Any F6 feedback yet....I 'm not brave enough to be one of the first ones.

F5 and F6 bios run my pci-e slot in x1 mode at 400fsb and above. My 8800 gts just loves this and rewards me with below the teens framerates in my games.

Upgrade to F6 using @bios enable the options Clear DMI and clear PnP?

Go into the BIOS on the next boot and choose "load Optimized defaults"

F10 to save.

Let it post and detect all the hardware.

If you do not want to go to windows hit F12 and stick a memtest CD in the DVD and choose that to boot from.

Reboot

Change your settings to what you want. Make sure that the PCIe bus is set to 100Mhz!

Post and enter windows........

Then recheck if the PCIe slot is going X1

Nothing works, still the same :banana::banana::banana::banana:. This really is only happening to me isn't it. i don't get it though the f4 bios is fine if i flash back to that i can run 480fsb and not get my x16 slot crippled.

Got it solved, simply increasing the NB voltage did the trick. Can someone else test this?, use 400fsb no nb voltage increase check x16 slot mode with cpu-z or everest.

Shamino posts those pictures and doesnt test them, he is GUESSING that those mods are working.

i was going to say this when i posted the picture but i didnt.

Shamino's original 965 DS3 mod would blow up your motherboard, litterally, it would kill it.

so why he still does it.

well, in my eyes that shows he doesnt give a sh|t .

oh well.

yea, well he's an idiot in my eyes then. Dont :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing post a volt mod you havent tested ya damn jackazz.

That was an issue with the DS3 (p965) too...never had that problem with my DS3R though.

Same issue here, PCI-E @ 1x when FSB is 400 or more, none of the tips works (voltage, clearing, defaults...) it's defiantly a bug :s

I will look into this when I get my RMA P35-DQ6 back...

I did contact GigaByte about the PCI-E dropping speed issue on this page: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/ServiceCenter.aspx Please everyone having the issue do it so they can fix it in a next BIOS release.

Hi guys,
I've a problem with my p35 ds3p
when I set Gmch over 0,200 the system start (in fact I listen the windows' jingle star) but the vga doesn't send any signal (all black)

what is the problem?
thanks

Someone please check your c:\windows\Options\CABS folder for a file named _desktop.ini. I did a McAfee Virusscan and it says it is from the W32/HLLP.Philis.ini virus. It is the remnants of the virus and the file inside has a date of 2007/3/27.

I installed the OS, and checked, there is no _desktop.ini file

Then I installed the drivers from the Gigabyte CD, tweaked some settings, and the _desktop.ini file is there.

It is from one of the drivers, or on the gigabyte disk, and the virus infected the disk on 2007/3/27. They cleaned it, but the file is a trace of the infection.

At this point, I suspect it it nothing more than a False Positive. But I would like someone to confirm they have this file without the virus. Thanks

I had to decrease it with F6 to get 16x over 400 FSB.

I just came to ask what I did to my bios, my 8800ultra is giving me 4500 in 3dmark6 instead of 13,500 as before, found pcie is at 1x instead of 16x, looks like i am not the only one. I guess its when I updated my bios from F4. Geesh, took me forever to figure out why my game was running so choppy. I will send tech support an email as well.

increase your pci-e freq. to 101 or 105 or 110mhz it don't matter

also increase your pci-e votage to +1 if you havent already. or +2 or whatever is needed.

Thanks!! I changed pcie freq to 105 (from auto) and increased voltage first notch (think it was +.05) and result from everest=

PCI-E x16 In Use @ x16

No idea why that fixed it but it worked. Off to dinner, when back will have to play around with that some.

^ Did you try rebooting and check if PCI-E will stick at 16x? Because If I do the same it's indeed 16x, but once I reboot, it's back to 1x again :s

Just rebooted 3x, still each time I am in 16x. I have F6 Bios, with Robust Graphics booster on fast, Performance on turbo, pcie 105, and pcie overvoltage +0.05. Dont know if any of those other settings matter.

I did try Pcie 100 and gives me 1x, 101 causes double boot and resets my overclock settings back to default in fact it wont boot up with 101 with OC, but 105 with +0.05 and I am stable on 16x. Since Lestat said to try 101, 105, 110, and +1 and +2, perhaps every system may need slightly different settings to keep it from kicking back to 1x? Or maybe different settings depending on FSB?, I am at 426x9

Might be why my 2900 was acting up, oh well I already RMA'd it...

question about revision of P35-S3.

cpu-z 1.40 says the revision of my P35-S3 is 02, but on the Gigabyte site it's said the 2nd revision will come soon... how to find my revision out?

That number is the chipset's revision, for the mobo's revision you are look on the mobo's pcb
