    Gigabyte P965-P35 X38 overclocking and BIOS tweaking Guide

    Welp, for whatever reason, going to F10 helped me out. I'm now sitting at 9x300 and running Orthos for about an hour now and things seem to be running fine. I have to say it is a trip to see CPUZ jump up to my OC settings once I stress it out a bit. At any rate, things seem to be running...

    Can't overclock E4300 at all! (DS3P)

    Moose, could you post your settings? I have a setup very similar to yours, except I have the G. Skill DDR2-800 RAM and an 8800 GTS video card. I am having similar troubles that Renau is having as well. I have started with 9x266 with SPD of 3.00 and upped my voltage as high at 1.4 and still...

    Gigabyte P965-P35 X38 overclocking and BIOS tweaking Guide

    Hmm, so we're pretty similar in setup then, my E4300 is different, but should still OC, maybe I will try going back to F10 and see how things work out.

    Gigabyte P965-P35 X38 overclocking and BIOS tweaking Guide

    Hey, i'll take an answer from anyone. :) SO basically what I am hearing is that my BIOS is lying to me and not doing any type of overclock whatsoever? In the past when I have OC'd, if it fails, it automatically changes the settings back to some low level safe default, why wouldn't the...

    Gigabyte P965-P35 X38 overclocking and BIOS tweaking Guide

    Bill, is there anything you would recommend to show that what I have done has actually sped up my computer? My OC changes are only seen in my BIOS, they don't show up in Core Temp or CPUZ, and my 3DMark06 Benchmarks have stayed just about identical. I guess I assumed that going from 9x200 to...

    Gigabyte P965-P35 X38 overclocking and BIOS tweaking Guide

    So I have gone and made some minor tweaks to my rig, started with the suggested 9 x 266 and both CPU-Z and Core Temp still show me at 9x200. I go into my bios, and my changes are still in place, boot back into Vista and it appears as if it's completely ignoring what I have done. I did enable...

    965P motherboard confusion with BIOS

    Yeah, I tried that with no success either, I know the F1 button works because it does take me to help just pressing F1, I know my ctrl buttons are good, but still nothing... weird.

    965P motherboard confusion with BIOS

    So I am looking directly at my motherboard and it tells me it's rev. 3.3. The gigabyte website shows the latest BIOS for that to be F5. Yesterday I ran the Gigabyte @BIOS Writer that came with my mobo and it shows I am at F11 after using it to update oline to the newest bios, which looks...

    Getting old IDE drive to work on new system

    SO I got my parts yesterday, and got my new rig built up (see sig) and it's working AWESOME, thanks again for the help there folks! So I then went back to try and drop in my old WD 160GB hard drive in the new system and it's not seen at all. I tried changing jumpers, even cables and nothing...
