Gigabyte X48T DQ6 Living Review

[bituser]

Hi bituser,
Welcome to the forum

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

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) ??

Yes, it's a typo. It's 333Mhz.

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 ??

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

Yes, that's the kit I have, but when I set 7-7-7-24, I get 7-6-6-24 in CPU-Z :S

I'd get Memtest86+ v2.00 And test your memory, preferably overnight.

I've already done that. No errors.

Do you use active cooling ??

Yes, I use water cooling.

Yes, I use water cooling.

On your memory ??
Make sure you have the upto date CPU-Z and or check timings using uker apps such as memset, sandra or everest.

I've already done that. No errors.

how long did you test??

[PaPa SuMrF]

i bet it's that OCZ memory, they are really starting to put out some real

as in your other review the OCZ memory would not even post with 2x2 sticks.

I've also posted on their forums:

OCZ3P16004GK 2x2GB + X48T-DQ6 - OCZ Forum

It must be what PaPa SuMrF said.

Anyway, I am done with it.

CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

Cas Latency 7

Well maybe they'll come up with something to help in your thread there. I had high hopes with a set of OCZ DDR3 PC3-16000 Platinum Enhanced Bandwidth Edition but was very disappointed especially with post#6 So I'm not that impressed with OCZ.

Ace rated the G-skill 4gb 1600 he used here
Official Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 Info Thread
think he's currently got them for sale , not sure Either way got much better performance that your OCZ has managed so far.


luck

Strange.. I downloaded this one and it is identical to the (7/21) F5 BIOS on Gigabyte's web site (md5sum is the same for both files). I thought someone had problems with that BIOS...
