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

[JoeBar]

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:



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?

That's what Gigabyte rep thinks...

Indeed P35 chipset inherited a prob from 965 and that's PCI-E 1X prob. I've seen reports (very little though) about same prob happening to some P5K boards (Deluxe and Premium) but these are a minority. In gigabyte m/bs this is the trend.

I've used to own a P35 DS4 for 2 weeks and that problem was the main reason i returned it back. Grabbed a IP35 Pro and have been more than happy. No pci-e 1x prob and that brings us to the Gigabyte rep...


There haven't been any reports with X38 boards reverting to 1X.
