Hmmm and its still ok to overclock the memory? I have the options in bios now, says turbo, on the F2 bios are the options there but it does not actually work?

Nah they've been there since the P965 boards, but did nothing until recently.
It's still OK to overclock the memory, but you probably won't be able to use the options if you're close to the max your current timings can handle. But lowering the memory speed and using Turbo or Extreme may well give better results anyway. Test and see.

Aye I will, gonna use that Bios utility in Windows, looking forward to seeing what happenes, thanks
Is the F6 Bios any good aswell?

No idea tbh.

Which one you on?

I'm running a DS3P and I'm still on its F5 BIOS. I haven't tried it's F6 BIOS as it brings nothing new to the table, and F5 is very solid.
But again I have no experience with the P35-DS3R's BIOS's.

Aother problem. WHen running on the following setting. My game of COD4 keeps on crashing and i dont know whether its the mobo/cpu/gpu....
I'm running Prime (Touture Test) and its running well through it. Could it be my 8800GT?

There's nothing wrong there, other than maybe setting the PCI-E Freq to 101mhz.
why 101 and not 100 on the pci-e freq? same reason as below?
also why is setting the ddr2/ddr3 pci-e and fsb overvoltage controls to those settings helping? is it because things like Vcore seems to be slightly behind the shown volts? so it naturally follows: the rest are probably behind as well?
in which case why not set the other volt controls to slightly higher? i.e. the system voltage control and the (G)MCH overvoltage.

I just updated to F4 bios, restarted, all seemed fine untill I got a BSOD, in it I seen something say "MEMORY_MANAGMENT".
Whats that mean? after that went in Bios change thing from Turbo to standard, after that got crashing at P35C splash screen, dunno whats going on
, I'm hoping it was teething problems.

Have you got your CPU clocked at all? I got that when I was clocking mine and I left the memory multiplier set to auto. If you have clocked it, try changing the mem multiplier to something that keeps your ram at stock or less.

Probably a crap BIOS. Try F5 or F6.

I've just got a P35C-DS3R and its rev 1.1, is that ok? What's the difference between revs?
Cheers.

Nah I reset bios to fail safe defaults before flashing it.
Well I'm on F6 now, and the crashing problem seems to be sorted, had some odd problems like freezing at detecting IDE Drives and when restarting the PC it actually shuts down instead, but apart from that all seems fine
, gonna try push my memory further see what happenes. Going to try 850Mhz 4-3-3-12-2T, I dare not try 1T.In rev 2.0 they did away with the COM ports and added some more USB ports, dunno what else, and also the board layout seems different and maybe a darker blue, apart from that nothing really, nothing that is going to effect performance, I was looking for a Rev 2.0 but could not find one, guess all the Etailers were wanting to get the Rev 1.1's shifted first.

Cheers willhub.
Thought i'd check first since its still in its packaging.
Can't wait to get the bad lad in my case.

Hi Guys, Ive just got a DS4, should I do the below before I do any overclocking to the bus, I know it states that below but im not trying to figure out If i have to do this first!?
I have a DS4, a E6550, 4gb corsair 800mhz and an 8800GT
Cheers

1. Make sure that you have the latest chipset drivers and flash the board to the most recent bios version
2. On the main bios screen press Ctrl+F1 to open the advanced options within the menus
3. In the Advanced Bios Features Menu, Disable all of the following: CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E), CPU Thermal Monitor 2(TM2), CPU EIST Function
4. In the PC Health Status menu, set the FAN Speed Control Method to "Legacy" & FAN Speed Control Mode to "PWM" to maintain highest speed
5. Go into the MB Intelligent Tweaker (MIT) menu at the bottom of the page, set the System voltage control to "Manual"
6. These boards have a default VDIMM of 1.8v, set the VDIMM to co-ordinate with your ram. The Geil I have is specced as 2.1v so I have mine set to +0.3v
7. Set the MCH Voltage to +0.1v
8. Set the FSB Voltage to +0.1v
9. Set the VCORE to 1.45v - Please be aware that this will increase temps!
10. Set the CPU Host Clock Control to "Enable"
11. Set the System Memory Multiplier to "2x"
12. You're set to go, just increase the System bus Frequency to Overclock
13. I would reccommend that you use Intels TAT to monitor temps

I know Servo has his Prime stable at 3825mhz on his DS4.

Yeah pretty much everything except maybe setting the vcore to 1.45v. You can maybe start at 1.425v with the E6550, tho you'll likely have to go higher if you're looking to get the max from your chip.
