Was thinking similar the other day. especially after seeing this m13os86 post#557

see above

ya, i tried the "7/21/08" f5, downloaded from Giga-Byte's American server. Did NOT work for me... After 2 failed flash attempts, I was beginning to wonder if i still knew how! But i have flashed to f5d and that's what im running now.

i ran upon a listing for a ga-48t-dq6 F6 bios release, but it seems the link was removed and now points to the dreaded F5 MB KILLER

Station-Drivers: le site de drivers, bios, firmwares, ect...

Didn't leave a link , like you I guess , for obvious reasons

This all makes me curious what bios will be on my board when it is returned from rma.

Hi bituser,
Welcome to the forum

Might be a typo or me being stupid but, I'm confused by :-

Quote:

CPU Host Clock Control............: Disable
CPU Host Frequency(Mhz)...........: 1,333Mhz

CPU Host Clock Control............: Disable means your leaving the fsb on auto which is 333.33 not quad pumped 1.333Mhz which you show for CPU Host Frequency(Mhz) ??

This is your ram ??
OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum Edition OCZ3P16004GK
I'd try Memory multiplier of 4.00B to see if it's any better.
Why are you at ??

Quote:

CAS Latency Time (tCL)............: 8
DRAM RAS# to CAS# (tRCD).........: 8
DRAM RAS# Precharge (tRP).........: 8
Precharge Delay (tRAS)............: 24

Aren't those rated at 7-7-7-24 ?? have you tried with 7s ??

I'd get Memtest86+ v2.00 And test your memory, preferably overnight. Do you use active cooling ??. If you get errors try OCZ memory Support

Let us know how it goes

Have you tried testing with memtest
