I just bought a DS3P rev3.3 to go with my E6600 and Crucial Ballistix D9's. I cannot get anything past stock cpu speeds. The CPU host clock control keeps disabling itself and I have NFI why. I have done all the usual disables in the bios EIST etc but nothing has helped. Memtested the ram, switched slots and nothing.
Upon hitting f10 to save sometime the pc will reboot twice then go into Windows and its still at stock speed or the pc will shut down, everything powers down, then after about two seconds it will power up again.
I'm hoping there will be a new bios release soon as I have no option but to stay with F4 atm.
I had an old PCI card here, chucked that in an BOOM, straight ot 3ghz!! So what does that mean? I have to get a different card?
Accoding to G/b's website there is only the current F4 bios for my mobo, can I use a different bios from another G/b mobo?
Thanks.
Another update and hopefully problem solved.
It was asked of me in another thread whether I had locked the PCI-E frequency or not, I had but it also disabled itself and I did not notice it.
I put it to 100mhz and still nothing, I went to 110mhz and it showed in the boot screen that it was at 3ghz!!but it still rebooted, beauty, I'm onto something here, I raised the PCI-E overvoltage control to +0.1v and BAM!! I'm in Windows at 3ghz. I scoured every dam forum today and not once did I see this mentioned about raising the PCI-E overvoltage control, unless I was blinded by my frustration.
So I hope this can help others.
So too anyone who is seeing the same problem, try this.
