Hi all! I'm looking to upgrade to an E7200 here soon, but I'm on the F6 BIOS. Will F6 run that chip? If not, can someone please point me in the right direction to learn how to safely flash my BIOS? Much obliged!

0-all the following steps MUST be performed with your CURRENT CPU!!
the new one is NOT supported right away!

1-so go then to the BIOS section and download the latest

2-unzip it and find the file with the extansion ".f8f" copy that to a clean floppy disk

3-restart your pc and quicly press the "END" key when its booting!

4-this will start in few seconds the bios upgrade utility

5-select update from disk divice

6-select the floppy drive

7-select the bios file

8-press ENTER and answer positive in every question with ENTER

9-wait for the bios to be upgraded!

10-when finished press restart

11-in the next restart press "DEL" to enter the BIOS and for the 1st time press "LOAD DEFAULTS" (you may skip this step)

12-restart

13-re-enter the BIOS and Reconfiqure all your settings as it was BEFORE!

14-ENJOY and allways visit the above link and download the FINAL BIOS when its released for Better Compatibility and Performance! dont forget this is only a BETA BIOS!

Hello.

Recently my mobo began beeping randomly. It does this when I'm playing a game, surfing the web, doing nothing, and pretttttty much whenever its on. I don't know what kind of error it is or what's wrong with it, but it's kind of worrying. It just does 1 quick beep. It's pretty much the same as the POST successful beep. All I've done is added a couple fan's to the overall comp. I took one off the comp and it's still giving me the beeps.

Any ideas?

Have you guys noticed that more and more places dont carry the P35-DS3L anymore. It looks like they replaced it, at least newegg has.

I got my new board yesterday and flashed the Bios to F8f. There is a setting in there that allows you to kick up the multiplier by .5 has anyone tried this and had it stick? For me it will show up in the Bios as + .5 but will not show up in Windows or any programs.
Anyone have any luck with this multiplier setting?

Thanks

Just found this thread.

I have a ga-p35-ds3l and a Q6600 G0. My memory is this gskill:

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

Timing 5-5-5-15
Volts 1.8V - 2.0V

No problems on a mild overclock to 3.0 on stock volts, the ram scales nicely without modification. However, my goal is 3.6 and I'm having trouble getting there. I've set SPD to 2.0 and followed all the other information in this thread but I'm a tad clueless on what timings to use on the ram and what volts to pump to it. Any suggestions?

Hi, In the DDR2 OverVoltage Control setting it to +.4 equals 2.05v.
Try 4-4-4-12 timings.
