LOL.........funny guy..........i wasnt trying to show off, and if i wanted to use 2gb's i would have kept my D9s which did 650 stable.......this is my main system im not trying to break any records....and 3.8ghz for a q6600 on air is damn good.....oh and superpi is not a stability test, not even close, id like to see you pass occt ram test for a couple of hours before you start bragging about your OC.Quote:

Yeah its only while priming or heavy load, but at idle or light gaming or light usage it stays at 1.584.Quote:

So no new bios then?....guess Gigabyte have given up and realised no bios can fix the inherent issues with the X38 boards.
Come on Richard, I'm still using F3, and hoping a new one with some huge differences will come soon!!!
I've lost faith my friend.
is there any problem on my vga card if i have the pci-e to +0.35 24/7?
why do you need it that high????Quote:

i tested both X38-DQ6 F6B bios and P35T-DQ6 with latest beta bios F5 something and with that setting i can boot and bench at 450MHz FSB
that bios value relates to Performance level you see in memset i'm pretty sure
and in windows you can actually tighten it to improve your 2D/3D performance but somehow it doesn't like booting with it straight from the bios :)
thanks dinos22 for that tip...does the X38 "T" version work the exact same way as the DDR2 version?
i will find out tomorrowQuote:

richard as dino stated in his post the only thing i didnt try to adjust was the static tread value to get me stable when i had the boardQuote:

Yeah try that, set it to 8 it should work great.Quote:

someone on this forum tell me to have PCI-E +0.35 tRd 10 and cpu voltage 1.4vQuote:

cool!...looking forward hearing from you about that DDR3 board.Quote:

Hey, is there any hard mod for this board - X38-DQ6? I dont like vdrop, its pretty much and 1.6v for CPU is realy low, after it straight +0.05v is not so good! :mad:
With eVGA 680i board I could achive 3825Mzh Orthos stable with only 1.472v under prime load, but looks like not with this board, at least not in the beginning :down:
can you let us know what your best OC is with the gigabyte board and how it compares to evga 680i
Team.AU has told Gigabyte that droop and drop need to be addressed and we all get that sort of drop as well. I've tested P35-DS3P and P35T-DQ6 which had very little drop/droop to almost none........ i'm talking 1.45v set in bios idle load 1.44 in windows or 1.43 that's it
these new ones are not that good unfortunately :(
Hmm, first impression of GigaByte board is pretty good, out of the box, F5h BIOS and I am runing Prime95 on Quad at 400 x 6 more than 1 hour easy... I havnt touched setings in bios much, only set memory to 4-4-4-8, 2.00A strap, more voltage to memory ~ 2.2v and CPU as needed, maybe something else lol... but when I tryed 425 x 9 that was ok on one of my eVGA 680i stable with 1.472v under load in Windows, this one is not going, maybe need to change somtehing more... ;)
Must test it more, need to test best BIOS for my CPU, but I cant last, that there is no normaly adjustable voltage only till 1.6v, its to low for Quad with vdrop! :mad: Vdrop is something about ~ +/- 0.05v under heavy Quad load from BIOS settings. Any BIOS suggestion? Maybe some new beta? :yepp:
I have gone through few Asus, GigaByte, eVGA boards and best that I liked myself still is eVGA, all the way to go, really great board if you can get it working and support from eVGA is even better!
