strapping nightmare! I have a P35c-ds3r using crucial (pc8500) have flashed to f4g-f4i-f4 and now back to f4g. Always starts out with a 1066 strapping, as soon as system hangs due to lack of voltage or whatever im trying it goes to 800 strapping. Of course I have to make alot more changes then. after 5-7 reboots, hangs etc. reverts back to 1066, where it is suppose to be. I also when loading OS, sometimes get a small error window saying Not for this chipset! Can not get past 3800 ( E6850) Is this about the max on air?? Thats at 1.5 v on core, speedfan reporting about 44c temp same as coretemp.95(thats load temp running prime), though have heard you need to +15 to temps on speedfan.
Is this jumping back and forth with 800-1066 strapping just a gigabyte bug?? I also have to run +5-+6 on vdimm isnt that like 2.4v?
sorry bout the unorginized post, just venting! main question is locking down the 1066 strapping , most time im tweaking this board its 800 and I thought with the 1066 ram it should stay 1066. Im beggining to think that this pc8500 is the exact same as the pc6400, just higher SPD dump. I originally thought it was tighter binned.
