What DS4/DQ6 voltage settings

Massive Attack · 7 Oct 2006 at 01:31

ok guys im getting a DQ6 on monday which i have already ordered and just wanted to know what voltages everyone was using on the MCH, FSB etc etc, i will be aiming to get 3ghz out of my E6300 so any other advice would be good.

cheers

Look here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17636047

Set the MCH & FSB to +0.1v

Set your Geil ram to +0.3v for up to 800mhz and +0.4v for higher.

Don't forget with that board you need to press Ctrl+F1 in the main bios screen to access the advanced functions.

Also don't forget to disable EIST and the other crap before attempting to clock.

Other things I would do is:
1. download and flash to the latest bios version (F5 currently, the board will most likely come equipped with F2 bios).
2. Download & Install latest chipset drivers.
3. Download & install updated Marvell Yukon drivers (otherwise after a week or so you may find that you lose your LAN port)

thanks m8 going to set everything up on tuesday when i get it

Thanks for the information too. I just build my new system the other day/night and was checking up further no information.

It's kinda crappy Gigabyte doesn't just say what voltage something will run, but instead use a +.3v or something.
Same thing for the health monitor. No decent voltage monitors.

None at the moment.
Gonna do it after I Windows installed properly.
So should be today after I get some sleep.

I didn't even notice your name untill now.
How's the DQ6 for you so far?
I have run Vista RC1 latest and RC2 so far. Both install very nicely, and run very nice too at stock speeds. Had a 5 on the performance monitor. 5.9 on the drives

WDC 1600YD in RAID0.

Hi monstermunch...

Could you link me to these drivers ?

Ive only found the same ones on th GB website as they are on the CD ... and from the intel site, the driver deosnt seem to install :s (im on a DS3 btw)

prism · 9 Oct 2006 at 04:03

I think this is what he means: http://marvell.com/drivers/driverDisplay.do?dId=116&pId=3

It's the link too the Windows XP 32Bit driver.
Using it myself on the DQ6 atm.

Aah ok, get you now.
It was kinda late/early when I posted that answer/question.

prism · 9 Oct 2006 at 20:28

I got it running at 3.2GHZ now. Default VCore and only the adjustments posted earlier in this thread.
Max load temp is around 40C.

Here's the Bios settings on my DS4 with an e6300

What memory are you using? 990MHz is a lot?

lol - Sorry - My sig is not upto date...

I'm using the G-Skill 6400HZ.

So your 800MHz memory is running 190MHz above specifications?
Very impressive.

Last night I took my CPU up higher. Which wasn't a succcess,
I set the FSB from 400MHz to 450MHz, and the VCore too 1.300V.
It now boots with a bunch of beebs, and resets after a 2 seconds.

It was too late too reset the CMOS, so I will do that tonight and bump the VCore up to the 1.475V as mentioned in the opening post. Maybe that works.

Massive Attack · 10 Oct 2006 at 21:40

Well i got my DQ6

and i am absoloutly blown away this board is the best i have ever seen, i was half expecting it not to boot first time due to my ram but it did, i am so happy with it, i would recomend it to anyone thinking of going down the core 2 duo route

You should be up'ing the FSB - 5 or 10Mhz at a time and stress testing at each setting really... So if and when it fails or crashes - you know what you last changed etc...
