Realtek releases drivers almost weekly. It has been that way for years and years.
And they also have x64 drivers even for cheapest NICs. Shame on 3com, Linksys and Dlink! :down:Quote:

Hello !
I have a problem with P35 DS4 board.
I downgraded BIOS to F3 and when I start the computer, after detect all my HD's, systems said AHCI BIOS Not Installed.
I tried to upgrade to F4 again, and the problem still here.
Anyone know when I solve this problem ?
Thank you
There is an option in the bios to make hard drives look like IDE to the OS. If u previously had the option set to raid/ahci mode then that might be the problem. It defaults to IDE mode.Quote:

I am currently testing a GA-P35-DQ6... talk about a step up from the Rev 1 DS3!! I am able to use as much as a 0.05v lower Vcore setting to hit the same overclocks up to 3.6GHz on my E6300, and the vdroop is simply negligible. Likely the reason why. ;)
For anyone using Micron D9 based memory over 1GHz must change the RAM DLL setting to "Option 2" otherwise they are going to have unexplained errors, crashes, and BSODs under special conditions. Coretemp is a great indicator, if you use Micron D9 RAM at PC2-8500 but leave "Option 1" as default, you can start Coretemp and it will likely BSOD your system. I could reproduce this like clockwork on both my Gigabyte 965P-DS3 and P35-DQ6 boards... this goes away when you use Option 2. Yes, you can install Windows with "Option 1" set, but there is that 1% of instability even at fully stock speeds until Option 2 is set.
Once switching to Option 2, I have had zero issues with my 2GB of Crucial Ballistix 1067Mhz RAM, absolutely none. I'm using the BIOS the board shipped with (The only one I see on their site) which is F4. It is a far cry from the buggy first three BIOS releases for the DS3 of old. :) I'm currently halfway through a 24 hour Orthos run at 3.5GHz. I can get 3.6GHz stable, but so far I can't seem to stabilize my E6300 at 3.73GHz yet. It's stable enough for browsing but not Orthos.
Ive not tried option 2 yet and I have crucial pc6400 ballistix 2 x 1Gb, and coretemp is usually the first program I load to test. Running at 562Mhz ram with 1.95v, although my cpu is clocked at only 3Ghz. Can do 3.2Ghz but at orthos load 3Ghz can touch 65'c aircooling.
Your issue with option 1 might be related to having a fast clocked cpu (or not, but only could test that).
I've never had any problems with 4GB of D9GMH and option 1. Option 2 just likely increases drive strength to the DRAM.
Windows XP installed normally, so I first assumed the Micron D9 RAM was a non-issue with this new board... however at fully stock settings as soon as I tried to start Coretemp it toasted the system. Considering the system was stable at it's stock 1.86GHz, infact it was running 5-5-5-18 and not 5-5-5-15, there is no reason for it. I did manually set the correct RAM voltage of 2.2v. By default it was running at the rated 1067Mhz speed... I am faily sure this issue with Micron D9s only becomes an issue with RAM at or above 1GHz. I did fix the voltage typo in my above post, should have been 0.05v... :)
another q, how does this board run with OCZ 8500 SLI Edition or OCZ 8500 Reaper HPC? 2x1GB... I'm gonna hold off from 4gb for now and ballistix 8500 just shot up in price in the UK. (at crucial.com)

I'm starting to have suspicions that the some of the bios settings for memory timings in the F4 bios are innacurate or broken. Standard performance seems to give better bandwidth than turbo or extreme and looser secondary ram timings seem to offer greater memory bandwidth. It's all a bit confusing for me.
I also seem to have a mhz (not a fsb wall) with my cpu. I can run orthos for hours at 3.6Ghz (8x450) on my E6600 @ 1.54xxx volts, but even increasing the bus speed to take the cpu even just 80mhz higher results in a crash in orthos after a matter of minutes or seconds, regardless of voltage used.
This is also true if I use the 9x multi and clock up from 400mhz fsb. I can post @ 3.8ghz and get into windows with a bit of a voltage bump with acceptable temps but it will do anything except pass at orthos.
This past week I added a new D5 pump to my water loop to help my existing D4 and put a #5 nozzle in my RBX block, which have lowered CPU temps under load by over 10 deg.C, but this hasn't helped. I'm a bit rusty at the overclocking lark but I'm not that green and I am starting to wonder if this board (or bios at least) has issues.
Like I said just use F3 BIOS.....it'll give you better memory performance than F4.
I probably won't get believed about the RAM, but maybe this will show I know at least a little about what I'm doing. :cool: This was almost like a completely different chip from when I did the same OC on my Rev 1 DS3, not to mention it needed less volts. Due to image size I'm only using hotlinks.

I suspect if I was willing to use 1.6v I could take a potshot at 4GHz, but I'll leave that for a different time. I did verify the P35 chipset is on par with Nvidia's regarding RAM overclocking... I got this Ballistix kit up to 1220MHz @ 2.4v, fully Memtest+ 1.7 stable. :)
Just tried it now, I've noticed that the performance option has vanished and that I had tomanually select the PCI-E speed to 101mhz. I'm running at 475x8 as I type this but orthos still bombs very quickly. :(Quote:

As I said previously, I used Memtest+ 1.7v to verify the Ballistix RAM was stable at 1220MHz on the P35 chipset. Considering the 965P chipset couldn't push the RAM above 1100MHz at any voltage, there has been some serious improvements made between the P35-DQ6 and the 965P-DS3. Memtest works just fine. ;)Quote:

I wish Gigabyte would use a NB temp sensor on this board... Even the fins above the VREGs are only just a bit warm, and I don't keep the AC set that low I thought... :shrug: I don't use screamers for fans, I like my silence. :) Also the lack of a TRC setting is a bit miffing, it's an outstanding board but Gigabyte could be doing a fair bit more to improve it further to make it a perfect one.
534FSB Settings (As I best recall, & still being changed):
Memory: "Option 2"
FSB: +0.10
MCH +0.15
PCIe: +0.05 "just because"
Will try some more GPU overclocking at a later date with that PCIe voltage setting as the 8800GTS clocked over 600Mhz core on my old DS3 without issue.
Reality did strike, the last break between Orthos runs I dropped the CPU multi down to 6 and kicked up the FSB... my DS3 was capable of an absurdly high FSB but this specific DQ6 board simply cannot run a 560FSB at all. It makes it to windows, but the system will seize a few seconds into Orthos no matter the MCH and FSB voltage settings. Further overclocking to even 3.8GHz was like I hit a brick wall, as it would load windows but that was it. I'm not sure the board is capable of running the 540+ FSB, at least not until a few more tuned BIOS updates. 3.73GHz is as high as I am going to get out of it after all. :)
I have a problem with DDR voltage: my 2x1GB DDR2 Micron D9DQW "fatbodys" run 24/7 1:1 400MHz@4-3-3-7@2,25V(+0,4V). Until today I was unable to increase DDR voltage to +0,5V(crash after booting into win-->loading antivirus and stuff...). Today, mysteriousy, it booted @+0,5V(2,35V) and I did a little test: http://ceemic.pri.ee/c2d/509spii.JPG
But I can't use +0,6V; crash(BSOD) before loading win:mad:
I have tried w/ F1 and the newer F2 BIOS...
I have Corsair Dominator 2x1024 8500 C5D and I wonder if they use micron D9 memory chips as I am no more able to have a rock stable system with DQ6 and F4 bios, even at default settings.Quote:

If I can find the F3 bios, I will check with that one.
Ceemic, since you are using the DS3 you should check what the actual voltage the RAM is getting. My old DS3 could not deliver volts higher than 0.04+, if I tried it would make the RAM unstable. The new DS3Rs could be the same .
Brama, your RAM uses special handpicked Micron D9s... Default settings equals "Option 1" PLL settings, so that is why I suggest that you try Option 2 and manually set the voltages. I have not used the F3 BIOS and have no intention of doing so, F4 works great with Option 2 set for my Micron D9 RAM.
ey all, as no one has replied to my other posts, i thought I would repost and use pictures. as you can see the p35c-ds3r has a different set of resistors than the regular ds3r in the area where the vcore and vdrop mods are to be done. I tried soem guess work with no avail, but the board did not die so al is good.
here is a pic of the vcore/vdrop mods for the ds3r from the vr-zone review.
(original site -> http://www.vr-zone.com/index.php?i=4966&s=10)

if anyone could tell me how-to find the vmod points for vcore and vdrop, or better, upload a picture with info, would be much appreciated!!!
Is the PCI Clock on these new Gigabyte P35 boards locked at 33 Mhz when raising the FSB? There is no way to directly lock the PCI bus in the BIOS and I don't want to fry my PCI cards from overclocking!
Yes it's locked.
Thanks, Cob. I emailed Gigabyte earlier to ask them this question and they said "there are no options to lock the pci bus". Of course I know there is no PCI Lock in the BIOS, but Gigabyte could have told me they lock the PCI bus to 33 Mhz by default when raising the FSB!
Seriously now, do you think anyone would have been able to hit those moster 500+ MHz FSBs if the PCI frequency wasn't locked? Doh...
1) will TR Ultra 120 xTreme fit a DS3R/P mobo?
2) is there a "cmos reloaded" option in DS3P ?
i'm pretty sure there is nothing like that on DS3R, but could'nt find infos on DS3P.
thanks :)

guys, i just bought this mobo 2 days ago.. just wonder what's the best bios for now (my board comes with f3 bios), and what software should i use to update the bios from vista 32bit?
thx!
Stick with thos F3 BIOS.....Quote:

I'll post pics in a bit - this needs to be seen!
Edit - I've got a 10C drop on the NB temp, inspite of increasing the voltage!

Tomorrow I will get my DS4 and I want to know if first I have to mod it.
Thanks
EDIT: Just in time! :)
My advice would be to check it as a matter of course. I'm fortunate in that I don't keep my mobo in a case! I think I would have been still off-line taking my rig apart otherwise.Quote:

hey all
probably not the best place for this question, but i'd rather not start a new thread.
i'm going to grab an e6600 along with some 1066 ballistix, but i'm unsure of what mobo to get. i'm currently stuck between the DS3r and DS3p. i once considered the p5k as an option, but these gigabyte boards look too good ;)
anyone have any recommendations? i'm leaning towards the ds3p right now.

Wow, P35 supports PCI-Express 2.0 :clap:

Is it mean future BIOS update will able to enable PCI-Express 2.0 support in current P35 board? :rolleyes:
Can I install Scythe Ninja on ga-p35c-ds3r with no problems?
can someone tell me the overclocking capabilities of the P35-S3?

Hello P35 Giga owners:
After my unsatisfied experience with the Asus P5K-Deluxe, I'm thinking of switching the board to one of the higher end Giga P35 boards.
I've a few questions to ask here:
1. Does the 12phase P35 DQ6 really that better than 6phase P35 DS3P in terms of better future compatibility for quad-cores? If it's just for C2D, how much differences will there be btw the two?
2. How's the quality of the stock heatpipe based heatsinks on the DQ6? Is it firmly seated on top of the MOSFETs and NB/SB?? Did you had go through the hassel of removing them and reapply the thermal paste??
**Will a backplate based heatsink like the popular "Zalman" CNPS series CPU cooler fit with the DQ6's "Crazy Cool" back plate on the back of the DQ6's mobo??
3. I've read through all 6 pages on this thread and I'm still not too jumping up and down about the DQ6 or DS3P. Performance and stability wise, how do you think your boards compare to the Asus P5K-Deluxe NOW and in the FUTURE? (One thing I read is that the DQ6 is cooler than P5K-Dlx, especially in the MOSFET areas)
4. Any known major flaw in DQ6 or DS3P's overclockability? future BIOS fixable?
5. Asus P5K-Deluxe has a wonderful feature called "CPU Voltage Damper" and every PK5-Dlx owners including myself find it really works wonders, literally little to none "Vdroop" at all. I wonder how's the Vdroop on the DQ6 or DS3P in particular??
Much appreciated your help and suggestions :)

Thank you VERY MUCH Rithina for the generous reply, that was quick!
Yes, I'm awared of the FSB strap at 417 but just wondering how much higher do you need to go above FSB417 to cover the lost of memory bandwidth starting FSB417?
For example in the Asus P5B-Dlx, FSB Strap starts at 401 and FSB400 has the greatest amount of memory bandwidth and an user has to go all the way pass FSB450 ~ 466 to be able to acheive the same memory bandwidth as at FSB400.
If you've overlook at the graph and u've a graph in mind, you should know the curve I'm talking about :)
Thanks again
ya P5B deluxe is 400 but P5k start at 500 afaik.. but the soon release bios i heard you can change the strap for P5K..but gigabyte there is no details yet.Quote:

OK, so i am using beta F5g bios and have upgraded to the Corsair PC2-8500 (1066Mhz) memory as recomended on the Gigabyte QVL. I've come to the conclusion that my CPU is limiting my FSB and won't go above 450FSB....no matter what setings/voltages pumped through bios.
I can get 3.4GHz ok, thats still pretty good considering...maybe if i pumped 1.5-1.6V through the Vcore i get higher...but those voltages scare me.
My ethos is, the best performance with as little voltage mods as possible. So i've been working on the memory and FSB/DRAM ratios to see where i can get.
So right now i'm at 3.420GHz with 380x9 and 1.400V Vcore. Memory is running at 1140MHz with 2.250V. I'm using the 3.00 ratio in bios. Performance set to Standard, not sure about setting Turbo...possible stability issues when overclocking?
Can someone take a look at my Everest benchmarks and see if it's good or bad?

I got a new beta bios for the P35-DQ6...F5x...hello?, "X"...what the hell?
I must try it, maybe it was relabeled or something.
New P35-DQ6 review, also note...i'm told that GB will update the pdf manual to include some new info and clarification on certain points, such as dual bios and why GB have locked out flashing of the backup bios etc.
http://www.bootdaily.com/index.php?o...=580&Itemid=56
does the p35 dq6 have any issues with intel ich9r raid controller ? cause my p965 dq6 goes crazy with the intel ich8r raid controller.
i wonder why only f2 bios for the p35-sd3r
it would be nice to have vdm adjustents by +.05 n not only +.1
hopefully we get a part of the dq6 bios
Weird, bios was labeled F5x....and in QFlash the file showed as F5x...but once flashed a POST screen shows F5 as does Everest/CPU-Z/Sandra 2007 etc.
Bios is dated the same as F5g...maybe a new bios spin later in the day or perhaps this is official F5?
:confused:
I haven't experienced any issues, see sig for drives used.Quote:

The most i got was today when it clearly increased to annoying levels when i activated the 'optimize for sli' option on COD2.
Just tried the Graphics boost option and lowered the pcix freq to 90 to no result. Any suggestion?
thare is no F5d bios.... :rolleyes:Quote:

damn just tried it
-4c on cpu n -5c on motherboard
i got 36c on cpu 1,2v 21c on motherboard +2 37c aux
memory performance is better too by .5 in latency n 200+ in read
all from everest cause easytune sayin i got 25c on cpu lmao
i'm @ 416fsp
i be gettin my pc8500 soon n will see how far this board gonna rock
TKS Pt1t
can i ask where u get it lol cause can"t from gigabyte they only got f2 posted
anyone able to run 500fsb 1:1 cas4 and run mbench? I'm looking to buy a p35, but only if it can do the above and result in <50ns latencies, and >9000 in sse read and write.
Here's the result to beat:
Access latency 47.9 ns (192 clocks)
Read datarate (INT) 8070 Mb/s
Write datarate (INT) 3751 Mb/s
Read datarate (MMX) 8712 Mb/s
Write datarate (MMX) 3773 Mb/s
Read datarate (SSE) 9158 Mb/s
Write datarate (SSE) 9131 Mb/s
That was 500fsb 1:1 cas4 achieved with my dfi p965
You're running in ide mode. That's why it shows ahci bios not installed. Nothing to worry about.Quote:

Do you have any suggestion about which memories are stable and overclockable in this motherboard?
Thanks,

Brama, I gotta agree Crucial Ballistix is great. My 8500 kit went as high as 1220MHz Memtest stable at 2.4v, and 1200MHz at 2.35v.
Logigamer, I don't see how Gigabyte setting the strap at a lower FSB matters to anyone that does plan to run 500+ FSB speeds, they would still end up needing the lower strap setting to begin with.
I played with the System Performance setting today, board defaults to "Turbo" with "Standard" and "Extreme" as the other options. I have verified there is zero difference between "Extreme" and "Standard", the memory settings & results are identical according to Memset. Anandtech verified this setting has a major impact on the DDR3 P35T-DQ6, so I expect a future BIOS from Gigabyte to enable this setting to work correctly and fix the lower performance the DDR2 DQ6 board offers right now.
Ziddey, the DQ6 doesn't beat those scores but I'd say give it at least a 2nd BIOS revision first. For the shipping BIOS it's good enough for me, I expect the performance-tuned BIOS releases to come later. :)
Thanks Kougar. If it ever does (and hopefully ds3r), I'll be biting. You fiddled with the turbo/extreme whatever memory enhancements?
edit: Kougar, I just read your info from the other thread about memory enhance. HMm... maybe next bios :)

Being a new P5K owner, I was wondering if you could elaborate. I was poking around and saw that the P35-DQ6 runs much much cooler.Quote:

But check this out!
ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/jmb36x/Option_ROM/
New option ROM, meaning a new Jmicron bios ROM, version 1.06.70...why the hell can't Gigabyte update the option ROM!!!!!!
But knbow what's :banana::banana::banana::banana:ed up!!...Jmicron have a flash utility, but bloody GB have altered Jmicron bios ROM in their own bios a labeled it Gigabyte SATA2...which means end users cannot flash to a newer ROm themselves.
Damn you GB!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone using one of these boards tell me if they support 1:1 memory operation with an E4300/E2160, ie 800fsb cpus.
Im building a cheap comp for a friend, ive been looking at the lower end 965 boards, but getting a P35-S3 would give him 45nm upgradability so thatd be nice....however I need to use some crappy 667 memory, so having 1:1 would let me get to 3GHz before starting to push the ram.
Anyone actualy got an P35-S3 or P35-DS3R with one of these cpus?

I have a DS4, and droop is non-existent. Only the normal 0.01-0.02V change i`d expect going from idle to load.Quote:

The only issue I'm having is not being able to find the options to change the RAM timings unless I'm missing something. :confused:
Yes, the P35-DQ6 supports 1:1 with 800FSB chips. The CPU support list on the S3 board's page lists E4300 and E21xx processors on the supported list since the F2 BIOS for that board.
Ashm, did you make sure to hit Ctrl+F1 while in the main BIOS screen? ;)
