    OK... but my performance DOOOWWWNN :-( the PC run slow.... -->>>Try static Tread value or phase adjust????????

    And because my bios showme ''SPD''800????????? sometimes showme 1066,what is a problem???


    PD: I am exhausted of continueas ''faults'' :-( :-( I do not obtain overclock decent :(

      Tread Value

      Well if it shows 800 on the left but 1066 on the right that is fine. What you set the memory multiplier to is what will change that

      Have you read any overclocking guides?

          Show me what you are using for FSB and memory multi and I will tell you which Memory muli to use for 1066 speed.

          It isnt the board, P35's are great boards, I still have and use mine

            Gents, I've been following this thread for a while with much interest.
            But I still need some guidance on configuring my x38t <acronym title="Basic Input Output Sytem">BIOS</acronym> for my hardware;

            I have the following:
            Board: GA-x38t-DQ6
            <acronym title="Random Access Memory">RAM</acronym>: Patriot Viper DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz (2x 2gb) 7-7-7-20 1.9v
            CPU: Q9450 2.8 GHz
            GPU: ATI 4850HD

            Right Now everything in <acronym title="Basic Input Output Sytem">BIOS</acronym> is set to Auto or Normal.
            But at these settings, I just don't think my components are being utilized to their full potential.
            Could someone please tell me which settings I should use in the <acronym title="Basic Input Output Sytem">BIOS</acronym> Intelligent Tweaker section?
            I do not want a crazy overclock. Just something that will give me a cool and stable system at it's best potential.

            I am a complete OC noob and after reading this and other forums. I still can't figure out what <acronym title="Front Side Bus">FSB</acronym>, <acronym title="Random Access Memory">RAM</acronym> and Voltage settings will be best for my rig.

            Thank you!

                LLSMEASAP,
                THANK YOU for your quick reply.
                Here is a link to my RAM: NCIX.com - Buy Patriot Viper Extreme Performance 4GB DDR3 2X2GB PC3-12800 DDR3-1600 CL 7-7-7-20 Memory Kit - PVS34G1600LLK In Canada.

                I don't want overclock too much. Perhaps 3 to 3.2 GHz. I use ArcticCooler 7 for my cooler. Stability is more important to me than benchmark scores.

                        Stasio > Ooops, that 2.8 was a typo on my part. It's actually 2.66.

                        I will try your suggested settings now and will report back. Thanks guys.

                          LSD,
                          Ok, I've used your recommended settings, but I changed my DDR3 Over Voltage to +.40. In your post you suggest +.10 = 1.6v, and since my ram is 1.9v, I used +.40... am I correct in doing so?

                          I've ran 3Dmark Vantage a couple of times, and so far so good.

                          My CPU idles at mid 30sC

                          I'm quite content at 3.2GHz. I'll keep stressing it for a couple more hours to make sure it's stable.

                            Seem it don't work if you use ACHI either. I use RAID but not on OS harddrive can be that in bios it says RAID dunno.

                              Well, I've been runnning Orthos for about an hour now and so far no problems...

                              Lsdmeasap, could you please clarify the below, which number should I use the first or the second? Currently I'm using the second...

                              ACT to ACT Delay (tRRD)_________ 3-5
                              Rank Write to READ Delay________ 4-7
                              Write to Precharge Delay_________ 6-9
                              Refresh to ACT Delay______________ 65-80
                              Read to Precharge Delay__________ 3-8
                              Static tRead Value_______________7-10
                              Static tRead Phase Adjust________ 23__[Auto] << Always Auto
                              Also do you recommend using Gigabyte's Dynamic Energy Saver? I would like to since my computer is idling most of the time, but don't want it to cause problems...
                              THANKS!

                                Code:
                                LSD, 
                                Ok, I've used your recommended settings, but I changed my DDR3 Over Voltage to +.40. In your post you suggest +.10 = 1.6v, and since my ram is 1.9v, I used +.40... am I correct in doing so?
                                Follow Lsd setting(+.10 = 1.6v).
