Gigabyte P35-DQ6... 500MHz FSB NO PROBLEM! + dual 32M 603MHz 4-4-4-5 RAM STABLE!

[michaLcoughliN]

both 2 very impressive board none the less.. Cant wait for July.. Its gonna be upgrade season

[doghouse]

Does the DQ6 have the equivalent of "Power slope" or VDroop adjustment that the Asus P5K Deluxe has?

[badboy]

WOW.

[Richard Dower]

Does the DQ6 have the equivalent of "Power slope" or VDroop adjustment that the Asus P5K Deluxe has?

No, but i've asked Bingo to talk with GB engineers about this to see if anything could be implemented, might not be possible...dunno.

[michaLcoughliN]

regardless the numbers coming from both boards are outstanding. im glad ive waited to update :P

Good to hear, its whats stopping me from buying a DQ6, Im having troubles convincing myself to buy the Asus P5K

Sometimes I'm wondering people what do you expect from a mobo to do?

DQ6 doesnt have that much droop, just a hair more than the P5K deluxe.

Would be nice to have though.

[michaLcoughliN]

well stats show p5k deluxe is just better overall. even with price.

the only benefits the gigabye has over asus is the cooling.. either way.. whatever you buy is going to turn out well in the long run.

Ide still recommend the asus p5kdeluxe. cant wait to save some xtra cash to buy one for the july price drops

[GazC]

Okay, I've searched everywhere!

Can anyone shed any light on the TRD Phase adjustment setting?

Also, there seems to be no TRFC adjustment in the Bios, or is it just under a different name?

yup, pretty much.

Both me and Pedro Rocha have already killed our p5k deluxes, hopefully these are isolated cases.


But you are right on the money, P5K deluxe is better cept for cooling... but both are very capable boards.

Here are some shots of my P35-DQ6.
Heatpipes galore.
Scythe Ninja fits
Thermalright Ultra-120 fits
Tuniq Tower ALMOST fits, fan hits heatpipe above northbridge, fits enough to get by

Is that a Ninja rev.B? Please post some pics with the Ninja.

[megatron]

I am at 375 x 8 2:3 ram 562Mhz.

Vcore 1.375v
Vdimm 1.95v

No other changes, what can I do to improve me fsb speed or is it just a e2160 fsb wall. I have a P35-dq6 and pc6400 ballistix.

[Neon Biker]

Drop your RAM to 1:1 or at least 4:5.

[Richard Dower]

I've given up...i changed memory, maxed out all voltages...i cannot get past 450FSB. It must be the CPU.

I test the fsb at 1:1 I only added the memory clock after I hit the cpu fsb wall.

Ive seen the odd few results which made me think their might be some magic combination to push it a bit further.

That last bios screen showing profiles in the bios, Ive not come across that! Im using the f3 bios that shipped with my P35-DQ6.

[fine]

Hit F11 in the bios to save and F12 to Load

I cannot get past 450FSB

The same here
450 ok
452 not stabel but can boot
454 oc fail kick in

P35-DQ6
Xeon 3060 multi x6 1.450V only 2700 mhz.( is good for 3400+ mhz )
Corsair XMS2 8500 Dominator run at 1-1 ~900 mhz 2.35volt 5-5-5-15 ( auto)

[irev210]

I just wanted to update with new E6550 results. Hitting FSB wall of ~570ish.


After using this board for awhile, it has really grown on me. Very pleased with it. Supports E6x50 series no problem, and O/C's them very well


I will have more photos and more results soon.

Any1 tried whether Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme can fit on this fabulous board without any clearance issue?

yes, fits fine. I have it on my P35-DQ6 right now

[irev210]

I would agree

I can hit 540+ on some of these new E6550 i am testing without a problem, then I hit CPU FSB wall, not related to the motherboard.


I can hit 550MHz FSB w/o increasing any mobo voltages at all! Rather impressive.

When i run tighter timings on the ram (4-4-4-5) i gotta bump up the vMCH

[reddevil0728]

yes, fits fine. I have it on my P35-DQ6 right now

So the extreme version with the extra heatpipes can fit confirm? very confirm? cause it is gonna be a heavy investment for me lol

possible for u to take a pic n show me. thanks

its ur TR running parrallel to the ram slots?

[road-runner]

I got my P35 DQ6 today, I have removed the heat pipe cooler and crazy cool getting it ready for some water.

It's quite a nice heat pipe cooler and works perfectly with watercooling and a bit of airflow. I've kept mine.

Yes, extreme fits fine.

yes, parallel to ram slots


why pic? It fits. No problems. It comes close, but fits.
