvD
It's the good old G0 stepping - the batch I do not know and not about to find out if looking at the CPU is the only way to tell. It just seems like I got a voltage-hungry chip. At what speed do you hit the FSB wall, 3.8GHz+?

I tried:
NB +0.3V, PCI-E +0.3V, FSB +0.3V, nothing changed.
3.6GHz is great for gaming, but I was hoping on 3.8-4.0 stable, because of my low voltage.

OK, this is starting to really suck. This is what I have tried so far and the respective vcore2 voltages that show up in Speedfan 4.33 on stock settings.
F2 1.82
F4 1.82
F7 1.74
F8 1.82
Oddly enough, I can't get anywhere near my memory's spec'd 4-4-4-12 @ 2.1 v. I've added, as much as +.4v and checked SP again, the most I've gotten is 2.02v. WTF? I callled Gigabyte and the Tech Support rep said that I should be using F7 b/c it should fix this issue, that's how I got to that BIOS version in the first place. I'm having no luck at OC at all. It can't be the memory. I ran Memtest and past all tests 3x's. What gives?

Kinda offtopic, but: 3DMark '06 - 12828 marks <- is this XP or Vista? Also, the 8800GTS, is it a stock-overclocked version? (Overclocked when you buy it) and/or does it have better cooling?
I get 12416 with my E6750 on 3.6, 8800GTS on 700/1050/(1750 shader) in Vista that is.
