How quick is the on off? When you turn on the computer, if the off switch on the PSU was off previously, it will always do a quick on off and then boot. It's a feature of the P965 boards, not just the gigabyte board. All of us get it. It should hold your overclock when you do that unless it's...

I'll check with Shamino from VRZone, he always has ways around these types of things. Has anyone tried doing the BSEL mod to 1066FSB?

They aren't putting the microcodes in for the rev 1's. Pretty much a complete scam.

It's already been proven. The same thing happens when you try to use a LGA 775 Xeon (Conroe/Kentsfield version) on the DS3 rev 1.

When the memory voltage is set to normal it is running at 1.8V no matter what. The memory boots at 1.8V 800mhz 5-5-5-18 when you install it. The memory has no problems doing that (I have the ballistix PC8000 on the P965-DS3 board, it booted at 800mhz 5-5-5-18 1.8V when I first installed them.)...

There shouldn't be any problem with it at all.

There's no such thing as a CPU FSB wall. It's all been proven to be BS. Everyone hits higher FSB's with better cooling which proves the FSB wall to be false. When you do hit a 'CPU FSB wall' and running ridiculous vcore and temps are fine it's because of the GTL+ Term voltages, not the vcore...

You always should put the radiator after the pump. The pump heats the water, so without the radiator after it, the water temps will be higher when it hits the CPU block. The water is always cooler directly after the radiator. If you're worried about the 2nd block in the loops temp being higher...

No. The 45nm processors will not require DDR3. Most boards already out (including most P965 boards and a couple 975X boards as well as all P35 boards) will support the 45nm processors. There's no DDR3 support on any P965 or 975X boards.

It has nothing to do with Intel supporting crossfire, it has to do with Nvidia selling Nvidia chipsets. The reason people buy the Nvidia chipsets for Intel CPU's is pretty much only because of the SLI feature. I remember reading a couple months ago that Intel would share information about their...

Try setting the FSB manually at 333mhz with the E6600 and then swap it out for the E6850 and try to boot. Don't jump the cmos after you set the 333mhz fsb.

Normal is always 1.8V no matter what type of ram you have. Normal = 1.8V +.1V = 1.9V +.2V = 2.0V +.3V = 2.1V +.4V = 2.2V +.5V = 2.3V +.6V = 2.4V

Interested in grabbing this board for myself and giving my girlfriend my 965-S3. It's only $63.99 on newegg (open box.) Has anyone touched 500mhz FSB on this board? Can anyone hit high ram clocks like the 680 boards? thanks guys

If you need SLI get the DFI 680 board, by far the best 680 board availible.

I get the same cmos checksum error once and awhile, just restart and works fine. Try this, always worked for me when I got the power on/off non stop: Remove all power (unplug PSU, turn PSU off, hit the power button to discharge the caps) Put jumper on the cmos, remove the battery, remove the...
