Gigabyte rev 3.3 are here

[Pax2All]

ClubIT has the rev 3.3 DS3 and DQ6 boards on their site 8) Supposedly Newegg has them too but they aren't posting board revision info and havent upped FSB specs to 1333mhz on any boards.

Has anyone tried out the rev 3.3 DS3 to see if it overclocks just as well as the previous revisions?

Thanks

No. It's the most recent revision, 3.3, to the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3. Previous revision levels were 1.0 and 2.0. Gigabyges claims to have started shipping rev 3.3 boards at the end of January. They are recently starting to show up at some outlets in the US. Gigabyte claims the rev 3.3 boards will support Intel's E6x50 Core 2 processors when they ship later this year. That is, rev 3.3 claims to support a FSB speed of 1333, not just 1066.

FWIW, the board (still) uses the Intel 965P chipset and Intel does not claim that 965P will support FSB 1333, only FSB 1066.
