Darb i have no idea, it is interesting to see that they programmed 2.0v into the EPP, wonder what the difference is? if anything it will just mean your revision sticks need less voltage then others. how do yours clock? same like other D9's?
For the most part I have gotten errors when trying to manually clock them. I think is due to the voltage issue.Quote:

If i leave everything stock, set my divider to 1:1, and set voltages to auto. I do get 2.0v on vdimm
None the less I will find out whats going on soon since i have RMA'ed my board.
Good luck with the RMA, hope you get a good board this time.
what are your settings at the moment?
I am still trying to decide what board to go for, P5E or wait for the x48 boards?
also eye'ing out an e8400 aswell ;)
No settings right now, board is gone! hehe
Yea But its weird Delta, from numerous boards, you are the only one who has this same issue.
If i was to get another I have no idea what I would get.
Maybe i should phone my suppliers and chat to them about this issue with the board. It didn't bug me because i saw the one BIOS update lists a problem with setting voltages for Vdimm and the RAM i was previously using was running fine at 450mhz @2.0v with 5 5 5 12 timings, so i thought when the crucial's arrive i will update the bios, tried that but it hasn't resolved the issue.
Yea I hope it is just a bad batch, but none the less I would RMA it. I mean you are PAYING for a board to perform a certain way right?Quote:

I told him that I would just RMA the board, with the local supplier, and that if for some reason that did not fix it, I would just switch brands.
Anyways, Definitely look into it. You are paying for it right? If it doesnt get fixed, ask for the supplier to trade for a different brand. In my mind, you should get what you pay for. I am lucky enough that the supplier I deal with is usually kind enough to understand this.
I have been through the trouble of dismantling my PC four times already to take back to the suppliers( its a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: getting it out with the watercooling), I know exactly what they will do, they will set the board up pop in some generic RAM boot it up and say see its fine, then i will tell them to up the RAM voltage as crucial ram needs 2.2v, which they will do, then tell me that the BIOS and speedfan aren't reporting the REAL voltages "its just an estimate" (they told me before that my constant rebooting upon starting up with the old board is because my processor is to cold, useless technicians)
Then i will tell them to get a DMM and measure the voltage (cant tell them i know where to measure cause then they will say i messed it up measuring incorrectly) which will mean i have to leave the board there with them for 2 weeks minimun, before i get another swap out (this is from the South African supplier of gigabyte)
I would rather go and buy a new board then get them to RMA this one and give it to my bro when the new one comes back.
yea that sucks.
I would do the same as well. But Luckily my supplier is fairly understanding.
Any suggestions for what board you would move to?
Maybe P5k-e?
ok, I´ve tried that ... time is .. 28sQuote:

No more P35 for me, maybe a X38 if i cant wait, but would def like to get myself a X48 (thats if they are actually released in FEB)Quote:

F9,10 have memory address issues, but my voltage issue was still there
Also F8 has a PWM cpu fan issue.
I highly doubt this issue was bios related with the numerous versions I tried, and others really havent had this issue.
Anyone with an e8400 or an e8500 running on a DS4 Rev 2 board??:shrug:
Need to see some Max FSB on this board...post um if you got um:up:
Thanks!Quote:

Do you know if there is a software that can read pci express bus frequency?
Try easy tune, it came on your gigabyte driver CDQuote:

Has Gigabyte added the option to change command rate on these boards with the latest bios'?
Thanks in advance.
F11 is the latest, and unless I missed it or its hidden, there is no option to change command rate.Quote:
