Could you please create an updated BIOS for the Gigabyte DS3/DS4s.

Things many people would like to see in the new bios:

1.Dividers - have below 1:1 dividers available in the bios screen.

2.Ram Voltage - Allow ANY ram to be put in, regardless of stock voltage and for the motherboard to read off of the memory and boot at the memorys standard voltage. (common with some Gskill ram)

3. Ram CAS Latency - Allow user to set any CAS they want (3~5) and the bios actually saving that setting, rather than making ALL ram boot at CAS3.

I await your reply, I hope you can go further on many of our requests.

Regards,
Joe

click here to email Gigabyte with these requests.

If some people here write the same thing, but with there name on the end hopefully this will get them moving, and doing the requests. :toast:

The biggest issues I want to see fixed with the DQ6 are:

When it restarts after you change your bios settings it will completely power down before starting up again. This keeps switching my compressor on and off quickly which isn't at all healthy.

Also I'd like to be able to boot at more than +0.3vmch, all the way up to the given +0.75 would be nice.

If they could fix these two issues I'd be extremely happy.

Yup. There any more problems that we could write to them for another bios update after they've done our requests? :)

Firstly they must fix some bugs and issues with overclocking, like these: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=109747

Select "Boot from USB Floppy" in BIOS?

what about that PIO mode when using RAID? Im planning to do a all RAID for my SATA hd drives only. The IDE channels will used by DVDRW. I dont want my dvd drive breaking because of this stupid issue that should have been fixed before the first released BIOS.

This has been FIXED with F4c!!! Woohoo! I just setup RAID tonight and it all works perfectly. UltraDMA on my 2 burners!

I haven't got that card yet, but I hope that it doesn't make any problems with OC’ing.

you tried fixing pcie at 105 and add +0.1v to pcie? vmch should be able to go to +0.75

rather than making ALL ram boot at CAS3.

is that true, it can only do cl3 with ANY ram ?

cause this would be kind of hard, as i don`t wanted to buy such expensive ram, that can do cl3.....

this board doesnt make ANY ram boot at cas 3.
i dont know why people say that other than cpu-z reporting the WRONG cas timing.

there isnt any evidence to support the claims that its booting at CAS3

infacti have tested with 3 different types of ram and the system doesnt boot at cas 3 until you run the FSB down below 200.

btw is there a way to change the timings in the bios on the ds3 board? I put it in last night and didn't notice that anywhere

hit ctrl F1. Also like Lestat said th is board don't do that. My G.Skill boots at cas 4 fine and CPU reports it correctly.

yeap, this is likely to be an error in bios showing the setting rather than bios making it always CL3...

CPUz, Everest and so on...

there is not so much ram that would boot @ 490fsb 1:1 with CL 3 ;)
