wohoo, got my Q6600 G0 today! batch #L739A466. But first need to take the last tests on this dualcore e2160 ;)
Tonight Iīll see if I was right with the vdroop, I think itīs going to be huge with this quad

I've seen all these DS3 mods around but none is catered for DS3L. Shall I presume it is the same for my DS3L too? After all, the PCB and design is the same except no extra features like the rest.
Bump :DQuote:

F8 works fine.
Latest BIOS on Gigabyte.us website for DS3P 2.0 lists F8 as latest BIOS revision adding two items.
Fixing 1TB hard drives and adding loadline CPU control (I'm guessing vDroop control)
Does F8 BIOS for DS3P 2.0 cause memory errors? Are these real errors or only phantom errors in memtest86
Thank you! Seems like ASUS built in BIOS flasher! Easy!Quote:

The solid caps being the only dif between the S3 and DS3 (I think), the PCB's should be identical so I'd give the vDroop mod a go and see how it fares. Good luck :)Quote:

New revision? I JUST order 2.0 yesterday.
Anyone know if this 2.1 is DS3* wide or just P revision?
And here is why you shouldn't mess with vdroop "fixes".

"Fixing" it with a mod is going to put more stress on the CPU and the voltage regulation circuitry. Likely to cook your mobo or CPU in the end.
Super complex explanation:

For example, the addition of extra capacitors, the favorite VR circuit modification of the over-zealous albeit misguided basement-hobbyest, often does more harm than good. Understanding why there are those that attempt to make these changes isn't hard to do considering all the recent (actually, rather historic) negative publicity surrounding the dreaded "Vdroop problem" that seems to be prevalent in today's motherboards. We're here to tell you that you're much better of learning why Vdroop exists (and why it's needed), rather than attempting to hack up your expensive, well-engineered motherboard in a horrific effort to "correct" the problem.
My PCB revision is 2.1 - is that what it's in reference to?Quote:

EP35-DS4, Revision 2.1....newer P35-DS4.
It's dated for Dec 14th...a bit after we notified them of the memtest bug....hopefully an F11 is in the works to fix the bug....thanks for the update!Quote:

2.1 was not listed when I made my order with Newegg two days ago! It probably doesn't mean much, but darn I just order revision 2.0 with Newegg.
And yes, I assume 1.x and 2.x refer to PCB revision number.
Thanks you for your input!!

2.Fix 1TG HDDs
3.Special Bios for Intel@QST
Anybody interested to try PM to me.
Btw,I using F7C

Per that webpage
Difference between DS3P 2.0 and 2.1 is in Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Realtek 8111 for 2.0
Realtek 8111B for 2.1
Anyone know what feature B adds? Perhaps cost issue for Gigabyte??
I am confused .. lets examine the different DS3P boards for example...
Untill now, we had the rev 1.0 , rev 1.1 (different heatsink) and rev2.0 (different heatsink and IO connectors).
But WHAT are the differences between these new boards: EP35-DS3P Rev2.1 (newest bios = F2) and P35-DS3P Rev 2.1 (newest bios F8, with different changelogs then F8 for rev1.0/1.1/2.0 !)
They both have the "Dynamic Energy Saver" feature, both support "1600FSB" and "ATI CrossFireX™ with dual PCI Express x16 interfaces"
But these boards have a different bios version, so they are different :confused:
Notice any difference with the loadline calibration?Quote:

Myself keep enable.To early to consider some improvement.Need time with testing
Where do you get F7c and F7dd?
F7C (release 15/11/07)from Taiwan,F7dd (release 23/11/07)from GermanyQuote:

Edit my Vcore(Bios F7C):
http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/9...coreen6.th.png
3.4GHz,Bios 1.40000v.
OCCT 30min 1.39000v(idle 1.39000v)
Thanks Stasio, the F7C Bios got my 3.8Ghz overclock OCCT stable. The Vdroop was the only thing letting it down and the loadline calibration option cured it (or at least reduced it).
Guys, I going to get an E8400 from my local shop in 12 hours from now. But I still not sure whether will my GA-P35-DS3L (Rev 2.0) can support this 45nm processor. The change log of the F6 bios only stated "Support Intel 45nm Yorkfield CPU". Need some opinion on this.. Can support or not? Thanks
