Gigabyte P67-DS3-B3

[warmz]

Hello guys...
I recenlty bought a Sandy setup , and i have some problems...
Since im new to OC and im willing to OC my 2500K i was looking for guides.But i noticed that my mobo which is p67 does not have vcore voltage seting..
This is the link to the mobo http://www.gigabyte.sg/products/prod...px?pid=3882#ov
And this how does my bios looks :

In Cpu Voltage area there arent Vcore seting..
I conntacted Gigabyte and told the seting is dynamic vcore.. Maybe anyone has any suggestions how to oveclock with dynamic vcore?
And why threres still no bios uptate for the board?

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

I am no overclocking guru myself but as I understand it using Dynamic Vcore is just left to auto and will automatically adjust the Vcore as it is required to keep everything stable.

It is very easy to overclock these chips/boards without playing around with the finer settings anyway unless you want a massive OC just by upping the multiplier.

it was nice of GB to get back to you... completely ignoring me

Hi,

I have the same motherboard, and I tried overclock,but nothing....PC shutdown and restart with default settings and massage:

"The sistem has experienced boot failures because of overclocking or changes of voltages.."

Then I change only value (auto) of "sistem memory multiplier" on 13.33,but again PC shotdown,restart and appear message like before

I see that I'm not the only, Thanks

Anyone help me?

Are you using the latest BIOS?   If not please update via Qflash or DOS, and then also flash the backup BIOS to match the main BIOS as shown here

Yes,new bios from GIGABYTE(f4a)

[Lsdmeasap]

Did you set the memory voltage to spec?

Have you tested each memory module one by one?  If not, please do using this latest version of Memtest86+
http://www.memtest.org/#downiso

Test each module one at a time for at least 5-10 passes, or overnight.  And also flash the backup BIOS as I mentioned above, you may need to use a PS/2 keyboard or USB to PS/2 adapter if your USB KB doesn't work and you only get the boot menu instead of backup BIOS flashing.

Tested memory ...No problems.
All settings in BIOS default.
And with other bios, all the same...Memory speed can`t be changed ...I don`t understand

[Lsdmeasap]

What memory are you using, maybe it's not fully compatible?

You may have to set the memory voltage to spec if you want to run it faster than stock defaults the BIOS sets.

[ljubisa.va]

DIMM DDR3 2 x 4GB  Exceleram /1333MHz 1.5V.

The same voltage is in the BIOS under auto.


I tried different(1.5V) voltage....unsuccessfully.

[Lsdmeasap]

Have you tried using the other memory slots?   Like use 2+4 instead of 1+3, or 1+3 if you are currently using 2+4, sometimes this helps.

Can you borrow different 2x4GB for testing?  Or maybe buy another brand, as DDR3 is very cheap these days, this way you can rule out incompatible memory.

[ljubisa.va]

No,not tried other slots.4GB DDR3 Exceleram @1333MHz here only 15 E....,Anyway,Thanks for the help.

I do not understand ,what it means that the i3 2100 supports memory up to 1333MHz?
Maybe it the problem

From Official Intel & GA site




What mean "downgrade toDDR3 1333MHz"?

[Lsdmeasap]

Please test the other memory slots, if you are using 1+3 now, try 2+4 instead.

Downgrade 2000Mhz to 1333Mhz means that memory will show up as 1333 in the BIOS, until the user sets it to another speed as 2000Mhz is not a speed option in P67/Z68

CPU or motherboard memory support only goes by official specifications from Intel, meaning defaults, you can always overclock the memory and CPU if your BIOS has the options.  Intel's $1000 CPU's only say 1333Mhz memory support too, it's just the official specification, but it can mean your CPU is limited by a max memory multi to 1333Mhz at default Bclk if you only have certain memory mulitpliers, then you'd have to raise the Bclk.  But your board has higher memory options so that is not something you have to worry about.

I'll try ..Then I'll post here.
