4GHz is been pretty common for the past few yrars now, but only on the right mobo and with the best of air or better yet, water. I myself have had every CPU to date since the 1st P4 s478 Prescott @ 4GHz. Only exception to this was the E6600 wich never was too stable @ 4GHz even on P5WDG2-WS Pro.

I think we'll find 4GHz more common as we see the new 45nm hit the scene and likely be hittin' for the 5GHz mark again.

I like the challange of the budget overclock. CPU's like the P4 506 & D805 are cool examples of the 4GHz on air. The E6300 may not have hit the highest clock but had the best overall OC in terms of bandwidth. A 100% FSB overclock. My classic fave was the old P4 2.4c (s478 Northwood) on P4C800-E to hit 3.20GHz.

For right now, the 4GHz challanges the mobo just as much as the CPU as it need to be on 500FSB for the 6750. And for the E6850, 4GHz is less of a challange. A small hadfull of P35 mobos will be good for 500FSB+ OC but many of the coming X38s are going to exceed this challabge in short time, especially when we learn to make best use of DDR3 and on the 45nm proc.

Clock On!

My temps are in the low to mid 50's. That's not core temps BTW, they are like 62-65 when running prime 95.

That's pretty much the same problem I ran into with the E4300. Once I got it up to right around 3.4, it took too much voltage to stabilize it and it ran hot. It ran much cooler at 3.2GHz so that's where I put it. The difference in performance just wasn't enough to justify the risk of trashing the CPU and abusing the rest of the system!

If it was me in your shoes, I would lower it to where you get lower temps. It's nice to get to 3.52GHz just as it was for me to reach a hair under 3.4 with the 4300, but at the end of the day it's just too hot! I could live with low to mid 40s for the CPU and low to mid 50s for the cores when running Prime95, but your temps are just too hot!

NuckNFuts is going to obliterate my CPU marks with his E6750 anyway, as well he should! He'll be using a newer, motherboard with a chipset that's more designed to run this CPU, that has been known to clock the 6750 to 3.8 and higher. My older tech can't compete with his newer tech. I'm just pleased that my older tech MB did as good a job as it's done!

Are we taking the weekend off? O.K., it's Wednesday and time to get the clock going again. Let's hear soem cool results for the latest E6750 and /or P35/X38 users.

Just to note, I am getting better results with the E6850 on P35 chipset to 4.2GHz @ same so 4.0 is now a comfort spot for these E6850's @ 1.5v. That Q6700 hit 4GHz but not as stable and w/ much more heat. I will be anctious to see what quad core on 45nm can do beyond 4GHz.

Clock On!

It's been very quiet the last few days! I'm as far as I can go with this MB at 3.55GHz, so there's nothing to report other than I like the hell out of the 6750!

I'm presently negotiating with GigaByte for an exchange for my 965P-DS3 v1.33 with a GA-P35-DS3R. They are in agreement that they mis-represented the old MB in their overview of it on their web site and are willing to make a swap. I'm waiting for their offer right now! It's all a question of "how much"! I decided on the "R" model instead of the "L" because I want to eventually use Raid. It's also a bit more heavy duty in terms of voltage regulation and has 8 Sata ports instead of 4. It also has 2 external Sata ports. Once I get the new P35 MB, I can finally see what the 6750 can do!

I have no idea! I assume they do it on a case to case basis. It's been 5 days since I returned their e-mail so I should know pretty soon. I'll let you know what, if anything they will do!

BTW, here's my SuperPi to 32M




I'm amazed! it's under 16 minutes!

Let's recap for a second. Is this because they don't claim native 333 (1333) support out of the box w/ current BIOS and in stock or "auto" mode? Cause this was the case for a lot of !975x mobos as well. Like my P5WDG2-WS when it was new, it would never have said core 2 dou ready but did eventually list as supportive as soon as the core 2 and binned P965's hit the market and offered a BIOS flash requiring an older CPU to be used to do the flash before installing the core 2. This later became the same for the E6x50 series on my same !975x from each ASUS and Abit.

I did look at the link you posted and it match what you said, but you also told us from the past few months that you were running @ 400 (1600) or above w/ a E4300 I believe. In fact a lot of early P965's in this tread were doing 333 (1333) easy since they 1st hit the scene.

Just Curious!

Yes I am complaining that there is no support for the 1333 bus. You read what they wrote. If you go look at the same url right now, it's disappeared! No mention of the 1333 bus. The original that I went by when I was picking a MB didn't mention the Rev 3.3 as it did until they changed it completely! I bought this MB with the intent of using a 1333 chip in it, and they encouraged it! Had I known at the time, I would have bought Rev 3.3 for about $15 more! I even talked to their techs on the phone about it an they never said boo! I have to say it made my choice of Asus or GigaByte much easier!

I'm a man of very strong principles, and GigaByte knows they did wrong! I don't think it was deliberate, but the cover-up most certainly is! It certainly was a sloppy job. I just happen to have screen shots of all 3 versions! The first one I captured was the info from their site just extolling the virtues of the "World's First Natively supported 1333 Front Side Bus"! The second one was where they added the bit about "from ver 3.3 up", to what they have now, which is no mention at all of the 1333 FSB!

I'm not alone either there is a number of complaints from other's as well who feel exactly as I do, that I was cheated! If I was GigaByte right now, I would swap every one without question if requested! First, it's good PR! Second, how many people are actually going to be looking for a replacement, especially those that don't overclock. They won't lose very much and.... well, word does get around!

Oh, O.K. now AI hear you. I had a 1333 strap for my !975X's but it did better as a 1066 strap on the Abit, My ASUS didn't even allow a 1066 strap manually, but the newer X38 ASUS Maximum does. So will be interesting to see how I can twek the CPU/RAM ratios to get the best of both high RAM MHz and CPU/mobo FSB. The P5K Deluxe was more picky with RAM deviders over 1.4x.

Soya, good luck on that trade up if they honor it. I do knw when it was me and my early P4C800 (non "E") trying to get the "E" Deluxe, they didn't go for it then or with the "E" version of the P5AD2. I'm cool with whatever they do for the MAXIMUS, cause I'm just waiting for ICH10R and better DDR31600. 6 - 8 months is fine, but if it was 2 or 3, I'd be mad again.

Just everything I said here! You couldn't do it the same way because I doubt that you saved the manufacturer's specs and overview like I did. I've done that with everything I buy as I screwed up Royally one time, going by newegg's information and have saved them ever since!

Well guys, my P5N-E SLI has finally bitten the dust, so I will be getting a P35-DS3R! Hooray!
After wreaking havoc with keyboard and mouse control for a few days, a few BSODs and strange errors later it can no longer load windows, or even the windows installer.

As long as it's still under warranty, return it for exchange replacement and sell the new one when it comes! Help defray the cost!

I downloaded the manual for the P35-DS3R and the MB is quite different from what is shown on Newegg! There are 8 USB headers on the back and the LPT (printer) port is on an "L" bracket for an expansion slot. Since most printers these days are USB, most people won't need it anyway!

I now have an E4300 for sale for a good price. 2.5 years left on the warranty. Drop me a PM if you are interested!

Well, only time will tell. I didn't want to shell out the extra £15 for the DS3P since all I can really gain is an extra PCI express 16x slot. 6 SATA ports is enough for me in my desktop, it's my server that needs them.

I agree totally. The most bang for the extra bucks is from the "L" to the "R"! You get Raid, 8 Sata ports (6+2), the Extra-Durable2 features, 2 E-Sata rear connections w/power, full support for the Intel 45nm CPUs that are due soon and supports both DDR2 & DDR3. Should be reasonably "Future Proof" for a year or more!

To be fair, the three boards I've owned prior to this one have had gigabit LAN, as has the laptop I'm typing this on, so that doesn't really amaze me much, but being told '8 SATA ports' when on all the pictures I've seen there are only six confuses me. I can only assume it's revision 2 that has them.

Update: I have got revision 2, there are 8 SATA ports on the picture on the main website.

"My Two Cents"

I'm using the Gigabyte P35C-DS3R, hence the "C" version is the DDR3/DDR2 solution, while the "T" is gonna be the descrete DDR3 for each P35/X38. The "P" does offer (2) PCI-E 16x but not sure if in ATI Crossfire yet, (is supported on P35, as is on DQ6 but only in 8x8, not dual 16x like that of X38 support), and of corse no nVidia SLI.

If you're not planning an upgrade for more then 8 months to a year, then think about the "C" version as it is DDR3 forward compatible and should keep you going for the rest fo next year if not planning on the expensive X38 in full DR3 flavor. Although, I believe DDR2 will serve as a good purpose for a good yera to come easily. For us overclockers anyways, who need and want those high RAM clocks over DDR1600, you're gonna' be waiting patiently for affordable DDR3.

Clock On!

the three boards I've owned prior to this one have had gigabit LAN, as has the laptop I'm typing this on
Honestly, it is very few in my experience that actually utilize gigabit LAN as well as even have a 2nd 1000mb NIC PC to connect to or router. Cat 6 will be more improvement on a basic system for more bandwidth and even the better Cable Networks barely work just under 10mb.. I like the idea of gigabit LAN on a notebook, I use it myself, but not too people with Wi-Fi at home or work will even use or bother w/ a hard wire LAN, let alone 1000 LAN. I on the otherhand, have been using it since the early part of this decade when a drop in PCI 1000mb NIC was in the upper neighborhood of $900.00 and a bargon solution of $300.00, So yes, I was excited when my P4C800 offered a built Gigabit LAN, and CSA at that. Well worth the $279.00 I thought.

For the few that do, try upgrading to cat 6 and add a little
