GUIDE: Overclocking On EP/P35-DS3L v1.3.1 [UPDATED: 10/2/2008]

[Shadow703793]

You should be fine with the E5200. IIRC the E5200 was supported since BIOS F4.

And, yes. DDR2 800 RAM will work fine.

Can someone explain how I can set my memory to its correct speed?

The memory is Kingston KHX6400D2LLK2/2G (DDR-800, PC2-6400) and the CPU is E8400. By default the memory is 667 MHz, and if I set the motherboard's FSB to 800 MHz the memory is set to 400 MHz.

^You will need DDR2 800 RAM if your going above FSB 1333.

 

[blahbalicious]

I have DDR2 800 RAM, and I'm not trying to raise my FSB above 800.

 

[Shadow703793]

^So? What's your problem? Just set the SPD to 2 and then increase CPU. Don't bother with setting the RAM to run at 800Mhz with a lower FSB. FSB:RAM at 1:1 is fine.

 

[blahbalicious]

If FSB is 800 MHz and SDP is 2, then the RAM runs at 400 MHz. SDP 4 makes it run at 800 MHZ. At least according to BIOS. CPU-Z says it's running at 400 MHz and that FSB:RAM is 1:2. However, CPU-Z doesn't recognize my memory so it could be spouting nonsense. Or not.

Im having a problem with my P35-DS3L not holding an OC and not being able to flash it. My OC shows up in the BIOS but not in windows using cpu-z and its running F7 bios and when I try to flash it with F8 or F9 its not reading the flash drive and i've tried 2 both formatted to FAT32. I did a thread on this but havnt had any responses and I wanted to look here for help.

Nice guide Shadow!

WHY THE HELL WERE MY REPLIES IN THIS SECTION FOR TODAY DELETED?!?!?!????

 

[videl]

Thanks still working on it...We'll make it better and better...

 

[tuffluck]

the bios on this MB is not like f14 or something. i think i am still on f5. i was about to start OC'ing my e6750. i have ddr2 800mhz and was going to try for 400mhz fsb x 8 to get 3.2ghz. can i not do that at all with f5? i really have never updated a bios, and i don't even have a floppy (usb drive or cd drive). i have heard you can really screw things up so would rather not do it if i don't have to.

what's wrong with f5 over f8b?

Can anybody tell me where can I get BIOS version F8 from ?
Thank you !!

 

[jsc]

RJR, I don't know either. I'm constantly referring people with G'byte Core2 motherboards to it.

@cr1pz,
for what mobo?
And yeah this should be stickied...
