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

[Richard Dower]

I flashed to F9c which is dated May 25th 2008...the layout of the bios has changed. M.I.T. is now the very first item in the menu (like what will happen with P45 based bios), inside the layout has changed slightly, i don't think any new options were added...just various voltage settings are grouped together different. The "CPU Fine Clock" option is totally greyed out now and cannot be changed.

I had major issues overclocking and O/C settings being accepted, even now while i'm in Windows i have two serious issues, the Performance Level is set to 8 according to Everest (latest build) even though 6 is set in bios (on Auto), and my CPU multi is locked at 6x when in bios i have i set to the standard 8x....so basically this is a botched bios.

[edit] know what, the problem could very well be with Everest 4.50.1383, because when i stress the CPU with Prime95 and OCCT CPU-Z shows me 3400MHz and an 8x multi. Tread Phase Adjust in bios was set on auto to "6", when i manually set it to 7 and checked Everest it was 7.

Gonna have to do more testing.
