Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Thread

[johnnyxp64]

damn i have tried everything bios BIOS is STUK in 267 fsb!!!!! i change the multiplyer andi get other speeds but the fsb is STUCK at 267 no matter what value i select for it!
everytime i restart the bios posts 267fsb, and inside it it says 333for example but the cpu doesnt to nothing,

i tried reset 3-4 times, and clear all bios data, jumber etc, i manage to unstuck it for once and the bios show me 266mhz fsb, but when i trie to overclock it stuck again at 267...........................


i am ready to break it into Peaces, i am not sure if this is a reason to use waranty, i may ave to burn the bios with an other one in order to fail to boot, or burn it completly.....

can i use GA-P35-ds3L bios over to mine GA-P35-DS3???? rev1.0????????/




-------------


OMG i made a fracking mistake i quess, i was trying downgrading my bios untill i reached the F4 version where my q6600 is first supported, BUT my PC doesnt BOOT NOW!!!!
i even dried an e2140 to see if that was a CPU issus NO Luck!!!

i am i great need of the PC for my work and in my anger i propably gone too low... is there ANY way to use something like DualBios or anything to Rewrite a newer BIOS over this stupid one???

i dont get it F4 supports my q6600 g0 why id oesnt BOOT!!!!!??????

OK, I'm at a loss here, again. I've set my vcore to 1.45 in bios but when I'm running OCCT, it shows at 1.39 and sometimes drops to 1.34? Is my voltage leaching away into the nether? Why won't it supply a constant 1.45 as set in bios?

Mathematically yes it would be 2.2v but due to vdroop the results I end up with on 2 boards checking with 3 different software programs is 2.05. Since both boards gave me the same results, I figured all boards had vdroop in the DDR settings.

Thanks for the CPU-Z link fix, it worked great.. +rep.

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

This board is really bad regarding voltage drop. Read further

but be careful, I wouldnt suggest the "hard mod" just the pencil mod.

If you can eventually get it to boot "with an old CPU" the flash to the latest BIOS and get the same results that you started with then I would send it back for a replacement.

If it is too late to exchange it with the seller, it has a 3 year guarantee with Gigabyte...

Thanks for the links. Alas, I don't have even a cheap voltage meter at the moment.

Vdrop you have to live with, (unless you vmod) mine
1.262 in mit
1.236 in bios
1.216 in cpuz
bios F8f

About the multiplier:
You can't set it higher than it's locked at : 9
you can set to run 8.5, 7.5 etc
would help o'cing ram I guess, haven't done that (yet)
