tnx but i don't have the case

[cliffy]

I still stuck at the 450 FSB wall and i cant seem to better it, i know i can squeeze some more out the RAM so i am wondering if i am having trouble because of my graphics card, i am using an 7900GT any one have any ideas

[charlatanefc]

Thanks for the link Soki. Just flashed my DS4 with that latest BIOS, am now stable at 400fsb (2.8ghz), but still having this problem I've mentioned in it's own thread as only putting my 7800GTX into PCI Express 1x mode

Any new beta bios?

[chrisf6969]

So do the new (F4 - beta) BIOSes fixes the Cas3 problem?

Was it that the old BIOS always forced Cas 3 ? or was it just CPU-Z misreporting?

Obviously, I've tried the Ctrl+F1 trick to manually set it.
Cas 3-5 always shows up in CPU-Z as Cas 3.
Cas 6 makes the computer go in to a reboot loop, that requires a Clear CMOS!

If so I think thats what may be limiting my overclock, right now. (I've got some cheap DDR667 that doesn't go very high at Cas3)

well one of the guys here is using some ocz GTX 6400 stuff at 1024mhz i think he said might be slightly higher so i guess the issue now comes down to ram or mobo.

Ken if you get the opportunity and can test other ram that can handle 1000mhz please do so.
i truly would hate to think that this ram i got is crap. but it wouldnt be the first time i got crappy ram that was high end stuff. just the bad luck of the batch i guess.

The new 3d bios for DS4 improved my oc, solved my graphics card problem. So for those of you with DS4, go get the new bios quick.

[charlatanefc]

RonTheMan what was the graphic card problem you were having?

[aldamon]

The way F4e handles errors on a cold boot is terrible. Apparently my system doesn't like the settings on a cold boot so it's automatically resetting everything to stock. The problem? After it does this, my system boots so fast at 1.86 GHz that I get into Windows before my 21" CRT wakes up. LOL. So I have to reboot and re-enable my overclock. F4a didn't do this crap on a cold boot. It game me some random message about HDD failure and I hit reset and was on my way at the overclocked speeds. I'm going back to F4a. I don't want everything resetting on me every time. If there is an error, I'd like the boot to stop on the error and give me a chance to warm reset on my own or enter the BIOS to clear up the error. Automation is annoying.

DS3:

F4c didn't fix my CAS 3 problem... does anything?

edit: F4e fixed it

[soki]

Gigabyte please fix the vcore bug in DS4 http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=111166

With the F2 Bios on the DQ6 it seems to depend on the memory multiplier, if the cas setting is ignored or not.
fsb 266 / dram 533: always CL3
fsb 266 / dram 667: CL3, CL4, CL5 as in bios
fsb 266 / dram 709: always CL3
fsb 266 / dram 800: always CL3
fsb 266 / dram 889: no boot

would like to try the latest F3 bios, but no floppy atm and winflash says file size doesn't match (md5 sum is correct).

fsb 266 / dram 533: allways CL3
fsb 266 / dram 667: CL3, CL4, CL5 as in bios
fsb 266 / dram 709: allways CL3
fsb 266 / dram 800: allways CL3

Where did you get the F4 bios for the DQ6?

Thanks,

Mel

sry for the typo.
i have a ds4 too and got confused with the numbers.

edit: the ds4 is also at f2 final and f3 beta, argh; i'll better get some sleep, testing the whole day ...

[AcUaViVa]

mmmm

when you hare in MAIN BIOS SCREEN ( blue )

push CONTROL + F1

you can change ALL of MEM seetings and more OC seetings

see you

[irenic]

with my new DQ6, i cant oc when my x1900xtx is at 1st pci e slot, and when i change to the 2nd slot, i managed to log into windows @ 380x9, but no prime bcoz the temp was 72C idle (coretemp)

[kiwi]

DS3 F4e works, no oc increase so far but it still has TRP and tras issues. Trp = 2 in bios, 3 in windows, tras <8 in bios but 9 in Win.

[irenic]

with the latest beta bios for dq6 (f3g), the ram setting is fixed!whatever number i set in bios will show the same in windows..

[pumero]

nice
it's good to see that ga is doing something.

the f2 bios is strange, sometimes the cl timing is right and sometimes not.
time to look for a floppy.

[AcUaViVa]

F3G for DQ6 ? can you upload it plase?

thanks

I flashed my bios to F2 with no problem, but then I just flashed my BIOS to F3E using the @bios utility and now the system cycles power over and over until I turn it off at the PSU. I have reset the bios according to the manual by removing the CMOS battery for a couple minutes. No help. Any ideas before I return the board?

Thanks

[RonTheMan]

RonTheMan what was the graphic card problem you were having?

All other bios prior to 3d would not allow any oc if my 7600GST was installed, not even 1mhz. Now it works.
