Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 BIOS @ F4
Gigabyte have finally gotten off their bottoms and have released the F4 BIOS for the DQ6. As of late they have been favouring the DS3 etc, that said they have also released a plethora of ‘beta’ BIOSes all the way upto F5c, but F4 remains the most stable.
The last time I used a floppy was probably 6+ years ago as I remember shifting over to Iomega ZIP disks for a while and since then DVD-Rs and solid-state memory. So I was left with the dilemma of risking the BIOS update through windows (via the @BIOS utility) or booting up some way and flashing it by hand.
I used my XP boot DVD and there was an option for loading a ‘Win ‘98 boot floopy with NTFS support’…so I gave it a try and it didn’t detect my HDDs as they are on the SATA controller, but it did load up my SD card (USB) as the ‘C:’!
Flashed the BIOS via the FLASH895 utility and have performed 11 iterations of Prime95s torture test (on small FFTs) so as to stress the CPU instead of test the RAM as well…
All’s good I must say 
- Gigabyte DQ6: BIOS F5
- Gigabyte DQ6: BIOS F5d
- Intel Core 2 Duo Confirmed!
- C2D E6600 Rebuild…
- Voltage Droop

As per Wikipedia, Voltage droop is the loss in output voltage from a device as it tries to drive a load.[1] Droops are typically temporary and occur due to the charging time of a capacitive load, t...
