There is a bios template for these boards in this thread.
Everest 4.5 is out, and I get all voltages reported fine.

I beleive, I was able to get 7.5 x 421 = 3.16Ghz~ and then I hit a wall... I gave up quick however and turned off the PC and went to bed. I am going to chew GigaByte a new ass today for sending me back a board that doesn't even post.
The EP35 got a beta bios update, they listed the audio latency as a fix...so GB do seem to be working on it.
I want one for mine that fixes my overclock to be better..
Can you POST a link to page or users profile? I didn to find yet, starting from beginning of tread. So yes, I am looking when I get time to read.Quote:

Bios templates can be found here.
You must have been searching hard.. search the thread with the word template, and it comes up.. :shrug:Quote:

i've been playing with it as of late and i have to tell you it's pretty bloody good.....i'm finally happy with a bios after F3... :up::up::up::up::up::up:
it would be prettyy difficult as the Asus P5E3 Premium WiFi is the 1st asus board to have dual channel GTL ReF settings.Quote:
Whya cant Gigabyte just lable their stuff like ASUS
GTLREF1 = cores 0 & 2
GT:REF2 = cores 1 &3
Default values are I think 67% & 63%
luck:)
Have you checked your board for the latency problem?Quote:

I'm currently on F7 which I've found very stable, gives me 400x9 or 450x8 no problems on my Q6600.
Memory clocks up to 1200 on 450x8 using 2.66d without any issues (even with the 4x1 GB sticks)
I've recently stuck with 400x8 and 1066 as my chipset seems to get very hot, I'm awaiting all the Acetal EK chipset/Mosfet blocks to come into UK stock before cranking the fsb up over 400 again especially with the weather getting hotter.

I have been able to get to 420x 7.5 = 3.15Ghz Easy on 1.26v~ I just let it sit on that last night to burn it in a little. I will jack it up more soon.
Pretty good freq for the volts:yepp:
I never seem to get any CPU that will do much at all at low volts.
They've all tended to do well as far as top end freq but then they've all needed some serious volts to get there.
One day I'll get one that clocks well and doesn't take too much juice to do it!
It's a q9300 but, I'm guessing you cought that already though. My other board which I still think is better then this one "GA-P35-DQ6" is blown,, I am sending it back tonight. I was pist when I figured out that they GigaByet sent it back to me not booting at all... My q6600 as you see in my sig does good to. I am probably giving this one to much voltage for the speed it is at right now.
No I thought it was the Q6600 you had at that voltage/speed.
Still plenty of people seem to get away with far lower voltage than me.
I'm still holding off of 45nm, as I can't see one that jumps out and says 'Buy Me' not like the Conroes did anyway.
I tried F9b, bios dated April 18th....but as Pookie said, you can't overclock at all. You try set anything other then default FSB it won't accept it.
That is a winner bios, ding ding ding, lmao, what was gigabyte thinking there huh,Quote:

??? Look what bios I have and what is the CPU freq.Quote:

Advice, do a bios complete reset.
I have an ex38 so, I don't get to use the bios that disables overclocking darn lol. Any way I got my shiznit up to I bebeive it was 445 x7.5 last night and my shiznit was snappy. I did a latency test on my board fyi and it has the issue as well but, I don't think it is as bad as some people here though. I also besides that subject ran some test on my 445 x7.5 and wow it is alot snappier then my q6600 that is for sure. I was able to get it to like the 2.4b setting and with extreme and a speed setting of 7 it is giving me like 56ms response and 9000~ Mbs all way across in everest on the memory test.

With this I get 8500 mb/s in Everest
If I overclock my system at 445*9=4005Mhz with mem at 2.4b and Performance level at 7 I get in Everest 9150 mb/s and low latences. (100% stable)
With this numbers, I think the best overclock I can do are 445*9
Is it right ?
Thank you very much !
I would think probably but, I am still burning my new one is to so, you might be able to get more out of her if you try. What voltage are you using? I had to get the motherboard to pump 1.35v into it to get it happy there last night. My bios isn't the best either it has obvious flaws in it like the phaze adjust not working,,,. My overclock with my q6600 was severly held back by this board, with my P35 DQ6 I could easily reach 4.15Ghz with my Q6600 and with this one I was lucky to pull 3.95Ghz.
Hello guys
since i swap my old C2Q (which is hardly OC to 3.8)
i said its not worth it if i dont reach 4.0 GHz , with my new E8400 pross.
and in fact it was very easy to achieve the target
Of course i dont forget to OC my 9800GX2 two :up::up:
