The system refused to boot with the 2.00B strap, so I set it back to 2.00D. Thanks for the info anyway. The settings I posted are those you helped me achieve way back when even 3.2Ghz wasn't stable (lack of extra mch/fsb voltage and all).

Looks ok, you may want to see how stable this would be as it may perform better >>>
CPU Host Frequency (MHz): [398-399]
System Memory Multiplier: [2.00B]
What I can say is only you can see what is stable, use Memtest86+ and orthos and see how stable it isLeave a comment:

Re: Gigabyte X38/P35/P965 (DS* DQ* S3) Overclocking and General BIOS tweaking Guide
Well, that is a good board. You have alot to learn about the BIOS that is for sure, much different then P35.
Good luck, and please do make a new thread if you need some helpLeave a comment:

Re: Gigabyte X38/P35/P965 (DS* DQ* S3) Overclocking and General BIOS tweaking Guide
I now... but try reset CMOS and NOT work....
Test other ram,other PSU,other GPU,.. and nothing,same error... only reset...
I think buy ep45 DS3R... is a good mother??Leave a comment:

1. Computer will not boot without RAM!Originally posted by ADDIER View Post
2. IF you change RAM I think you have to reset cmos/bios Look for guide in your motherboard manual
3. Computer will not boot without some sort of "graphic adapter" I think.Leave a comment:

Re: Gigabyte X38/P35/P965 (DS* DQ* S3) Overclocking and General BIOS tweaking Guide
Try all method and not run.... t
1: Whithout RAM my mother soud '' piiii piiii piii '' y 3 times...
2: Test other RAM and reset,reset,reset.
3: Whotout GPU and sound piii piiii piii 3 times
Be my Power Suply?????
O my Q6600?????
DAMAGE???????
Not show BIOS o black screen
you sure,That this damaged my mother or other component???Leave a comment:

Hi sr good day.. try your Method and not work :(--- god not have a money now for buy a new mother....
Try again whith other RAM ....Leave a comment:

Re: Gigabyte X38/P35/P965 (DS* DQ* S3) Overclocking and General BIOS tweaking Guide
How are you trying to clear the CMOS?
Try to Do it this way with only one stick of ram (tested on another PC to be a good stick) See Clear CMOS Method post # 2 >>>
If you still do not get anywhere you may have to RMA if you dont have a floppy ALREADY Connected and set as first boot device.
If you have no luck, and dont ALREADY have a floppy connected let me know and I will PM you a link with something you can try before you RMALeave a comment:

Re: Gigabyte X38/P35/P965 (DS* DQ* S3) Overclocking and General BIOS tweaking Guide
Great. Thanks! I'll try 1333 @ 3.33D.
Other than that it's been stable and fast so far.

Ya, you do not need the full 1.9 at all until you get around 1600Mhz, and even then you may or may not need it. Voltages written on sticks are only MAX Warrantied voltage ranges, this does not mean you will always need as much on all boards even at top speeds.
The lower you can have your voltages and be stable is best, just keep in mind you do have to test thoroughly to be sure of what is and what is not stable
I did however base my settings off your settings you posted, and since you are only running 402 FSB, you can use 1333 speeds but not 1600. Sorry I posted it as 1066, I did look to see your rams specs but I think I just glanced back at what you had and forgot about your ram specs. So you can use 3.33D multi and run your ram at 1333 but you will likely need a bit more volts like 1.7 or more probablyLeave a comment:
