| said by jouno53  :So would upping the voltage on the DS3R to meat my memory's standard would technically be overclocking it? Will this be easy to do? No, it would not OC your memory's speed. Just give it more power. The p35 mobo comes with speed fan, (at least mine did) on the mobo cd. Use this to monitor the voltage and adjust accordingly in bios using the info explained below. If you did get the memory you said you would get in your above post, then the voltage range is 1.9 - 2.1 volts. I would initially set the voltage to 1.9 and see if that will run stable for you. Do take note that when accessing the bios of this particular board, you may need to hit the ctrl and F1 keys when on the first menu page of the bios to access the advanced options for this. Also, when you adjust the voltage, the bios will not tell you the current voltage. You will need to use speed fan to check the results. The bios memory will increase in increments of +1 +2 +3 and so forth. So if the bios default memory voltage is 1.8 by default, you will need to increase to +1 to get to 1.9 volts.
If you do get that particular memory, after installing, run speed fan FIRST. After launching speed fan, click on the 'charts' tab up top and then where it says analyze, select voltages. Select the Vcore1 box. This is your memory voltage. Vcore2 is CPU voltage. If speed fan has your voltage at 1.8, adjust to 1.9 and see how that works. |
