Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Thread

Flash people Flash , cause i wanna know myself

[mustkill]

i gotta ask you pros again

i have been trying to boost up my gfx on the PIC-E MHz freq on BIOS (version F6 i think)
and whenever i put it up to 130MHz (now 120MHz, stock 100MHz), it would not boot up. It would go to a screen saying: "Boot from CD/DVD. Fail to boot from DVD DRIVE, please insert disc and restart" or something similar. It also happens if i put my CPU up to 2.90GHz as well

i really need help and i am quite desperate... +REP for any help at alll!!

(yes i am that desperate)

I don't know why you are raising it up so much. I usually leave my PCI-e frequency at 100mhz.

isnt rasing the freq overclocking? and thats the whole purpose of oc (to increase peformance?)

I don't think raising the pci-e bus increases performance all that much. I just leads to instablilty (ie: what you are experiencing at 130mhz). You should drop down to 100mhz and then run a few graphical benchmarks then raise it up 5mhz and do that same tests, so on and so forth and find where the sweet spot is for the pci-e frequency.

Ah. Ok. But i dont think its a stability problem. I could not even boot up! Anyway, What about my cpu then. It causes the problem mentioned before on my first post.

So it gives that error message when your PCI-e frequency is at 130mhz. And it also gives the same error message when your PCI-e frequency is in a normal range and your CPU is at 2.9ghz?

Does it boot fine when your pci-e freq is at 100mhz. If so then it is definitely a stability issue with the pci-e freq. Raising that frequency even a little bit say 10mhz can cause instability and even cause permanent damage to your card. Be careful...

Go google the F8 BIOS if you want to know if there are bugs or glitches with the new BIOS.

You should wait till other people have had a chance to flash to F8 BIOS and wait to see if they report any problems.

I already searched the internet, but I wanted to know if anyone on this particular site had tried it yet.

I went ahead and flashed to the f8 bios to try it out and so far I have not noticed anything different as of yet. I have only used it for about 16 hours though, so if anything comes up I will be sure to post about it.

Be careful, you can damage your video card, and I don't think it offers a performance advantage. Sometimes a small boost of a few mhz can help stability though.
