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

Anyone know EIST does not work on Gigabyte boards once you manually set the voltage? The multiplier still drops, but the idle voltage does not.

You have to disable EIST + C1E in the menu "Advanced BIOS Features".

Sorry my caps were on because no one listens to you on this forum. You have to be clocking since 1645 to be heard I guess.
Here are my full specs

Trying to reach higher bu to no avail.
Processor E6320
board P35 Ds4
minne Crucial Ballistx tracers 2gigs PC2 6400 (can really be clocked I understand)

FSB 400
CPU Host Frequency: 1.86
PCI Express Frequency: default
C.I.A.2:disabled
System Memory Multiplier (SPD): 2
Memory Frequency (MHz): 800

#CAS Latency Time:4
#DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay:4
#DRAM RAS# Precharge:4
#Precharge Delay (tRAS):12

System Voltage Control:
DDR2 OverVoltage Control:+0.2v
PCI-E OverVoltage Control:default
FSB OverVoltage Control:default
(G)MCH OverVoltage Control:default (same result med +0.025)
CPU OverVoltage Control:1.400v


NOW I have other problems.
Installed drivers 163.44 for my 8800GTS 640 graphic card. GRAW2 crashes and Lost Planet hangs. After countless installation and reinstallation of new and older drivers. I tried playing on default clocks, 1860 mhz, and my games work! Not what I want!
When i reset to my 400FSB clocks (2800mhz) TAT reads the speed at 2400mhz!. CPUz says multiplier x6 but its set at x7 in the BIOS.
WHAT gives ?

BIOS F3

I have the exact same RAM and it is rated for 2.2V (+0.4V), not 2.0V: http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/part...2KIT12864AL804

Maybe you should try to add more voltage.

I just got the memory, then I'm still trying to find the best settings for a stable OC, I'll post them when my rig will stable.

Once i hit 400FSB CPU-Z and everest report that the slot is running at x1 mode. The crappy framerates while playing games confirms this. I'm currently running 399FSB as this speed allows the overclock i wanted and the use of my PCI-E slot at full speed along with the extreme performance memory mode.

Did you try to set manually the PCI-E frequency ?
I've read that on the early versions of the P965-DS3, it helped some people to set manually the value to 100 to be able to have a stable OC. People said that it might have been due to the PCI lock not working properly.
Here is the post talking about that: http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.ph...3&postcount=10

Not sure it will solve your problem, it is just a guess, but it doesn't cost anything to try it.
