DS3 - F9 Bios OUT, DS4 - F7 Bios OUT!!!!

Super Tigers · 30 Dec 2006 at 13:08

Just flashed to F9 and it has held onto my overclocked/undervolted settings.

Running 300x7=2.1ghz at 0.975v with EIST disabled. Idles at 22C, loads at 28C

Ambiant temp is 17/18c with no heating in room.

God, I love this DS3 mobo and 6300 combo!

Install the @BIOS application from the gigabyte website, point it to the .rom file and flash away

PC keeps freezing during games now and only thing that's changed is the BIOs. Bye bye F7!

A cheap OEM 775 cooler that cost me £6

I am experimenting with going below 0.9v, the stock vcore is 1.3250 :eek:

No his temps are incorrect, Easytune doesn't read the temps from the CPU so the temps always appear lower. You need to use Intel TAT or Core Temp if you want the correct temps.

ahh fair enough, i use TAT + Core Temp anyway, didnt know easytune was inaccurate

Yarrr anything that reads from the Mobo temp sensor will be inaccurate iirc.

Sorry I could post a TAT screen shot last night but did one for you this morning.

Been past 3ghz but I don't need the power. 2.1ghz suits my needs, and I like it quiet and cool.

Hallelujiah! Someone who has finally figured out that you can't have a massive overclock and a truly quiet PC! And who realises that the basic power of the processor is ample for todays requirements. Thank you. You made my day!

lol nah, he can just buy a heatsink with no fan and run the cpu at 50c at like 2.8ghz or something, perfectly silent and nice and quick!

this is just really lame!

No, it's horses for courses.

Hmm, same mobo but your Mobo sensor is correct about the CPU temp, what's going on here then
