OMG!! - i've reached 360FSB!

Ooh what JOY!

Uisng a DQ6 with the new beta F5d.....i'm in Windows at 360FSB!!!
Haven't Orthos or tested yet...just booting is enoguh for me right now as with all previos bios i could NOT get the FSB past 340MHz without zero POST.

I have the (G)MCH at 0.4V and the FSB at 0.2V...i gave it juice just to see if i could at least boot, i'll start to drop the voltage to see where i am most stable.

Now all i need to do is find where and what settings are nesscary for 400FSB with a 6x mulit.

[The_Hardstylez]

360 is not so impressive. A DQ6 will run 400+ Without any more chipset voltage.

Show us 500FSB +

[Richard Dower]

Well, for ME it's impressive...considering all bios i;ve used thus far could not allow over 340FSB.

But since F5d bios.....look:

personally richard... id be calling gigabyte and demanding an RMA..
that board you have is a real lemon.
unless ther eis something in the bios your still havent changed or you have crap ram or crap psu

you really have something in your hardware be it th eboard or whatever that is giving you issues.

400FSB is good, my RAM is G.SKILL HZ 0627 which good upto 1000Mhz, my PSU is on OCZ 700W Gamxtreme and rails have been tested using a multimeter.

Everything in my rig is high end, it's the bios that is holding the board back.
F5c...340FSB max, now F5d i'm at 400FSB.

And i have lowered the (G)MCH and FSB voltage to 0.1V on both...so it is bios related, and i've yet to try past 400FSB, it may go much higher.

Agreed. My cheap P5B that no one liked because of his limited overclock is doing 9x400Mhz without too much problem.

show us 9 x 400 and some benching

[Richard Dower]

Pish, let's not debate which brand is best...i'm just glad Gigabyte are moving in the right direction.

have you set the memory divisor anything else than AUTO???


with gigabyte Ds3 if you let memry divisor in AUTO you cant overclok more than +- 360 FSB, you have to set divisor 2.0 or other but no AUTO

I don't think my CPU will go 3.6Ghz...without serious voltage, i will try 400x8 and see what voltage is nesscary.

I'm not gonna run 1.55V through a CPU no matter what, at €400 it cost to purchase it's not worth it for the MHz increase.

[Richard Dower]

Devider is 2:2 in bios.

cooling?

I think you don't need more than 1.5v for a screen

Ultra-90 using AS5 + two 92mm Evercool PWM fans in push/pull.

1.4000Vcore...no stability testing though.

[theteamaqua]

G.SKILL HZ 0627??
2GBHZ is it?? what does that 0627 mean?? r u talking about the batch for ur CPU?? the L627??

[Richard Dower]

Yes 2GB kit, HZ..0627 refers to 2006 week 27, which means the memory is using Micron D9's which are great overclockers. People have been getting between 1000-1100Mhz from 2.2-2.4V.

[vintage_guitar]

my 0652 are hitting 1000 fsb no problem, i think all of them are d9gmh... week doesnt matter

1.40v for 3Ghz ??? cant you run 3Ghz@vcore default???



BTW: my 2x1GB Teamgroup PC5300 CL3-4-4-8 are also 0627

3Ghz default Vcore...you joking???

Anyways here is where i'm at right now:

Congrats Richard! Hmmm, maybe I should try that BIOS and hit 8x400...or more.

I'm using 1.344 vCore (as set in the BIOS - 1.36V as reported by EasyTune 5 and 1.318V as reported by CPU-Z) on my DQ6 to get 8x375 FSB = 3 Ghz right now on my E6400. Dual Prime stable 16 hours I think.

[LordShadow]

Richard - Ive had exactly the same situation as you except Ive been running on a DS4.
Up until this BIOS I had tried EVERYTHING to get it above 340FSB and nothing.
New BIOS and im now Orthos testing at 410 (400x7 passed 1/2 an hr easy).
No voltage adjustments at all other than RAM up .3!
I HIGHLY recommend this BIOS (F5C) to anyone that is OCing their DS4 with an E6600 (same probably applies to E6700).

[Richard Dower]

I booted at 420FSB...but no stability testing conducted.

[Rectal Prolapse]

Richard, see if you can run dual-Prime (or Orthos) stable for 12 hours.

including the DS3, DS4 and DQ6. All are now able to get above 400Mhz with the E6600 and E6700! Tomorrow you will be seeing 3.4Ghz from me (or 430x8 RAM will be roughly 860Mhz), and then I'll go for the big 400x9 (ram at 1000Mhz). And there I shall stay!
I'll start orthos at current settings of 410x8 (3.28Ghz) 1.4V (I just added volts because my cpu doesn't seem to care how many volts I put through it... temps are never more than 63oC on coretemp except when I put above 1.6v - I won't do that again lol)
