DS3P Version 3.3

As pointed out above the box will still say rev2 but it will have a big sticker on it saying support for 1333. Have a look at the mobo, at the rear of the board along the left hand side top edge it will say what revision it is.

So if it has the sticker it is defo a 3.3 rev?
 
No, I guess you don't. But if you do open the box and find it's a Rev 2.0 you can send back anyway.

I'd buy it in the shop as you live in SOT and just sit on one of the chairs and open it up. If it's not a Rev 3.3 then hand it back and ask for a new one. And keep asking for a new one until you get a Rev. 3.3.

I see. So basically you have no indication of what rev board you have unless you open the box?

Yes, apart from the 1333 sticker on the box I mentioned before, the rev number is stamped on the board and can quite easily be seen without having to take the mobo out of the anti-stat bag.
 
My rev 2 had no 1333 sticker on the box but i did get mine elsewhere. There is nothing wrong with the rev 2 boards, in fact some say they clock better. I am certainly happy with mine.

Only the rev3.3 has the 1333 sticker on the box. Mine is a rev2 DS3P, got it for around £75 + postage costs and am very happy with it.

That saves me taking the mobo out to find out if mine is a 3.3

I got the DS3P from OCUK last week as well, the manual states its rev 2 but the box states it supports 1333fsb cpu's which i believe is the rev 3.3.
Are there any markings on the board to indicate what rev it is?

In CPU-Z it says that the boards is rev 2 so I assume it is considering it says on the manual as well.

Well, with my legal beagle hat on, the specification very clearly says it's a Rev. 3.3 so you should send it back and ask for a Rev. 3.3 and they should pay the carriage in both directions. It's clearly inaccurate as they are advertising the Rev. 3.3 and supplying a Rev. 2.0.

Tbh Im not bothered about the revision and if I sent it back for a replacement it would not only leave me without my PC for a few days but I may get sent a faulty or poor clocking board.
 
I'm also confused as I bought my DS3P from OcUK last week. The box has the 1333FSB sticker and a sticker saying Rev 3.3 (I checked the other day), but the manual says Rev 2 and CPU-Z says Rev 2. I haven't been able to check the back of the board itself yet as it's now in my case, but I've got to take it out soon to fit my new Freezer 7 Pro.

Could it be that Gigabyte changed the boards but didn't bother reprinting the manuals or changing the Rev number programmed into the board? It would be good if OcUK could have a look at a boxed DS3P in their stock and maybe ask Gigabyte direct. If they're selling Rev 2 boards in boxes that state Rev 3.3 they would be inadvertently breaking the Sale of Goods Act through no fault of their own. That's certainly an issue they would want to take up with Gigabyte.

I think Gigabyte have probably just saved some money and stuck the rev 2 manuals in with the rev 3 boards, but like you I havnt had a chance to take my mobo out of the case to check the revision number. CPUz reports the rev number as C2 on mine.
 
You don't need to take the board out. When installed in the case have a look at the bottom left hand horizontal edge, the ver number should be stamped there. The manuals are all the same as according to Gigabyte they've 'optimized' the track layout of the board to give it the official 1333 stamp but nothing else on the bard has changed.

Currently got my e6300 orthos stable at 3ghz (430fsb) at 1.275v in bios with CPUz showing vcore as 1.246v. I think my memory is holding the clock back (geil pc6400c4) so I need to play around a little with it to see if I can get more out of it.

Try PC Wizard for voltage measurements www.cpuid.com - it's from the same people who do CPUz, but the voltage routine works in PC Wizard ;)
