Official GIGABYTE X38-DQ6/X38T-DQ6 Info/BIOS Thread

[Alcibiades]

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.

Hi E.R.
Sorry to hear that 4GB of OCZ 9200FLEX isn't up to speed yet on X38
I have same cpu/mobo/ram/heatsink combo but only 2GB on Vista Ultimate.

If you haven't already, check this link in relation to 4GB 9200flex on a DFI p35

I have hit 1224Mhz 24/7 stable with my 2GB and try not to stress my CPU so I keep it at an easy 3666Mhz

Thanks for the tip, will try that. Would really like to keep this board and start the wc-projekt but until i sorted out the DQ6 vs Maximus when use 4x1GB i cant do anything.

I´m give up on my DQ6 now, cant get it over 400FSB, i have just ordered the Asus p5e3 deluxe, hope it will go better.

I had to crank FSB voltages and MCH voltages to get 400FSB stable. My 680i Q6600 combo was a breeze to 4Ghz stable. This thing is like pulling teeth...
