WEll those codes do not line up with what I am getting. One of my buddies that was a PC tech fer some time gave me a quick and easy troubleshoot to see if the PSU is the problem - Use a paperclip and hook up the green plug with the ground right beside it. If the power supply fires up, no PSU...

Hey guys, I have the stated motherboard for about 2 years now and have had no problems up until recently. It started with a problem if not turning on the hard drive when I started the system up, I had to do a hard reset and then it would turn on... I didnt really bother with figuring out the...

Ill take a shot at it, even though I am the most unlucky person in the world!

I am using the ultra 120 on the ds3r and am having no problems

Oh sweet that cleared up my ONLY question I have had regarding OCing really. Thanks for the super in depth reply . So say I want to get a mild OC out of my Chip... I could run lets say 3600mhz... which would be 400 x 9... if I used a memory multiplyer of 2 it would run at 800mhz... or at 2.5 it...

Fair enough, I thought I was losing my marbles. One more quick question though. What is the deal with the multipliers for the CPU FSB... Ive been reading about 1:1 2:1 and 4:1, but it really makes no sense to me??

Ive crossed the dark side on both fronts. Went to an Intel chip, and just bought my first Nvidia card. I guess I will be a bandwagon jumper for life. Follow the performance!

Anyone? :confused::confused:

I am having a hard time following this CPU FSB Frequency Ratio of 1:2 or 1:1. What exactly does upping the ratio do to the FSB and why are some people changing it? Thanks

Just a quick Questions regarding the 'quickie overclock' I got a E6850 and it isnt on the list, so I was going to go on a bit of a limb and assume a few things.. I have Some mushkin 8500 ddr2 5-5-4-12 Memory and was thinking for the settings I would be looking at something like 375 x 9 for a...

Ok nevermind, I figured out the Fan Issue, got it running full tilt now. Still have core temp reading: 34c average Still have Speedfan reading :19c average Is that normal for most people w/ a E6850 out there? Im done bugging!

Last question(I hope): On speedfan 2 of my fans are running at 1400rpm or so but my processor fan is only at 500rpm, but is good up to 1600 rpm, its the Scythe S-flex. How can I max that to see how it is? My mobo is a Gigabyte DS3R rev 1.0 Thanks Edit: I am using Speedfan and Core Temp to...

Go figure... they dont ship to Canada.

Just took the xp-120 off again and tried to see how it was sitting, seems it is a bit convex. I can see under every side and only the middle is touching. So I am going to assume that I will have to lap it a bit to make it sit properly. Does anyone know of a good how-to for this? Ive never...

Yeah I had it work just fine on mine before I got my 8800 GTX 640mb.
