Well done . I have settled two Asus motherboards for friends too and now i can not rest myself with C://windows/sistem32/root corrupted stories of not booting
and i know how it will end, i will suicide . I like these DS3 , they ovclk mild 450x8 but without odd sideffects or WinXP corruption incidents , even if you change bios a million time
For those of you with the cold boot problem check your BIOS settings.
Mine was doing that until I bumped these voltages:
PCI-E 0.10
FSB 0.20
MCH 0.20

Have been away for some time and lost track of this thread around the 70-80page. So if some kind soul could answer a simple question for the DS4 board.
Was/is there a solution for the DS4 SYS_FAN speed control? My fan went 100% after leaving F1 I think. Has it been fixed or still waiting?
thx
Any word on the official F8 bios?
It's been a while!
Sounds creepy these things with the F8J issues...
As my CPU actually didn't arrive, I haven't got to test the F8J, and judging by the looks of it, I think I won't test it either...
Let's just hope for a fresh E6300 without a FSB limit. At least it should be a pretty new one, since it's brought all the way from Malaysia just for me. ;)
Gogo, 634.

so what is the best bios rev for overclocking right now?
I like f8i; not having issues (although some might disagree <ahem>) as far as stability, cold boot problems yadayada I'm good right now *crosses fingers*Quote:

Where did you buy the 2.0 DQ6?
Hello all :)
Any updates regarding news on another F8x revision?
I got mine from Actebis Pea:banana::banana::banana::banana: (a large distributor here in germany) on tuesday, but they are out of stock right now. Bcom has about 20 pieces in stock, but they also only sell to resellers. I don't know if you can buy it in other countries. I'm currently testing a new cpu. With my old setup (DQ6 + E6600 @ 1.500V) I got 3600 MHz (8x 450 or 9x 400) 24/7. My results so far (Orthos running for 10mins):Quote:

8x 500 @ 1.550 SuperPi 1M 12.984s Orthos error
8x 500 @ 1.600 error
7x 515 @ 1.425 freeze in windows (think it's to much for my D9@cl4)
I think I'll stick to 8x 450 @ 1.425, it's the same clock as with my other E6600, but 0.075V less vcore.
The board has also the same problems like not posting after restart and resetting FSB-setting and PCI-E clock. It's better to turn the pc off and back on. Hope F8 will fix it.
I'm trying to order from Alternate.de, they show rev 2.0 boards on their website....but it's a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: to translate in English from German.
Komplett.ie appear to have new stock due the 21st, but i emailed and they said they have no way of verifying if they'll be stocking 1.0 or 2.0, since they haven't had stock in weeks i assume they'll be 2.0.
But since i needed to be sure i'm trying these Alternate guys, it cost €230, what did your cost?...man i hope they don't hit me with a huge DHL delivery bill.
Are you using F7 for the betas for F8?...i assume the 2.0 comes loaded with F7 by default. 500x7 sounds sweet.
:nono: not a sausage, i doubt we'll see anything until January.Quote:

Yes, it was loaded with F7. I don't want to test a beta F8, until I'm sure it works OK. The drop on vcore isn't that much, as it was on my old dq6 and it seems to be more happy with high FSB.Quote:

You only have 1GB of RAM. Look at all of the variables in play before boasting.Quote:

Anyways, I'm looking forward to the rev 2.0 of this mobo, seems quite promising, looking at the oc potential the C2 stepping has on boards like the P5B-E Plus. That of course, is a Asus board, and I've sworn to never touch one of those again. :)
I ordered the new ga-965P DS3P Rev 2.0 board today, it looks identical to the new model (Rev 2.0) DS4 without the crappy heatpipes
I should have it by Wed ~ Tursday and will be torturing an E6300 in it, hopefully the bios will be OK :rolleyes:
Can you please tell me if the newest final bios for DQ6 (i.e. F7) still contains this horrible error, that when you set in bios vcore =<1.2V, it's 1.57V? I'd like to run my E6400 using vcore lower than 1V 24/7, yet I don't know if version F7 allows to do so. Cheers.
Where did you order it?Quote:
