Re: P35 Motherboards and DPC Latency Spiking

Yes MANY read all thru this thread, I and others have posted links and info on where to get them

Re: P35 Motherboards and DPC Latency Spiking

I jumped ship and got a P5E. I have a lightening fast, responsive system again with all the same parts cpu/ram/psu/etc that i had in the DQ6.

I had some strange slow system aside from DPC latency on the DQ6 but it is solved with the P5E. Its been an expensive excercise, i spent $800 dollars trying to sort it out. $200 Ram, $350 PSU and this P5E $250

I still like Gigabyte but i'll probably just use their lower end boards for cheap systems, for people who just surf the net and stuff. Otherwise no high end Gigabyte for me.

Re: P35 Motherboards and DPC Latency Spiking

Same here. I'm going for a new P5Q Pro from my P35C-DS3R rev 2.0. No more of this headache!
Aside from this problem I just can't understand how the fan speeds influences vdimm... I have to turn the fans higher to avoide vdimm from exceeding TOO MUCH the rated voltage! Talk about dead Ballistixs in this board (I have some Gskills which don't function properly much beyond the rated volts, so they don't get that much vdimm up to the point they burn).

Greetings,
These issues should have been solved long ago

Re: P35 Motherboards and DPC Latency Spiking

Is there any beta bios for GB-P35-DS3 Rev 1.0. (newer than beta 13i)
Mailed Gigabyte suport several times but no answer.
(Have mean DPCL av 1000 and regular spikes over 100000)
(Gets some better the more motherboard funktions I disable. But I need at least USB and harddrives. )

Thank You

I got two replies, thank you.
results:
1. F8t and F7 sent
F8t is worse, very buggy, won't hold o'c, cpu clock reports incorrect
F7 came with my board, doesn't help considering I have an E8400. it does boot-up with F7 but I had updated to F8f in order to do anything with it

2. F8i is even worse than F8t

Once again thanks for the responses.

I suppose the chances of an offical, bug-free update for a board that is now EOL is nil. At least I was lucky enough to still be able to get DS3L since the replacement EP-DS3L is in far worse shape.

My 2 cents to Gigabyte:
In with the new and out with the old can not always be a good thing in the end result. Look where that has gotten Creative with their sound card fiasco. My X-Fi will be replaced with an ASUS DX2 because they don't care about their customer base. And Asus makes more than sound cards.

Gigabyte P35 motherboards and DPC="

Disappointing

Re: P35 Motherboards and DPC Latency Spiking

I think its some kind of fault with the design of the P35/X38 chipset boards and its not gonna be fixed properly.

The P45 miraculously dont have the problem, so they must have found the cause of it.

That would suggest the P35 are not fixable or they would have used the same fix for P45 on the P35 boards. Get it??

Yes I get it. I was not addressing you personally. If you don't work for Gigabyte no further replies are needed.
You switched out your X38 DQ6 for a P5E, glad it's working out for you. The beta F9 didn't help you I suppose.

Yes I get it, it doesn't make it right though.

Re: P35 Motherboards and DPC Latency Spiking

I have an EX38-DS4 mb, which had the latency spikes, but I got a beta BIOS from Janus and the spikes are gone. Beside a minor bug in the BIOS, I've done some overclocking and everything is behaving quite nicely.

Re: P35 Motherboards and DPC Latency Spiking

That's good
Seems like I'm out of luck though.
F8t no good
F8i no good

F8n is also a no go according to this, post #279
RE: Gigabyte P35 motherboards and DPC

What I don't understand is I was sent F7 also to try. F7 came with the board, booted and all that, but F8a is the offical added support bios for Wolfdale.

Re: P35 Motherboards and DPC Latency Spiking

OH sorry kpo6969, my comments were not directed at you personally, i was just commenting generally for everyone with this issue.

I just wanted to make the point that the P45's dont have it, so they must have found the cause and the P35s still have it (mostly) so it doesnt look good for a complete fix or they would have done it by now. I cant imagine the Gigabyte team is still working much on this issue with the P45 boards out that need their attention.

Anyhow i hope you get it sorted.

Re: P35 Motherboards and DPC Latency Spiking

Tried every BIOS including new beta BIOS 13k for my GB-P35-DS3 rev 1.0 with no luck. Still stuttering audio and DPL-latency up to over 100000. I feel stupid for trying so hard getting this MB to run properly.

Can anyone recommend a working MB for quad CPU, DDR2 RAM, Creative Fx and Nvidia 8800, Running Vista 32bit.
