So clearing CMOS is only effective until you shut down, and then you will have to clear the CMOS again if you want to be able to adjust the Vcore. I hope they can offer up a bios revision to clear up this issue.

With these boards, after you've made the changes you want in the BIOS, you have to save them, and give them a name in the BIOS. It's either F11 or F12 that you push to access that.

Not true. With a "working" board, the settings should just stick. At least they do on my DS3R.

It seems hit or miss whether you get a "good" Gigabyte board that operates properly or not. Seems like a few people here in this thread got a bad board.

I think what myocardia is saying, After your settings in the bios that "stick" and you are stable, you can save several settings. iE: settings for 3.0ghz, 3.2ghz and so on. I have at least 4 settings I can go back to at any time as I have saved them with using F11. And F12 is the command to use when you want to go from one "saved" setting to another without have to go through all the settings manually........again. :thumbsup:

Look into this mod if it will work for you . I taped the mod with some electrical tape once i was done and blew the excess lead off with a hand rocket blower.

For me it helped a GREAT deal on my GA-P35 DS3L

Here's some data from my q9550 and GA-P35 DS3L 8.5x 400 3.4ghz , ram 2x 800ddr , FSB overvolt +.2 Ram +.1v

Stock: 1958 ohms bios voltage: 1.31875v
idle: 1.28v
load: 1.232v

Mod1: 990 ohms bios voltage: 1.31875v
idle: 1.28v
load: 1.26v

Mod2: 708ohms bios voltage: 1.28125v
idle: 1.264v
load: 1.248v

I had to lower voltage from 1.31, because it actually reported 1.31 in the bios,

Crunching prime 95 small fft's all night it is stable at 1.28125v. I had to get at 1.31875v before and stability was still questionable !

Disable C1E and EIST in the bios if you are gonna overclock.

You can still use C1E after you find a stable OC. It's EIST that causes trouble because it adjusts the voltage rather than just the multiplier. AFAIK if you manually set the CPU voltage EIST is disabled automatically anyway, even if you have it enabled in the BIOS.

Is this true? I've always thought C1E adjusted voltage as well.
