I find it funny/stupid that people want to return the board cause they can't overclock insane speeds like others can. Like a %50 overclock or more is so terrible. "Oh no i can't get 500fsb vs my sad 450fsb im going to spend $200 on a different board!!"
Honest you guys spend more money buying new motherboards to overclock when in beginning you should of got better hardware in beginning. lol
lol! markopoleo does have a point...
I have the P5B arriving tomorrow aswell, im sick of the DS3 no new bios only beta- forget gigabyte.I hope the asus is as good as my last one over 440 fsb with D9 here i come!Quote:

To be even more clear about this, I can overclock this configuration up to 4.7ghz (336fsb) using easy tune and it will test and run stable all week. But if I set the FSB anything over 288 in the bios, it will reset the configuration the first time I turn the system off and back on.
Now if you noticed, 4.7 ghz is a long way from where I run it 24/7. So I don't really think this is a feature, I think it is a problem with the bios and that is why Gigabyte is addressing it that way. As Bingo13 said earlier today, they think they found the issue with it. So we just need to be patient and it will get fixed.
And when I get my new board back from newegg, I'll give it a whirl.
So now that you all understand the real cold boot issue, we don't have to debate whether it is a feature or an error any longer. I hope!!

When you meet cold boot, bios auto-reset... etc., persistent or intermittent, no matter how you think your mobo is, you know your overclocking reach a ceiling limit, something need to change. Of course change mobo is an option :cool:
Frankly, I think you have issues...reading your posts I can see you think you're far too bright for everyone in the room...might be good for you to get outta the basement once in a while its a big world out there...st.Quote:

Yeh, reseting always happen when your mobo is POSTing, so it's nothing to do with how far you can go within Windows, they are different stages.Quote:

Just chillin' waiting on F8K with the cold boot fix.
I think we are speaking a different language. In fact, I am sure we are.Quote:

What is driving me crazy is I bought this board because it was the "one to get" 3 months ago and like you can see in my sig, I'm still testing... :mad:
It seems the same for me... :stick: I'll just stick back to DS4/F7bQuote:

Went so far as to go back to the release F6 bios for the S3, running same OC as before with F8i and not even one reboot/reset after several reboots, warm and cold. I think you need to understand the issue before making blanket statements like that.
