Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Thread

Those of you discussing the board resetting your oc, do you have the P35 version, or the new EP35 version?

how do I change my ram speed to 800mhz in these BIOS?

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

Memory Frequency (Mhz)
The first memory frequency value is the normal operating frequency of the memory being used;
the second is the memory frequency that is automatically adjusted according to the CPU Host Frequency (Mhz) and System Memory Multiplier settings.

So I found myself bored and intoxicated, thought I'd see how fast I could get this thing to boot and at least run SuperPi 1M. I ended up at 538x8, on 1.6v vcore, for 4.3Ghz.... 4.4 wouldn't load windows :P Here's a couple screenies:

note... I run this 24/7 at around 1.3 vcore, trying to figure out what it'll do stable and relatively cool for the summer, It's going to end up being around 3.7-3.8ghz, not gonna get 4 without high voltages :\

I'm about to buy the new EP35 version, is this a good mobo for a first time OCer? Or should get a DFI bloodiron. I'm on a tight budget so I need it to be not too expensive.

I bought a P35 around end of april and RMAd because of this but the new one from a few weeks ago is also BAD this way.

I tried F8b and F8F, they both came with F7 and I even tried F6. Seemed better when I kicked up the Vcore but still drops settings on cold boot. Thank goodness for profiles (and I tried NOT using profiles also).

At least it's stable now but I would really like to resolve this whole dropped settings thing. GA CAN YOU HELP US?!?! WE'VE BEEN WAITING!

I've got my q6600 oc'd to 3.4ghz w/1.35 vcore. In order to make it stable I had to increase the northbridge and southbridge voltage by .2v. As I am a noob and this is my first oc I'm looking for some feedback on increasing the voltages on the NB and SB and also a utility that monitors those temps (or at least NB temps). Any help or feedback would be appreciated.

I'm having trouble hitting 400 FSB on my E4400. I'm just trying to hit 400 because I plan on getting an E8400 and I want to OC a lot. I've tried setting the FSB and MCH to +0.2v and vcore up to 1.45. I have 2x2gb of G.Skill PC6400 ram. I've flashed my bios to F8f and I set my mulitiplier to 6x, still no go. Anyone have any ideas or is it just not possible with the e4400? Also, the highest FSB I can get past post with is 375.

How do you guys monitor your northbridge and southbridge temperatures and voltages? The bios isn't very specific as to what the voltages are and I can't find a program to look at the temperatures.

Thanks.

hey friends, for those of you that remember my fault mobo, that didnt saved the bios changes, i got the latest GA-P35-DS3 rev 2.1, Bios F12 overclocks like HELL!!!!

Question, My system is Low temps and 10000% stable in those:
Q6600 G0 running at 333*9=3.0ghz
Memory Kingston XyperX 1066 Runing at 800 / Auto 5.5.5.16
factory says 5.5.5.15

Question Because i Use all 4 Slots , How can i have a STABLE system ruuning all 4GBytes in 1066??? by changing the 2:4 to 3:2 and +2v to ddr2 doesnt give stable system!

best seting for 4gb XyperX kingstons at 1066 anyone??? tnx
