Great mobo

GIGABYTE GA-X38T-DQ6 LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-X38T-DQ6 LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: No problem using Corsair CFIN DDR3 1800/7-7-7-20/2V with BIOS F2. Overclocks my E6750 to 3.6Ghz/450x8/1.5V with no problems using the Thermalright 120 Extreme.

Cons: None

Overall Review: My 3rd Gigabyte mobo. Have 2 other AMD 939 mobo's. Never had problems.

Most Critical Review

I take it back

GIGABYTE GA-X38T-DQ6 LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-X38T-DQ6 LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: It's pretty

Cons: Any BIOS above F2 is completely unstable. You get the reboot of death if you use the F3 or F5 BIOS.

Overall Review: If you want to overclock don't buy this mobo.

Compatible with Acer Nitro Ryzen 2500U

HyperX Impact 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 2400MHz DRAM (Notebook Memory) CL14 1.2V Black SODIMM (260-pin) HX424S14IB2K2/16 (Intel XMP)

Pros: If you're looking for a memory upgrade for Ryzen cpu's this pair is compatible! This laptop came with 8 GB single channel ram & has no option to change memory settings but this pair automatically goes to dual channel JEDEC 14-14-14-35. Confirmed with CPU-Z, AIDA64, & RAMMon. Definitely a worthy upgrade!

Cons: None.

Overall Review: AIDA64 Extreme memory stress test passing as we speak.

Awesome

Pros: Haven't even begun to overclock this memory to it's potential but it has no problem hitting 1800 @ 7-7-7-20-2T

Cons: none

Overall Review: Compatible with Gigabyte GA-X38T-DQ6 mobo. [email protected]/450x8/1.5V. Vista 64 Ultimate.

Good overclocker

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6750
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6750

Pros: Orthos stable @ 3.6Ghz/450x8/1.5V using Thermalright 120 Extreme/MX-2/Antec 900 case fan. Temps ~52C @ load. Using Gigabyte GA-X38T-DQ6 mobo/2GB Corsair CFIN DDR3/1800/7-7-7-20/2V

Cons: none.

Overall Review: Looking for 4Ghz once my Scythe S-FlexF gets here and might consider lapping the heatsink and cpu.

MX-2 is worth it.

ARCTIC MX-2 (4g) Carbon-Based Thermal Compound, Non-Electricity Conductive, Non-Capacitive

Pros: E6750 @ 3.6Ghz @ 1.5V Temps 51-55C w/ Thermalright 120 Extreme. 8800GT w/ Thermalright HR-03 GT no fan, passive cooling (for now) 45C. This MX-2 is good stuff.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Put a small dab in the middle of cpu and gpu and spread it outward wearing a vinyl medical glove. I put some on base of heatink as well. Easy to work with.
