I would like to know, where I can find the RIGHT spot to measure Vcore on P35C-DS3R.
EDIT: I found this: http://ceemic.pri.ee/hardware/p35c.jpg
1,3625V in BIOS; multimeter shows: 1,351V idle/load 1,356V
same time CPU-Z shows idle 1,328V/load 1,280V :S
Whats the difference between ds3 and ds3p?Worth the money?
Thank you :)
the new p35-ds4 rev 2 need any extra fans for cooling nb/sb and mofets or any kinda mods to have good cooling there? how good is it at overclocking?
i had the p35-ds3p very good board but the price between them are so small i was just going to order the ds4.
lol i just burned up my board with little water now in need of a replacement mb god know what alse it took lol :( but first thing first need new mb thanks any info will help!
add should i be worried about the psu? could i had shorted it out and can that cuase problems trying to use it with the new board? right now i have tryed putting in my old amd mb it flickers on and off but thats and thats with all the hdd/dvd players / floppy drive that was in my intell system that the water got on? thanks again!
no water at any time got inside the psu but big puff off smoke from burn board lol right at the 24 connector part of the board and the floppy drive part of the board then at the bottom of the board. error
Hi again
I would like to know what the average motherboard temp is in everest and what does it stand for....?
NB, SB, Mosfets..?
Mine is 31'C idle and goes up to 80'C + on prime95 load @3.6Ghz 1.575V in bios
I think that is very high....
Hi guys
so many posts in this thread.
I'm new owner of the DQ6 mobo and I will use Q6600 with WC (triple radiator)
It is recomened to change thermal compound with Artic Ceramicqe in the mobo's passive cooling system?
I would like to go 500FSB with CellShock 1000 2x1GB 4-4-4-12 memory
There is a link with BIOS settings and guide for O/C regarding this mobo
Thanks :)

Also it is tricky routing the wires if you don't have a p182 case with this heat sink.
If it fits the p35c-ds3r it will fit the p35-ds3r and the ds3l for sure.
I know that picture at the top looks like it's touching the North Bridge but that my fault..camara couldn't focus well enough...it's got 1 mm clearance.
I wish there were more usefull information on this thread. like when is the next bios update coming. and what else are the changes on each bios since gigabyte doesn't give much detail.:mad:
later on i added two 120 mm antec fans, running them on low at 1100 rpm...very quiet. great temps. i would like to add another one in front of the bottom hard drive cage.
Honestly reading these 55 pages hoping i'll get to see anyone mention the temperatures isn't very promising.So i wonder if my P35-DS3R board is ok while having 43*C temperature(everest) and only 20*C room temperature.Even my cpu(E4400@3ghz) is going up to 41*C after 45 minutes orthos.The mobo temperature is the same while everything is set to default in bios and when overclocked.I put my finger on the northbridge and southbridge and they really have 40*C+.Ideas or is it normal?
Just wanted to add that my DS4 gave me 1X pci-e prob with MCH voltage over +0.2v. Tried every trick i knew plus 3 bios and couldn't sort it out.
My solution was Abit IP35 Pro... :up:
i've heard some great things about that abit.Too bad we don't have them here.
hey guys, i've read the last 10 pages, but no-one seems to have an opinon on what's the best bios for the DQ6? just got a rev 1.0 should be having a bash tomorrow so would really like to know which is best, i know in the early dayz the F3 bios was supposedly better than the F4, but what abnout with the F5 and F6?
I'd use the latest, F6.
Well, I said I'd post back as to how long my RMA took for my DS3R, and it was 14 working days.
Bought it brand new from the Egg. Asked the RMA guy what was wrong with the board, he said an internal switch was flipped (they fixed) and wondered if it was an open box item.
That was a reassuring question
They finally let me in... Thank you!
I've read the most part of this thread and... it's only me or the P35-DQ6 is not such a great board after all? I think it is about time to draw a conclusion. I've been using this board (rev.1.0) for a month now and I must say that I am pretty satisfied with it, though there is a minor glitch that I'd like to mention. Therefore, I overclocked my E6750 to 3GHz and everything was rock stable. Then I tried 3.2GHz and it was also rock stable though the temps were pretty high. BUT... after reverting to the default settings (333x8) and overclocking again after a few days, I noticed that I can't adjust the FSB in 1MHz increments anymore (except the 333 default value), only in 2MHz increments. I mean even if it shows 375 in BIOS, for instance, it is in fact 374 during POST or as CPUZ shows, 377 is 376 and so on. This may not be such a big problem but it is nevertheless annoying and I wonder if there is a way to fix it. I tried pretty much everything, from resetting the BIOS to fail-safe defaults to rewritting the BIOS and even reinstalling my OS and still nothing. So I think there is no place better than this to get any more suggestions on how to fix this. And I mean really... If you, guys can't help me, I'll probably give up and forget about it. However, if this is something common with these boards and you have experienced the same weird behavior, then please let me know and I'll probably feel better. Oh... and could you post a link for the F6 bios for DQ6? I'd like to give it a try. Thank you!
I wouldn't bother that much with the system temps. Mine go up to 50 but everything I touch is not too hot (northbridge, RAM, ...).Quote:

did you reset cmos manually?Quote:

I don't think that removing the battery will change this as long as the reset was accomplished succesfully with no result. Any more ideas? :shrug:Quote:

Hehe... Maybe I'll do it when I clean my case, though you must admit that there is not much point in doing this. For now I'll leave the CPU and everything at stock speeds because I don't feel like OCing anymore. I mean I could do it but I know that smth. is not right and all the fun is gone. I bought this board after a month of reading lots of positive reviews on the net and I expected great stability and reliability from it but after this... I'll probably sell this board and buy smth. else. Who knows what might happen next. I just wonder how much one has to pay to get a reliable, stable and bug-free mobo?:mad:Quote:

Later edit: Couldn't you guys just tell me that I should upgrade the BIOS to F6:p: ? I sent a mail to Gigabyte and they answered very promptly. They attached the F6 BIOS together with a flash utility. After upgrading, everything is back to normal to my astonishment. I mean I even reset the cmos and tore apart my system to find out which the problem was and the fix was so simple... :rofl: However thank you for trying to help me.
Hi guys, just got the DS3P
is there any tips for it, i would read the thread but to buisy,
from what i gather the F4 bios is the one to use?
any bios setting tips? (i know of F1)
oh and when does the strap change on it
Can you recommend me a good CPU coller to fit my P35-DQ6 without having to remove the backplate, please?
Hmmm... recommendations for cooler w/out removing the backplate...
That narrows your options down quite a bit.
Basically U are looking for one that uses the standard Intel 4pin (push-pin) setup...
Not much I can think off the top of my head cept for what I was using, TT Big Typhoon VX..
If u have a study of Anandtech's Coolers, U will see that the Typhoon VX can still hold it against the newer coolers but uses the standard push-pin setup...
Might also be a good idea to use Anandtech's guide to do a google search on the top coolers images etc to see if they can are using the push pin method.
Not much options U have left yourself when U wanna use that backplate.
What I did on my X38-DQ6 was take the backplate off, use platic standoffs for the NB cooler after I took that piece of garbage off & used Zalman (or AS5) on the NB/SB & then proceeded to install my Ultra Xtreme...
