You will notice earlier in this thread that was already done and they were reminded that there is already a separate thread for that. No need to post it here.Originally posted by: petebert
the gskill tech support sent me a link to F8 beta, if anyone wants it I can put it up in a few hours when I get home and get to my email.

Quick question: I notice that on my computer, CPUz reports Vcore lower than what is set in the DS3 bios. Easytune 5 generally reports the voltage to be what I set in the Bios. But if I watch it for a few minutes, occasionally, that voltage will either go up by 0.02 or down by 0.02. What is going on?!!#@

That is perfectly normal. You will see it drop more than that when the cpu is heavily utilized.

So, all I have to do to get optimal mode and benefits from SATA is:
1. BIOS->Integrated Peripherals->OnBoard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode -> Changed to 'AHCI'
2. install GSATAII drivers
3. Reconnect HDD from orange port to blue port
Will it work ?
This is exactly what I did, worked fine, no windows reinstall needed.

so whats the word on these settings? I'm looking to overclock, never used these type of settings before but maybe they are worth while these days?
CPU Enhanced halt- says cpu will enter C1 state to reduce core clock...etc ??
CPU thermal monitor- says it will throttle down cpu when it reaches a certain threshold, I dont see a setting for this threshold but it sounds like a good one to keep
EIST- used to best manage my cpu for me somehow
what about the smart fan control, right now its set to auto, is that allowing the program that came with the mobo to do it?
Are you running xp sp2?Originally posted by: Kamyk

Well, in my case after changing to AHCI Mode, WinXP during loading displays a beautiful 'blue screen of death' just for a split second. Then the mobo performs a self-reboot... and over again. Had to change back to IDE Mode :-(

Yes......i think you need sp2 to get the right drivers for this.Originally posted by: Kamyk

I think XP SP1. Does it matter ?
What bios are you on?Originally posted by: petebert
any ideas what might have disabled my IDE drives? When I set the sata to AHCI did I need to change something else too or can I not run sata AHCI with IDE drives on their chain?
I am running F8 bios and have two drives plugged into the Jmicron controller in Raid Zero. My optical drive is working fine, Take a look earlier in this thread for some info about this. I seem to remember something.Originally posted by: petebert
F8 beta, the same time I set it to AHCI is right after I had the case open to install a floppy I dont know of any way the floppy would affect it. I did go back and check my IDE cables and they are seated.

Does anyone know whether or not DS3 supports DDR2 1066 ?
I'm aware that there is x4 ratio in BIOS that theoretically allows memory to run at 1066 (with FSB running at 266),
but will it work ?
