My GA-965P-DS3 has just recently become unstable. I am pretty sure that the problem is thermal and, now, that the Northbridge (chipset, MCH) is over heating. This board has only a heatsink and it is BLISTERINGLY hot. I want to add a fan to the existing heatsink or replace the existing...

Hi gang, Sorry if this is a daft question but I don't fully appreciate the implications/limitations of running hard drives from IDE3 and IDE4 on the SINXP board. Quite simply I cannot get Win XP's (Home Edition, SP1) built-in power management to suspend any of my HDDs on these channels. Note...

My memory Kingston KVR800D2N5 should run between 1.7 and 1.9 V. but for some reason my GA-EP45-UD3L sets the DRAM voltage to 2.0 V. In the BIOS, the DRAM voltage setting says "1.8 Auto" even though EasyTune says it is at 2 volts. So I manually changed the Auto entry to 1.8, and now EasyTune says...

I'm overclocking my E5200, or trying to. I set voltages to Manual, Vcore to 1.35, and in the Health BIOS screen it shows near that, I have C1E and EIST disabled. In Windows cpu-z and Gigabyte Easy Tune show at or near 1.25, like they do when voltages aren't on Manual. I have the chipset...
