In all other cases you can select the desired value from the drop-down list, like the memory frequency, for instance. It can be set using a broad range of coefficients.

And you will not get confused, because the resulting frequency value in MHz is displayed in the Memory Frequency information line.

You can adjust memory timings in the same section, however, you have to press Ctrl+F1 combination on entering the BIOS.

It is very convenient that each parameter can be adjusted independently of the rest and you also get the nominal SPD readings at the same time.

Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 mainboard offers very rich options for voltages adjustment. Among them are:

• DDR2 OverVoltage Control: up to +0.775V with 0.025V increment;
• PCI-E OverVoltage Control: up to +0.35V with 0.05V increment;
• (G)MCH OverVoltage Control: up to +0.75V with 0.05V increment;
• FSB OverVoltage Control: up to +0.35V with 0.05V increment;
• CPU Voltage Control: from 0.6875V to 2.375V with 0.025V increment.

We tested all these features in our lab. Knowing the abilities of the Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 processor that we had at our disposal, we managed to easily overclock it to 490MHz FSB by raising the processor Vcore, Vmem and Vchipset.

Gigabyte mainboards have always been pretty brief when it came to status reports in PC Health Status section. However, I have to stress that they know to control the fan rotation speed of the processor cooler with three- and four-pin power connector, unlike the mainboards from many other manufacturers, which have been recently supporting mostly the coolers with four-pin connectors.

In conclusion I would like to say that Q-Flash utility built into the mainboard BIOS allows to easily save, update and reflash the BIOS.
