Bios settings for 3DMark run

vcore 1.4875v = 1.456v windows
qpi 1.555v = 1.50v windows
ioh 1.26v = don't remember
dram 1.66v = don't remember

these same voltage settings don't work with DFI which is to be expexted on different boards. As eva has indicated, he needed a variance between vdimm and qpi/vtt for the system to be stable. I haven't found my varience yet and when I do its overvolting my ram.

I'm still learning the board and only eva has posted info on the board, so it's a bit early to judge it since we don't all that much just yet.

The Gigabyte boards our solid this time around I was told by a reliable source. But the DFI clocks better and I just have to figure some things out. Keep in mind my memory has only been out a couple of weeks and eva used some similar corsair but only two sticks and place more volts on the ram. My ram is rated 1.65v @ ddr3-1866(933Mhz) he was using 1.8v+ which to me is overvolting my ram.
