| CPU FSB Voltage | 1.20 - 1.55 Volts (0.05 Volts) |
| Northbridge (MCH) | 1.25 - 2.025 Volts (0.15 Volts) |
| Southbridge (ICH) | None |
| DRAM Voltage | 1.50 - 3.05 Volts (0.05 Volts) |

Most of the BIOS ranges are the same for the X48T-DQ6 as they were for the X48-DQ6. Further details can be found in our X48-DQ6 BIOS description.
Though the X48T-DQ6 memory voltage range is different from that of the X48-DQ6, it appears the same since Gigabyte uses "over stock" settings rather than showing actual values. While the breadth of adjustments is identical, the base voltage for DDR3 is 1.50 volts rather than the 1.80 volts of DDR2.
Our Core 2 Duo E6850 reached 4014 MHz clock at its stock 9x multiplier and 1.60 volts core. Dropping the CPU core multiplier to 6x allowed the X48T-DQ6 to reach 540 MHz FSB. FSB and MCH voltage were set to +0.30 V and +0.35 V respectively.

Its no suprise that the manufacturers didn't really bother with a major redesign because this is the last of the current Intel architectures before we move to the CSI memory link in the upcoming CPUs. I say embrace the X48 and enjoy the greatest performance that Socket 775 will ever be able to deliver. Besides since when can you disagree with releasing a validated chipset in favour of overclocking? Some people just want a bloody good board that runs perfectly stable - we are not all overclockers you know (plus there is the issue of possibly invalidating warranties when overclocking is done)
