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

Any suggestions anyone? please?

I have the same problem on my DS3R, putting +.4 in BIOS only gives me 2.06 +.3 gives me 1.9, cant get more than 2.18 out of this board even when set to +.7 the highest in bios. not easy trying to overclock D9 RAM with that voltage.

Gonna buy a new board, this is my 3rd DS3R already, have RMA'ed the other 2 already, strange thing is the other 2 didn't have this problem , if i set +.4 in bios i would get 2.25 in windows. latest one is a revision 2.0 others were 1.0

Yes this is a Rev 2.0 board.

Should I try and RMA it?

What a joke.

I'm not buying a Gigabyte board in the future. The fact that EIST/C1E still doesn't work and C2Ds have been out for over a year and half just really pisses me off. I get a good 3-5C or so lower with temps during idle operation with it enabled. I'm not exactly happy with my CPU idling over 40C when my room is 75F... I bought a DQ6 months ago pretty confident it would be fixed, because I remember it not working on my DS3s.

Which bios are you using?

Does this look off?

This is the EPP profile for my PC2-8500 Crucial Ballistix.

I know about how pc2-8500 is actually 6400 etc.

Im talking about the voltage. How for 533, its 2.0v, rather then 2.2v

Which bios are you using?

I have tried every single BIOS gigabyte has to offer, but revert back to f6 each time as its the most stable for me.

Darb 2k my setup is in my sig, just add crucial ballistix running @450mhz 1:1 with 4-4-4-4 timings @2.05v

Delta can you do me a favor?

Can you post what the SPD or EPP profile for your ram is from CPU-Z?

Im kind of curious.

Mine shows for my Ballistix a Voltage for the EPP of 2.0v at 533mhz, i wonder if that has something to do with it?

Other then that, the only thing similar is that we have am evga 8800gt.

Im thinking there is a bad batch of Rev 2.0 boards.

Bad guess...
