Official Gigabyte X48/X48T-DQ6 bios+info thread

[BenchZowner]

my max OC with QX9650 is only 460MHz FSB ... and very bad RAM timings ... on Asus Maximus Extreme i can use CL7 at 1800MHz, on this Giga board is stable 1800MHz only at CL9!

My X48T-DQ6 sample did very good, especially in memory overclocking.
Amazingly it surpassed my best shots taken with my "lucky - great MCH" P5K3 Deluxe.

p.s. Review link ( click me )

No kidding! Try updating the BIOS on the Gigabyte X38T and see what happens. You get the reboot of death!

And unless I'm reading the box right pairing the X48 chipset with DDR2 is the most retarded thing ever done. They might as well throw an AGP slot on it.

That's a specific BIOS version issue.
They had a similar "death version" BIOS release for the X48T-DQ6 as well

It happens though...not only with Gigabyte

I got a Gigabyte, not just THIS one in perticular... but almost every gigabyte gas this backplate, and i can by NO MEANS mount a backplate on this, and i CANT remove it either couse then the NB cooling wont sit tight... maybe u can put a nut there? wth i didnt care about that and mounted the bolts to my block with some paper washers, i've allways used backplate but not this time...havent noticed any crashes couse of this... well well....

dont like gigabyte

I don't know about their older models, but there are two bolts within the package to secure the NorthBridge cooler without using the Crazy Cool backplate.
