yep I agree, time to break out the memtest86+ CD.

i'm having problem to bypass 430mhs fsb, no matter how high i put vcore, vmch, the system cant boot at all... is this ds3 rev 1 limitation??
i'm using e6300
p965-ds3 rev1 , f13
2x2gb gskill ddr2 1000
xigmatek s1283
Is there difrence between CPU and RAM limit error, if i am overclocking ? Or i just must try change parameters experimentaly.
Somewhere between 80C and 100C. There is conflicting information about the maximum temperatures for 65nm Core 2 CPUs. In general, the maximum temperature of a CPU is the temperature at which the distance to Tjmax value becomes zero. The distance to Tjmax values are reported by the temperature-monitoring software below.1) which is the maximum temperature for an [email protected]
The latest versions of Real Temp and Core Temp are the most accurate programs for monitoring your CPU temperatures.3) Wich software it´s the more accurate and reliable for measuring the temperature

I finally got off my lazy ass and started attempting to OC my almost 3 year old E6600 + 965P DS3(rev2.0).
Right now I'm at 3.2ghz(356x9) with a minor voltage bump. About 56c load. Not bad for a first timer?
Im just happy my minimum fps saw a significant boost compared to when it was @ 2.4ghz. Damn all this time I was procrastinating lol.
Just wanted to say thanks for the great BIOS guide. It was easy and smooth for a noob like me
thanks man, actually at full load with orthos the temp is around 63-65ºc... and idle at 48-52ªc my ambient temp is 27-32ªc
What do u think it`s too hot in full load?
Your CPU has a maximum multiplier of 9, so it cannot be running at 9.5. CPU-Z is correct.I have a question.
I just installed a Q9650 in my GA-P965-DS3 v3.3 F14 and got it nice and overclocked running a 400 X 9.5(using the +0.5 fine tune option in MIT) for 3.8ghz. This is verified at boot up load.
However CPUID only shows it running at 400 X 9 @3.6ghz
RealTemp says the same.
Is it because the max clock multiplier is listed @ 9?
Is the bios screen correct or are the utils?
This isn't really a big deal and sorry if this is a n00b question but it is bugging me a little bit.
I see that this is one of the largest mobo threads on Hardocp. Would this be a good buy for an overclocked Q6600 build? I like boards where there is a lot of forum and user experience.
Which board? This thread encompasses basically all the Core2 Gigabyte boards since P965, hehehe. For a Q6600, I'd go for a P45-UD3R, personally.
Just based on my experience - using moderate voltage increases 3.2 seems pretty easy unless something is really off (dud CPU for OCing, it happens) after than it starts getting more of a challenge most of the time. A very rough generalization. I have had one or two that ran 3.4 with little additional adjustments and some that would not go over 3.3 unless drastic settings were used. I have yet to find one that will not do 3.2.
(and unless you happen to get one that OCs like mad, I do not notice a lot of difference in the "feel" of the machine once you get over 3.2-3.3 range but I must admit 3.5 is as far as I have gotten as these where customer machines and I did not want to break anything and have to replace a component while I was tweaking their machine. My personal Q6600 in sig is not that great of an OCer, board will do 480FSB with a 6300 dual core but nothing I can do will get that board and CPU combination over 395 FSB stable. Old board.
Anywho, my observations, a fair number of posts where people have got them to 3.6 and better, I am just not lucky.
