Gigabyte X48T DQ6 Living Review

Vcore of 2.8

I hope that's a typo
0.1~0.15v FSB are about right, you shouldn't need more than +0.15v
you can go higher on MCH Stock is 1.25v so +0.50 is not excessive.

Yeah, 2.8 was a typo. Was in a rush when I was typing. Cheers for the advise Should I need to play with the GTL Refs to keep the Q9450 Stable at 450FSB on this board?

are sure you are using a vcore of 2.8????...that voltage would kill a cpu.

[zeerax]

Vcore is 1.28V lol, made a mistake when typing earlier.

yes I would try -3 on both as a start point.

Supershanks, can you comment my #727 Post?

tks

I had a set of that ram , which was quiet disappointing performance wise Clunk, found the same. I saught help here Timing issues 2GB OCZ DDR3 PC3-16000 2000MHz Platinum EB Enhanced goes ok at 1800~1900 but nowt startling.

This thread is also interesting OCZ3P2000EB2GK issue

I read that with 1.9v i´m invalidating warranty.

as you can see from the last thread particularly , you won't have an issue invalidaying your warranty with 1.90v so try +0.35~+0.40v with some of the timings shown in the 1st link

let us know how it goes

I still can´t get 450FSB (even if i go up with vcore up 1.3875V), but i get 445 FSB stable with this settings

This for me is enough!

tks for yor help.

[supershanks]

This for me is enough!

That's fine then but it's a good way below the rated specs , which is disappointing, but not unknown for this ram. I think I'd be inclined to take OCZ's own recommendation from the link I gave & run with +0.50v overvolt (1.90v). , but it's still good for 24/7 & gives you no concerns.

luck

Hi,

I was wondering how well does the GigaByte X48T-DQ6 compare to the Asus P5E3 Premium/WiFi-AP @n in terms of overclocking using OCZ memory?

thanks
