Yeah, Revision 1.1 sounds like we've more or less had the same problem. Hell, mine wasn't even overclocked. I've had my board for too long to try to return it to NewEgg. Generally I assume its not worth it to try to send it back to Gigabyte for their warrenty.
There seems to be a lot of...
My P35C-DS3R just bit the big one. No freaking clue why. One minute everything kosher, next its a constant reboot and lock up fest. How the hell does it lock up in the BIOS? Finally degraded until it would start to boot and then lock up just after starting to post. Got a fast replacement of an...
The smart fan is twitchy, especialy with a stock HSF. If you turn it off, it just runs the fan at full speed. I had the same problem about the alarm going off, until I just turned off smart fan. The problem seems to be the stock fan interacting with the smartfan program. The fan seems to...
If everything is running fine and seems to be stable you really don't have to update your bios. Its not like the OS where not updating can lead to security holes. The main reason I updated my bios is due to issues with the temperature readings I'm getting from the MB's onboard sensors. But as a...
Yeah, I did the same thing with my Zalman 9700, if you turn off the speed control, it just runs it at full speed. Which for the Scythe should be relatively quiet anyway.
I don't know about DOA's but the fan control has been an issue for me. When I had the SmartFan setting on in the bios, it had issues with the stock Intel HSF. Basically the fan would speed up or slow down depending on the heat, and sometimes the fan speed would fall below some unknown threshold...
Yeah, flames are bad. I had a laser printer shoot out a flame about six inches outside its casing. I immediately unplugged the damn thing and tossed it in the dumpster.
I would turn the smart fan off, putting the fan on full bore, and then if you need finer control you can always add a fan speed control. Personally fan noise doesn't bother me, but having to fiddle with the bios for my fan to run when I want it to does.
oh and just a FYI there's a new Bios on...
Try turning off the smart fan setting in the bios. By turning it off, it should just kick the fan onto highspeed. The smart fan setting is an attempt to control the fan through the temperature. It actually caused my computer issues because it would set off the "fan not working alarm". Its just...
I've got that memory running at 1066 on my GA-P35c-DS3R with no problems. The bios doesn't natively recognize the proper voltage for the RAM but its really easy to pump it up to +4 over the standard 1.8v and it runs totally fine.
I get really screaming Aquamark scores with my E6600, the...
