F11b solves a lot of the reboot problems. Excellent. now i just need something that will let my rev 3.3 give more than 1.60vcore without screwing up the keyboard.

great thread, will really help me as I'm getting DS3
The F11b bios is less stable for me. F11a, I can boot at 9x357 no prolbem on my E4300. I played around with F11b for a couple hours trying many different settings but can not get the computer to boot at the same clock speeds. Reverted back to F11a and I can boot once more. F11b sucks for me
I get nothing but a endless rebooting cycle when warm booting or just shuts off and resets back to default clocks.even with the 11b bios. :rolleyes: This motherboard is the biggest POS I have ever had. This is the DS3. :rolleyes: :mad: I should of just left my Intel BX2 in instead. Most of the time if I reboot it will shut down again revert back to default clocks.
is it possible to flash the gigabyte 965 s3 (rev 3.3) with the DS3 f11b bios? or it will cause problems?i have read in a forum that its the same thing except the capasitors..so whats your opinion? does anybody tried that with success?
I think it should be fine, but I'd wait for more opinions
hm i ll wait for more opinions ..thanks for the answer , i also think that no DS3 bios will hurt s3 mobos as they are almost identical..Quote:

I have seen the odd poster who allegedly flashed an S3 with a DS3 bios, no indication as to how it was done. I have tried command line flashing with FLASH895 and @BIOS in windows and I get the ID mismatch error too. Might be an older version of the flash tool will work.
Has anyone noticed odd or higher then normal temps with the new betas?
Using F10C my tems seem alot higher, maybe it's the weather...anyone?
yes i ve seen it too..i found this link that refers to crossflashing s3 rev 3.3 to ds3 f10...see it your self..but it is in dutch and i cant understand the rest procedure if there is one..Quote:

if anyone can help us out it would be great..
Try using the old verion of @bios. I did flashed my mobo to dq6's bios before.Quote:

So now i have a gigabyte 965p-s3 (rev3.3) flashed with 965p-ds3 bios f11b .This can be done as i said before only with @flash32(included on the motherboard cd) and NO with the latest @flash which is located in gigabyte site.
All tests passed succesfull orthos(still counting) and 3dmark 06...I didnt notice as far any differences from s3 f8 bios .
Man, BIOS F11b is great! I've been posting in this thread since August 2006 and my E6300 has never, under any circumstances, hit 3.2 GHz. Now I'm stable at 3.2 GHz 5-5-5-15. 4-4-4-12 still causes issues with my D9GMH, but I don't really care any more. I'm going to try for 3.3 this weekend.
aldamon, what vmch are you using? I presume +0.3v? 4-4-4-12 may be taxing on mch so requiring more voltage there
+0.3V and I still have my fan on the Northbridge. I've tried everything over the last 8 months but 4-4-4-12 just isn't going to happen for me. 5-5-5-15 is fine. I'm happy. :toast:Quote:

Bios is now F11b . My memory runs 4-4-4-5 48hour orthos stable .
4-4-3-5 will make orthos crash after 9 hours .
I am running 470 fsb 1:1
Also keep in mind I can only put +0.3 on the dimms , which is 2.06 real V .
If I put more the board will not post .
I also noticed the F11b bios has very slightly less vdroop , but not enough to drop voltage on the cpu in my case .
With every other BIOS (F3, F4....F10, etc), I could only use +0.2 on the VDIMM. Anything higher crashed Orthos within minutes. I've tried +0.4 with 11b because the release notes for 11a said 4-4-4-12 worked @ 1000 @ 2.2V, but I don't think I tried +0.3 at my current FSB. I will try +0.3 tonight just to be sure. I'm pretty sure it will crap out though.Quote:

You guys with low vdimm restrictions could try vdimm mod to raise baseline a little. You can do by pencil if you desire. so for example if your sticks are 2.1v anyway, just set baseline until it goes from 1.8v to 2.1v. Then you'd have the ability to stretch to 2.3 or 2.4 depeding on how much you can change vdimm in bios.
Note though it may or may not work, since the higher vdimm might not be a bios issue but rather a board defect. I've seen it in a lot of ds3's, and two of mine were affected by it too.
Which is the latest bios for DS3P ?
An official beta from gigabyte DS4 bios F9d?
http://tw.giga-byte.com/Support/Moth...me=GA-965P-DS4
Does D9GMH work well with the latest bios? Or does it still have problems with stability and/or frequencies? And does any of Gigabyte's P965-boards make high-pitch noise especially when oc'd?
Gigabyte has an official beta for 965P-S3 - Beta F9D~

anyone tried new BIOS release?
Tried new bios release for DQ6 F10D beta. so far so good.. i did not try overclocking yet. although i modded for vista activation. not locked :banana:
:slapass:
