I agree with you Lightman. The only workaround I could think of would be to run the Sam2008 Tweaker in the Windows INI file and hope that it sets the voltage before Windows gets to the point of locking up....

On the down side, I haven't seen a whole lot of improvement in IMC speeds by raising the voltage (the highest I've gone is 1.312 though). It still seems to hit a wall around 1950mhz, and I know the chip was stable at 2Ghz on the MSI K9A2, so the board may actually have a lower limit (DS5 not DQ6).

Sorry Aussie, I was hoping for better too... Not done playing yet though.

On the bright side, I could lower the IMC all the way down to 1.125 and still keep it at 1950mhz, so I'm sure that would help chip life and temps. Ofcourse theres still the question of running high Memory V's with low IMC v's, forunately my memory will go all the way up to DDR2/1000 on only 2.0volts.

Heres a full SS, if they try to tell you the hardware is incapable of changing the NB/IMC settings.



BTW: XP32 was hassling me to do the WGA thing, so I switched to Vista32..

Oh yeah, F4 final BIOS is now up on Gigabyte's site for the DS5 too.
