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

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.

Have you tried overclocking a quad on I35pro? This review wich was released just yesterday believes that the Vdrop/Vdroop is pretty bad when you try overclocking a quad core on that board. My curent board has its own Vdrop/Vdroop but it's not nearly as big as what is shown in that review. In fact I am pretty satisfied with the Vdrop/Vdroop of P35-DQ6 it's pretty slight and has not caused me any troubles wich again makes me think why such a perfect high quality board should be plagued with this annoying pcie issue .Seems like every board has its own achilles heel.
