Tested F8F bios with DS4 rev1.1 and i have no freezing effect.. Maybe its just you or rev1.0.
With F7 i had 500FSB no problemo, but i can not go to windows FSB500 with F8F.. BSOD etc.
:rolleyes:
ps. F8F have advanced memory settings there without Ctrl+F1.
EDIT: with F8F i had to change memory EXTREME to TURBO and everything is ok. 500FSB boot to win ok.
Some memory optimization in F8F maybe?
F7 - 3,5GHz - 1:1 - extreme - SuperPi 8M - 03m06.500s
F8F - 3,5GHz - 1:1 - turbo - SuperPi 8M - 03m05.282s
So Gigabyte actually listened and put real voltages!
But they didn't for the DQ6. :(
No love for the DS3R?
; ;
As of now, F7 final only for DS3R
DQ6 = F7b...
F7 for the DS3R has the same problem with volts. Just added support for penryn.
Hehehe Lestat you madman, PK series of Gskill don't clock that good mate as the more expensive HZ ones... but he could pull off 4-4-4-15 or such at those speeds
Flashed to the F7d bios yesterday from F3. Have been playing with it today. Voltages show as real and mem timings are there without ctrl+f1 as stated, but no improvement on overclock for me. Using the same settings as before. At least it didn't decrease.
Theres F8 final for DS4. CPU Frequency & voltages are there in this bios.
P35-DS4 F8
EDIT: With this bios i have about 10C more temp compaired to F7 ?!?
F7 - 3GHz@~1.31v@idle about 45-50C
F8 - 3GHz@~1.31v@idle about 60 and over C ..
Does this F7 final have the same "features" as F7d? At least to know if it's worth flashing it...
Does anyone know if Gigabyte's site has a support forum? I've been looking around their site and wasn't able to find anything.
They don't have a support forum, but Tweaktown has a Gigabyte rep.
They have a german support forum: http://forum.gigabyte.de
Too bad I know very little to no german at all.
But, if you post in english its possible they'll answer politely (I did once)
I flashed my DS3R/Quad from F5 I think it was to F7d and the cpu volts read a little more than they did and my temps seemed to have dropped about 3 or 4 degrees. On a side note I see overclockersclub.com is giving away two complete custom rigs for Christmas, an AMD rig and a Intel rig...
Anyone troubles getting over 560 fsb ?? can't get it higher on the P35-ds3r.
Flinch & Krohling, thanks for the info. Too bad I can't read German either.
