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

[jeffyjaixx]

whats your mobo revison? best revison for your memory is Rev3.3
if you dont have rev3.3 :
5400UL is Micron D9 and I think you can do Max 1100Mhz with it but try Latest S3 Bios for better Overclocking of Micron D9

Thanks for the reply.

I don't think I have revision 3.3 as I bought this mobo a few months ago and it came with F4 bios.

What vdimm would I set the ram @ to obtain DDR2-1100? 2.1V?

[ziddey]

wow 1100 with only 2.1v?

well jedec is 1.8 so +0.3v would be 2.1. You should use a dmm to verify or use speedfan to look at vcore2 (actually vdimm).

IIRC, rev2s shipped with f7 bios, so I'm guessing f4 might still be rev1? At least it sounds like it'd be c2 chipset.

Can't wait for the dfi infinity

I think shipped F4 is Rev1.0 but its C1 or C2? for find check it with CPU-Z 1.38 or higher

I think 2.1v is not enough for D9 try 2.2v-2.4v but it depends on your timings also you should test and find here is no warranty!!!

Please advise:
I have DS3 Rev1.0 C1 + 2x1GB Patriot 800LLK
I'm having problems booting since the beginning (DDR Volt already set to max) so I'm looking for new mobo.
What are the boards known for not having memory issues? DS3 Rev3.3 - is it finally fixed? DQ6 any different from DS3 in terms of memory issues? or maybe get Asus P5W-DH? OR Asus Commando?

Sorry but I saw many many Gigabyte 965 boards that cant boot with Patriot LLk at all! I personally test DQ6 rev1.0 C2 with your memory with All F3...F9 but no luck
I Talk Out this problem with my Friends in Patriot and they told that they will update JDEC for fix

but finally dont Try with Gigabyte again I think Commando is best choice for you

[burn what?]

i've built 8 systems with the ds3 and patriot 6400 LLK, none ever had a problem. rev 1 c1, c2 and rev 2 boards as well. set vdimm to +.4, which makes 2.2 vdimm, not max vdimm. probably frying the memory.

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...

How do you like the F10 ?.. I have for the moment the F4 Bios..
E6700 here STT fast ram

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

[ahmad]

ok, guys I have a little bit of problem with my DS3 rev2, it reboots it self contentiously and it wont display anything when it stays on.

I don't know how am I going to flash a bios without any displays.

everything else is working, and do I have a dead motherboard?

Did you figure out your problem? This bug happens sometimes if PCI-E is not high enough. Run it at 104-105MHz and it will boot. Or while its booting, press DEL to get into the BIOS settings, then F10 to save and exit and enter to accept. Usually works.

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

[Cob]

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.

[Richard Dower]

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?

[Richard Dower]

They were given with the instruction that the beta would not be released, it's extremely beta and could potentially cause more problem then solve.

Though right now i have my normal overclock settings in place, as seen in my sig.

I'm performing a new WinXP install on my DS3 to use my Raptors in RAID-0.
I downloaded the floppy driver from Gigabyte's website and it comes up fine during XP setup. But then I get a choice of two different chipsets, GBB363 and GBB360.
I have a DS3 Rev.1 C2. Which chipset should I choose?

I used the 2nd one on the list. I think it was one of the GBB363 options.

Thanks, I tried GBB363 now and it seemed to find the disks so I'll give it a go...

[ahmad]

Either will work.

Hey Guys,

Im having a hard time with my Rev 1 DS3 Bios F10 with my E4300 and Buffalo Firestix 2GB

i can boot 350 x 9 @ stock volts orthos stable

http://img506.imageshack.us/img506/3023/untitleddt0.png

but after that i cant do nothing.

I didn't change any settings except the ones that need to be disable to stop the multi dropping.

i would really like to run my ram higher with lower multi i prefer 400 x 8 but i cant see to get it. i tried 400 x 7 that didnt work.

what exactly can i change to get this to boot. my northbright has a 40mm on it and have a 120mm fan blowing onto it.

any ideas would really help me

have you tried 401? you leaving vmch on auto?

try conductive ink on the cpu to force it to native 266?

o my post did go through on this ops i just made a new thread, havent tried 401, and yep vmch is normal or w/e stock for it

dont really wanna do the conductive ink for 266

F10 sucks, i can't even do 400 with it.

I think F9 is a good one 450+ fsb no extra V, F7 should be good to.
