Interesting...I notice that your BIOS setting is 1.575V and CPU-z shows 1.536V. I mention that becasue I had the same setting/reading with my Q6600 at 3.825GHz (425x9), but I was on air. Anyhow, I'll try the new f9 and report back. Thanks!

Anyone know about vcore droop mod on GB-X38-DQ6??
Sorry for posting in wrong thread.
Well i'ts maybe just me that feel it so, but in bios when set to 1.55v it show 1.53v ok i know thats not a v-droop, i just wanna know :)
thats not vdroop jesus i will trade you boards
My DS3R
1.6 in the bios = 1.52 real.
thats not droop either that is gigabyte and retarded programmers who can not manipulate the hardware the way its supposed to be.
but with droop its under 1.52
de damned thankful you have that board..

Both the first page and second page contain lots of good mods for the P180/182, all of which I hve applied to my case. :up:
I also removed the stock filters and replaced them with some A/C foam filters with less restriction (1/8" think I think).
Results are great....but the best result still comes when I open the front door, which I do whenever pushing my gear to the limit!
Its Loadline Calibration...

Why the hell can't they add this to their P35 boards bios'es ? :down:
Hey road-runner, I was just checking out your updated sig....is that your highest stable OC?
BTW - no difference in vdroop with the change from f8b to f9b. 1.575V in BIOS = 1.536V in CPU-Z (@ load).
hi , just finished my new build , got a L737A651 q6600 1.250vid.
tried some priming at 4ghz but seems i have a bad mount on my d-tek fuzion
but it does 3.8Ghz 8 hours prime stable at 1.45v (1.5v set)
Just noticed im running F4 bios for th P35 Dq6 so its time to flash = ) what bios is best for quadcores ? dont need higher fsb then 450 or so.
Hardware
4x1GB ballistix pc8500
q6600
7900GTO , waiting for 8800GT
P35 Dq6
Pc p & p 750w
8x wd5000aaks , 4x raid0 2x raid0 2x backup
Highpoint rocketraid 2320 , drives running on mb atm since board doesnt display raid bios for some reason = ( its a pci-e 4x card
Btw does anyone know if i can clone the os from the mb raid array and copy it to the controllercard when ive created a new array on it ? with norton ghost or do i need to install win again with F6 ?
I run it Folding with SMP at 4004Mhz but I will get a random reboot about ever 12 hours and my temps are to high at that speed so I just set at 3870 and it has not rebooted yet, been running about 48 hrs now....
Edit: I think I need to get the accelerator nozzles for the fuzion, lap the cpu and get that 2900 out of my loop...
However, my OCs have become slightly more stable. Before I was only able to run 3DMark01SE at 4GHz w/ 1.6V, now I have successfully run all four 3DMark benchies. :up: :D
3DMark06
3DMark05
3DMark03
3DMark01SE
i'm moving over to the dfi-x38
hopefiully my overclocks get higher
