welllllll...... gigabyte where is this micron D9 fix ? cuz it sure as hell isnt in the F8beta...
man you guys how freakin hard is it....
it works on the DS4 and the DQ6 so get off your arses and look at the DQ6 and ask yourself.. ok what did we do different... and then make the DS3 do the same as the DQ6
well i was having 2nd thoughts about buying the biostar Tforce 965P board but now i aint.. screw this crap...
Damn Damn Damn! today I flash to new released BIOS DS4 F7b and test it Micron D9 problem not Fixed I cant go over 1000 5-5-5-15 like F6 F6b F5 ... and also when I oc my system whilst boot heard long beep and system turn off and then turn on and boot with saved settings
anyone know whats improvments of new release?
Tanx but I want to know is patriot EP series (4-4-4-10 default) or SL series (5-5-5-15 default)Quote:

HamidFull: No, my memory is the Patriot 5300 .... although it runs at 438 FSB perfectly stable 24 hours at 4-4-4-9, with the F8a BIOS, i can push it up to 450 FSB and failing only an hour later on the ram stressing test ... what timings should I use? ...
Lestat, why are you always the exception?Quote:

I don't think IRQ sharing's as big a deal as it used to be. The past couple boards I've used have shared the video card with one or two other components.
Also, I've unplugged all usb devices cept for mouse and had the issue. It's no matter, things look ok now.

and im not always the exception Ken..
who else in here can make their micron D9 run higher with the F8 Beta???
Just got my ocz vx2 in, and as off now ( treid for 10 minutes because I don't have more time atm ) I can run stock with em but I can't even duplicate my own max with the elpida ic's, I'm still on F7 atm will try that beta as soon as I get back. Ow, they booted allrighty though first time in, must be that the elpida was running 2.2v to :PQuote:

Damnit I can't believe I bought 500E ram and now I can't abuse it :mad: I was ready to pm Ryder or something for help hehe didn't follow this thread so closely about the ram issues. I thought it had been resolved already guess I should think less and read more :banana:
Ken, please, Lestat aint the only one.
alright.Quote:

can't make hers run above like 486 i think. but i THINK, she is using the D9GMH not the D9GKX like the gskill 6400 HZ.
it was said a while back that the GMH was running a little higher.
so ask them did they fix it or what ?
and what were they testing with.
i understand that they just last week purchased some gskill ram so ask them IF its working then we NEED to know exactly what settings they are using to make it work.
you also gotta remember, and im sure you know this. the DS3 s the only motherboard on the market that i am aware of that can NOT run the micron D9 properly.
the D9 as you know can easily do 1100mhz 4-4-4 to 4-5-4 at 2.3 and 2.4v
ask them and see what they say ken please.
guys finally what we should do with Gigabyte Crappy BIOS??
Get Asus 965 Series or wait for F12 or higher?
I'm flashing now, I'll report back :)

i will have mine tommorrow morning
if its a crap board then honestly for $104 bucks i will be disappointed but not upset,, its only a low budget board.
Gigabyte are officially PISSING ME OFF!
Read this: Dear Sir,
Thank you for your kindly mail and inquiry. About the issue you mentioned, here are the test result:
BIOS QST Auto
F1 2000 RPM 2600 RPM
F4 2000 RPM 2700 RPM
F5 2000 RPM 2800 RPM
F6 2000 RPM 3000 RPM
We suggest you enable QST with lower Fan speed
At last, if you still have any further question or suggestion about our products/service, please do not hesitate to contact with us directly. We will try our best to help you resolve the problem ASAP.

This message from GB was in response to this message i sent them:
Listen, obviously i am not making myself clear or technical support staff cannot understand what i am saying. With F4 bios **BOTH** my Evercool PWM fans WERE working and controlled by bios which resulted in the RPM of both fans being reduced and reducing noise, since updating to F5 and F6 only the CPU_FAN header is controlled by bios. With F4 **BOTH** the SYS_FAN and CPU_FAN header were controlled in bios and lowered the fan speed on both fans.
Model # for the Evercool is EC9232M12BP. You don't seem to understand that Gigabyte have modified the bios so as fans connected to the SYS_FAN header is no longer controlled by bios and as such fans connected to the SYS_FAN header run at their full RPM speed.
The fan is not faulty, i have connected both fans to the CPU_FAN header, both fans work fine. THE CPU_FAN header **IS** controlled by bios, but the SYS_FAN header no longer is.
I have also connected a 3pin Cooler Master fan to the SYS_FAN header...it also runs full speed, when i connect the same fan to the CPU_FAN header it lowers it's speed and is controlled by bios.
Please pass on copies of these messages to the engineering team responsible of creating bios updates for the DQ6 motherboard...have them TEST the problem, let them see if they can replicate the issue.
This is the only way to get a resolution as these back and fourth messages are not helping me, a paying customer, and many others who have the same problem.
Put it on the bench and test it, then issue a bios update to fix the problem.
Now...are they just not GETTING what i am trying to tell them?, why did they enable Intel QST????????
Dammit, YES the SYS_FAN speed gets lowered when you enable Intel QST....but the damn POINT is with bios upto F4 you didn't NEED to enable Intel QST for the SYS_FAN header to be controlled by bios. I don't want to enable Intel QST for several reasons.
It uses up 16MB of systems RAM, it requires a driver to be installed in Windows and more important you can't adjust the DIMM, MCH, FSB and CPU voltages in bios with a global reset happening or the good old shutdown/restart cycyle kicking in.
They just don't seem to understand what i am trying to tell them!
And they are running is single channel, most folks run dual channel.
Look at the picks, it PROVES my point...in one they have Fan Speed Control method = Auto + Fan Spped Control Mode = Auto...the fan runs 2960RPM.
Now in the second screen when they set Fan Spped Control Method = Intel QST and Fan Speed Control Mode = Auto the fan runs 1885 RPM.
And that says what??????.....says that you now have to enable Intel QST for the SYS_FAN to run at lower speed, wheras before with bios utp F4 you could set Fan Spped Control Method to Auto and the SYS_FAN speed would be lowered...but with bios F5 and F6 it no longer is.
New driver for the Marvell LAN chip, actually seems more recent then what Marvell have on their own website:

Richard I have problem with my Big Typhoon Fan too when I set Fan Speed Control Method = Auto, Fan wont start when boot!!! I have to set Fan Speed Control Method = Disable (Fan speed = Always 100%) to start it with system boot!! I share this problem with Gigabyte but they told me is my Fan problem!!!!! My BigTyphoon works fine with my DFI LP UT NF4 Ultra-D anyway its LAST TIME that I become Donkey and bought motherboard from Gigabyte and YOU?? until now we found several BIOS problem with G brand!! and worst support
correction from my previous post i cant get any higher than 415 with my computer with the DS3 and e6400 and the ballistix....
Haven't had much time to play with DS3 F8A but it won't post at my old 450x8 settings. (E6400 + Patriot PDC22G5300LLK) That sucks!
i just bought one ds3 rev c2 to play with and so far no problem..
it run perfectly at 1st start, then i straight away oced to 430x8 @ 1.375vcore, others setting @ auto and passed orthos @ 5hrs.
Another FYI, i did a "dry fit" on the new Scythe Ninja Plus rev. B on the DQ6, no clearance issues around the CPU area. Clears the heatpipes and capacitors/MOSFETs...save for one issue, the the 120mm fan installed it overhangs the first DIMM slot.
As such it will be hard to remove the DIMM without taking off the fan, a minor issue. I plan to have two Scyhe fans in push/pull...my E6600 arrives tomorrow so we'll soon see............hey those Asus muppets have 165,000 hits on their thread, we can't have this!
Keep on posting! :-)
can't wait to hear results Richard :), this new bios hasn't helped me. Not really bothered I'm at a sweet spot right now anyway :)
HamidFull: The EP Series ... I got the ram for 130 dollars ... 5300LLK .... 2 GB ... god damn 2* the price sold for it @ newegg now
