GIgabyte P35 DS3L auto and manual voltage

[tornadog]

I have the Rev 2.0 board and running the latest F9b bios. When I set my fsb to 433 and voltage to auto, it boots up and runs fine. But when I change it to manual and select normal for the cpu voltage, it gives me a bsod during the OS loading. What does auto do differently from my normal voltage setting. only way i can get it to boot properly is to raise the cpu voltage to 1.4V. But at auto everything is fine and even orthos runs without failure for over 2 hrs.

"Auto" CPU voltage often scales upwards along with your FSB setting. However, every CPU is different, and generally, the BIOS overvolts compared to what is required, when set on auto. I would set the CPU voltage manually.
