Does the new BIOS fix fan speed issues? In my case, I get fan warning buzzing when the room is cool.Quote:

Damn GB!! Where is my new BIOS?
When new bios for DQ6?
With F7 is really difficult to get 500Mhz FSB.. it was easier with F4 :P
Gigabyte would release the BIOS tomorrow but announced that due to all the :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:ing and whining you have to wait another week :slapass:
Seriously I know Gigabyte sucks dudes but the :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:ing doesn't help anything. And to who ever doubts the "sucks" part I can send an e-mail I got from Gigabyte when answering to some of my questions, but i cannot guarantee you won't die laughing. I just hope that it is from an auto reply system cause i can't accept such a retarded person (whoever answered it) actually exists.
and btw Gigabyte plz release the %$#%$#ing BIOS before we are looking for a board to overclock Nehalem
my S3 is very happy with 2 x 512mb ddr 667 Ballistix @ ddr 1000 4-4-3-9 w/ 2.2v. board is at 7x500, 1.42vcore, +.3v vmch...Quote:
Anyone know if the Ballistix DDR2 1000 has issues with this mobo? Just putting this together and have 30 days to return mobo or ram (or both lol).
Is the DS3 worth it for the money vs. performance?
best $115 i've spent in a while.
I believe that I made a good choice when I purchased a pair of Ballistix DDR2 1000.Quote:

For some reason I can't get past 414FSB and be stable. I'm waiting for the next BIOS before I jump ship.
I have never been in a situation where I felt so strongly that I should ask someone to "Prove it". Show me the screen shots of everything including the cpu and spd and memory tabs on cpuz. I want to see proof.Quote:

Click for more details. Not tested much, memory maybe need only 2.2v or 2.3v, I set vcore in BIOS at the moment 1.575v, this is when I replaced my box cooling to water, CPU temps dont go pats 65 - 70 under full load whatever I tried :) Need to replace CPU with E6400 or E6600, I really want 3.8 - 4 Ghz for daily usage :woot:

I was hoping I wouldn't be swapping out the ram just to get a bios boot; had no such issues.
Yeah, I know...I already exceeded my $800 budget on the cpu, memory, vid card, and motherboard and didn't have enough for a new psu. At least it's a decent one with dual 12v. F00kin' memory has gotten ex$pen$ive again.Quote:

If they are holding a final BIOS for this reason alone I can tell you this - no one will evey buy their crap again! Thats BS.
I've been running a 515 Mhz FSB for 2 months now on a P5B-E, now show me yours?
Now there is a real rocket scientist!!Quote:

Look in page 107, but ok, if you want DS3 F8i BIOS, then get it here: http://www.esnips.com/web/garykeysBusinessFiles or http://rapidshare.com/files/3537302/965pds3.f8iQuote:

Alright - I'm throwing down here. I ordered a DS3 from Newegg, while they had them on sale, to see how the DS3 compares to the Asus P5B-E. No more speculation we'll get some real results and see if the DS3 can be stable over 500 Mhz like the Asus boards are. I've been disappointed that no one is pushing a DS3 this high. A few posts here and there but nothing showing hours of prime stability. I've got a 6300 that can run up to 516 Mhz prime stable on water, so I will kick the tires and let you guys know how the DS3 really stacks up against the competition.
Reasons for trying DS3 -
Asus has alot of Vdroop. At 1.4625 I am only getting 1.368 volts. At 1.6 I just get 1.5. So as you can see the voltages on the P5B-E are far below what the BIOS selection is. #2, more vdimm. Not that I am limited, I have taken my current ram to 520 mhz with memtest stability @ 2.1volts. But having 2.2+ would be great for high end memory reviews.
I'm hoping the DS3 is as stable and that I can overclock the same. Being able to select 1.4v and get something close to 1.4 will be nice to see ;)
I should have some results by the weekend to report.
OT: I think that is the older revision of the P5B-E. The newer revision of the Asus board is supposed to provide mem voltages up to 2.4V or something. I don't know if the droop was fixed though. It seems that recent Asus motherboards have a lot of droop, even their high end lines. I have two P4C-E's that I have fixed the droop issue which made overclocking prescott p4's to 4ghz prime stable.
I do hope Gigabyte gets this D9 issue fixed because no one else seems to have this problem.... Also the lack of firewire was a serious omission. For a motherboard over $100 I think firewire is a must inclusion these days with pci slots dwindling.
we can see new BIOS today? any link?
