What was the reason for the removal of the F8 bios? If anyone needs it, please email me.
Still can be found here
Hello all!
Have just bought a new Q9550 (must be E0), 2x2Gb Dominator DDR2’s, for my P35-DS4 Mobo (think its Rev 1.1). However I just can’t seem to get it working properly. It boots to some random points and then freezes. Most of the time it goes to “DMI update….. Success” but some times I get to the Choose OS screen but then its freeze time. Other times it won’t even count in the Raid devices.
Have tried: Changing RAM, disconnecting discs, changing SATA ports, changing SATA cables, checking all kinds of BIOS settings, (CPU idle at 23C), updating from F13 to F14a bios which I thought would help the problem, but it’s the same sh*t all over again. Only one thing helps changing the CPU back to the old E6400 then it boots right away.
Seems like I’m running out of options here, either the F14a is a bad bios (which I have some reason to believe) or the CPU was FUBAR right out of the box. Also one small remark: I have a RAID version that’s dated 080428 or something could this have something to do with it?
Please help me out this sh*t is driving me crazy!!
Regards / M
Initial guess would be RAM timings are too aggressive.
i reflashed my DS4 to 14a couple of days ago
PC could not boot at OC that it run stable 10h everest stress test
and i experienced wierd stuf with my optical ROM-s
i used @BIOS and didnt Load Optimal Settings on first boot after flashing (as it is described in tutorial for flashing)
can i have those problems because of that?
Or F14a is buged ? Any1 tried it ?
Hello!!! Can you help me?? Please!!
I have 4x1gb A-Data Vitesta Extreme 800 + DDRII on P35-DS4 rev 2.0
If I select in bios at DDR2 Overvoltage +0.25 v, PCHealth Status, Everest, Speedfan, EasyTune and other programs say they are monitoring me to 2,01 v. should be 2,05v
DDR2 Ovevoltage +0,05 -----> Vdimm does not change
DDR2 Overvoltage +0.30 ----> 2,06v should be 2,1v
DDR2 Overvoltage +0.35 ----> 2,11v should be 2,15v
The motherboard is not supplying the correct voltage.
Now I have selected +0.35 v at bios and motherboard provided to the memory 2,11v

This is the response of gigabyte:
Dear Marcelo,
Thank you for your kindly mail and inquiry. About the issue you mentioned, due to the voltage inaccuracy of the each memory module (please kindly refer to attached picture file), sometimes there may be a difference between the option you set and the actual value displayed, but basically, if the memory can work properly with the value you set, then there should be no problem with the system/memory you have.
But, if you still worry about the memory voltage, we suggest you can contact with your supplier or nearest distributor and see if they can help you to measure the voltage directly. For distributor contact information, please click HERE.
At last, if you still have any further question or suggestion about our products/service, please do not hesitate to contact with us. We will try our best to help you resolve the problem ASAP.
Regards,
GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY
Thank you!!!!
Hi guys!
Could you tell me if there are any known issues for a Q9550 on P35-DQ6 and what BIOS should I use for this CPU? Also is it possible to hit 3200GHz (easily) with everything stock except cooling? Thank you!
What would happen if you mounted a Q9550 and used the original BIOS, F3? Would the F3 BIOS not recognize the 1/2 multiplier?
Hi, I just ordered a GA_P35C_DS3R and have read through this mammoth thread picking up some info ready for it's arrival.
One thing I found reading this thread was the usual vdroop folks mentioned, never had any DMM readings showing the actual drop. Anyone have any results?
Also nobody mentions (IIRC) how the Loadline Calibration added in Bios B10 works and if so how well it works. Again, DMM readings would be cool if anyone has them:up:
I'm going from a Asus P5K mainly for the Raid, and using a Q6600. So any heads-up on what to expect is welcome. ( just don't tell me I've made a massive mistake ordering - what a lot in this thread have called 'gigabut' :ROTF: )
Great thread:clap: - should maybe of read before buying... only time will tell :)
Thanks!
Edit: about the Loadline Calibration.. I was looking at this page.
http://www.station-drivers.com/page/...-p35c-ds3r.htm
After re-reading, I think maybe the 'nur DS4' means the DS4 has had Loadline Calibration added to bios.
Again, I turn up to the party only to find it ended weeks back hehe:rolleyes:
To do list - Must win lottery... must get to party earlier...

hey guys.. i'm sorry if this question's been asked before in the 100 odd pages here, but would a p35-ds3p rev 1.0 support wolfdales right outta the box? I've been to the gigabyte website but it doesn't seem like i'm getting the right info; someone over here at problems booting up his e8400 with the rev 1.0, so i was wondering if it works
Depend of BIOS.According to Giga official site(CPU Support List), E8400 is supported from BIOS F11.
btw,latest BIOS is F12b
Anyone tell me if this is bad voltage drop?
Sysinfo in sig
Bios says: 1.332
In windows Idle: 1.328
In windows load: 1.280
I'm@3ghz and I have a feeling I can't push further because of this drop in voltage.
Thanks for the help

Just looked at the gigabyte.com.tw site and noticed the Latest BIOS is still F12b BETA for the P35 DS3P rev 1.0 board. I was hoping a lot of people would be upgrading to a Q9550 or Q9650 quad core by now, but it seems to be dead in these parts. Did people give up because there are too many problems? For people that follow gigabyte's support, will they be upgrading the BIOS, or is that the last we will hear from them?
Also noticed there are other websites for gigabyte. Is giga-byte.com a new official site?
New betaBIOS for ALL (E)P35 board released a few days ago.
