Receive new Gigabyte motherboard, GA-X48T-DQ6 with Intel QX9770 ES.

Some picture

Gigabyte using Ultra Durable2 Components, including All Low ESR Solid Capacitor made in Japan, Ferrite Core and Low (RDS) ON Mosfet. Also PWM design still Virtual 12 phase like all DQ6 series from Gigabyte.

GA-X48T-DQ6 supports up to DDR3-1900 MHz with Intel XMP (Extreme Memory Performance),and Native FSB 1600 CPU. Gigabyte start to implement 2 power phase for Northbridge and Memory, this kind of technology provide more clean and pure supply power both for chipset and memory modules. Another feature implemented is DES (Dynamic Enery Saver), this feature helps you to reduce the PC power consumption by utilize the 12 phase PWM module.

You can experience with a lot of tweaking option, starting from CL, TRCD, TRP, and subtimings.











3 option above used for tuning the CPU, especially Quad Core CPU.





Very extreme voltage memory option !!!. You can juice your DDR3 up to 3.05 volt !!! Beware using this option or you DDR3 will die easily





Do you think this option only for PCI-E volt ?? And then you are wrong. This feature also related to CPU PLL and SB Volt, as we know CPU PLL impact very significant to reach more and more FSB and offcourse related to CPU total clock. Use this option to reach higher CPU clock





Combined with PCI-E Overvoltage, FSB Overvoltage gives you more stability when operated in high clock.





MCH Overvoltage or Northbridge overvoltae available up to 1.975 !!! this is damn crazy for sure...





And offcourse GPU GTL Calibration for fine tuning CPU, especially quad core CPU

Loadline Calibration functioning to decrease vdroop, but in my testing this option not functioning at all.





Up to 2.3 volt but sadly the increment is too big after 1.6 volt. Be carefull with this option.





For test, i use this hardwares :

* Processor Intel Core2 Quad Xtreme X9770 Engineering Sample
* Motherboard Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6 F4B BIOS
* VGA Card Gigabyte GV-RX387512H 512 MB GDDR4
* Memory Team Xtreem DDR3 1600C7 2 GB Kit
* PSU Gigabyte Odin GT 550 Watt
* Heatsink Thermalright Ultra Extreme 120 + Thermaltake Smart Fan 12cm



Not difference with QX9650, this QX9770 reach 4.3 GHz (430 Mhz x 10) with vcore 1.46 volt, air cooling offcourse.

0.5 multiplier works great !!!




Highest FSB for now... 470 Mhz





to be continued.....

Yes i did, please take a look at 3rd post. I did post some screenshot with 8.5 Multiplier. For FSB, i'm stuck at 470 Mhz for stability, 475 Mhz only for suicide, no matter what multiplier used.

Thanks bro

Dry Ice result.... sorry don't have much time to play, because i only got 3 kgs of dry ice...

3DMARK 2006 CPU Score @ 5.1 GHz
