I have a small workaround that I use when the bios resets. I have a similar gigabyte mobo GA-P35-DS3R. The bios is probably not the same but something you can try. When you're done entering / adjusting all the bios settings, before you hit the f10 to save and exit, hit f11 to save the...

I got the Coolermaster Hyper TX2 w/ 120mm fan. The fan on the heatsink is a no-name brand fan I picked up on ebay that had good rpm and air-flow.

Hey brewabeer, Thanks for helping me out with OC'ing my rig. You have the same processor that I do with the g0 stepping. While I was finding a good bios setting to OC my computer I actually ran my computer (with too much vcore) with full load on all cores and the temp went up as high as 82C...

just a small update - just bought the Thermalright Ultra-120 on ebay. I probably wont see it till the end of the week but when it comes in I can do some real OC'ing. fsb 400 just around the corner!!

I'm back. For the heck of it I tried fsb at 377 (3.4ghz). I had to up the vcore to from the 1.33v I had already set for fsb 356 to 1.36v, cause otherwise windows would crash after running prime95 on all cores. I was able to get a kind of stable performance but the highest core temp was...

My bad. I thought VID meant the core voltage. I stand corrected. thank you Jantar. As far as my VID, looking at core temp it reads my VID at 1.2125. I have the q6600 with g0 stepping. Let me continue when I get back. Got a lunch date with my GF.

Hi Jantar and thanks again for your help. Here is my current bios settings. robust graphics booster (auto) CPU clock (x9) CPU Host Clock Control (enabled) CPU host frequency (356) PCI express frequency (100) C.I.A.2 (disabled) performance enhance (standard) system memory multiplier (2.40) high...

I think I'm getting it guys!! I found what I was doing wrong. I had both the "CPU Enhanced Halt" and "CPU EIST Function" disabled but I had enabled the virtualization technology option and disabling it did the trick. I've been running prime95 on all four cores running all at 100% load. The...

Thanks veedubfreak for your suggestion but as a OC'ing noobie I need to know excacly what I have to 'enable / diable' in my gigabyte bios cause it's probably right there in front of me (so to speak) and I'm just not seeing it cause it's named differently. I've done the ctrl+f1 to access the...

Thanks brewabeer, I want to try out your settings cause I noticed that even when I change the FSB clock to 333 and restart, the computer will only run the default 266. I want to turn off speedstep but I couldn't find it anywhere in my bios. Where is it supposed to be and would it be named...

Hi guys, Thanks for all your help but something weird is happening. This is what I've done before I reset everything back to auto again. robust graphics booster (auto) CPU clock (x9) CPU Host Clock Control (enabled) CPU host frequency (333) PCI express frequency (100) C.I.A.2 (disabled)...

I've been adjusting the cpu voltage from 1.35 to 1.45 but I can't seem to find the correct voltage needed to push my cpu from 2.4ghz to 3.2ghz. (Unless I'm doing something wrong in the other settings.) I've listed below what I've done to OC my cpu to 3.2 but I can't even get Windows to...

Hello, I'm a noob on OC'ing my computer and I need a little help from a OC guru who's familiar with the gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R rev.1 mobo. I've done extensive search on guides and tutorials to help me but there is one thing I just can't find in my bios. On all the guides I've been reading, it...
