Hi all, I got the ga-p35-dq6 a few yrs back and have never upgraded the BIOS.
I'm now wanting to do this for a number of reasons...

Is it possible to upgrade to the very latest from the very oldest using the usb-flash upgrade facility?
Or is it necessary to jump from version to version?

I would've thought the former....

Cheers

I have problems with my temps.
I own a Q9550 and a p35 ds4 rev.2.
The one core is stuck at about 18 celsious over the other one's.
Is it a problem of my bios (mobo) or of my cpu.
I have the latest bios.

that shouldn't happen....i would remove the cooler, and cpu...clean and remount everything...then update bios. make sure the thermal compound is spread very thinly.

im using a ds3r and wondering if anyone is using a gtx260 and notice any problems. Just wondering since the board is pcix 1.0 while the card is a pcix 2.0.

Extraordinarily late reply, I know, but I'm having the same issue. I don't think it's anything to do with the fact that the board is PCI-E rev. 1.0, as my previous graphics card was PCI-E rev. 2.0 as well and that ran at x16 without an issue. If you've managed to solve it I'd love to know how!
