thank you caped_crusader.. I always thought it was on the M.I.T. page, and it just didn't work on this board. Howcome I can only add GTL_REF voltage to CPU GTLREF1 +3%? I can only take it away from GTLREF2 at -3%, -6%, and -9%. Is this strange or even worth messing with this setting with only being able to adjust 1 GTL_REF voltage?
Not yet but i'm gonna wait until they sort out that compatability problem, and any other little problems they discover after everyone has it.Quote:

I've had no issues at all with 4x1GB on the X38DQ6.
Corsair 8500 C5 running at 1066 5-5-5-15 100% stable.
I've seen issues with many other boards but this one takes 4 sticks quite happily.
I do like the idea of 4x2GB though
Heh! My RAM also does 1.2Ghz on 5-5-5-15 and is cheaper! :DQuote:

:up: that's great manQuote:

Yeah, i know man. But G.SKILL's kits are extremely consistent with OCing. and they love this board too :)Quote:

they dont "discontinued" them, the demand just exceeds supply..Quote:

LOL! WTF!? :confused:Quote:

I bought the Q9300.. I will post what I get with overclock once I reload my OS.
Can anyone add voltage to GTLREF2? Dinos22, howcome you can add +6% and I can only add +3% to GTLREF1? Can you add any to GTLREF2, dinos22?
What will GTLREF1 help?
I can't get 512FSB, it freezes like 5 minutes into windows regardless of my settings on MCH..
From my understanding it should help higher fsb overclocks, but I am not certain if it matters if you cannot increase both GTLREF1 and GTLREF2. I am not seeing much improvement when changing just GTLREF1.
My Q9450 came from Tankguys and cost $400, shipping broke my heart.
GTL_Fer1/2? Is this listed as a CPU GTL_Ref 1/2, as in GTL ref for each of a dual core or 2 sets of a quad, or is it just a cPU GLT and a chipset GLT ref caled 1 & 2? Whya cant Gigabyte just lable their stuff like ASUS does so we can all make sence of it. +2 means nothing if you have no idea what 0 was to begin with.
Does this mobo report chipset and other voltages in Everest in actual vales used to compare? I know my P35C-DS3R doesn't yet. (as of Sep '07 Everest BETA v4.20.xx).
If nobody wants to create a BIOS template, can somebody at least direct me to a link of one from any forum or tread?
