Hi guys I have the GA-P35-DQ6 board and I love it for how COOL the PWM runs under load 1.58 Vcore. Though I've replaced the thermal pads with AS5 on NB and Ceramique on PWM area and SB.

It holds my Q6600 G0 overclock at 3.75GHz pretty nicely.

But as you all know this board has one BIG problem with PCI-E X16 port falling back to x1 randomly. I have tried upping the PCI-E Voltage up to +0.3 and setting PCI-E Frerq. between 100-115.

No matter what setting I choose it falls back to X1 after a reboot or changing the boot device in bios and 99% of the times I have to power down the system and literally pull out the graphics card and reseat it to get the full X16 bandwidth back again.

Anyone out there knows precisely how to tackle this problem?
That was the main reason i ditched this board within a week...

PCI-E 1x prob appears when u're using MCH voltage over +0.2v. Try to lower that and see what happens. If the high vmch is required for your oc, then either lower your oc or get another m/b...
