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

Are you having getting your Q6600 to 500FSB? It is tricky but I got it there months ago on my P5K Deluxe and now testing on my ASUS x38 in sig.

Wow! 500fsb on Q6600 is Nuckin_Futs!!!
Getting close to 100% overclock from 266FSB to 500 (4x266=1066fsb quad)
Much easier to hit 500fsb on a 333FSB based quad (1333fsb quad)
The wall for most 266fsb quads is around 470, but still many have hit 500+ so maybe I'm missing something.

for mine at 1.480v I have to use PLL: 1.632~1.648v , FSBT: 1.488~1.504v, GTL_Ref of .63x on CPU and 63x on CPU.

Anyone know how to translate that into X38-DQ6 terms speak now.

As for the trfc you reported of 31, is that default of you set? Have you tried 45~50? For me it allowed me to run at much less vdimm of 1.72 to now 1.22v for same 1165MHz on a 5:6.

Default tRFC is 36, dropping to 31 gives good performance gains in everest benchmarks.

One thing I haven't been able to do on this board is run my ram at 4-4-4 latencies, even at standard relaxed settings @ 800mhz! which should do 3-3-3's easy.
