Official Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 Info Thread

hi Ace-a-Rue

i looked through the bios settings you suggested there

i would advice again
Performance Enhance…..Standard

it really selects loose timings and it pretty slow
you should use Turbo instead as it normally doesn't affect stability all that much and it much faster performance wise....
Extreme setting can also be used but this setting can cause instability as it really tightens MCH timings really tight

i also found XMP profile unstable during X38 testing
i would manually set timins and speeds and ratio

i believe he wrote standard out as the setting used and i tried it without any problem...i think it is his memory since i have the exact same kind of memory as he...i was able to run in "Profile 1" with the red settings as the only changes and then run Prime 95 with no problem at all...i kind of suspect that he has a bad stick or two.

yeah probably just faulty RAM if they cannot run factory timings and speed

G.Skill usually make good RAM so just get an RMA done Cronos and be done with it i guess

Gigabyte can be a bit finnicky with their bioses............. and also try raising volts on the NB to +0.3 and bump RAM volts to see what happens

i was testing a rig a couple of days ago and the CPU i had was stable at 350MHz FSB (Celeron 460) on 1:2 RAM RATIO so i tested with 5-5-5-18 1T and did some 32M Superpi runs....i had to have the MCH volts at +0.3 or more can't recall and had to have RAM around 2.05v......

the strangest thing was that i could not bring the volts down and loosen the latecies to say 6-6-6-x or 7-7-7-x and get stability

but the board i have is not a normal production board so probably some weird ass going on with my board

i should have an X48T-DQ6 soon so gotta do those tests..........
