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

Hornet331 You are wrong. It works on Gigabyte only till a certain frequecy, and now they implemented some tweaks in bios. Have to test them a little.
Asus upseted me big time with a stupid mobo, and still has vdrops also. On that mobo could not oveclock at all, and the memoryes I have now gave me lots of errors .
I'll wait to buy a quad, and test more the old mb and maybe RMA.

it dosent work if tested it several times. It makes no diffrence if i enable or disable LLC, i get the same vdroop. It dosent work at 3ghz (stock) nor at 3,6 or 4ghz.
Again, who cares about vdrop? It means jack if you set 1,34V and get 1,32V idel in windows....

Asus can deliver a working solution gigabyte not, period.

Got everything set and started OC'ing. Got it stable at 362x9 @ 1.45V with turbo on (had some memtest errors with ehanced on so I later turned that off). Memory at 2.66D with CPU-Z reporting 5-5-5-15 @2.1V. Passed memtest and got what I think is a decent score of 14,800 in 3DMark06 with a little OC to the 8800 GTS 512MB video card.

I did get 1 error during one of my benchmarks and feel it must be related to the video OC, since the system seemed pretty stable before I OC the video card. I have not increased the voltage to the PCI-E control. Does anyone here have a similar video card, OC'd? Would be curious what kind of voltage would be safe to add.

Thanks!

What's the highest FSB you fellows have seen with X38 on a 9x multi using a Q6600 G-0?

mine highest stable was 425x9 , but could get 445 x 9 but to pass prime took to much (volts and temps) . with an 8 i was able to pass with 475 . good luck and have a good new years
