So what's the final word on the GA-EP35-DS3L ?

I have it. The only real issue it has is the DPC thing, which doesn't affect almost anyone anyway... other than that... has reached 400MHz FSB without complaining. Will prolly go igher. Oh yeah, no resets here with BIOS F5c. Heck of a board, if they manage to fully correct the DPC latency...

Gigabyte Boards and DPC Latency

I just flashed my EP35-DS3L with the latest F5b BIOS.... no improvement AT ALL. I'm extremely dissapointed with Gigabyte. I can't believe my 7 year old Celeron based PC gets an average of 80 us, while I have a CONSTANT 1000us. Unbelievable.

Gigabyte Boards and DPC Latency

A sucks. I thought I wasn't affected much by this problem. According to the DPC analyzing tool, mine NEVER goes above 1000... but 1000 is it's normal value. It's like 1000, 1000, 1000, 75, 50, 1000, 1000, etc. I have video playback issues. Videos play in a very jerky way. Take a look...

Minor issues with EP35-DS3L

Hey thx for the info. I currently only have a cheap Fanmate lying around, which allows me to control one single fan. I would've liked that the fans regulated themselves depending on temperatures, but meh, Ill see what I can do. About the beta BIOS... is it stable and functional, as if it were a...

Minor issues with EP35-DS3L

Hi! Yesterday night I managed to finally et some free time in my hands, and finally managed to assemble my new PC. It's basically a E7200, 2GB DDR2-800 OCZ Plat. Rev. 2, and his EP35-DS3L. I tried searching for similar topics, but didn't find any. The system is rock solid (I believe it's...

GA-EP35-DS3L as an OCing board.

Hi! I just got my E7200, but since the "old" GA-P35-DS3L was out of stock, I borrowed a cheap board from a friend to play with in the meantime. Now, I see that the DS3L is somewhat replaced by the newer EP35-DS3L, that has this power management thing, DES. I intend to overclock, not to...

CPU decided, now for the motherboard...

Hi! Well, on this thread I managed to clear some things up with the CPU (thanks guys), but thank God I managed to get some extra cash I wasn't expecting, so figured I should consider getting more recent hardware. I'm getting an E4500 with 2GB of OCZ Plat Rev. 2 RAM (really, I don't need for 4...

Paypal does, but newegg and lots of others don't even accept international CC based Paypal accounts. Yuck, huh. That Google checkout thing looks very promising, I'll check it out!

anyone sucessful installing xp on a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L with ahci enabled?

Hi! I'm interested in buying the Gigabyte mobo, so read on. After some search, I found this, maybe you didn't find it: http://www.msfn.org/board/How-...-under-XP-t109450.html. I wouldn't know if it really works, but there are several ppl there that confirm it, some of them with the Gigabyte...

I already have a nifty Thermalright cooler around, so I should get good results there too :D. Yeah, E4500 it is then.

Understanding Intel CPUs

Hey myocardia! Was starting to wonder where everyone had left to heh. Well, thanks for the replies. I know RAM is sick cheap these days, but sadly, I only have the money I got from selling my old build, and am already stretching my budget as it is :(. Although I'd like 4GB, I don't really have...

Understanding Intel CPUs

Ok, I've been reading some more, and apparently early E4300 were Conroe based E6xx, with half their L2 Cache disabled. Ah well, I'll go with the E4500. I may end up getting better results for $20. Thx!

Understanding Intel CPUs

Hi! New around these forums, but a long time PC user/builder, that used to side with AMD. Well, as most of us, I owe no one my loyalties, so I go for the fastest of the brands, these days being Intel. I'm renewing my PC from an "old" socket 939 X2 system, and I'm going for shopping in a week...
