Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Thread

[mcj3671]

i think that may be a little bit too tall its 105mm tall and thats about 4.13 inches ill have to get a ruler out and measure it but i think its too tall and the one with the off set looks like it can work but will have to be turnd so the off set is facing the video card and im not sure if i will interfere with the pcie slot. and if its turn any other way it will have the same problem as the first with no off set. The last one just looks like it might do about as good a job as the original stock heat sink.

Is Vista set for Performance mode under System and Maintenance / Power Options?

I had a strange problem start with my computer yesterday I can't figure out what the culprit is. In the bios setting I would always set the PCI slot to 100 from the base auto setting. Yesterday I turned on my computer and it turned off and restarted as if I changed a bios setting. I then checked my bios and the PCI reset itself to auto. OK, strange. So I reset it and same thing, went back into bios after a restart and same thing goes on. I set it again and this time I get no video at all. Dead as a doorknob my card goes and dies on me after 32 days of service.

I tried it all, re-seating the card, changing PCI-E cables so I finally swapped out my old 7600gt and bang, I get video. I had recently installed the Zalman cooler but only yesterday decided to try the controller on it instead of going straight to the MB power connector. When I turned the controller down during a restart it rebooted my computer, unless it just happened to be the same time the bios would have done it so I yanked it out, then is when I noticed my card was dead.

Today with the 7600gt in there the bios rebooted once on a restart and reset the PCI to auto after I forced the 100 setting. I can't figure out what the issue is on a computer that was running stable until I installed that fan controller that came with my Zalman but I don't see how that could be the culprit.

Also on a super strange side note, the night before the first weird startup yesterday and I made a reboot into Windows I noticed that I was missing off my system the email, media player and a couple of other microsoft programs.

Has anyone else had this PCI reset problem? (Hoping it was the video card I RMA and not the MB)

Anyone have issues with usb devices at all ?? Ive been running into some issues. For example i spent an hour or so organizing itunes, then i plugged my ipod in.... Immediately my monitor shut off and within about 10 seconds the song that was playing begain to shudder or more like a 1 sec loop. So i turned the pc off by holding the power button . A few weeks ago i plugged a digital camera in and the same thing. monitor turned off and i was dead in the water at that point. Turned it off again with the power button.

So i dunno whats goin on , curious if anyone else has had similar issues. I checked for a new video driver idk but it looks like there has not been another release since December. Any ideas let me know Thanks

Do you have SP1 installed? Just wondering if that could be the cause of my issues as well. My problems started after I installed it.

Hey guys,
I have read through many of these posts, but there are too many to go through them all. I have a couple of questions and i hope someone could help; I am very advanced with computers (net. engineer), but OCin is totally different.

My setup is:

Gigabyte P35 DS3
4GB Mushkin DDR2-6400
Intel Q6660
Freezone CoolIT CPU Cooler
1TB HDD
Sapphire HD3870 VGA
Thermaltake 700W PSU



Now, i can overclock my processor to 2.7GHZ @ 1.2625V
I do not have to change any other settings and it runs well underload; The problem is when i try to bump it up anymore, it becomes unstable. If someone has a similar rig, and could give me some advice of what others to bump up i would appreciate it!!! I have tried just bumping up a couple of mhz and it becomes unstable.

I have tried upping several different variations but to no avail.

Have you set your RAM:FSB divider to 1:1 ??? and also have you tried upping the CPU voltage ? although voltage shouldn't be a problem at 2.7GHz as i can take my q6600 to 3.2GHz on stock voltage. What speed/voltage is your ram running at when your cpu is at 2.7 ???

What variations have you tried ?.. a little more info would help

It may be a long shot but have you set your "initial display first" up in the Advanced BIOS Features tab?

Init Display First
Specifies the first initiation of the monitor display from the installed PCI graphics card or the PCI Express graphics card.
PCI Sets the PCI graphics card as the first display. (Default)
PEG Sets the PCI Express graphics card as the first display

Just a thought

I second the notion than it could be your memory multiplier holding you back.

System Memory Multiplier (SPD)
Allows you to set the system memory multiplier. Options are dependent on CPU FSB settings. Auto sets memory multiplier according to memory SPD data. (Default: Auto) <--- Change to 1:1

Memory Frequency (Mhz)
The first memory frequency value is the normal operating frequency of the memory being used....(try to get them both as close as possible 800 to start out with.)The second is the memory frequency that is automatically adjusted according to the CPU Host Frequency (Mhz) and System Memory Multiplier settings.

You can also kick up the ram voltage 0.1v at a time but not over 0.3v for your brand of ram.

DDR2 OverVoltage Control
Allows you to set memory voltage.
Normal Supplies the memory voltage as required. (Default)
+0.1V ~ +0.7V Increases memory voltage by 0.1V to 0.7V at 0.1V increment.
Note: Increasing memory voltage may result in damage to the memory.
