We already noted the good overclocking potential of Gigabyte
Ga -965p-ds3 motherboards with the last bios versions.
Without any modifications, by a simple increase in northern bridge voltage "option is availble in the bios " it succeeded to raise the bus frequency to
480-500 MHz. This was completely sufficient for Conroe processors overclocking with the use of air cooler
to get the frequencies up to 4.0 GHz.
Generally speaking motherboards on
the base of chipset Intel P965 studied showed good result; therefore as the
following object to analyse we selected the Gigabyte Ga -965-dq6 motherboard, which is
more expensive product on the base of chipset Intel P965. motherboard come with good cooling and should be oriented for amazinging overclock.
first experiments was with unofficial SLI regime :).
From the first attempt after the installation ,the motherboard was capable of 470 MHz without any problems. unsing ClockGen utility
allowed to raise the bus frequency to 475-483 MHz.
Strictly, screnn shot was with the bus frequency of 488 MHz, but about the stable work for this configuration was far to be true. The newer bios versions (last version on the official site is : F2) has for sure improved the overclocking abilities of the motherboard
Gigabyte Ga -965p-dq6.
By the way, this motherboard is already availble in the market, the
price is equal to $240. Those desiring to save
$60 they can look at Gigabyte Ga -965p-ds3, which is also
overclocked well,.
By the way, its cooling system must be in inferior on
effectiveness to the one used in Ga -965p-dq6 motherboard. This
is explained price for such motherboard but consediring lower model as Ga -965p-ds3 is look somehow overpaid for
the remaining functional possibilities.
there is also Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard on the base of
chipset Intel i975X ,it was capable to overclock ofter the northbridge voltmod and cooling to 500
MHz in fsb:
Perhaps, this resembles once more, that for successful
Conroe processors overclocking u need necessarily to raise the voltage on your
chipset but be worry to not finnsh up with a damaged motherboard.
standard motherboard on the
base of chipset nVidia nForce 590 sli Intel Edition. has,
a limitation in the fsb overclocking capability .it is limited to 330-335 MHz ,
