400FSB BIOS Settings - The Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6

400FSB BIOS Settings

We have decided to provide users with both 400 and 450FSB starting points for quad-core processors. These settings are geared towards a performance oriented setup for 24/7 usage. Individual systems will require stability testing according to personal preferences and component selections. The settings shown are a guideline only; voltages may vary according to individual components and motherboard ability. Remember, perseverance is the key when overclocking!
