    Exclamation Gigabyte, you really need to fix the DS3P!!!! PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!

    I have the rig as in my sig. I have had constant troubles getting this mobo to overclock even 1 mhz past stock. Cut a long story as short as possible in the end after spending around 8 hours scouring the net I find that some people with earlier versions of my board having similar troubles. Basically the symtoms are it looks like you have had a botched overclock, the mobo auot reboots back to default settings and the CPU host clock control goes back to disabled and the PCI-e frequency goes back to auto and the pc is back to stock.
    The solution to this problem was to remove the current Nvidia card and install an old PCI card, get your overclock back shut down the pc put your other card back in and off you go. That works great But, if you do get actually get a botched overclock you lose everything and then the proccess of removing and installing cards begins again. Now that isn't real good to do especially when I have just finished building the rig with the gpu watercooled and the E6600 has a big fat vapo tube running up to it around the gpu and all the water cooling.

    So please can someone here with a bit of curry in there bit give Gigabyte a nudge and get them to find a fix for this in a new bios release as I'm just a poor bastard who spent all his money on a new system thats as stable as horse crap on a pitchfork.

    Thanks.
