For the people who own these boards, how how are you able to take the FSB?
I was able to do 500MHZ FSB 1:1 with 4X1GB perfectly fine. Which is something neither of my P5B-Ds were able to do. I tried finding the Max FSB last night but couldn't pull more than 520MHz without it locking up within a few seconds of Orthos. Although I tried with 4 sticks of ram.
So people with this board, could you take it much higher than 500MHz FSB?
i'll be able to answer you soon (i've just bought an E6600 that can do 555FSB on Watercooling) for now my E6400 has its FSB wall around 500MHz :(
Same here. Can't get over it with mine either. My memory can easily do it.Quote:

I'm currently at 450x8 on an E6600, which is technically 506.25 due to the 9x default multi. Haven't really tried for higher though.
Edit, what I would really like to see on this board is both a bios and a piece of software that will display accurate voltages.
and an explaination of the Ram timings!(I'm new to intel and DDR2)
wow, pretty sure mine will not near go that high. :p:Quote:

I bet he is using LN2 too. What is the highest on aircooling without mods?Quote:

Ya rig is in sig....
for voltages the only things i increased with FSB voltage + MCH voltage. Both by +0.1V. Ram is running @ 2.25V 4-4-4-12. All other sub timings are stock. for cooling all is stock except I have an Antec SpotCool over the ram on high speed (very nice little thing) as with 4 sticks they are getting quite hot.
Its the ram. I can run higher on any 2 sticks, but when running 4, can't hit 1k
My max stable is only 520MHz ...
try with 2 stick rams
ah now i see what you mean by that comment in my thread
:rolleyes:Quote:

ANy one got Ram probs with this Board? if so what are the probs, got myself a Mushkin 8500XP, I want to pick one of the P35-DQ6, and cancel my order of the Asus P5K deluxe ( due the Heat probs), untill I heared that gigabyte got some Ram probs? if so what are those probs exactly, any one experience with the Mushkin 8500XP (d9mgh ) on this board?
no problems at all with D9GKX (Super Talent PC6400)
hmzz, are there any other Probs atm with this board?Quote:

I've used 3 different sets of D9MGH, with no problems at all.Quote:

Thanks
and the funniest part is that i was actually copying and pasting it all when you jumped the gun because you're a tad impatient too :p:Quote:
