Maybe my MCH voltage is too low, in this(http://www.legionhardware.com/document.php?id=610&p=2) article they cranked it to +.4 which seems a bit high to me, what are all you DS3 owners pushing it up to?
Yeah I hear ya on that, im on my second chip actually and they were both this poor, the thing that gets me is I pull my multiplier down to 6x and crank the FSB and the cpu is only at 2.4 Ghz and it wont post over 390mhz on the fsb, I didnt think the chip was limited by FSB just simply by the...
Sorry I started the post with the thought to put all that info in then I had to go and pickup my boss, anyways its a DS3 v2 ,i've tried the A7,A9, A10 bios's, im using a 6 heatpipe cooler that I got from newegg, idle temps are low 20's load is high 50's voltage is around 1.45, anything less...
I have a E4300 on a GB 965-DS3 board with Geil-DDR2 800 ram, first of all the chip has a pretty poor overclock of around 3Ghz (poor compared to everyone else's atleast) and to test the memory i set the multiplier to 6x and I cant even get the FSB above 390 which is hardly pushing the...
I imagine this is unrelated but I was pushing my E4300 (smaller die) last night and I ran it at 1.525 and I was getting ~25C @ idle but 55-60C under load, the idle temps blew me away though. This is with a $20 heat pipe cooler from newegg.
