this board is driving me nuts...

refuses to set the CAS latency to 5, sticks at 3.
Set CAS to 6 and PCI-E speed to 100MHz manually, now no boot. Keeps looping through failed POST.

the best part is that I can't reset the BIOS. Obviously that should fix the problem.... but no....

105MHz for PCIE and it should be ok

If this board can do E6600 stable at 3.6 ghz, i'll have it!

Well so far I have not seen anyone confirm that it BOOTS at 400mhz 1:1 memory..... I ordered it anyway becuase its about the only 965 board that supports the 7950gx2 so far. I PRAY i can do 400mhz 1:1 boot to pull 3.6.

After several hours of tinkering, I can safely say this board has a lot of issues. Even with stock and fail-safe settings I am getting artifacts and lockups. I have tried every pc part used in another computer and they all work perfectly fine. The only difference being the board.

so its been running at 3.6GHz now, had to jumpstart with my friend's mushkin again to get it running.

How do my settings look? anything obvious I'm missing? (why are the PCI express and PCI clocks half of what they should be?)

voltage high or low for this speed?

Gigabyte emailed me back about the ram dividors, they said they will forward my suggestion to the right department.

I guess if we all do it then they will add it to the bios :D

Hi, i'd just like to let you know that this board is missing a vital feature, memory dividers which make the ram run slower than the FSB.

Many people on many message boards are not buying this board because of the fact this is missing. Could you add this feature in a future bios update?

Thanks.

I sent that via http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/ServiceCenter.aspx

So if a couple more people do it they may listen :)

mine boots right up warm boot or cold boot at 400 FSB 9x Multi.

i got as high as 435 with a 8x multi but my ram crapped out and i already had it 1:1 which is as low as you can go with this board. which really limits things.

Started reading through the thread, but I have a couple questions:

-I do realize an E6600 won't go past 400... Is it possible this can be fixed in a BIOS revision though?

-I'm thinking of going with a Scythe Ninja (or a Tuniq Tower if I can find one) - what northbridge cooler will perform the best and still fit with one of these gigantic coolers?

Thanks.

I am a noobie. I bought the DS3 and have a PD 820 OC'd to 3.4 and a WD 2500KS SATA hardrive. Had trouble getting the HDD to work in SATA. I don't think I ever did manage it. I ran the HDTACH and got 55.5 MS search and 169 MB/s read whether I was at IDE in the BIOS or ACHI. Could someone tell me all the BIOS settings to use on the Peripherl page of the bios starting at the top in order to have SATA functional? Thanks

Just a quick screenshot of the Bios of someone using SATA? I'm running XP 64bit. ATI x1900 gt. 2 gig of Corsair xms 5400 c4.

arg, 805@3.6 failed dualprime after 4 hours... vcore up or down? its at 1.325 now

i can confirm it boots every single time at 400mhz FSB 1:1 on the ram

i can do that go back turn all overclocking off go into windows power off. power on set it to 400 right off the bat,,, reboot and she boots right up.

i have not had any cold boot issues either after powering the system down all night long.

ditto at 450 MHz 1:1 for me.

Anything higher though has problems now and then

Just double checking, but these 400+FSB 1:1 are all in BIOS not software overclocks right?

and are these dual prime stable as well?

why cant 920D pass 300fsb ...

here r my settings:

memory 1:3.33
vdimm:+0.3
vmch: +0.2
vfsb: +0.1
FSB: 286
vcore: 1.5875v

can't boot at 4.2GHz ... also when i power down the computer, and tried to trun it on, it can't

but after 3 tiems failure to boot, it load non overclock settings and i can then get into BIOS and load ovberclocked settings then reboot jsut fine

this mobo CANT boot from powered down when u OC...

Anyone else have this cold boot problem?

yes i believe thats called cold boot ... from the way u guys used that word

also 920D cant pass 300fsb .... will PCI-E clock help??

help guys ...

BIOS is F3

I've been having this problem as well. Increasing the vmch has stopped it in my case. Now the system boots whenever i restart.
I think the system is telling you something is unstable. Have a play around with some of the settings and maybe try some more vmch as it helped me.
