OCer since long time ago. yes, OCing frenzy due to the new BIOS.

as for how much voltage i pump? i didn't change voltage on anything.

Is the Biostar a reliable board?
I read over at Polygons forums that sometimes it wont boot with right OC settings on a 800 FSB cpu. Also found a report of the onboard soundcard malfunctioning with new 823 bios.

And about the GA-P35-DS3
Does the 1:1 divider function correctly with this board?
I have read that some gigabyte boards dont have this option when used with a 800 FSB CPU

yu..this gigabyte got lot divider function..and the function actually hidden..need Ctrl+F1 ..credit to bryan ~

so far mine is ok.

ehehe, goldfries is not going down to bangsar tonight for clubbing session, instead hes gonna continue his OC frenzy tonight right? some more it just rained, should cool the temps a few more C eh?


@lobuni
well, it works just fine for me, worst comes to worst, install memset and clockgen in windows and OC from there lor

me no clubber. OC enough already la.

err... wat kind of divider are u refering to...? as far as i know only the RAM latency and advance Voltage management features are hidden...

try other ram and see
maybe ram compatibility problem.

then u know what hold u back

OK. here's what i found out.

as mentioned by others, i DID face the same thing. 400mhz option - sound screwed. check out my Review. I've updated it again. This lowered their score by far cos I'm freakin pissed. Their latest BIOS allowed 1:1 ratio for 400mhz processor which i'm very happy about and gave them perfect score but............oh well, heck it shouldn't be perfects core anyway. I changed my mind.

the board was good. it's just the BIOS issue.

guys..do u think the temperature`s normal?
how to solve this fan speed error?
and whats the temp 3: for?

fan speed error can't be solved. just ignore it.

idle 55c? wow....
that's pretty high if u ask me.

not idle..im running sumthin that time..currently idle arround 40-43c for both core..normal?

Actually, I noticed that almost all Tforce have this issue, except previous S939 and S754 versions. Their AM2 and 965 mobos are physically great, but come with 95% done BIOS, A decent BIOS will only come after a few months....

95% done BIOS is fine.

but from what i observe, the P35 BIOS was horrible.

till now, even my EIST i disabled in BIOS, my multiplier still keeps changing. latest BIOS choose 400mhz on RAM config then audio won't work.

and that's the 3rd BIOS, EIST still like that.

sorry long time didn't use Intel setup BUT AFAIK EIST multiplier shouldn't be jumpign once in disabled EIST.

or else waffor the system allow me to choose multiplier to set. after DISABLE the EIST, the option allowed me to set multiplier. so i set 8 la. boot to Windows, i still see 6. jumps automatically to 8 when it's processing. so makes no difference.

Maybe u should take a look at power management thingy in ur control panel (forgot where...not in winxp now). Sometimes ACPI will force enable speedstep, like notebook.

go bios, disable EIST,

Enable C1E if you want to have power saving

disable C1E for max speed 24/7

i'll try later. baru flashed new BIOS.

now finally can have audio.

eh... i heard it's a good thing to keep the EIST when u reduce the multiplier and increase FSB for some Biostar board due to a bug... cuz the multiplier will go straight up at full load... true ar...?

not sure about biostar mobo, but EIST limited my OC by 20mhz of the fsb lol
