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

My X38-DQ6 is going back to the etailer I bought it from. Nice 15% restock fingering, but worth it IMO.

here is some info on the 600+ Mhz FSB benching on the X38-DQ6

I plan to test the same on X38T-DQ6 shortly

for me F3 bios is rock solid I will try to do some testing with F5/F6 based ones as well to test my requests

I bought at NCIX. I was surprised they let me return it. I set up a refund RMA and decided to keep it and wait for a good BIOS that never came. Missed my 15 day return window. I re-emailed them and asked if I could still return it. The agreed too the return with a 15% restock fee that I gladly accepted

Now just have to figure out what to get now. I dont really want to wait for the DFI X38, so I might get the P35 T2R. I would love to get the Transpiper free "LT" edition but I cannot find any in Canada.

Still thinking on it.

My first x38-dq6 did the constant on/off thing and resetting the bios or changing the battery did'nt fix it, so I rma'd it.
I just got my replacement from newegg and It boots, but the bios hangs after the initial bootup screen. The classic never ending blinking cursor. I don't think I'm going to buy anything from gigacrap again. This is ridiculous.

Hi turtletrax,
DFI X38 is now listed on MotherboardPro.com,should soon be in Canada.
Might be worth the wait?

The estimated release is the 28th if I remember correctly. Problem is I dont think I want much to do with X38. Looks like it is not worth it for DDR2 users and I refuse to spend the money they want for DDR3 with DDR2 prices the way they are. I also need to run 4GB, so that puts DDR3 even further away.

I also doubt that by thr time I need PCI-E 2.0 it will either already have another rev, or I will have a completely different system. That with terrible BIOS support across the board and DFI's ability to miss targets P35 sounds pretty good to me.

Where I really went wrong was I had a Evga 680i that actually worked and could run my Q6600 at 4ghz prime stable and I sold it to get the Gigalol X38. What a mistake...

i also got it from ncix one of the few that give 30 days
a 40$ hit is worth it to get a refund
i bet if you wait a bit the dfi p35 will be cheaper lol
