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

[Anruce]

Crucial. I've had Ballistix in my setup and i even had to RMA the board because it was completely dead. The thing is that i had exactly those sticks running on a 965-ds3 and they were completely ok, even with this board they memtested OK. Are my problems maybe still connected with the memory? (in the end it didn't even boot with a standard 512 mb mdt 667 stick, but hey at this time it was dead already.. )

For me, the conclusion was clear (and according to the tests done by the technician at my local store's tech department) that it was an incompatibility issue, and not an actual faulty memory kit. They worked fine on an ABIT motherboard, but the X38-DQ6 just don't like them (by the way I tried with BIOS F4, F6b, F7 and F8c, usually I never update a BIOS unless something is very wrong, and I updated three times because I thought that it might have been the BIOS itself which did not recognized the memory properly, but apparently it's not a BIOS problem).

And, after all, the actual Crucial brand itself isn't listed at all on the Gigabyte's official memory support list for the GA-X38-DQ6, it's not surprising (or, in fact, it is surprising, depending on how you see it) that it didn't worked properly. Now I'm with OCZ and, oh... it all magically works fine and everything it stable, I wouldn't call that a coincidence.

Another with Crucial Ballistix PC6400 4gb!! and don´t work fine with the DQ6.


What kit 2x2Gb pc6400 CL4 work´s 100% fine with this board?

Maybe G.Skill F2-6400CL4D-4GBPK or OCZ2T800C44GK, XTC Titanium?

Thx
