Wow, so there's an 'E' version of the X38-DQ6. Didn't noticed that. I guess there isn't a way to swap my non-E version with an E version?

Kinda feel stupid buying it to 'quick'.

The E series seems to have broken out like a rash everywhere see Intel X38 the only chipset untouched seems to be the X48. Not sure of it's significance, E=Energy efficient ? , will ask

The new 'E' versions have DES. X48 has this anyway.. Guess X38 needed some modifications to get DES working..

list of supported boards for DES..

Oh right , that makes sense, musat be honest i tried it quicly with the EP45 Extreme, but uninstalled it & haven't tried it since, but yes if your buying new , might as well have it. Wonder why they've done it with X38 but not X48 as the chipsets are very similar?

Thank you for the brilliant guide

I've managed finally to get my Q6600 to a decent overclock on my GA-EX38-DS4

Nice one

Thanks.

So you going to share

what did you get to

Stable 3.3Ghz , but 3.4Ghz needs more V's

I'm having to put 1.425v into the board to get 1.38v on the CPU

has anyone tried using DDR2 1200 (PC2 9600) with this board?

I was thinking of getting the G.Skill Pi Series RAM, but I haven't seen any talk from users regarding this ram with x38 board.

Hi lokeey,
Crikey their dear a tri pack 3x2gb Type[240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM ],Speed[DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) ],Capacity[6GB (3 x 2GB) is around the same price. They should go ok though , but think i'd look around for something a little cheaper myself.

Let us know if you decide to take the plunge, be nice to see how those run

cool! thanks shanks...but i didn't think that DDR3 would work with this board unless you had the x38T-DQ6
