  1. P5N-E SLI - stuck in PCI Express x8

    Interesting... I decided to re-seat both the SLI mode adapter card and my VGA card, just to be safe. Now the nVidia driver is reporting PCI Express x16 like it should. Funky. I guess those SLI mode adapter cards are real sensitive. I remember re-seating it a while back when I got my...
  2. P5N-E SLI - stuck in PCI Express x8

    Alright, I sure hope someone's come across this before... When I got this board, I never bothered to check this until now. :( Upon investigation today, I found that the nVidia Control Panel is reporting that my video card is running at x8 speeds ("Bus: PCI Express x8"). The SLI mode...

    Gary, Can you or someone technically-savvy (no "I think it's..." or "d00d its loklolzz duh" responses) answer my two remaining questions? 1. What exactly are people referring to when they say ""C2 revision"". This term is being thrown around boards almost as much as "lol". I've read...

    And according to the Gigabyte (Taiwan) site, the latest BIOS listed is still F7. There's a 112-or-so-page thread over at XtremeSystems discussing all the BIOSes and sub-revisions of F8 (initially was F8, then F8a, then F8f, and now according to this board, F8i). I'll be blunt: all of these...

    I have never in my entire life seen a BIOS that let you toggle this feature (re: displaying legacy-like post-BIOS-initialisation IRQ settings, COM port assignments, memory size, etc. in standard 80x25 text mode). I can agree with you in regards to one aspect: the information being shown there...
  7. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    This shouldn't happen with any BIOS labelled F6 or later. Make sure you reset to factory (optimised) defaults in the BIOS, save BIOS settings, reboot, then go into the BIOS and adjust things. I've also noticed that adjusting any of the hardware monitoring settings (PWM vs. QST, etc.) causes...
  8. *** Official Intel DP965LT Thread ***

    Has anyone here investigated the issue between certain models of Antec NeoHE PSUs and the Intel DP965LT board? There's a thread over on SilentPCReview about the NeoHE PSUs in general. The last couple pages mention the NeoHE in regards to the DP965LT...

    Upgraded to F8A (beta BIOS). First thing I noticed was the lack-of temperature monitoring for the MCH and (G)MCH. Changing Smart Fan from "Auto" to Intel QST addressed that (and also added some sort-of PCI device, which seemed to have an effect on IRQ distribution w/out the APIC (that means in...

    Something for other DS3 owners: Can some (all?) of you check your Windows Event Log (Administrative Tools -> Event Log), under System events, and see if you've received any Error conditions during heavy interrupt usage (i.e. heavy audio + video (gaming), heavy disk I/O, etc.)? The reason I...

    Believe the following apps only: RMClock 2.2 RC1 (or later) and CoreTemp. All other apps do not monitor actual core temperature, but external system temperature. NOTE: I've seen temperature differences between RMClock and CoreTemp. Up until about 3 minutes ago, I could never figure out why...

    EDIT: Ah ha. The details about the "1.8V bug" are mentioned in Undersea's review of the DS3's BIOS. :-) Hehehehe... For those wanting details: http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=2854 (I'll point out that I'm using Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400 DDR2-800 (v5.1 I believe; I can check the...
  13. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    Which is bad design. The APIC (not ACPI) exists solely to solve this problem. For some particular reason, Gigabyte chooses to pre-assign all of the devices on the bus to a couple set of IRQs (in my case, not two; more like three or four). APICs specifically address this problem by increasing...
  14. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    Ah, indeed you're right. (I don't use IDE, so I never go looking for the connectors). I always thought the black port was IDE, not FDD... hahaha. :D http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Mot...x?ProductID=2314&ModelName=GA-965P-DS3 So the situation should still be just fine. If your...
  15. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    I've had a week+ to tinker with this. First thing, above all else: my problem is in fact not related to the C1E BIOS feature after all!!! I had a system lock in an identical manner while in FFXI while C1E was disabled in the BIOS. So I've been barking up the wrong tree -- this has got to be...
  16. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    I ran memtest86 earlier this evening for 2.5 hours (BIOS revision: F7), and experienced no errors. I may need to let it run longer. Also, I should note that hitting Ctrl-F1 in the BIOS causes extra BIOS options to appear (others may already know this, but this came as a surprise to me this...
  17. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    Eh? The ICH8 drives 4 SATA channels (four ports), and 2 IDE/ATA channels (two ports; master/slave per port, so that makes 4 IDE devices). There is also an additional "GIGABYTE SATA" / JMicron SATA controller that's on board, which drives another 2 SATA channels (two ports). If you want to...

    TheSlamma, what became of this? I have the exact same memory you do, and I'm also having similar problems as you (ONLY during gaming, but not for 20 minutes; usually it takes hours upon hours (yeah, I leave FFXI running for many hours sometimes)). It doesn't happen when using Sandra (I can...
  19. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    Thanks for providing this -- it helps greatly! We have different CPUs (E6300 vs. E6600), but I really don't think that matters much here. Like you, I have absolutely no issues running system benchmark utilities like Sisoft Sandra (ran for something like 48 hours -- no crashes or weirdness)...
  20. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    Follow-up to this issue: Re-built entire system (same components of course). Once again, same problem: C1E enabled results in random system lock-ups or reboots. It seems I'm going to have to go piece-by-piece with replacing hardware until I manage to figure out what the problem is. Can...

    NCQ and TCQ apparently do very little good in general. You can read reviews and benchmarks stating this both at StorageReview.com, as well as at Tomshardware.com. NCQ and TCQ will help with heavily-loaded disks (e.g. server environments) that're under constant use. The description of NCQ...

    So I got my P5B board today, and I'm fairly impressed, but there are some issues which I cannot deal with. Here's the page of the post (assuming this URL works...), explaining my experience with the P5B and the god-awful Realtek NIC...
  23. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    Interesting. Possibly the Intel INF (ICH8) drivers force Native Mode inside of Windows (which would make the BIOS option somewhat stupid; should be Legacy/Emulate by default, then let the OS make the decision). Maybe it's for OSes which can't toggle it. I'll try some benchmarks myself and...
  24. *** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

    Received my P5B today (after trying the Gigabyte GA-P965-DS3 and having almost-perfect luck with it, minus some temperature problems and random crashes when using C1E...). I'm completely disgusted with the NIC on this board. Realtek is known for being utter garbage, but I didn't realise it...
  25. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    Err... 1ms? Milliseconds are used to measure things like seek, read, or write times. You won't see these change when toggling that BIOS option. You should, on the other hand, see a fluxuation in actual bus throughput (KBytes or MBytes/sec) and possibly disk throughput.
  26. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    Something worth noting about this board (or rather, the BIOS)... Numerous CPU features appear to not be available or enabled due to whatever Gigabyte is doing in their BIOS. I compared RMClock results with a friend of mine with a P5B + E6400. The differences are notable. Bolded entries are...
  27. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    As far as I know, no, there's no way to determine this other than via disk benchmarking. Windows has always handled the driver portion of EIDE and SATA in a strange manner. Assuming you're using the Intel Chipset INF drivers below, then that's all you'll really need...
  28. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    The SATA Native Mode vs. Legacy Mode (sometimes called "Emulated Mode") has nothing to do with NCQ or TCQ. NCQ and TCQ are command-queuing features of SATA hard disks. Of course, you won't gain any benefits from NCQ/TCQ if you're in Legacy/Emulated Mode. Native/Legacy Mode are specific to...
  29. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    I've my doubts about using EIST in the first place. Either the DS3 BIOS is doing something wrong, or RMClock is validating EIST state wrong. When the EIST feature is enabled in the BIOS, RMClock does not detect this. RMClock always labels this CPU feature as disabled, despite what the BIOS...
  30. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    Ran for about 2 days; just now I had a random reboot while in FFXI. First time I've ever seen a reboot happen, but reboots and lock-ups... same thing for the most part. So, it's safe to say the C1E feature is what's causing my system to randomly freak out. This is disappointing, as I really...
  31. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    A follow-up on the issue I was having: Adjusting these settings solved my problem for sure (I've had a fully stable system for almost 2 weeks). The hardware slider in Windows had NOTHING to do with the problem (I've since put it back to Full), nor did the PCI slot. A co-worker of mine...
  32. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    I'm pretty sure the problem is not the Audigy itself, as it's a card I've had for a couple of years across different motherboards without any issue ever (literally -- not even a single count). Hardware can indeed go bad, though. The problem really manifests itself as more of a driver issue --...
  33. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    Maybe folks here can help me with this problem. My system is the following: * Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 (running F5 BIOS, but also had this problem w/ F4 too) * Intel E6600 (2.4GHz/1066FSB/4MB) * Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400 DDR2-800 * Plextor PX-755SA * Audigy 2 ZS * EVGA 7800 GT CO Nothing...
  34. Asus P5B Deluxe or Gigabyte DS3

    I haven't seen any retailer in the US who offers the DS4. *waits for someone to post a newegg URL, since they seem to have weird crap from the Asias first...* Also, my DS3 has no moving parts on the motherboard, so I'm not sure what the "passive cooling on the components" claim is about. No...
  35. *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    So assuming I read this thread correctly, these boards (both the S3 and the DS3) are very picky about both 1) memory voltage, and 2) manufacturer/brand of RAM. All I've managed to determine based on reading is that Corsair Micro's DDR2-800 (PC6400) stuff, which runs at V1.9, works the...
  36. Conroe bug can cause corruption

    Good news indeed. I think I'll wait a few weeks for this stepping to be released before making my CPU purchase, "just in case". A good thread in general, guys. Big thanks to galvelan for bringing this issue to light in the first place (at least from a forum perspective). Always good to...
  37. Gigabyte for Conroe!!!!!!!!!!!

    The reason I went with my Gigabyte board is for three reasons. I'll list those, but please keep something in mind first: I am an avid fan of Asus boards (my last 3 have been Asus). 1) Availability. The Asus boards I want are not available in the US right now; only the Asias and possibly...
  38. Conroe bug can cause corruption

    Intel should be able to give you a CPU with a different stepping, assuming you provide some sort-of proof that you're being affected by one of the flaws documented in the Errata. (Meaning, if you had a B1, you could probably get a B3 assuming that addressed the issue you were encountering)...
  39. Conroe bug can cause corruption

    @fbrdphreak Please read my previous post. Also, I'm not sure if you're familiar with actual processor cache misses -- by your description of your experience, you're describing memory page hit/misses, which are not the same thing as CPU cache hits/misses. :-) If you want to really analyse...
