I alway use @ BIOS to do updates, never had any problems, using the F12 BIOS on the same board rev2 version.
Have you tried loading F6 Optimize Defaults, if this don't work then try clearing cmos again and then use @ BIOS to get F11 or F12 bios again.
When you update the bios it does save a copy I belive, not sure where though, can't remember.

Their is a warning on Gigabyte BIOS page which tells you always to load optimze bios defaulfts after updating bios, but their are others who have suffered the same problem as you, just google for GA P35 DS3R bios problems.

It may be possible. I'd check your mobo manual. :)

I cleared cmos when i got home from work and it has made no differance at all. Now on this board it has dual bios. could it be that it has gone into say bios bank 2 (if there is one) and this one cant be overclocked for whatever reason?

Try clearing the CMOS and start over again. Maybe it has just got it's knickers in a twist. :)

here are some screen shots that i have just taken. that shows its not the speedstep knocking it down.

You sure it just not speedstep clocking it down while idle? Run Orthos at the same time and see what cpu-z says. :) The bios screen on mine shows the default for the cpu...

Hmm, strange. I had a similar problem, which was caused by me using the wrong multiplier.

yeah. i had it overclocked to 3.2ghz since i bought this board and that was 3 months ago. up till this afternoon i didnt have a problem with it. it was running lovely. 12 prime etc. this afternoon i rebooted cos i hadnt done it for a week or so, but it hung before the post screen. so i cleared cmos and then that is when the problem started. no matter what i set the fsb to in bios it still shows on reboot no overclock. (but if i look in the bios it says it is)

I was making the point of you putting 3.2MHz :)

Have you tried going up in increments? I have the same board as you, and I pushed it up slowly :)

Sorry mate i think you have missed the point of what im trying to sort out. Thought thanks for your reply. im not tring to underclock it at all i want to overclock. when i use the optimial setting in bios it sets the clock to 100*7=700mhz and not what it should be (333*7=2.33). After i have set the fsb to 458*7=3.2Ghz and reboot all i get is the post screen showing that i have not infact got a overclock at all (see second picture). but if i go back into bios it still shows the fsb to be 458*7 (see first picture).

Try clocking UP to 3.2GHz.

Clocking down is pointless, especially by 3.1977GHz ;)

Overclocking / Motherboard Problem

stumpy6 — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 22:41:19 GMT

Hello. I have a problem that i hope somebody maybe able to help me with.
Up till this afternoon i was able to overclock my E6550 on a P35C-DS3R to 3.2mhz with no problem. I had a problem in that it would not post after a reboot. So i reset the bios. Now it will not overclock at all.
If i set the fsb to 458*7 =3.2mhz in bios, when i reboot it shows on the post screen it is only at the default (333*7=2.33mhz), going back into bios it still shows that the fsb is @458.
Ive tried cpuz and also EVEREST Ultimate and both say the same thing the cpu is running at 2.33mhz.
I thought updating the bios might sort out the problem so i did, from the F10 to F11 but it hasnt.
Also if i used the load optimal settings in the bios it sets the fsb to 100*7 = 700Mhz which is below the default.
So any advice that anybody can give me would be gratefully excepted in getting this problem sorted.
Here are a couple of photo to show what im on about.
