I had tested the memory (read earlier posts) and 1 stick failed the other passed in Prime. The voltage was set to +0.3 (the memory is rated for 2.1V (1.8+0.3))
I dropped the voltage to +0.0 in the bios and the memory that was crashing passed Prime for 3 hours. I then decided to up the timings to 3 3 3 12 and it worked again for 9 hours last night. Bear in mind this is the memory that was crashing within 1 minute.
I have heard that this board may overvolt memory (absolutely crazy!!!!!) - so maybe one of the memory sticks dont like this higher memory voltage (especially if it the motherboard is overvolting it).
Also thinking back I had the memory voltage on AUTO when doing the first tests so maybe the errors occured before as the motherboard was AUTO putting it on a higher volt? I know im clutching at straws here.........

thanks mate - CRAZY though isnt it............ that all these problems have occured because Gigabyte cant even get the voltages correct!!!!!!!!!
I am still a bit lost why 1 stick of memory would fail +0.3 and the other was fine, but the memory was fine at +0.0.
I would have thought it was the other way around.........
The only explanation is that the +0.3 as we all seem to understand is overvolting and this voltage is causing the memory to error.......
WEIRD!!!!!!!!
Thing is now I have received my memory so I dont know which to send back........ what would you do?

Hi there
I jus bought this motherboard and connected everything up but the CPU fan doesnt work im running a Intel Duo core E6750 2.66ghz 1333 FSB
Does the board have some sorta BIOS setup where the CPU fan will come only come on when the chip gets warm enough?

I found that the system temperature is neither the p35 or the mosfets temperature. I think its only a sensor near the ICH9R. I put a fan near that and the system temp dropped to 45º (was more then 55º)

Added Rig into my sig..... Sorry I forgot to say I haven't tried overclocking yet, I only finished the build at the weekend.
Room Temperature I would have to check when I get back up to the house today but it is usually around 25/30oC!
Thanks will give that thread a read to and see what I can find
EDIT: When I turned on my computer today it was sitting at 66oC!!!! And it hadn't been switched on in days....how can that be?!

5t3vo, do you want to take this one? :laugh: hmmmm! what could it be?

I'm having trouble clocking the FSB any higher than 389 MHz on a GA-P35-DS3R. I've tried increasing the FSB and MCH voltage, but to no avail. Anyone have tips for overclocking the FSB on this board?
