I wish i could get my CPU@ 3600 and mem@1240 5-5-5-15 that i had on the 2x1GB testrun to sort memory out on the 24/7 4x1GB setup i have, then 10000MB/s is close, a bit more OC and the 10000 is reality on memory dispite poor memoryperformace on DQ6 vs P35 board reviews.
But as of now 1100 or 1067 in reality is max without memoryerrors in 4x1GB setup and the MCH-voltage is at max where it needs to be to get the setup stable and memory has what it needs since that is on low 5-8-8-24.
Ad to that only good BIOS for my memory is the old F3 and sometimes low CPUclocking don´t start or is stable so i think that Gigabyte released their board to early or had the crappy chip that was recalled since the only BIOS is released is crap and Alpha more than Beta because of the strange things this board do for me on high FSB and Vista won´t even start on some settings since it says some file is missing or if it start can´t load some file but lower settings it works again.
So far Maximus seems to do better for 4x1 Micron memory OC vice, ad the loadlinething that works with 505 BIOS. As of now the DQ6 seems to be the looser for me and i jumped the gun for the first board.
Have read the Maximus thread and simular on other forums and it seems that the thing DQ6 lacks for my part is what ASUS sorted out on the Maximus. Could have bought 2x2GB memory but the only one i realy wanted is about 550-650€ and that is the 2x2GB Mushkin 8500 5-4-4-12. The OCZ PC9200 was only 420€ for 4GB and has WC-cooler to, thats 60€ more for the MIPS-WC ramblock to the Mushkin kit.
