so i changed over to X38-DQ6 from DS3P on my Single Stage setup and thought i might as well flash to latest bios
so from F3 to F4

my conclusion is DO NOT USE F4 bios if you have this board!!!!!!!!!!!!

F4 is ****ed i could not go past 445Mhz FSB no matter what and even that wasn't too crash hot stability wise >> i've spent a good 2.5 hours trying to figure it all out and since i have a fair bit of experience from the last few months of testing with Gigabyte boards i was a bit surprised that i could not figure out WTF was going on

after trying to figure it all out i decided to flash back to F3 bios

and now all is fine



DO NOT FLASH TO F4!!!

it's a shame because F4 has some excellent voltage and RAM strap change options
