Gigabyte DS4 f3official bios update..

well on a citilink van on its way to me is this mobo and
1 - GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit

lets hope it works :(
 
Gigatryte just sent me the new BIOS in reply to a support request I sent regarding the G.skill NR PC2-6400 that I returned to OcUK last week. Luckily I took delivery of some Geil Ultra PC2-6400 today and that is working fine :)

Judging by peoples postings here it seems I may be best not flashing the update!

OK - F3 final BIOS.

I'm running my E6600 now @ 3.2Ghz (356Mhz FSB)
I'm running with 4GB RAM (4x 1GB Geil PC6400)
Memory settings as follows:

Frequency: 356Mhz
FSB : DRAM: 1:1
4-4-4-12

Machine so far (been on and under load/being used for nearly an hour now) is 100% stable.
I was always told that a 1:1 memory ratio is what to aim for with regards Intel setup's.
Is there not a great deal to be gained from going 4:5?
I did try and ramp the memory a little higher using 4:5 and it didn't seem as happy.

Left my machine running Seti@Home (Boinc) and 3DMark2006 all night.
Woke up this morning and pleased to see the machine was still running all applications so this is definitely 100% stable.
Extremely pleased with my DS4 purchase.
Worked fine out of the box with my Crucial memory and is now working fine with the Geil RAM I received yesterday.

A relatively mild overclock compared to many E6600 @ 3.2Ghz Memory 1 : 1
This is now my third Gigabyte motherboard in a row and again they have shown themselves to be quality, really pleased I went for this board over the other choices out there.

Oh sorry - thought we were regressing back to being 5 year olds in the playground.

would you recommend i get that geil ram and sell my current ram or wait for a next bios release? It seems to be stable at stock with one stick in. If i put the other in it sometimes refuses to boot.
 
My DS3 comes tomoz, E6300 arrives on thursday, and I've got 2 x 1gig Geil 6400 memory already. I would appreciate a small ( or large ;) ) list of mobo settings to get me 3ghz, y'know the options to disable/enable in the bios first so I can then start clocking with miniimal probs. Thanks.

pieman, you got msn? esier to explain there. but my E6300 is at least 10 hours prime stable and average S&M stable.
 
Pleased to say that the new BIOS that Gigabyte sent me has sorted out my overclocking problems.

Not sure if this is the same as the download - its marked as F3d

The F3 DS4 Bios has solved every one of my problems. Don't need any extra voltage anywhere, am running at just over 3ghz at 429fsb, totally rock solid. Will probably do a lot more, but this will more than do for now :D

Mine is now running like a dream, well impressed!
