Who says Allendales have no headroom?

EX38-DQ6 F3 BIOS

This board likes a LOT of juice on the MCH!

^ Hey Opty,

Is this from that EX48-DQ6 board that had the sticker for EX38-DQ6 on it ?????

 

[Woomack]

nice one
I thought I had results on this CPU but looks like I've never benched it... and I'm sure I have it somewhere in the boxes. I guess it's because most my 775 boards died or were not worth the time for benching.

Yup.

I'm sorry.... I had I thought when I first asked but did not follow through with it.
The Gigabyte Web Site lists the EX38-DQ6 and the EX48-DQ6 with the same spec's. It also lists them both as having "Quad BIOS".
You can try and Update/Flash the BIOS to the EX48-DQ6. This should work unless the board does have a EX38 Chipset. From reading - they both have the same features and also the latest BIOS released on 04-24-2009. You could pull the H/S off and see which chipset you have, but from reading - both boards are the same.

That's what I found as well. I just wanted some confirmation I wasn't trippin'. I know there would be no real performance gain but I'm thinking I might get a stronger FSB. Heck it's worth a try I have a programmer and SOIP8 clip in case it's a total fail.

Woomack I was bidding on a nice P5K-E but decided to let it go favor of a sweet deal on a Z170-HD3P.
