It probably good. BTW do you know how much of a performance difference is between 4-4-4-12 and 4-4-4-10 both at 1000Mhz?

I never tried it so I don't know! Given the multipliers I have to work with I wish I had bought some 1066 Ram!

Yeah but we're not looking for records here. Just trying to put the performance in context! It' almost 1.5 seconds faster than abuzar1's 6700 at a 40MHz faster clock speed 3440 vs 3400! Oh well, I got to go encode a DVD and see what that does!

Haha I wish I had a 6700. Also my 6400 has half that cache and that probably effects performance.

Just wanted to give you a little context...It was set cooling the CPU down to something like -132 degrees Fahrenheit...That might be a little hard to do on Air..:)
It wasn't that long ago the record was around 25 sec...They only broke 10 seconds a little over a year ago...So..Not to Bad...I would say...

Are you serious??
As far as I know this is the current world record
Here
Unless he has managed to get that qx6950 to around 6.5ghz,5 seconds is not with us just yet.But I hope you prove me wrong!!!
Regards,Crowy.
Russ,congrats on the new build!!Have fun and keep us posted.
I'm still waiting for the Phenom release next month(fingers crossed!!)
I hope it delivers.
Again(fingers crossed) hopefully by June next year I'd like to be into a 3.5ghz Phenom processor!!(We'll see!)
All the best,Crowy.

Well, it looks like the motherboard runs out of fsb between 427-430! It will run all day at 426, but it gives a warning signal when Orthos crashed! That's all right! I was planing on a GA-P35-DS3L anyway! Heat wasn't an issue at all. I even thought it might be a black hole that went away at some point but it just ran out of fsb. I having a bit of a time with Gigabyte! You all be the judge. This is right from Gigabyte's on line advertising!

World's First Natively supported 1333MHz FSB
GIGABYTE Rev 3.3 P965 Series motherboards were designed to take full advantage of the blistering performance inherent in the new generation Intel Core? 2 Duo processors featuring 1333MHz FSB.
Now they're trying to say that it's only the Rev 3.3 that's supported! I told the guy flat out, BS! That's been added since the 1333s came out. My specs just came back on line today! They haven't been there for over a week.
If what he said was true, what was this add even doing in the Rev 1.3 section at all. It certainly implies that you will be able to upgrade your DS3 Rev 1.3 and above! Mine's Rev 1.33 and that's above 1.3!
They want me to go back to where I bought it and return it! In exchange for a P36 yet! I said I would try and if they wouldn't do anything for me to get back to him and he would see what he could do!
We'll see! LOL!! I may even try the F11 bios to see if it works better!

Crowy,
No offense man but after 293 reviews at newegg, the P35-DS3L had the highest rating I've ever seen for any motherboard of 92%! Now they only list 99 now and the percentages have dropped to 81% excellent!
Weed out the idiots who bitched about what the MB didn't have, knowing full well that it didn't them when they bought it! Hey! Dummo's out there! How the hell can you now complain about something you voluntarily chose not to have when you purchased the motherboard in the first place? And for $90 yet! Especially when 3.8 to 4.0GHz on air is possible with the right CPU and memory!
I've got 1/3 of the equation, the CPU! Get some 1066 memory and a DS3L MB and I'll be good to go!

theonejrs,
I'm not sure I got you there. Are you saying now, you can't get 333FSB satble w/ 965P-DS3? Or are you saying they advertised the revision to guarenty 400 or 500FSB? I never seen an add to promise that from any mobo maker. As I did say and test myself, all these !975x and better binned out 965P's hit 400FSB out of the box when new. It meant "overclocking" though, not for use in "auto" unless you did the pin mod, then you'd need the BIOS fix to see stock 333FSB wich didn't come for a few months.
Now my experience has been the same even with the 965P-DQ6 for a max FSB of only 475 (tested last on F6BIOS). It is like the mobo and chipset limitations, cause even my E6600 on an ASUS can hit 495 wich is hard for a lot of them E6600's And we know it wasn't he mobo cause a E6300 did hit the 533FSB mark on a few !975X mobos.
In fact I used to think it was the E6600 limiting the OC beyond 500FSB but now thinking it is part the chipset (strapping an ddeviders). Does anybody still run this CPU to test on a P35 chipset to see if it in deed passes the 500MHz FSB mark? I did find CPU to FSB strapping to be an issue when going backwards w/ E6750 on !975X. few mobos allowed to strap FSB to 1066 and then OC. Weh I was able to it seemed more stable closer I got to 500 with the E6x50's. So maybe the same for E6x00 on P35/X38.
Just curious,
Ohya, can we get the DVD title, app rev. and settings (menues, subs, languages etc.) used for movie test as to refference?

All it's going to see is 3.4GHz on this MB! Anything above a 426 fsb is a black hole. I've tried everything and 3.4 GHZ is it! Looks like I'll have a GA-965P-DS3 Rev 1.33 MB and an E4300 for sale! Anyone interested, just send me a PM! 2.5 years left on the Intel warranty too! That's a guaranteed 3.2GHz! LOL!! P-35 time! LOL!! The additional 2MB of cache and 200MHz more processor speed than the 4300, really helps and it multi-tasks like a mother! I ran Orthos for 8 hours with no problems. The temps got no higher than 47-48C and it idles at room temperature.
I went to intel to check the specs on the 6750 and I found something interesting.
http://processorfinder.intel.com/Details.aspx?sSpec=SLA9V
The voltage range is 0.85 to 1.5V. On the box the processor came in, it's marked 1.35v Max! I would tend to take the word of the site rather than a printed label so I may raise the voltage some more and see If I can up it to 3.5GHz. Cooling shouldn't be an issue with this CPU if you have decent case ventilation. I'm at just below 1.41v and it's cold as ice, 20C at idle (it's 19-20C in here now). Core temps are much closer to the CPU temp than with the E4300. The HSF barely turns at 500 rpm. The thermal efficiency is amazing!

The fsb is stable to 426MHz with no problem. Above that everything is black, or goes black as it's booting! If you read what I posted from the GigaByte web site, they imply support for 1333 chips! It says Rev 3.3, so what's it doing as the first item in the Rev 1.3 then? It's not there with revisions 1 or 2, only 1.3 and above, so it's very strongly implied that there will be support for the 1333 fsb!
I was on the phone yesterday with "Tom" at GigaByte technical support and there will be no bios upgrades to address this problem. Now they are saying that it's a limitation of the chipset! Their solution is to buy a P35 MB, and that's not acceptable to me! I'm not quite finished with them yet! LOL!!

This it wwhat I havew been saying. And even the better !975X can go a little bit further to bout 533FSB but only if you can get the CPU and northbridge to strap as 1066. In fact, occording to you past 6 months of post on the E4300, you had gone over 1333 (333FSB) since then, and even over 1600 (400FSB). Now thats even current foe coming 45nm/1600 cores. Although I dont believe the P965 mobos will do well when strapped as 1600 (even if BIOS fixed) as it will on a P35. Now the 45nm issue will more then likely be a limiting factor for the Intel 9 series chipsets.
Also I' still not sure why you are calling them on. It looks like you hit and passed 1333 (333FSB) already. I said 2 months back not to expect too much beond 400FSB with these (65's and this mobo and revision. Other then a P35, the only 9x that's gonna' get you more is the tryied and true, !975x. But whay go backwords, when good top end P35 can keep up and in most cases go further.

My reason for calling them is here!
http://www.gigabyte.us/Products/Motherbo...?ProductID=2465
It's the first item in the overview. You will note that while it says Rev 3.3, what's it doing in the page for the Rev 1.3? That's just not honest! It's not on the pages for Rev 1 or Rev 2, so why is it there? Better yet, why is it still there? At the very least they have strongly implied that the 1333 bus would be supported, which it's not! Even with the Rev 3.3, which claims support!
I just upgraded the bios to F11 and was able to get it to 3.5GHz and run some benches with Sandra 2007 Ultimate. Math is 32,331 MIPS, memory bandwidth is 7381MBs! I'm showing 1.47v for the VCore in Everest, with it set at 1.45v. If I can achieve stability, I'll try for 3.6GHz!

The movie was Fame. It was processed with DVD-Rebuilder ver 0982 and Cinema Craft Encoder ver SP 2.70.02.04, 2 pass. Total time at 3.5GHz is 50 minutes, 22 minutes faster than the E4300 did the same DVD! 62 segments to it so it really has to work hard! Speed now gets into the 9s' and sometimes the low 10s'!
EDIT
Here's the current Super Pi at 1M. It's getting very close to the 14s'!
I might as well add these because I think that's all it's got on this MB
