Rob: SilentPCreview. Russ may hate them, but they carry out by far the most scientifically accurate measurements of noise for products.
Rob,
I don't hate SilentPCreview! It's just that some of their results and mine have differed considerably in the past. They don't like ball bearing fans and they particularly don't like Silverstone ones apparently, as they were way off the mark when testing them. I have a certain amount of access to an Anechoic Chamber at my work and my figures and theirs differ greatly! They are much quieter than SilentPCreview says they are. They also say that some fans are a lot quieter than they really are as well. They don't use a sound chamber, so I do question their methods. Ambient noise levels are much higher than any of the fans, so I don't see how they can accurately measure sound levels without a sound chamber! Even a sound chamber isn't dead silent, but it's always quieter than what's being tested! You can screen out some noise, but you will always wind up with 15-17 dBA. Bear in mind that the walls and door of the sound chamber are about a foot thick and lined with solid blocks of acoustic foam!
With my 80mm Silverstone, I even ran it attached to the cover when it was tested. Talk about a sound board! LOL!! Another thing I don't like about them is when a fan fails their tests, they don't give you the information, they just say it failed, or at best say louder than xx dBA!
It's ironic, isn't it that in my work I have to be very knowledgeable about Airflow Characteristics and sound! LOL!! Only I deal with 400,000+ rpms, and about 65 dBA of noise. My job is basically is to design air turbines that run as fast as they can above 400,000 rpms, that run as quiet as 65 dBA, and make them live long enough to be a practical design! I get to see both ends of it too because I repair a couple of thousand Dental Handpieces a year, so I get to physically test some of my own designs or improvements to someone else's design, first hand. Neat!
Next time you go to the Dentist, take a closer look at the drill! At the very top of it there is a round cylinder, the part that goes in your mouth. What I work on is inside that tiny cylinder! Bet you didn't realize that the drill spins 400,000+, did you? My personal record is 562,000 rpm! The noise it made, cleared a whole room full of Women out in about 10 seconds! LOL!! 97 dBA! At that high an rpm and making that much noise at that high a frequency you could break glass! LOL!! Never mind what it would do to your hearing! The design wasn't a success! ROFL!! Actually it turned out to be a success anyway. The turbine stayed together at that speed! The problem is Physics. The vanes on the turbine are breaking the sound barrier! I got the turbine design strong enough not to break, but it made this horrible scream doing it! Makes the job fun! LOL!!
Best Regards,
Russ

running comfortably at 3.6ghz. the cpu and mobo temps have not increased a single degree (according to everest ultimate edition). my ram is running at 1066 (533 x 2) exactly on the 400mhz strap. my cpu vcore is at 1.248v. not even a hint of a BSOD or reboot. I luv this mobo. be even better when/if I figure out all the advanced settings/features. gonna run orthos for a while now.

Busy as always.

He's even talking about a new build maybe later this year but I think he will either use the X38 or X48 depending on some of the results these fine fellas get!!! :D
How is ddp?? I like the idea of the "U" shaped work bench... smart....
....gm
Hope my update about docTY is ok with all.... especially the fine Doctor. ;)

Morty if you don't mind try Core Temp and see what it says. ;) Nice little progie and it seems to do a fine job.
Nice temps under load but (sorry I has questions...) why are your "idle" temps as high as they are?? I would think you would run in the mid to high 30's not the 40's. Just an observation... :D

you must have missed this post I made earlier. ambient temp is 74F.

Me thinks he'll put the whole thing back together and'll be posting 'till 4AM as to the status of his work. My first build came after working 12 hours and getting home to find the box sitting on the kitchen table with a note from my daughter asking how soon she could play with her "new computer". Needless to say at about 3AM it was sitting outside her room ready to be plugged in and turned on later on Saturday morning when she got up.

@ddp,
fine thanks.... Busy as well with work and the 3 kiddies.... :D
@Morty,
I did miss the post about the ambient temp. ;) How much "better" do you think your temps will become with some "burn in" time?

welp im home now. and to my disbeleif. i open the box and theres a new gigabyte box///holy cow....
but pulling the mobo oit of the box it looked different... so i looked at the box again.. i dont have a GA-P35-DS3R...
I got a GA-P35-DS3L....WTF????????????
im packin it up and its going back....gonna call them in the morning and find out whats going on????

rob just in case someone used the wrong box... check on the mobo itself and make sure it says "P35-DS3L" and NOT "P35-DS3R" .... just in case ...

Rob,
I haven't compared all the differences but the DSR costs $50 more than the DSL. I would assume it is a better mobo.
gm,
I'm very content with my temps now. they will probably drop another 3-4 degrees after burn in. why do they look too high to you. their a whole lot better than my E6600 was. I don't expect the cpu temp will be much if any over low 50's under full load at 4.0ghz. what are are your temps at 3.6ghz?

You got it twisted! LOL He said that he got a DS3L and NOT the DS3R he was waiting for! First check for me would be to check the model number on the MB! Last MB they shipped me was in a P4 Titan box! I almost had a heart attack when I saw that! LOL!! Inside there was a new Rev. 2.0 DS3R!

gm,
core temp says my core temps are 36C and 41C idle and 46C under full load with orthos running. 9C cooler under full load. that's even better. I'm not sure which proggy to believe.
