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

[jonny_ftm]

I'm stuck at +/- 380Mhz FSB on a QX6850 and the X38T-DQ6 version... reading this post I think I sould try another bios different from the F4a that i'm currently using. Will update the info later...

The Qx should be no problem. Fix the FSB at 266MHz, and increase the CPU multiplier. You'll be only left with vcore and PLL voltage to adjust. You can forget all the rest, your NB will be stock and the RAM too, so you can get your stable vcore/PLL combo for the speed you like.

After that, increase the FSB and decrease multiplier till you reach the speed you got in step 1

Now, you can tweak vFSBT, vNB, vSB, vDDR, timings, memory dividers...

Buying a QX to stuck at 380MHz is a total waste

OCCT 1.1.1a has a bug under Vista in RAM test.

There is a new version (1.1.1b) that works perfectly under Vista but it tests only 256M of RAM per core

"Update" from f4a to f3g, looks like it went well...



All Auto (just Strap @ 333).

B has a problem with vista 64 as well.
