Forward: official GIGA 965P-S3/DS3/DS4/DQ6 beta BIOS

[opti]

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.

Well, we've been all the way up to F10 for awhile...

He has a ds3p. The only bios for 3.3 is f4. Sorry.

does your board has any cold boot issue before rasing PCI-E voltage? how about after?

Has anyone tried running memory in all 4 slots (not necessarily at the same time) above 820mhz?

I've just installed 4x1gb of Crucial Ballistix, but one of the slots (DDRII2/left-hand red one) refuses to budge over 820mhz

The other three slots will all let me boot all four sticks at 1000mhz.

I'm not even sure if that's grounds for RMA considering that the spec only goes as high as ddr2-800.

I just got a new beta bios for the DQ6, will work with Rev 1.0/2.0/3.3 etc.
Very early beta dated 13th Febuary 2007 so one can assume a later build exists by now.

No changes from what i can see, nothing except the copyright date within the Award bios, it now reads 2007. More observations to follow...hey!...at least GB will still support the DQ6 for awhile yet.

[cool_dude]

Richard do you have a website as to where the new BETA bios's are released?

I have the same problem with my S3. That same slot actually killed one of my sticks running stock voltage (2.0v) after a few weeks. I've been running 3x512mb for months now... I'd run only 2x512MB if BF2 didn't get choppy with less than 1.5gb...

One of my ram got raosted too eheheh... damn!

My two 1GB Patriot 800LLK sticks are fried
Bought two cheap 667 512MB sticks a week ago, running them with default voltage and memtest throws errors (windows does pretty good job dealing with this, it does suddenly reboot PC only when I run something mem-hungry like Battlefield)

So I set those 667 sticks to run at 533, Single channel mode, CPU not overclocked, still getting memtest errors. boosting volt to +1 or +2 doesn't help. WTF is going on with this board?!?
DS3 rev1 F10

hey, that's what happened to my ds3 board as well. Although it still "works", there's sign of water on the socket, so I doubt I'd be able to rma
