there is no F10 for the DS3R not on the taiwan site or the usa site

That's odd... seems my bookmark wandered?
I was linking myself to the DS3 (no-R) site... glad I didn't try that!

yeah...uk site only goes up to F9

[zsamz_]

well i'm happy for now
vdmm 2.11v
pcie+1
fsb+1
mcmh+1
cpu 1,55v
idle 32c/ 52 load

Thats all I get with @bios

Hey guys,

Is it possible to run a P4 531 Stepping G1 on my P35-DS3P rev1.0 board?

The cpu support list is only talking about the 531 E0 stepping support.

[drjunk]

Ill say sorry beforehand if this has already been mentioned.
I was wordering if i have to install any sata drivers in xp installation for my P35 DS3R (rev 1)?....im just going to run 1 sata drive.....cheers

yes they work


and no you dont need sata drivers if you're just running 1 drive

have you even tried ? the time it took you tokpost this you could of had your answer.
and have you ever had to use drivers for 1 hard drive ? nope

[drjunk]

Yes....had to install sata drivers for my A7N8X-E Deluxe board, which was my last build.... many moons ago.

This should be interesting for vdroop on the DS3R (also on the DS3 I have?)

For those who can't locate that chip, it's between the CPU Fan header and 1 of the Socket 775 holes...

what the mother @#@$^& is he using locktite for!!!???

[Salem13]

From what I can unserstand on the packaging its a "Locktite Etching Repair" ... made for repairing PCB runs or old school board etchings.

[BTK]

flashed mine with f9 bios via qflash in BIOS

no post or anything

bad flash
tried all necessary cmos/jumper things

cant removie bios chip as it soldered on

rma ?

i may go abit ip35 pro

[Garrett]

He is using conductive loctite to short the resistor, thus eliminating the vdroop (if it's all true lol...)

So, anyone tried it?
I was just going to sell my P35-DS3R and go for an ASUS P5E but if it works i'll be glad to save 150$ or buy a new hard drive instead

[Cob]

I take it Gigabyte have given up on the P35 DS3P

[Mr.Bones]

GA-P35-DS4 (rev. 2.0) F9 bios is out

http://www.gigabyte-usa.com/Support/...ProductID=2585

[Lestat]

in my mind the locktite is simply bypassing the resistor thus opening the voltage up wide open. now this might be ok but what else is getting that extra juice and missing out on what that resistor does.

i have use conductive ink on a resistor before and it made BAD things happen.
i would advise that you guys NOT do that mod.
bypassing a resistor is not good. infact you want ot add more resistance to a resistor not less.

if one of you guys want to try it go for it but i dont really advise it.


on a side note i love the guy who said ALL of shaminos mods work.
that guy obviously is a retard.
shamino doesnt test ANY of his mods as many of you probably already know.
all he does, or what i think he does is measures a resistor..and says yup pencil that one in he doesnt actually try them to verify. he leaves it up to us to kill our hardware or try it to see if it works.

i've warned you guys about trusting that site and the bogus mods they post. and many of you have listened so just err on the side of caution and wait for a true mod to come to light.

dnottis even posted that the mod doesnt work (the original pencil mod)

[Garrett]

Damn just what I thought... vdroop mod DOES NOT WORK on DS3... I tried it twice with silverglue... that worked very well on my old 7900gt vmod so I know it's the right stuff... damn this ing vdroop is driving me crazy... 1.45v in bios is 1.39v idle and 1.33v under quad load

ANYONE got a suggestion for a good board WITHOUT vdroop?

[AriciU]

Asus/Dfi/Foxconn i guess. Any board which has the "vdrop" option in the bios i presume.

[fausto412]

vdrop option? there is boards with vrop option? what does this option do, how does it work??

[road-runner]

GA P35 DS4/Q6600, F9 bios, water cooling cpu and video card only, 1.575 vcore setting in bios.

So did the new BIOS increase your stability/OC or lower your temps? Did anything improve? Which board revision do you have?

I have the 2.0 version, and yes the bios helped. There is not near as much vdroop and the voltages read more on the same setting than they did before. I could only get a 30 minute OCCT at 3925 with the F7, F9 is better and has a new option for power line I think it was, right next to the vcore adjustment. I guess its for vcore.
