Gigabyte DS2 OC'ing

INTELCRAZY · 02-10-2007, 07:46 PM

Will the Gigabyte DS2 MicroATX mobo OC like a DS3 will? I would rather have a MicroATX than an ATX. Tired of ATX, wanting smaller and easier to show-off with.

Doubt it will OC like a DS3. Good luck.

Does anybody use the DS2? I think it will OC the E6600 just like a DS3. I guess it's a mini version of the DS3.

No. I think the chipsets are different. that makes a big difference. Also, are comparing the DS3 rev. 1, or the DS3 Rev.2? both are different chipsets.

Rev. 1 and Rev. 2 share the exact same chipset. The only difference is that Rev. 2 is optimized to support Core 2 Quad CPU's much better than Rev. 1, and it has the updated Realtek audio codec (ALC888, as opposed to ALC883).

Guys, I just discover something about the DS2 that really turned me off, it only supports 667mhz RAM. I need 800mhz to perform well, I am getting a DS3 Rev 2
