EasyTune and GA-P35C-DS3R

Hi all,
for my GA-P35C-DS3R should I use EasyTune 5 or Easy Tune 6 ?

Confusingly, the Gigabyte wesbite for the board has an EasyTune 5 section and in that an "introduction"  link that takes you to some details about EasyTune5, then when you click File Downlaod from that page it takes you to a page that has EasyTune6 at the top.

EasyTune 6 notes say it supports Intel X58/P45/P43 etc. but it does not say if it also works with the P35 chipset ?

Regards,
Neil

Hi all,
ok, so I got Easy Tune 6 (even though the download page says v5) and it is working with the P35 chipset.

Question: it is showing memory DIMM voltage of 1.900V for both "Power On" and "Target" even though I have not increased the DDR2 voltage in the BIOS or in EasyTune - is that normal?

I thought it should be 1.8V as standard ?

Hi

try to upgrade BIOS to the latest one ver F12e and then load optimized defaults.
do you use EasyTune 6 ver B8.1224.1 ?
what is memory vendor / model / part number which you use ?

yes for DDR2 standard is 1.8V.

Hi,
updated BIOS to f12e, loaded optimized Defaults, Save & Exit
Using EasyTune6 v6.B08.0908.1
which was the version that the Gigabyte website gave me for my board (though link says v5)

Memory is : OCZ 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 CL 4-4-4-15 PLATINUM
which can run at 2.1V

The DIMM voltage is shown as: 1.900V

Ok, so went to downlaod latest Easy Tune6
Website says it is B8.1224.1
Click Download
Coose Europe, click Download
save motherboard_utilityt....exe OK
It downloads it
Click that exe
It creates a directory called Easytune6. Run Setup.exe in that directory
Oh dear, it says Welcome .....Easy Tune 6 B08.090.1

So it is an old version?
Any ideas?

Regards,
Neil

runn3R:
the memory you use works from 1.9 V (minimum) and that's the reason, see here:
http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr2_pc2_6400_platinum_revision_2_dual_channel

so everything is correct with your PC.

and about the link to easytune which you mentioned it will be corrected.
