help me OC QX6750 & GA X83-DQ6

[quattro]

hello guys,
i need help with the DQ6 bios im not familiar at all with it, i searched this forum for clues but every time i star to understand things i get mixed up again .
i know my way around Nvidia board and i have decent knowledge about overclocking ,but i can't seem to understand the DQ6 bios ,especially the FSB voltage and FSB ratio.

my setup :
DQ6 with F7 bios
QX6850
2gb ddr2 PC2-8500 corsair DOMINATOR
EVGA 8800GT

If you can start by adding all of your system specs to your profile "extra options", and then grab a BIOS template from here, that will help us to get you up and running.

Also have a look at supershanks's DQ6 blog/review thread, there should be some settings listed that should be a goog starting point for you

check out supershanks guide. it's a great guide and just about everyone has posted positive feedback that he's provided. i've had success using his guide(ance) even.

You need to set your main RAM timings manually, to whatever they are supposed to run at.

Standard Timing Control
CAS Latency Time: : 5 AUTO
DRAM RAS# to CAS# : 7 AUTO
DRAM RAS# Precharge : 7 AUTO
Precharge Delay(tRAS) : 24 AUTO

You need to also set the RAM voltage to whatever they are supposed to run at.

I also notice that you have the RAM set to 1066. While you are getting the hang of overclocking, you need to set it to the lowest it will go (1:1).

And then nip over to the DQ6 thread

[quattro]

good enough but how can i change fsp & ram voltages when i don't know what is the value now and the only thing showing in the bios is +0.10 +0.20 etc.
for the cpu voltage its clearer the rest is not .

[Clunk]

Have a look on the stickers on the RAM, or check the manufacturers website to get the timings and voltages.

It's been a while since I played with a Gigabyte board, but, the default is 1.8v, so if you were to set it to +0.20, that would give you 2.0v etc

[quattro]

thanks Clunk and what about the FSB lets say i crack it up to 400 how much to raise the voltage and what is the default value ?

[Clunk]

Rule of thumb, is raise the FSB in small increments, then test, if it's not stable, you can either back off a bit, or add a touch of voltage, then test again.

But grab the settings from supershanks's thread and use them as a starting point and go up from there, that way you have a solid base to start from.
