I'm bit frustrated with Gigabyte users ? they tend to ignore the question and I see them are not friendly people as AOpen :(

Hi~ I know that hdd detection times are different by mainboards(or chipset?). Anyone knows where i can find these information? Apprecitae any reply

There is only one system fan connection, ok, no biggie. But what is the power fan plug for? My ignorance is showing..what is a power fan? Also, using a temperature gun, my Northbridge heatsink reads 58 deg C, the Southbridge is about the same. Seems kinda warm to me. TIA

As I recall, I saw a post that I think was in this NG; it listed the basic steps to OC this board. I've gone through the entire NG and can not find it again. It listed disabling some BIOS temp warnings, and the basic steps to start some overclocking. If someone would please point me to that...

My new Gigabyte P965-DS3 is purring like a kitten. I gues everyone else's is also...this newsgroup is deserted!

x-No-archive:yes Hello All, I have a GA-7ZMMH BIOS F10 that I have just done a clean install of XP Pro with service pack 1. The problem is when you do a shut down via the turn computer off the system restarts. Any body have any ideas? Thanks

Hello, I've got a GA-7DXR+ that has an onboard Promise PDC20276 (MBUltra133) controller. It can be set for either RAID mode or ATA133 mode in the BIOS. When in ATA133 mode, I've noticed that the CPU usage is very high when copying a large test file from a drive on it to a drive on my...

wrote: Hello, I have used the 7dxr with a 1GHz Athlon which I have now upgraded to an Athlon 2600 (266 fsb), which is the faster cpu this mobo will take. To use the 2600, you need to have the F10 bios. I have flashed this, but when I boot, I sometimes see that it is...

wrote: Hello, I have upgraded my 1Ghz Athlon to a 2600xp Athlon but in the bios screen at boot the temperature of the 2600 is 70C and Windows will not load (I suspect it gets too hot halfway through). The cooler master heat sink is rated up to xp3200, and it is fitted...

I've read messages about this problem and also experienced it myself, but I was just wondering if anybody has come across any solution to it. I've got a GA-7DXR+ that has onboard 20276, but when using it in ATA133 mode I noticed stuttering and other multitasking problems. When the HD is under...

is ECC (parity memory) on any *current* "home PC" Giga-byte mobo? if yes, kindly give some info my interest would be with any of the current leading cpu's: P4 or Athlon XP or Athlon 64 TIA, bill

Can anyone provide any tips or guidelines for tuning my setup? Or, how about some benchmarking utilities to see if I am getting all I am supposed to get out of the system? I have several benchmark utilities, but they just say I ma faster than some, but not as fast as others. This is very generic...

I have GA-7N400 Pro2 with a Athalon XP+ 2700 CPU. I have had it for a couple of years and would like to see if I could get a little more kick without upgrading the entire system. I am thinking about upgrading the CPU and putting in the fastest CPU the motherboard will support. My thought is that...

I have a Dell OptiPlex GX280 system that was damaged in the Katrina flood. It only took a few inches of water but sat in it for about 2 weeks. The case, MB and video are shot. Everything else RAM, CPU and drives was above water. Dell has not been reasonable with purchasing just the parts I...

I am looking for a motherboard that will hold 2 or 4, socket 478, P4- 1.5GHz CPUs. 5 PCs at my office were flooded by Katrina. They were a total loss and I have ordered new systems. But looking at the systems, I noticed that although the water came up half way on the MB, the CPU was not wet. ...

I currently have 1 512 MB PC2700 (333) memory module and would like to go up to 1 GB. Should I get another matching memory module, or is it worth it to get a set of matching PC3200 (400) memory modules and try to sell the old PC2700? I mean each module cost about $75, is there really that much...

I hope someone will be able to help me get the most out of my system. I know a little bit, but I am not really into tuning. I just want it to work... A brief history. I bought the system from a local computer store about 1.5 years ago. It had an AMD Athalon XP 2700+ CPU and 512 MB of...

I'm looking for a good quiet cooling solution for my 7N400 Pro 2 based system. I'm currently using an Antec case with lots of fans, and a TI-V77L heatsink which is keeping my CPU at about 19C above ambient case temp. Unfortunately ambient case temp is 35C with room temp at about 25C. And this isn't...

This is the first computer I have built so I apologize in advance for what is probably a newbee mistake. I just built this PC. When I boot the PC the BIOS reports the CPU clock of 1250 MHz. is that correct for a 2800+ AMD processor? My understanding is that the 2800+(FSB 333) runs at 2.08MHZ....

I have just upgraded to a new Gigabyte 7NF-RX Socket-A nForce2 (400 FSB) motherboard, and now my chip only runs at 1000Mhz. The memory is 266 which i bought with the processor many years ago.. I have changed the bios to run at 133 (effectively 266).. but it still runs at 1Ghz.. Any ideas
