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

[2DIFF]

Does anybody here use a X38-DS5? I feel like I'm the only one
So far I managed to do 400x9 stable with Q6600, but the Vdroop is horrible - 1.425 in bios = 1.34 V with DMM 425x8 is stable, but 410x9 is not, no matter what votage - it looks like this board's PWM is too weak for high clocking quads.

No, you're not the only one, but mine is out of order at the moment (see http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ostcount=1415). I see "stock heatcrapipes" in your sig - damn right you are, the thing is really trashy for a board at this price. I couldn't OC at all before replacing it. The board never really convinced me entirely. Don't know how many times I had to reset the CMOS. Didn't have the chance to test the F5 Bios though - are you using it? What RAM exactly did you put in? Did you ever play with "Clock skew control", the thing nobody knows what it is and what it does? Have you tried active NB cooling? Man, all these questions...finally somebody with a DS5
