If you don't mind me asking, how do you switch from Dual channel to single channel (other than removing one memory stick)? Is there a setting in bios?
cheers

Loads of New bios out from gigabyte today. DQ6 F11 Final. anyone care to decode what super IO means ?
cpu temps changed now more like coretemp.
Overclocked Keyboards
glad to see another BIOS. Will test tonight :)
edit: where do you see F11 bios for P35-DQ6?
Wow, I'm loving this F12 bios. No cold boots, I can now overclock at 3.2ghz with 1.4v. I used to do 3.2ghz at 1.44v. I use e4300 and ds3 3.3
what super IO?!
Wow, my max cas 3 clock is only 50mhz higher than my max cas 5 clocks!
vMCH: 1.68V vDIMM 2.82V

Flashed ti DS4 F10 everything is ok but I dont try any OC yet

2.fixed 120mm CPU fan issue finally
Select Load optimised options... saved...flash F10 bios...reboot...no boot...short cmos...no boot...take out everything...install back...no boot...DS4 going RMA...Asus P5K coming Monday...End.
i've flashed F12 bios for DS3 rev 3.3
C1 is not working for me while overclocking , also the other cpu option in the ctrl + F1 menu (where you can select cruise -- full thrust) is still making my pc hang .
Cpu still needs same voltage as before . memory +0.4 still makes my board go into a boot loop .
So basically no improvements that i can see in overcloking nor stability .
Why isn't gigabyte not giving a changelog along with a new bios , at least then you can go look if it's better or not .
I mean super I/O ? :rofl:
Sounds like issues with your board. I disable C1 so cannot comment on that. I have no problems with control-F1, never had. Also, using .4 here I have no problems with that either. I was able to drop from 1.47v to 1.45v at
3616 overall, great bios no problems and same overclock with less volts!
I agree that they need a more comprehensive changelog.
Flash to F10 after 4 day I noticed that CPU Temp increased 4-5C in idle and load C1E EIST TM2 is enabled ... no OC test yet ... I think its bad BIOS!
Just updated from F3 to F10 on a Gigabyte DS4. Whoa what a diffrence, theres so many new options!!
Im trying to search around on XS, but if anyone has the link to hand IIRC there was a Gigabyte DSx tweaking thread somewhere...?
well, I had some problem with boot in f8. I have 2 ata100 HDD and 2 ata DVDs so I have extra pci ide ata100 card. F8 very often stop before boot. I think it has problem with recognizing hdds attached by pci ide card It finds all hdd and dvd but don't boot just stop after recognizing. I had the same problem on F7 and F8. F4, F6, F9 , F10 works fine. So i use F9 now. Maybe in F9 temp is higher but my CPUFAN works the same with F6 and F9. I don't "hear" difference between F6 and F9.
Everyone I have run into a brick wall on my DS3. :down:
I cannot overclock my E6600 above 3402MHz no matter what FSB/Multi combination I try. Anything above 3402MHz freezes at the post. Around 3500MHz I get a cycle on/off and reset.
My E6600 can run 3400MHz at 1.4V under load, so I doubt I reached the chip's max - because I have once had a Rev1.0 board that ran the E6600 at 3.6GHz before I had to RMA it, in which I ended up getting this Rev3.3 board.
I'm using PC26400 Ballistix so RAM is not holding me back, and I have a HR-05 on the northbridge so that's running well. My BIOS is F12?
Any help/suggestions?
