sorry, forgot the date. Tomorrow i will post some screenies.

[Richard Dower]

I'll be trying this bios in the next couple of days and report back...god willing it'll fix some of the memory issues.

[Tenkian]

Any chance of an updated bios for the DS4? I'm on F2 and it will not work with OCZ PC6400 2x1GB Special Ops 5-5-5-12 RAM.

Thanks for the mirrors guys, you've been of great help!

[Liudavid]

However, I still can't oc through bios with F3c. Wheneven I change the FSB even 1MHz, it will reset to default after the first boot. Is it an issue with Nvidia Display card as i am using a 7950GX2? Grrrr......

[Alphy]

Man, this is just too much. I was going to get a E6300, but with all these quirks people are having, it really sounds hit or miss. I'll wait until there are other boards besides the DS3 and the Asus.

That looks pretty good benny. At least it is booting over 400 fsb. What are your cpu temps like?

[Benny Lodewijk]

i got F3d BIOS for DQ6 this morning and already send it to you xgman. Please host it and give the link in this thread to help another user's. Many thanks before

Wow, thanks alot for the effort. :bows: :bows: :bows:

Looking forward to see if this one can fix the oc issue i am having.

[gotheb1ues]

F3d BIOS for DQ6
Yes please.

[Lestat]

471 is fine and all but it totally defeats the purpose of higher multipliers.

conroes dont react much differently with higher FSb or tight ram.
its pure cpu clocks.

bring that multi back up to 9x for that 6600 and lets see the truth of how far it goes.

if it cant break 400.. its no better than all the other boards. including its baby brother the DS3.

[orion23]

I'll try this f3d bios tomorrow evening and hopefully it will help me go past 350FSB, I am kind of stuck there.

I have done 380fsb X 10 with an E6700 for a few minutes but that's all.


I have tried lowering the multiplier to 6 or 7 and try a 400-450 fsb ( no adjustments) and it still doesn't go that far.

380fst is the highest I've done
3.8ghz 380fsb X 10 1.58V 1:1 4-4-4-12 2.1v mchv + .20

benny, still no news on new bios for DS4? :(

[Kesnel]

Thanks for the bios Benny. :toast:

Does this solve the issue of no boot at over +0.3vmch and 1.6vcore? I'll test this bios out later today hopefully.

[Tenkian]

I'm looking for the DS4 BIOS aswell, gigabyte support have not been very helpful . Here is the conversation I had with their support :

Q: Board will not post with OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Special Ops Edition RAM 2x 1GB. Tried standard Samsung PC3200 DDR2 RAM 2x 256 and board post's fine and am able to get into BIOS.

Is this RAM compatible or is there a BIOS fix?

A: These modules are not supported as the voltage required range from 2.0v to 2.2v, standard DDR2 voltage is 1.8v. Try increasing a little DIMM voltage.

Q: There are several threads on the www.xtremesystems.com forums with various people having problems with the gigabyte DS3, DS4 and DQ6 boards. The problem is something to do with DDR2 800 Ram. The board always tries to set the CAS to 3 and ignores the SPD of the RAM. As this ram cannot work at CAS3 the system will not post.

e.g. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=109170&highlight=ds4

A: Please use bootable memory and go in to BIOS and try upping the DIMM voltage.


It seems the support guy I was speaking to has no idea of the problems going on! :rolleyes:

[Richard Dower]

Benny, you're a star!...keep up the good work.

[irenic]

so sad. looks like DS4 is only a stepson of the gigabyte family :(

[AcUaViVa]

can update WHITOUT floppy?

[Tony]

If the board is booting at cas3 i can change the bios to force cas4 at boot, the issue is you will need to boot twice so the board can try to use CMOS settings.

Also if you have an 533 fsb cpu they don't seem to like ddr800 memory...must be a strap issue so try and stay with 667 and lower latency.

Let me know if you me to tweak a bios, you will need to forward the exact bios you want me too look at

[AcUaViVa]

how can change latencies in bios?

or push the vdimm up?

thanks

p.d i can't update whit a old floppy , any sytems to update bios?

thanks

[Kesnel]

Is anyone else finding that when they save and exit the bios you get a full shutdown before it starts up again?

+0.3vmch and above still means no boot once you save it, however if you save then shut it down after the failed boot and boot up again it seems to work ok.

[orion23]

Still no luck for me trying to get past the 370-380 FSB even with the f3d bios.

When updating the bios, am I supposed to update both roms with the same bios or can the backup simply have a copy of the original bios that the motherboard was shipped with?
