Does anyone know how to unhide the ram settings in BIOS? Normally it looks like:

But twice when I went into BIOS the ram settings were there, but I have no idea how they got there. Gone again now of course.. :rolleyes:

Did I press something to unhide or is this just some weird bug?
ctrl + F1 at the BIOS main menu
HTH
Press Ctrl+F1 @ BIOS to enable advanced settings.
I cant find any difference between F4d and F4 so far, which is understandable. Ill keep playing and watching.
Edit: Running an e6600 on a DQ6 at 3.33ghz (rock stable at 1.4v vcore, maybe lower).
Ah thanks!
They fixed the spelling of RAID from RIAD. That's all I can tell that they fixed.Quote:

I had the same issue the 2nd time I mounted my heatsink - my E6400 is very slightly concave and I used half as much Arctic Silver 5 the 2nd time, and I discovered that the AS5 made zero contact in the middle, only the outer edges of the heat spreader.
Adding more AS5 in the middle and spreading it out a little bit with a razor brought the temperatures to a more reasonable level - 53C Idle, 64C Load, as measured by CoreTemp.
Please post details of this, here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=114726Quote:

turn them back to auto.
you dont even need to touch those until you get well over 400mhz FSB
I have changed those voltages and other settings 100 times since that pic lol, .3 vmch = 490 fsb :)
which mobo do you get that for? and which BIOS?
Dq6, F3g.
Good result with F3g. Have you tried F4 yet?Quote:

Was referring to F4 (Final). Not beta. Good to know about the reset issue though ;)
Using F4 for the DQ6...remember that thread about hidden bios options on the DS3, well i had an OC go bad and the PC shut down and restarted...went into and endless cycle.
Anywhoo...it disabled my OC settings and when i entered bios i saw one of those screens, it was the one with Advanced Chipset Features...something about EHCI.
I looked also in PC Health to see if i could also see the additional display for MCH temps and whatever else was supposed to turn up, i didn't see anything new.
But that Advanced Chipset Features thingy definately was there, i haven't been able to see those screens since.

FYI: the Intel AHCI bios has been updated to version 05082006. The previous version was 10042006.
The Intel RAID bios has noot ben updated though, still 6.0.0.1022, wheras Intel now have 6.1.0.1002.
Also it appears Asus have an updated JMicron RAID bios, 1.06.56a, whereas Gigabyte have 1.06.53.
Is there any way of making the DQ6 to run Crossfire? :D
That would be :woot:
U sooooo arrogant dude, thats alll u do being negative and arrogantQuote:

Well Darkoz, it seems I may have to concede at least half a point here.Quote:

Although I am not convinced that I did this, and though I don't believe my (documented) actions could be realistically considered as 'physically modifying the board' as Darkoz put it, I do recall some difficulting replacing the plastic protective insert back into the socket for shipping, of all things. (Stupid, I know, but probably due to the variety of socket inserts I've got floating around and the stress I was feeling at the time :rolleyes:.) Otherwise, I can't really imagine how I could have broken a socket pin :confused: I am quite careful with these things, truly... (No smart-arse comments, please ;)).
Nevertheless, I will be interested to know whether the board exhibits the original problem after they repair the socket.

Well Im liking the DS3 F5e BETA (I can get F5 but I cba to change it now lol)
dropped my multi down to 8x, and im running a 430 FSB priming fine currently, having to put 1.55v through it though (may be less but im not finding out untill I get the max)
and Ajfina, he is right, I have had to increase my vMCH up .2v to get 430mhz (might be only 0.1v needed but i want to get as much as I can)
I appear to be running stable at 2.8Ghz on the DQ6 with F4. I have left the (G) MCH and FSB voltages to normal, VDIMM is set to 2.2V and the VCore is set to 1.36250. FSB is 311x9=2799.
FSB : DRAM = 2:3 giving me 466.5MHz on the memory, DDR2 933Mhz, 2.2V with timings set to manual 4-4-4-12.
Orthos dual prime stable for 3 hours now, but will leave run for 12 hours.
F5C beta for DQ6 is up now @ computertechnik. I'll let one of you try it first.. :D
