mine seems to prime fine at 400mhz with my E6600, bombs at 410 after just 2s on F6b, pumping 1.55v through the cpu too
going to try and lower the multi and see how it goes

*UPDATE*
F6b..............bad for overclocking it seems, and my X-fi aint working no more *peeved off*
*goes back to F5*
I had the samething and I fixed it by installing the drivers again. Working so far.Quote:

Same here, X-Fi stopped working....please report your experience to Gigabyte technical support so as they can issue a bios fix.Quote:

OK, here is where i am at right now, my voltages are (G)MCH is to Normal, FSB also set to Normal. My Vcore 1.41250V. VDIMM is set to 2.125V.

I've had it upto 420FSB, but decided to Orthos at 2.9Ghz...2 hours 23 mins stable thus far.
F5d is an awesome bios :), I'm at 410 x 8 and orthos stable :D. I'm just waiting for DDR18V - my ram needs 2.2V for 800Mhz plus - to be fixed before I get to my goal of at least 3.4Ghz :D (I want 1Ghz OC!!!!).Quote:

richard you have a 6600 quit pissing around with lower multis lol hit 9x and see if you can hit 400 easy.
im still sitting at 412 x9 didnt have time on lunch to try higher but will do more tonight.
and gskill 6400HZ STILL WILL NOT work at 1000mhz and i mean stable..
400x9=3600Mhz...i don't think it will hit that speed without a HUGE jump in voltage, to my mind it's not WORTH running 1.55V throguh a €400 CPU.
First things first, test and see what the highest FSB is first using the lowest possible voltages, then i'll work up.
If i get 3Ghz from my Conroe i'll be happy.
I'm gonna test the HZ later with 1000+ MHz.
richard if you can NOT get 3ghz your in trouble i mean that very seriously
if you cant get 3.2ghz at under 1.5 volts then you need to sell that chip and get a new one.
seriously though you must have one of the first chips released and they take alot of volts to overclock.. id sell it and get a week 27 or higher.
hell you got 4 bones i'll sell you mine. that will show you what the Dq6 is good for... :)
3.7ghz @ 1.44v easy as pi... pun intended.
and just so you know 1.55v in no way shape or form is going to hurt that chip.
its just going to get insanely hot so you need to have some damn good cooling.
i dont even run 1.55v into my water cooling cuz it gets too hot.
I ran 1.6V earlier and all is well, max temp was 63oC on coretemp with arctic coooling freezer 7... but that was only a tester run of 3.6Ghz, to see the temps and stability.
Well I have installed it again and it has done jack s*** to sort it outQuote:

cheers Richard, ill get that sent off right away
I tell you, sometimes its tempting just to sell the DS3 as a bundle with my 805D and be done with it....shame I really have to wait untill the DFI RD600 :(
430FSB...default (G)MCH + FSB voltage. Ignore the Vcore...testing only.

Hey Lestat...look here:
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=120653
How can that be bad?...and if Gigabyte tweak further we might easily see 500FSB.
HZ 2Gb kit at 1000MHz...though not tested:
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=120660
So...Whats the general consensus on the best bios for the DS3. I've got the Gskill 2gHZ kit for ram and e6600. Thx.
2.6ghz and you ask me how can that be bad ?
compared to what you used to have thats great. now switch it over to 9x and go..... you should have saved yourself 200 bucks and got a 6400
6x 445 dont mean nuttin you still hitting squat for cpu speed. thus you just wasted all that money on that cpu
or try 8x 440 or 400... man if you cant hit 400 x 8 then that mobo and cpu are the worst conroe mix i have seen.
all that ram speed doesnt amount to much for a conroe.
conroes are different.. they dont get all crazy fast with fast ram like amd's and the old intels did.
gskills should be just fine on the Dq6 at 1000mhz but the DS3 ... something is just wrong and still gigabyte ignores it.
She won't boot with 1.5V let alone 1.55V, 400x9...
So it's either this:
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=120679
Or 414x7= 2800Mhz....which would be better?, faster CPU speed or faster FSB?
Maybe i'll buy a new E6600 and sell the one i have, or maybe there some other bios setting i am not doing correct.
There must be something you're doing wrong. I'm currently benching at 3.9Ghz with the new F5d BIOS. Best BIOS yet.Quote:

listen your nto doing something if you cant even boot at 1.5v
turn off all cpu throttling.
c1 eist thermal throttling
in pc health disable all the temperature crap.
lock the pci-e freq at 100mhz.
lock the dram at 2.4v
dram divider of 2.0
cpu voltage - 1.5v
FSB 400
cpu multi 8x
turn off EVERYTHING that your not using. EVERYTHING that means com ports and printer port. audio. sata... if your not using it turn it off.
and like i said earler yank out that stupid X-Fi i have seen tons of people :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: about that card giving them issues with their system stability.
your doing something wrong
and for gods sake... damn it put your hardware in your signature area so we can see what your hardware is.
