wow so I got a 6400 and a Ds3, i've never overclocked before and decided to try it. Holy cow. I set my internal clock to 400 and locked my pci to 100mhz, then i set my ram multiplier to 1.5 (i think) to keep it running at 800mhz.. Booted up at 3.2Ghz and ran prime95 for 4 hours... then pcmark05.. stock i scored 5400, and after the oc i scored 8100.. I'm impressed with this. Coming from my old socket 478 prescott 3.0Ghz to this running stock at 2.13 it smoked it. But over clocked WOW.. I didn;t really think i'd be that impressed, but honestly i'm tickled pink and just had to post it :) heres a SS.

Sadly i still have the stock cooler so i was afraid to push it more and up the voltage any. So for now i'll leave it here. I read some others that have my same setup and they're around 3.8 Damn... I want to know what mine can do..
 
Its so easy a caveman can do it. now see if you can get your memory to run sync 2:1

Gratz.
 
Check with CPU-Z to verify your PCIe is running at x16 link width, otherwise your games will be slow. If it's not x16, bump your PCIe to 101, which sometimes fixes the problem. I had this problem with my P5B Deluxe and 7900GT (I actually had to run the PCIe at 111 to get x16 consistently). When I got my X1950XT it ran at x16 just fine at 100. Congrats on the OC BTW... ;)

LOL its driving me nuts tying to help people. dont quite have ds3 figured out, some are easy, most are good, and some are nightmares.

Working on a complete full OC and bios tweak guide, be about a week, hang in there.
 
Yeah i read bad things about the DS3 and good things, I ended up getting it anyways... Couldn't of asked for a better mobo... a better chip maybe.. 4mb cache c2d would be sweet
