Got my DS3R yesterday.

running my X3210 @ 3.6ghz now.

i am dumbfounded and peeved that gigabyte still uses the retarde +2 +3. +4 etc etc voltage settings.

also even more appauling is the fact that you have to overvolt in the bios for vcore to get the proper voltage.

and not a little, alot.
1.56 = 1.48v retarded.

i also had a helluva time installing windows, infact probably the hardest time i have had in years.

lastly,,,, and again VERY shocked and pissed off that gigabyte did this sh|te again.

they are shoving all the key hardware items on the same fvcking IRQ's.
NIC's Sound cards, Video cards all need their own isolated IRQ god damn it!
gigabyte WAKE THE FRICK UP!!!


Richard -
long time no talk bud how ya been?

I'm on the F4 bios now
is there any overclocking or stability reason to go to the F6a ?????


Im using F5 official. Fixed performance issues with 2900XT for me. Not much else seems different. I hate the lack of a pencil vdroop fix. Missing my p5b-d...
