Official GIGA P35-S3/DS3/DS3R/DS3P/DS4/DQ6 bios/info thread

[Neon Biker]

Eh? The review says overclocking stopped at 505fsb because the CPU had a "FSB wall".

Yeah, so? I'm more concerned about the crappy performance on high FSB frequencies than the FSB wall of their CPU.

[megatron]

Yeah, so? I

So... u post a review and u state that they only got to 400Mhz overclocking, and I said thats BS cause they got to 505 (and where stopped only by CPU fsb wall not the mobo itself)! Are u a sad muppet that has bought an Asus P5K-deluxe and to justify your choice you have to discredit the competition's board?

[Neon Biker]

You couldn't be more wrong about the P5K thing. I'm really not a fan of Asus and their overpriced boards with crappy components (at least on the cheaper side of the price range). Actually the DS3R was my first choice until I saw that review. Now I'm just not sure what to do.

Anyway, you totally missed the point. Yes, the board clocks to 505MHz where their CPU hits it's FSB wall. I have no problem with that. However, I do have a problem with the part of the review where they benched at 400MHz and as you can see the board didn't put up any good scores at all. That's what bothers me. What's the point of hitting sky-high FSBs if it won't perform on par with the competition. I hope it's just a BIOS issue and that it will be addressed soon, but until then I'm not gonna risk buying it.

Just received my P35-DS4 & E6600. Very happy because everything run smooth with stock setting except CPU-Z 1.4 show Core speed of 1.6 Ghz with x6 multiplier.
I am sure my cpu multiplier was set at x9 in the CMOS.
Why??

Thanks

[Ar3s]

Intel Speedstep. when on load then you will see x9 if not it slows it down to x6.

Any newer bios coming out for the DQ6?

Heared that the Dq6 got mem probs is it fixed? I got a Mushkin XP8500

I occasionally have problems with my OCZ pc8500 when rebooting it will sometimes keep shutting on and off or reset the clock speed back to normal.

Here my two first Results with my P35-DS3R

MAX CPU-Z E6700ES Dryice !

Memtest Boot @ 600Mhz Memspeed

Max Memspeed @ 2.6 Volt

[Tutti-frutti]

Nice result, almost 5G

What modifications have you done to the board ? Vdimm mod ? Or does it overvolt a little bit, because the bios max was 2.50V I thought.

Would you please post a link to these alleged memory problems. I've heard of none.

Do u posses a DQ6?
Well I saw a guy talking about it, I forgot the post, hmzz since there is none, shall I go with the GA-p35-DQ6 in combination with the Mushkins XP8500 , and cancel my P5K deluxe order?, that really concerns me the heat issue:X

[GazC]

I'm having no problems with my DQ6, it recovers from anything my rusty overclocking skills throw at it and just keeps coming back for more.

alright, Which ram ur using btw sorry forgot to mention it

DS3R overvolts by 0.07V

P35-DQ6 driver page updated:

http://www.giga-byte.com.tw/Support/...ame=GA-P35-DQ6

Also new memory modules added to the QVL:

http://www.giga-byte.com.tw/FileList...ga-p35-dq6.pdf

The Corsair Dominator CM2X1024-9136C5D kit has been added, i have a 2GB kit of the Corsair CM2X1024-8500C5 memory en route. I am troubleshooting to see what is holding back my FSB.

Thought it was wise to get some memory on the QVL and faster then my 800MHz G.SKILL. After that then it must be the CPU holding me back and a 450FSB wall.

[GazC]

*edit: few post ahead:

I'm using OCZ 7200 Platinum (D9s) and if I overclock it too much or do something stupid it goes into the reboot loop and then comes back on at a safe setting. I think this is normal for the board and certainly beats resetting the cmos everytime I screw up an overclock.

Can someone tell when is a new bios going to appear and whatever if it will allow selecting straps?I have an P35-Dq6 and it works flawlessly with Mushkin 8500 kits but unfortunely the memory performance has to be improved.If the new bios will allow changing straps that is going to be just great Excellent board overall

Richard, I have the Corsair Dominator PC-9136C5 sticks and they just don't boot with nothing but crappy loose timings like 5-5-5 for 1:1, 5-6-6 for 5:6 or 5-7-7 for 2:3 and it only does it if you leave the ram timings on "auto"...
Everytime I go to try and tighten the timings with the Vdimm I know these sticks can handle it just refuses to boot if you overclock the cpu and goes back to default settings eg. E6600 @ 2.4Ghz.
This board so far is the biggest pain to overclock the Corsair sticks I have, My Asus P5B-Deluxe & BFG 680i boards did a far better and easier job with these same sticks. Using F4 bios.

Ah oke do u have any overclocking probs then with these RAMS, I mean they can run on p965 @ 800mhz with 3-3-3-8 / 3-4-4-8, and what is the highest clock with lowest timing u have achieved with this ram on this board?

[xwoodoo]

450 mhz with 4-3-3-8 and 625 mhz with 5-5-5-15 at 2.3v from bios.I now run them at 514 mhz 4-4-4-12 with all sub-timings streched at the limit.And i mean Orthos-stable,daily use.

http://www.crazypc.ro/forum/attachme...8&d=1180014241

This for 625,i also could do 640 mhz at 2.45v but not for daily use,just benching.

Ah thnx for the info, but could u maybe try if u can do the CL3 @ 800mhz ? would be nice to know, thnx

[Brama]

I have a pair of corsair 8500 cl5 (2 Gbytes total) that in my Asus Commando (p965) refused to boot at CAS 4 and now with DQ6 are super stable at 4-4-4-12 with F4 bios performance item set to "extreme".

Newbie here, I have some issue with my newly built PC, my system was self reboot when I run CoreTemp 0.95, this problem mostly happen only when CoreTemp was run after system just started.

I wonder whether this is a hardware problem or can be solve with future BIOS/Driver update.
Anybody facing this problem before? Is this a common problem?

I don't want to return my motherboard/RAM.

[zsamz_]

just traded in my new p5wdh n got the p35-dsr
i will post results this week
