Gigabyte DS3 :HIdden Advanced Chipset Features (NOT Ctrl+F1)
i was trying some new cpus and ram on my ds3,
during my last reboot,
in the post screen, and instead of the usual IDE scan
it instantly showed a message about configuring fans
and the system rebooted
After that,in the main bios screen the order of the fields changed...
A new field under the title "Advanced Chipset Features" has been added
in this menu there were only the two options shown in the pic below
(the manual doesn't even mention these things)
also in the PC Health field i could now see the temps of the MCH & ICH!!!
the only info i found about the HECI1
was a pdf from intels 965 page (link
After loading the bios defaults
the hidden menu vanished..
been trying since then to renable it but nothing so far
Were the two "Advanced" options enabled by default? If so I won't worry about them probably don't need them anyways :P but the temps are very cool to have. Wonder if anyone will be able to find a way to get them back permanently... thanks for sharing!

yeap
i did like to be able to check those temp readings
as for the other settings , yes they were enabled by default
but i don't know if thats a good thing or not
platform:
DS3 (BIOS F4E)
E6300 B1 ES
A-DATA DDR2-533 512Mx2 (elpida -5c chip)
ATI RAGE-XL PCI
hitachi 80G IDE 2M
when I try to oc my new rams,several days ago
set FSB450 1:1 5-5-5-15 +0.5V,but its failed
after reboot into BIOS,when I push ctrl+F1
the advanced chipset features window showed
MCH temputre was show 63c
when I put a fan on it,the temputre still 63c
but when I use original rams (transcend 667 elpida -6e chip)
everything is ok
Easy one this one...go to bios, enter PC health status and choose to configure you fans..IE enable CPU fan warning etc etc...your board will enter a global reset once you F10 and reboot.
Now enter bios again and do the CTRL F1 and you will see the added advanced chipset option.
No bios mod needed

thanks Tony
(Honestly though, i can't think of one reason
why they should not mention about that in the manual...)

not working for me either
what bios ver do u have?
global reset is only a reset or the one when it shuts down and powers on?
my f4e bios makes it only reset even after the fan metod control is changed

ok, Tony, with all the respect. It does NOT work ;]
And plz answer, me this time, these questions:
what bios ver do you have?
and what does "global reboot" mean? is it this one where you get a red warning message, the system shuts down, waits 2-3sec and powers on?
if so i have no global reboots since i've upgraded to F4e bios.
And pictures:
I've had this
and changed to this:
then there was a normal reboot, i went into bios and pressed this
and nothing... :|
my boot screen /sorry for the poor quality/
bios ver: F4e

You boot to bios, you set like i set in the harware monitor section, as you F10 the bios spews out some message about enabling something and global reset...it is in a red box in the middle of the screen.
You then reboot and enter bios....once there you have to ctrl f1 to then see the advanced chipset option.
That is ALL I DID LOL...nothing else from a cmos clear, if your board does not do it i have a different rev to you. This board was bought from Fry's round the corner from OCZ...its nothing special.
