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

WTH?! Are you sure about that?

Then how will I be able to get NB temps?

plain and simple:

its not possible to read it out with software.


you can masure it with a ir/laser temperature gun or attach a sensor to the heatsink, but both methods will not give you a 100% accurate temp, but they get really close.

So, no onboard sensors that can be read with software? Is this something exclusive to Gigabyte boards?

Just received a EX38-DQ6. Not sure what the difference is between the EX38 and the X38. Anyone know?

Hornet331, thank you for the information. I was under the wrong impression that first temp measurement was for northbridge.

I have no fans in my system. I have not experienced any instability so far at 3.2 GHz 8x400 and I have done extensive stress testing for days. I havent paid much attention to nb since its temps seemed normal under heavy stress testing. Apparently I had no idea.

I have only 1.35v, +0.25v DDR2, +0.05 gMCH. I have not set any voltages for FSB.

I wonder what is happenning to my northbridge. When do you think this is going to explode?

I was going to get Asus Maximus but it was not available then. I wish I had waited.
