    P35C-DS3R Doesn't hold BIOS OC Settings after shutdown ?

    It seems like this issue is hit or miss depending on the individual board. Some users have not reported this problem at all, while others have experienced this problem one way or another. I'm wondering if this is an undiscovered issue with most users because the BIOS settings are reset...

    P35C-DS3R Doesn't hold BIOS OC Settings after shutdown ?

    It looks like the F11 Save-to BIOS profile did not work. I left the computer off for a couple hours after saving the BIOS settings ot the CMOS via F11 and when I powered up the the CPU Host Control was disabled and the memory timings were all back to default. I don't know what to do now!

    P35C-DS3R Doesn't hold BIOS OC Settings after shutdown ?

    Thank you for your input! I will try this tonight when I am at home and report back. I received a reply from another forum which stated it had something to do with the virtual BIOS, and I believe you are referring to the same issue.

    P35C-DS3R Doesn't hold BIOS OC Settings after shutdown ?

    Update I turned off the PC for the day and when I powered it up when I returned home, I experienced the same events as the OP. The computer powered up momentarily, fans and HDD were moving, then it beeped and then powered off. It then powered itself on and continued the boot process...

    P35C-DS3R Doesn't hold BIOS OC Settings after shutdown ?

    And I thought I was the only one with this problem! I have found a solution for this problem which I hope will work for anyone else affected. Remove the battery, clear the CMOS, and replace battery. Configure default settings upon first boot to ensure that your system is fine. Reboot...

    Need Help Selecting Video Card for new system build

    I read over EVGA's lifetime warranty policy, and there is no clear indication or statement that defines that the warranty is only valid on cards purchased through authorized retailers or e-tailers. The warranty is non-transferrable, and I am aware of this. The card I won/bought on ebay is...

    Need Help Selecting Video Card for new system build

    Well I bit the bullet and bought an 8800GTX. I don't feel like waiting another 2-3 months for a new video card line to be released, as my incomplete system has been collecting dust. Hope I can play in 1920 x 1080 with full details!

    Connecting Computer to HDTV

    I recommend a DVI-HDMI cable, which would allow you to keep the digital signal for better reproduction of the image. There are converters that do DVI/HDMI, that would also work too. It's probably the cheaper solution if you already have an existing DVI-DVI cable.

    I'm hoping you will have a good set, that would save you time and hassle. ;) I'm already using Shaw for basic cable and internet service and I would like to have HD service with them as well. Their current offering looks similar to what Starchoice has to offer, but I don't watch enough TV to...

    *edit* I bought a Sharp Aquos 46" 1080P display :)

    Yes, I've seen the banding on 46" models. I was with my friend who purchased the 46". When we took delivery and brought it home, we were surprised to see banding on his HD STB, PS3, and also his DVD player. We did not try the PC as his computer was not yet hooked up as a HTPC, but I think after...

    *edit* I bought a Sharp Aquos 46" 1080P display :)

    The Samsung probably appeared to look better because of the finish of the actual panel itself; the glossy finish tends to warm up the picture a lot more. This is the thing to be weary of, the differences in picture quality, perceived or otherwise, between panels in-store. Most, if not...

    *edit* I bought a Sharp Aquos 46" 1080P display :)

    No, I do not have any banding issues with the 42" D62U (knock on wood). From personal experience, I know 3 people with the 42" version, without any banding issues, and 2 people with the 46" version. Both persons with the 46" version had banding issues. They were purchased around...

    I don't have the A8N-SLI, but I do have the A8N-E running in another system, that is OC'd. I overclocked an Opteron 144 1.80GHz to 2.6GHz, with DDR400 memory running at DDR440 speed.

    ASUS vs. Gigabyte

    If you don't plan on using DDR3 in the near future, then do not consider the Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R. Consider the GA-P35-DS3R, or the GA-P35-DS3P, or the GA-P35-DQ6. As for which board to get, it is a choice of price and features. I choose the GA-P35-DS3R as I didn't require WiFi, Dual...

    GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3P RAID Setup?

    Intel's ICH9R controller will be better for RAID arrays (also the reason why there's only two Gigabyte IC SATA ports as oppossed to the six Intel ports). The Gigabyte IC (jmicron) RAID controller is not as efficient as the Intel ICH9R, and as a result is slower for burst and sustained...

    *edit* I bought a Sharp Aquos 46" 1080P display :)

    Not to scare you, but there have been reported cases of banding with the 46" D62 series. It may have been resolved with the later/newer batches of the 46D62U, but I found that many people experience banding issues with that model. Sharp also recognized this problem and were taking back sets to...

    I have the LC-42D62U 42" Sharp Aquos, and I have not experienced any problems with 1920 x 1080(i or p) resolution. I have it connected to my PC (Nvidia 7600GT) via DVI-HDMI cable, and currently the resolution is 1920 x 1080 (1080p) mode. The TV is set to display the video mode in Dot by Dot...

    Do OEM Dell Nvidia 8800GTX graphics cards work in non-Dell systems?

    As the subject states, do Dell OEM Nvidia 8800GTX graphic cards work in non-Dell systems? Are there are any issues with a Dell BIOS being flashed to the Dell OEM 8800GTX cards which would prevent it from working in a non-Dell system?

    P35 Boards + ICH9R Raid Contollers

    When you say 4 drives in Both RAID 0 and RAID1 array at the same time, do you mean two separate arrays such as 2*250 RAID 0, and 2*320 RAID 1? I am slightly confused about your last statement, "that you can have both RAID0 and RAID1 on same set of drives".

    P35 Boards + ICH9R Raid Contollers

    Thank you for the excellent reply. I did not realize that the Jmicron controller was bound to PCI bus speeds, and it seems my friend did not either! I'm just trying to figure out if I should put all the RAID channels together on the ICH9R controller and if it would in any way affect the...

    Asus a8n-e..

    Stock HSF is perfectly fine for overclocking. I replaced it only because of the noise issue. And I recommend not using the Asus AI overclock - do everything manually. You get much more control of your settings and you can reach better overclock scores. With a 4200+, you can hit 2.80GHz...

    AMD64 3200+ temps

    Does a 3200+ really run that hot? Trikat, what is your ambient temp usually given those temp readings? I have an Opteron 144, and with the stock HSF it runs at 29-31 Idle and 42-44 Load. After putting on an Arctic Cooler Freezer 64 Pro, the Load temps dropped to 37-40. My ambient (this...

    You're complaining about a 45% stable overclock? You should be impressed - not upset.. But if you want to go further, keep this in mind as I have the same board as you and I believe the memory divider is th same for your processor: Divider 333: Your memory speed will be equal to CPU...

    939 OC MB advice

    I disagree. I have the ASUS A8N-E which was my 2nd choice actually. I originally wanted a DFI, but support for it is quite limited in my area so I chose ASUS. It has been working very well after the kinks were worked out. What kinks you may ask? If you are going to be using an Opteron...

    Best 939 NON-SLI board?

    I have nothing but praise for the Asus A8N-E. It isn't the best non-SLI S939 board out there, but it certainly is a great board for its price. Mine was shipped with BIOS 1008, which was problematic for me because I installed an Opteron processor. The A8N-E did not recognize the processor...

    Memory Speed Issue! (Asus A8N-E + Opty 144 + OCZ EL Platinum 2GB PC3200)

    ** update ** It seems that this board is very picky with its divider settings, and does not like the 266 divider at higher HTT (fsb) settings using tighter memory timings. I tried to relax the timings as per the replies, to 3-4-4-8, 2T. Unfortunately it still did not post at 300 x 9...

    I should've been more specific earlier, sorry about that. More details below. I realize not all Opterons will overclock like magic, but I'm just wondering why I cannot reach the "standard" memory speed of 200 MHz if I use a memory divider. Is that the sacrifice one makes when trying to push...
