DQ6

Any one else got this yet?

I picked it up...I seem to be hitting a wall at 392 fsb

currently w/ e6600 now 9x392 = 3.5 ghz (stable)

DQ6 currently doesn't overclock as well as the DS3. I'm sure it will with new drivers... but it'll be a while before you see said drivers. They're putting all their energies into the DS3 boards because they know the DS3 is their meal ticket.

how can the ds3 be better than the dq6, when the dq6 has a much better northbridge cooler.

that means absolute crap...
thats like saying: my s478 2.8C chip should be so much better than a conroe chip because the conroe has a stock cooler, and my 2.8C has a cathar G7 storm waterblock on it

cooling isnt everything, tho it is alot, but the cooling on the NB nowadays is mostly for show

Hahaha! EVERYTHING on the DQ6 is mainly for show. Those 12 pipes you see aren't even real! LOL...

Trust me... you're much better off with a DS3. You'd save some money, too. Besides that quad SLI thing they made a while back I don't think Gigabyte has made a real deluxe motherboard in YEARS... if it ever has.

I got the dq6 mainly because its kentfield ready btw

Oh well, guess I'll just be waiting for bios updates. I was just really hoping for more from this mobo, as ive seen guys on other forums getting 480fsb out of it.

i believe that every conroe board is kentsfield ready witha bios update, or am i wrong there, i thought i read it somewhere

Pretty sure you need an extra 4 pin cpu connector on the motherboard

I just wanted to add that with the new beta bios f5d, I am no longer limited to 392 fsb! woot woot!

You have the same system as me, almost..

Thanks any help i would love
you can see my signature there is the system i have.

Only thing I noticed is the memory multiplier, I have mine set to 2.0

I have this board in right now as a back up till I get the one I really want, havnt oc'd yet cuz I am on stock cooler, but it feels pretty much the same as the p5b deluxe at stock.

thanks ive gone back to standard, as i simply cant get the system ro boot after shotdown if its OC. i can reboot fine, but if i take power, i have to go in and set default, reboot and then go back and set OC, then it runs fine untill i take power.

i had it whit this board dont buy it, its no good, to many problems

thanks all
