Minor issues with EP35-DS3L

[axy1985]

Hi!
Yesterday night I managed to finally et some free time in my hands, and finally managed to assemble my new PC. It's basically a E7200, 2GB DDR2-800 OCZ Plat. Rev. 2, and his EP35-DS3L.

I tried searching for similar topics, but didn't find any.

The system is rock solid (I believe it's on its 10th hour of SP2004, afer some OCCT and memtest passes) and really fast. My main problem is that I can't regulate fan speeds. All are running at 100% all the time, with the options in BIOS set to regulate them automatically. That's pretty annoying, but I'll find a solution eventually, faster with your help.

Now the minor problem is that dreaded DPC latency issue that's been ongoing for a while now. I works perfectly fine when I disable my wireless adapter (constant 40-50 us and the normal spike to around 400 us after 3-4 low ones), but if it's enabled, it "idles" at around 800 us and spikes to around 2000. I know there's no solution to this right now, but I still think it's unacceptable that a new, modern system has this issue.

Thanks for the help!

For controlling fan speeds, pick up a $20 fan controller and you won't see this issue even if you move onto another board.

You'd be jealous if you ever saw my family pc with E1200@3Ghz (from 1.6ghz) on DS3R. The DPC latency is always green, regardless of whether the WiFi card is enabled or what anti-malware is scanning. Well, it may be acceptable to Gigabyte.

Email for a beta BIOS to see if it helps with the DPC issue. It helped a lot for me. janus.yeh@gigabyte.com.tw

Hey thx for the info. I currently only have a cheap Fanmate lying around, which allows me to control one single fan. I would've liked that the fans regulated themselves depending on temperatures, but meh, Ill see what I can do.
About the beta BIOS... is it stable and functional, as if it were a final release? Flashing BIOS isn't something I do for a hobby, specially not beta ones.
Thanks!
