hi all, Does anyone have any experience running Linux on a GA-M55plus-S3G mainboard? ....or even a similar board thanks ivan

I just purchased a 965P-DS3 v3.3 and a stock 6420 2.13 chip. I am planning on OC'ing soon, but not during initial install. Can I go ahead and install the stock Intel chip, fan and heatsink as Intel instructs, and then remove the heatsink and fan at a later date, and then use Arctic Silver 5 to...

I have a GA-M59SLI-S5 Does anyone know how to unistall the nVidia firewall with this board. I have this under Add/Remove programs: NVIDIA Drivers (which consists of NVIDIA Display Driver, NVIDIA Ethernet Driver Components and NVIDIA nForce PCI System Management Driver) and NVIDIA ForceWare...

Hi, A few weeks ago I installed Win2003 SBS for training purposes and turned on Intel QST fan control in BIOS. Hence the New Hardware Wizard popped up fine asking for a driver. (Bios F7). Recently, I flashed Bios to F9 (most recent) and set all BIOS settings like with F7. I swapped disks and...

Hello, What's the maximum size ATA harddisk I can connect to a GigaByte GA-8PE667 Ultra mainboard, with the latest BIOS revision I could find (F3 I believe)? Can I expect to connect and operate, without having to install any third-party 'disk-drivers', a 320GB ATA100 disk? Regards,

Hi, I have a computer built around the mainboard mentioned in the subject, a GigaByte GA-8PE667 Ultra. Recently, I noticed the green power-LED on the front of the housing is steadily blinking while the machine is running. Frequence is about 1Hz, perhaps a tiny bit faster. The machine seems...

My 965P-DS3 boots up in a way that is different from all my computers prior. When the power button is pushed on, the hard drives spin up and the fans get a slight voltage. After about 2 seconds, the rest of the computer turns on and the fans get full voltage, and everything works normally. All...

Hi Guys, Building a new computer using MS Win Xp SP2. Going to use SATA 2 drives, and a gigabyte Mobo. Other than the connection, does windows Xp instal/recognise the SATA Drives, or doI have to instal drivers first. IF I do have to instal drivers do they normally come wih the Mobo...

Okay so this is a weird one. I have a 965P-DS3 and a Thermaltake Big Typhoon (old one) with a 3-pin connector. When the computer turns on, the HDs spin up, and then voltage is supplied to the fans and I guess the mobo in general. The fan gives a little jump, but then stops short of overcoming...

I'd like to be able to use more than 2 phyisical hard drives with my GA-M55plus-S3G. Can I simply purchase an IDE controller card to plug in, and get that capability? -- Thanks, tbl

Hi all, I have a GA-M61P-S3 motherboard and today when I went to boot up the power led came on and the hard drive led came on and stayed on solid, no POST beep, no splash screen. I tried a few things to no avail, then removed the cover and moved the SATA cable to SATA 1 slot. The system booted...

Says the board can only reach 325mhz http://www.insidehw.com/content/view/62/9/ I thought these boards were supposed to support fsb 1333mhz (which is 333mhz).

So Speedfan does not like the DS3. Temps are reported, but they are fairly useless without being able to control the fan speeds. Are there any apps out there that let you control the CPU/Sys fan speeds from software? -- Phil

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

I'm considering the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 for a new build, but I'm a bit confused by all the rhetoric on the various revisions. On Newegg, I see two listings. One is for Rev. 1.3 at $100, and the second doesn't say what revision but is $130. When I go to the Gigabyte web site, revision numbers as...

I would like to get memory recommendation for my new computer. It won't be used for games playing, only office application and perhaps only a little bit over clocked above default setting. Thanks

Hi all - What combination of BIOS settings do I change to get the CPU fan to run the speeds it needs to run. Right now it is always on 100%. Thanks! Oh I'm running latest BIOS from Gigabyte; version 11. Scott

I just bought and assembled this mobo with a Core2 duo 6420 processor,Patriot PC2-6400LLK Ram with 4-4-4-12 timings as well as 2 Seagate 120gig HD in RAID.The Other parts are older 7800GT Video,2 DVD Dual Layer Burners and a Hauppage 250 TV Card all in an Antec P160 case with an Antec TruePower...

Does anyone here know about how long the GA-M55Plus-S3G (revision 1) has been available? Differences with version 2? -- Thanks, tbl

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...
