[Bigwill68]

Slap the Q9950 on this Board just wondering if anybody had any good setting Oc'ing past 3.7ghz and holding it stable?

If you want specific bios suggestions, we need the following:

1) List your system components in your signature.
--> User CP tab (upper left corner of web page)
--> select Edit Signature
--> enter your hardware components (brand, model, etc.)
--> include your bios version
--> preview
--> Save when complete
Be sure to include your bios version, motherboard version, power supply, cpu heatsink/fan setup and the model numbers of all components.

2) Link to your ram's full specifications.

3) Include a screenshot that displays:
Memset using the SPD and ">>" tabs
cpu-z CPU and Mainboard screens (several instances can be run at the same time)
EasyTune6 --> TUNER tab --> ADVANCE tab --> VOLTAGE tab (only the Voltage tab is needed)

Links for these programs are in the Latest Overclocking Programs, System Info, Benchmarking, & Stability Tools thread.

there you go Conners as it looks the P35 and P45 Bio Screens are little different P45 looks like it has alittle more in it as you may known Me and (CincyRob) are friends and live in the same town and use to work together just to let you know this is my backup system until i get the reat of my new parts order for my T-power I45..I just wanna play around with this Old Backup board to see how far..I can get it up to and stable...

here's how far..I got up to

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=744333

but i believe it won't got no futher on this DS3R board there's a limit for these boards

LinX Test below


In motion and after Test IBT Results



after test



Gonna run Prime95
and go to Bed and see what I wake up with.. with Ram dropped to 872mhz

Oh yeah, ya heard of forrestang, leatherneck, or chronic_Buzz up ur way?

Re: OCing a Q9550 on a GA-EP35C-DS3R

I would try one or two notches more vcore and see if it gives higher and more unified LinX/IBT results.
Did you try to press Ctrl+F1 in main BIOS screen? The screen should flash, then enter MIT and see if there are more options there.

Know..I did'nt i'm gonna try that and get back to you and what happens Thanks


Hey Chike sense you told me to try to press Ctrl+F1 in main BIOS screen this what came up extra afterwords what's this mean my friend never seen this before
the arrows are pointing to them..
