Sorry but Gigabyte?? Are you sleeping or what? Were are the bios updates for youre perfect motherboards??
My memory does 5-5-5-15 at stock voltage 800Mhz with a memory mp of 3 (stock processor clock)
when I go to 380 FSB with the same timings I need +2v (780Mhz 5-5-5-15) how is that possible? Can somebody explain that??
A MB for €220 wich cant pass the 390 FSB?? I really dont understand that... still waiting......
did you see any major difference with F6?Quote:

What the fudge? :eek: i've been flamed! :stick:Quote:

n I get a little sneaky feeling ur me here??
No one from gigabyte ever visits here or openly admits they work for GB. so when all of the sudden all the beta bios's disappear and so does the guy who was sharing them.. you better believe that guy was probably never supposed to be sharing them anyways
no i havent heard anything on the TG or the gskill ram. to me thats not a good sign, if they had fixed it we probably would have heard something by now. i take it as a bad sign.Quote:
Lestat, do you know if Team and Gigabyte have made any progress with the D9 issues?
personally i figure the true fix will come in the C2 chipsets.
I find it rather disturbing the DS4 and DQ6 run that ram just fine but the DS3 cant.. yet they cant sit down and say..ok what did we make different in the DS3,, and then fix it,, if possible.
i dont think the DS3 has the backbone in the NB chipset to handle the ram at any higher than 950. but thats just my opinion.

I was actually under the impression that Gigabyte was almost deliberately posting new bios's for us to sort of test... obviously not openly, but it sounded like a good idea to me :D
i think its a good idea too and the only known bad flashes,, atleast around here was the F3 betas where they mislabelled the DS3 bios,, it was really a DQ6 bios. and that was 100% their fault.. not ours.
but either way.. i have a feeling they are working on things.. its just that with the C2 boards coming in stock... i dont even want to mess with mine anymore.. atleast not until i find out if they fixed the f'ing D9 issues... cuz if they didnt fix the D9 issues in the C2 then fook gigabyte right in the arse whole im going to buy the Abit baord.
If Gigabyte won't fix all those problems this will my FIRST and LAST Gigabyte mainboard, they will lose many customers.. believe me :mad: :slapass: :nono: .Quote:

no need for empty threats... I'm sure they are working on something big. Funny how we all expect our new mobos to clock so well...
Wow, every review of the DQ6 I've found has been extremely positive.
This review is pretty good though - they even tell you how they got an E6400 running at 3.5 GHz and how long they stress tested it for:
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/200...65p_dq6/9.html
I completely agree that the eSATA brackets that come with the board are pretty much useless. I'd rather have a Firewire/USB2 PCI bracket instead.
i'd stake my paycheck that they are using the C2 rev board.
the review date is just yesterday, Oct 4th
Yeaah I bought this motherboard because in every review they got excellent results, and i've got it home... and it sucks....
Maybe hand-picked boards or what?
My DQ6 is as good as the one in the review. Using the F5 bios (and previous F3 as well) I can reach the FSB of 450 w/o any problems. I can do it with ease. Didn't try more than that, as my chip - E6400 - requires 1.5V to run 3.6 GHz, and that's really hot. Overclocking with this mobo is extremely easy.
Emperium - I advise you to run your with different sticks - that may help. It's not really smart to use el cheapo RAM with a low multiplier CPU. RAM might be the culprit here.
My dq6 is performing great too... got it spi 32m stable an 3dmark stable at 495 FSB. Can take memory at 500 mhz 4-4-3-4 with divisor
The ram does 5-5-5-15 @ stock voltage 800 Mhz, even 830 is no problem with 1.8, ig i give +2v it can handle 870 100% stable, why cant I touch the 400 Mhz FSB?? Not matter wich settings I use..:slap: .Quote:

3. try not to plug in USB mouse. my board is able to OC without USB mouse. Ps2 mouse will do just fine. this also applies to keyboard.
4. when i OC with all the above conditions, the enabling of usb legacy support doesn't really come into play. i guess it's not affecting mine.
that's all that i've found out for today. i'm still not OC-ing my board cos no PS2 mouse. btw, i'm getting another replacement gfx and hope to post more findings.

All the other things I could say have been said many times already, but not these two.
why should you have to remove your USB mouse and keyboard? That's pathetic...
you dont have to touch the usb mouse and kb,, for the sake of arguement i switched to a ps2 setup and it made no difference. none at all. usb devices havent caused issues for a long time. and thats not the issue now.
Emperium just set your FSB to 400 and reboot, make sure you give the cpu plenty of juice. regardelss of what your using now once you hit a certain spot these chips usually require a hefty jump in voltage to get higher.
try 1.45v and see what it does. or even 1.5
the early conroes sucked for overclocking. and cold be the cause,
you could also just have a bumb board

yeah it sounds like a bad board...
have you tried raisin the mch or ram volts by anychance?Quote:

well the DQ6 has always been... wierd, to say the least.
i find it disturbing that the DS3 has usually always beat both the other boards in terms of overclocking.
wierd indeed.
