I was reading this thread which actually is about the P35C-DS3R and something about overvolting ram, I have the NON-C version, P35-DS3R, is this something I need to be concerned about? I'm running 6400 crucial ballistix.
thx

Are you considering the BIOS as 3rd party software?There is way too much made of voltages read by 3rd party software.
None of gigabytes responses addressed my question. Very frustrating! There are only 3 possibilities I can think of.
1) Nobody in the GGTS read/writes or understands any English what so ever.
2) They are complete idiots
3) They are side stepping my issue and won't answer my many direct questions. Gigabyte cover up of the problem.
BTW sorry if my posts come off a bit "edgy" most here are used to me.
Are you considering the BIOS as 3rd party software?
Cause here I am with F5 , 1.8V=normal right? then +0.2V set in BIOS=2.144V?
Yet with my cheapo kingston pc2-5300 normal sets me at 1.89V.
But again I read your disclaimer about lack of experience with the C. I almost wish I had a lack of experience with this board since I don't see myself buying new RAM before I buy a new board. Live and learn I guess.
I looked on my pc health bios screen and where you have voltage values I just have "OK" next to vcore, ddr18v, +3.3v, and +12v.. so how am I suppose to know if there is a problem or if i have to make some adjustment? I haven't built a new system in years so if anyone can 'newbify' the conversation I'd apprecaite it.
Thanks guys
Do as BillParrish advised and monitor using Speedfan Vcore2, and don't go above +0.2V in BIOS until you're sure of what your board is doing.
Do you have the latest BIOS? It was only the latest F5 version for the p35c that replaced the OK/FAIL with the actual voltages. And with the old BIOS the RAM voltages would read FAIL when set to +0.3V in BIOS.
