What do you guys think? Are you happy with your DQ6s?
before you switch, the gigabyte board has its quirks too, every board does, the question is will those quirks bother you??? problems i have found on this board....Quote:

Good luck. :up:
Hi all.
Good thread.
Ive had the X38-DQ6 for about 6 weeks now, and i think im starting to somewhat figure it out.
I've noticed that,- especially with the F3 bios, the most important bios-setting in terms of stability and wether youll be able to boot the bios successfully or not, is the TrD. Ive found that, when overclocking FSB beyond 400mhz, this setting has to be set to 8, irregardless of memory-overclock in general. Anything less, and the bios will reset itself on next reboot.
I get the feeling the board is having trouble correctly identifying my ram. Sounds to me like alot of people are seeing this problem. My system for example, is not stable on default optimized bios settings, because it tries running memory at 1066 with a TrD below 8.
The options for robust graphics and performance can both be set to the highest setting with no decrease in stability as far as i can tell. This is all with F3 bios.
I think I've found a sweetspot for my system, wich is a G0 E6750 and Crucial Ballistix 8500.
475*8, and memory at 1:1. System is Orthos stable for 24 hours at 4-4-4-4.
This is aircooled with Scythe Ninja revB with a SilenX 120mm 122CFM fan. vcore at 1.58, memory at 2.28. I only up NB at the lowest setting and keep the other voltages on standard.
Has anyone been able to run this stable at 4ghz or above with the E6750 ? It seems im hitting a wall. No matter the vcore i just wont be stable at 4ghz and above. Any ideas welcome.
Some feedback to other users. Ive seen a few people getting anxious about their 3ghz cpu "only" beeing 2ghz in the OS. This is due to speedstep. It will jump up to 3ghz as soon as theres sufficient load. Ofcourse, you can just disable the speedstep feature in bios.
hello i'am new o/cer and i have some questions.
I have gigabyte dq6-x38 q6600(g0) with ultra extreme 120 and 4gb ram trascent at 800Mhz.
I have.
DDR2 +0.2
PCI-E +0.2
FSB +0.15
CPU 1.38125
My problem is that i can't found the right voltages to make my system stable on 3.4Ghz. I run orthos and after 5 or 6 minutes system crash. I don not have problem with temps, in idle is 40-43 and load 60-62.
1.Can anyone with this system tell me the right settings on bios?
2.Witch bios is the best for my mobo?
3.Is better to have multiplier to 8 or 9?
4.Witch of the following voltages is the most important to improve my fsb?
Thanks!
Well , these setting should work fineQuote:

set CPU to 1.40
leave the rest of volts to Auto
Can someone plz tell me which value in picture are the "TrD" value
Think I found it, "Static tRead Value".
Now I can use "extreme" as performance enhance, only standard before.
Changed it from 5 to 8.
Static tRead Value

At last pple are starting to actually give Overclocking advice in this thread,much appreciated .
We cover a wide range of topics related to the mobo in this thread.
How much is the vdrop? isn't there any option in the bios that stops vdrop like asus?
yeap important timing to tweak for stability and performance :)Quote:

I know it's becoming a looooong thread, but there's good info to be found and plenty of bios settings info for just about all config's.
OK, so i got my ram to be OCCT stable!!!!!!!!!! my final specs are in my sig!!
Does anyone have problem with the X38-DQ6 ...with the sound card...It seems that the board generate electrical noise though all audio ports it can be heard only on the headphones but is annoying ...can anyone tell me what tot do to remove that noise?I have:
Q6600@3.2 ghz 2x1gb mushkin 8500(996535) enermax liberty ELT500AWT-DXX and 8800gts(768) Gainward is there anything that could make the noise except the Mainboard pleae help I like to watch movies with the headphones thank
Very nice! I just dropped that same RAM into my system but am not having much luck overclocking it. Do you leave subtimings at Auto or have you entered them manually?Quote:

And very nice OC by the way, but a bit high on the vcore. What are your temperatures on Small FFT?
I set the main timings manually and sub timings the only one i touched was trd i changed it to 8.....passes memtest and the occt 1.2.0b ram test.......voltage is +.40Quote:

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:

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!
plugged mine in from day1 even though using 1x gfx. I always work on the basis if it's there connect it:lol:Quote:
i would suggest everyone to connect it, wont hurt to get a bit more performance.
Edit:
@larry try these as a reference 9x400 13hr stable in later runs it went with vc @1.40, at your lower fsb should be fine.
luck:)
Well I finally went ahead and did a bios update. Went from the F3 to the F6b. Was a mission, to re-clock everything, but it's up and running! One thing for sure, is I clocked it 200mhz slower, but, the voltage is much less from 1.58 to 1.48......

Still my best bios f5h
today running some benches on WATER and 2x1 promms/powerchips memory
SuperPI 32M @ 11min 29 sec :eek:
Perf.level 6
http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/9...4242wj5.th.jpg
tried a few different bioses for X38T-DQ6 with the yorkfield
F2 stock
not bad but RAM doesn't clock well and bit slow :S
F5d @&%&^%@#@^#@ :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing pain in the arse bios
the only setting i seem to be able to boot at is 400*12 LOL >> 350*10/11/12 for example no go....360/370/380/390 no go hahaha WTF :mad:
the board cannot seem to clock my quad to anything higher than around 415MHz FSB whereas i was easily stable at 450 on DDR2 board
went to F4a clocks CPU great, doesn't have FSB holes and issues as other bios but the RAM ratios always default to Auto.....cannot be changed :mad: so when you boot they obviously go ultra crappy slow strap and it's really slow in bios
far out hahah
they need to do some more work on this DDR3 board bios
board feels more stable than DDR2 board but just funky bios issues argh
I think there should be 2 different threads, one for DDR3 and one for DDR2 since they use a different bios and pretty much 2 different boards.
Hey guys,
I got this board as part of my new machine last weekend and I'm having a strange issue:
Specs:
Corsair HX620 PSU
GA-X38-DQ6
Q6600 G0 - TT V1 cooler
G.Skill DDR2 800 2X2GB (5-5-5-15 SPD)
BFG 8800GT OC
2X WD SATA2 250GB
LG SATA 20X DVD
Vista x64 / XP Pro dual boot
I'm just trying to get the system stable at stock speeds right now - not even trying to OC it yet.
1. Under any BIOS other than F3, I can't get anything other than AUTO memory settings to run, which means 400Mhz with the 4:5 divider. I've been told 1:1 is optimal, but setting the divider to 2.00A causes the system to either not POST or error like crazy in Memtest. As soon as I go back to AUTO, it'll pass Memtest overnight and do hours of Prime95 just fine. With the F3 BIOS, the same is true, I can run it fine at 1:1 (266MHz) It feels sluggish though, like it's not quite as snappy as it should be.
I really don't understand why this would be the case that it's unstable at a LOWER memory speed than at the higher 400MHz one. I want to be able to run the latest BIOSes for the extra features etc...
Any idea what could be wrong here?
Thanks!
Ryan
oh crap.;)...was seriously thinking about purchasing this board...i'll wait a little longer before diving in head first.Quote:

well i can't REALLY test them properly with a quad core for obvious reason right ;)
Still no bios updates i see, telling ya...they've given up.
Meh, I was finally able to switch out my 4 x 1GB modules to 2 x 2GB Patriots. Price was right, so why not? :D I'm on F6b right now, so we'll see what happens.
Richard,
Have you seen any problems with the G.Skill RAM not running at anything other than 400MHz with the F6b? I can't get mine to run at any other divider with that BIOS - if I go back down to F3, it works at 1:1...
knock on wood, my board is awsome, passes memtest, occt and prime blend, and small fft's with my setup in my sig, love the board so far, much better than the maximus formula......but i might go with the 780i SLI board, so i can do sli.
got a board coming in a couple of weeks from nvidia.....should be interesting to see how it fairs compared to 680iQuote:

New BIOS's are in the works. There is a very active German Gigabyte forum here...http://forum.gigabyte.deQuote:

He works a lot directly with Gigabyte and is a reliable source.
Also, the moderator from Gigabyte is promising more new BIOS's really soon.
I am new to on this forum and i have a problem. I did read almost all topics but i did not saw anyone who had my problem.
My specs are:
DQ6 X38 board Bios F5g
4 GB 2x2GB OCZ Platinum memory 5-4-4-15
74GB Raptor
Leadtek 8800GTS
500GB Samsung Spinpoint
X-Fi sound
Hauppauge tv
Corsair modular power 620W
Antec P182 case
Q6600 G0
Scythe Mugen
Overclocking goes well, i run my system at 3.6GHZ now iand i feel it can be much faster than that.
I set i bios:
9 x 400 FSB
PCIe 100
Manual timings ram 4-4-4-12
Trd 10
Ram 2.00A 800Mhz PC6400
CPU 1.48v
PCIe +0.35V
My system does boot well but when i close my system and i restart it the next day my bios does not like the settings he gives a light click and resets himself to 266x9.
When i boot with default settings after a while i can set the 3.6 values and it boots like charm.
When i set 8 x 400 this also happens but then my system says it runs on 2.13
GHZ 8 x 266.
So my conclusion is, only the FSB resets himselves, all other values stay in the bios.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks in advance.
The BIOS has a bug with DDR2-800 memory. Set all timings in BIOS manually. Your tRD is very relaxed, your're loosing a lot of performance. Try tRD7 or 8.Quote:

I've seen screenshots of F7b which contains loadline calibration option. I hope that F7c will be released next week.
I hope we get loadline collaboration, it would be good to have no vdroop.Quote:

I will also try to set all timings manual, i will look at the default values and put them in manually.
I will post my results on the forum.
Thanks!!
just reg for this forum...very informative
i have been using the F7d X38-dq6 bios for under a week now, and my system is very stable and fast 333 x 9 @ Vcore = 1.184
It does have another option Loadline calibration to keep Vdroop to a min
I had to email gigabyte and request this bios
So hopefully it will be posted soon on the various support sites. By the way, do the letter after the bios number indicate a Beta bios, or just the newest revision of a shipping bios

A letter normally indicates a beta BIOS.Quote:

Thanks all for the reply's.
Is there someone on here who also has a Q6600 on this board, 2x2GB RAM and who doesn't have boot problem while overclocking.
If yes, i wonder about your bios settings and which bios you have, i will try F5h too as suggested on here.
Maybe someone can mail me the F7d bios marcel___h@hotmail.com.
Thanks in advance.
bios 7fd is on its way

Gigabyte always tends to squeeze out a few extra MHz out of CPUs compared to Asus and other boards for me though so that's always nice heh :)
Just loaded the bios, loadline calibration doesnt work....as for everything else, seems the same to me.
Seems that 4*1GB operation with Ballistix 8500 is impossible over 800MHz. One guy from another forum got this reply from Gigabyte support:
Wounder how this board manages 4GB of Ballistix Tracer which I aim for...Quote:
Hi,
The reason to make mobos with 4 memories is that it usually works. We have sold a lot more than 50 GA-X38 cards so that 50 people have issues with their combination of memories does not mean all GA-X38 cards are broken. But it can certainly seem that way as it's only those who do have problems that talk about it. For example I haven't received a single mail here saying our products work without a problem (and have no idea what I could help with if someone did send such a mail).
Back to the issue at hand, we have already tried everything that can be tried over mail. For more practical help please contact the reseller.
Best Regards.
The problem exists with my X38-DQ6. In order to run 1066 MHz, I had to remove two modules from my mainboard. Gigabyte needs to look into this as I would consider it an engineering issue. That email response from Taiwan does not sound positive. Most people have moved onto 2 x 2GB kits, so they won't see the problem. Telling the customer to pester the reseller on this matter is not a professional answer. The reseller will only RMA the motherboard for another one with the same issue.
i had the board for 3 weeks and never got 4 sticks to go higher than 800mhzQuote:
