I guess right now, mostly step6 chips for sale. (how can you tell from the box before you buy it?)
So what is the best solution for daily bang-for-the buck, with step6? 6300, 6400, 6600, 6700, 6800? And would you put it on a DQ6, DS3 or a bad-axe or ASUS?
And... is there a different motherboard that could redeem my e6600 step6? Are there people with e6600 stepping 6 CPU's that are getting better OC's. If the stepping is the problem, more motherboards won't help. But I'd love to be proved wrong. TProblem is most people are running 6300's or 6400's, or ES (stepping 5 or less Engineering Sample) 6600's.
If anyone is getting any juice out of the e6600 step6, I could move my e6600 to that board, and drop a cheap e6300 into the DQ6, people are clearly getting some nice results.

Daily 486fsb, 3.4ghz prime95, superpi32m full stable.
Nice work xmsmmgr!
2 questions: what does the CPU tab on cpu-z say is your CPU stepping?
And at what speed can you boot Windows (before EasyTune)? 486fsb?

stebbing 6, revision b2
500-501fsb bootable:D
if you drop the multi higher FSB should be attainable ( BUT WITH CLOCKGEN ONLY ) Biggest handicap is your memory - it HAS to be able to do 1000mhz+ in order to keep up with FSBQuote:

If your CPU+Cooling is good you can also use the stock multi:

This was an ES - but a good retail can do just as well....
My 6400Hz easily goes to 1050 4-4-3-x @just only 2.2v..I think it's not ram issue..your cpu is step 5 b1 and this is the key issue..I see a lot of retail 6600[step6 b2) all of them as same es with dq6-ds4:slapass: cpu+cooling is custom waterchiller and water temp is 22-27 daily..Cpu+NB+VGa cooled by waterchiller...Quote:

Try to start off booting with a LOW FSB ( eg 300 ) and use clockgen. With early E6700 retails I have seen some weird stuff on this board- but with the latest Conroe even on an E 6700 500FSB is attainable on the DQ6.
GAM you rock, this worked like a charm. Just a few notes: most of the BIOS changes are in the Integrated Peripherals section. I'm not sure the 'SATA Port 0-3 Native Mode' matters for us since it changes this between 'Native IDE Mode' or 'Legacy IDE Mode' and we are out of the IDE business at that point. I didn't even mess with the boot order since there was only one drive plugged in on the system and it seemed to find it wherever I plugged in. The file I downloaded and installed from Gigabyte was called motherboard_driver_raid_intel_ICH8r.exeQuote:

What other BIOS changes first? Voltages? Memory ratio and timings?
Right now I am booting XP at 360 FSB, but EasyTune won't go above 380.
We have same CPU and motherboard. How do you do it?
I saw a Kentfield at a gaming competition today.
Also saw an E6600 step 6 ES for sale, but they only showed 50% OC.
Hello all
i use a DQ6 with a X6800 an a water symphony with a volcano 4005
1 - Bios F3, unlock multiplier to 16, before locked to 11
2 - This mobo is a big :banana::banana::banana::banana: when rebooting. All component takes shoots. Hard disk don't like how this mobo reboot and more when an overclock fail. i will change it when i will found one so good. (tested P5B dlx and P5WDH)
3 - My X6800 run at 445*8 ram is set to 1113 in the bios. Good perf but pushning the 6800 at 3.7 or 3.8 is impossible in the bios. the DQ6 won't boot. But in XP, with tune prog, it run at 3.7 perfectly ans stable !! What's on ??? Hey i stop my machine sometimes....
4 - Set you ram by SPD you will win stability with F3 bios
by the way many problems, maybe solved by new bioses, but i won't keep it and will try AW9D MAX.
i think there is many problems with retail conroes and bioses. too much test we have seen with ES, now it's time with retail.
Well...I have the F4a for my DQ6.
Booted into 400FSB one time and cannot not do it again.
I still think there are some problems with the DQ6 and the Nvidia 7900 series cards.
That or all of the damn rebooting the damn bios has been doing has screwed up my XFX 7900 GTX!!
I can't play any damn games with out it artifacting or just plain locking up!!! When I try to exit a game the card will not change back to my desktop settings.....it just keeps flashing all kinds of crap on the screen.
I'm about to tell Gigabyte to go and :banana::banana::banana::banana: themselves and get me a ASUS P5B.
Mel
Well....I'll be damned...Quote:

Seems to be working fine now.
Not to try overclocking again.

Already try all of them but haven't got any improvement.sorry for fisrt ss I didnt see it:eek:Quote:

I discovered (well not really me a friend with my board) that if you are using memory with Certain IC's DQ6 will be stuck at 320-340 FSB...
Then if you change mem and use F3A Bios, FSB Will raise..
Corsair Crappy RAM (5400LED I think) = 320FSB tried up to mch +0.7v and It wont get a single mhz
Geil DDR800 = 475FSB Bios Boot About vmch 0.3v+

:D SBI
I was running at 3.24Ghz on e6600 step6... XP booted fine... but I discovered I'm not dual-prime stable. Backed off and will report stable results when I get them.
The DS4 was only sold in Europe, looks like its coming to Asia in a week, not sure about America. This board is in between the DS3 and the DQ6 in price and features. Has DS3 audio. Does not have 12 phase power of DQ6 so may not run Kentsfield (though, they said the 12 phase made for better OC and that has not been our experience overall). Has fancy heat-pipe of DQ6.
I am not using easytune - but clockgen ( www.cupid.com ) AFAIK easytune doesn't allow more than 1.6V vcore set in BIOSQuote:

I use about +0.65V MCH and +0.15V FSB
Booting low FSB for me only to avoid having the BIOS get stuck in the endless reboot circle. I can boot 470 into Windows from BIOS - but only once - next restart will require clear CMOS - and I am sick of it....dunno how many times I have reset this BIOS...
So how do you do this?Quote:

Also, which version of Clockgen do you use? I can't seem to change any setting more than once.
Thanks,

Vmch: +0.65 ( first I set it to +0.40 - next boot I raise it higher )
vPCI-E: +0.20V
Vfsb: +0.15 ( do not exeed 0.15V - can cause hangup - if trying to raise above +0.15 only raise the Vfsb individually - without touching any other settings)
I actually don't touch VFSB + VPCI-E until I have most other settings set and rebooted at least once
In Windows I use clockgen to raise to the desired FSB. Forgot the name of the PLL - you have to select the correct PLL first before you can use clockgen. I think it ends with 509...sorry already broke down the rig getting it ready to sell...
mele: I have same g.skill. Maybe try 5-5-5-15 in BIOS (hit ctl-F1 first as you probably know). Also be sure to go for dual-prime test. I had to back off a bit when I realized I wasn't stable.
mikeguava: hey where are you selling it... do you have specs like mele and I do in our signatures... you're dual-prime stable?
You know, you can adjust the multiplier DOWN with many boards, including the DQ6. I can set my e6600 to 6, 7, 8, or 9 and so can you. cpu-z reports my setting of 8 correctly, but EasyTune incorrectly uses 9 and reports my CPU speed as 333Mhz high. Still, I'm having trouble passing dual-prime at 333 FSB, and I suspect the memory, so I'd actually rather adjust my multiplier UP.
Can I know what is the max fsb you guys can set in the bios that is bootable? Thanks. :confused:
Here is an answer we all wanted to know:
How to set BIOS option "SATA Port 0-3 Native Mode" under "Integration Peripherals" item ?
If operating system does not support native mode, such as Windows ME/9X, please disable this option. IF you use Windows XP or 2000, you can disable or enable this option.

N15M0 I can get mine to 490fsb so far bootable.I haven't used any software overclocking yet.I didn't test it either to see how stable it was.But you did ask for the highest fsb bootable.This is with most of the voltages set to normal.The Vcore is set to 1.34v.If I play around with it some more and up the voltages a little.Then I (might) get over 500 fsb.
:sonic:
490 huh...you must call over to my place to see what the hell i'm doing wrong.
