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

[SySTaXer]

naw man, from what i remember ASUS P5B-DLX had a simular bios setting and it was even worse about the x1 pci-x issue, its not just gigabyte

So asus boards have the same issue and apparently it gets fixed by changing PCIE freq but not in my case or probably GAP35-DQ6's case. I cant get back full PCIEX16 even when I change PCIE freq to 101-110-105-115-120

I have a bit of interesting info here. The gigabyte forum rep wich I talked about earlier had to say this about the PCIE issue:

I talked this with our RD, yes this will have this issue in p35 chipset MCH Voltage limited .
sometimes when over MCH Voltage: more than 0.2v, your system can even search no VGA card. we suggest you can just +0.2v for overclock. if you want overclock more, you can over Voltage for cpu, ram..., it will be better.

So P35 chipset does have problem with any MCH voltage higher than +0.2



Anyone knows if X38 behaves the same when using high MCH voltage?
