i guess you have to test out each by urself, it seems diffferent combination will give u different result for each different set of hardware......so patience and abundance of time will yiled the best result......

so far i only see e2140 with this baby ? everyone waiting for q9450 ??

Yeah... however, the combination is too much to play with... and furthermore doesn't know what setting those are for... afraid later screwed up everything resulting in smoke coming out .

I'm having Q6600 on it, but haven't start anything yet . Noober in OC... didn't even try before... so gotta see see look look properly before I getting started .

No vdroop? Wow, this is indeed a good mobo....

Errr..... rumour has it that crucial rams don't really like high voltages, especially over 2.2v...... (Edit : .... even with ram cooling....)

There are not recommend to use more than 2.2V for Crucial RAM, if u wan to raise the VDRAM, u should hv cooling kits for ur RAM...

OCZ's EVP (Extra Voltage Protection) giving warranty until 2.2V VDram .

Crucial also gives warranty up to 2.2V.

How's the vdrop/vdroop of this mobo with a quad?

aaaaaaaarrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh..... I cant do anything until after CNY.. perhaps until next week!!! so jealous looking at your guys posting here...... wait aaarrrr...

E2140 M0 + Team Extreme DDR2 800... quick prime

@sniper bro
u do 1.47V for 3.2Ghz eh... so high la.. i do about 1.38V for 3.2Ghz Common bro, do better lor. show what the dfi can do!!

it's not about DFI, DFI always better IMO, but it's the processor... actually i tried straight up to 1.500 on 450, and forgot to revert back to stock or lower, thinking to get back to stock voltage since i'm on Team Extreme now...

i'm noob with OC.. do guide me on this.. my try on OC this mobo with my q6600 and crucial ballistic tracer 1066

You're running on stock HSF kah? Wei... did you see the three temperature also RED indicating unpleasant temperature there?

possible to post the screenie of the CoreTemp for your Q6600?

btw, there is a common problem for this mobo, I dunno what does it called in english, but it is something like this...

when you turn off the pc with the main switch off (or psu off with no power supplies to the mobo) and when you on it again, it will on and off awhile, then on again and continue running as well. the situation looks like overclocking on P35 mobo.

@gsan
its double posting. Or cold boot IMO. I have this problem(not sure whether its a problem or an advantage). Btw, for my board, its fixed with a BIOS update.

You're temperature is way too high.

Use core temp 0.96.1 to see the temperature.....

Are you using stock CPU heatsink fan?

yup run with stock HSF (look a like that ).. coolermaster Vortex 752 .. going to buy other hsf after cny..








i hv reboot my pc last night, so this is a bit of Ortos that i run with core temp..



btw, is still ok or not? for voltage cpu and vdimm?

yaya, double posting, normally it will happen only if you change some certain main setting in bios. for my DK P35, once I overclock the FSB over 500MHz, then will have this double posting each time I on the pc.

btw, you all can have a look on this if you can read mandarin as well

http://bbs.ocer.net/viewthread.php?tid=181943&extra=&page=1

Yeah, better get a good HSF....

That's a good OC. Even my Q6600 needs 1.312v to run at 3.2Ghz..... very bad vdroop on my motherboard....

What vcore did you set in BIOS?

his Q6600's VID only 1.3v better than yours

Wait I get this P35-T2RS then you know....

" Challenge the limitation of Quad-core " quote from windwithme

@gsan
im oso face the same situation like urs..but don think it a problem coz last time using asus commando,its also same lidat

this is my idle screen..






see on ur signature, 8x400.. the ratio is 8, if using 9.. what is the 'bad' thing will happen? ist not safe to play OC with ratio 9?

what's your FSB now? each time you on the pc also got double posting or just when overclocking? btw, that tower 120 finally can mounted on DK P35 ?

does it only happen when done OC.. mine too.. it double posting..

me dunno chinese. But thanks for the link anyways.

It is better to run at higher FSB/bus speed as your components will be communicating faster with each other..... hence the lower multiplier with higher FSB

I actually tried 7x multiplier but couldn't boot.... lazy to test for CPU FSB wall....

Oh, BTW, if you want to stress the Q6600, you should "Small FFTs" test rather than "Blend test" in prime95...

Errr... please note that orthos doesn't stress all 4 cores.... download the new Prime95 (v25.5 and above) and use that instead....

Note : You can run 2 instances of orthos but may get the core affinity error....

i will try it again..

errrr...a n00b's question: How come my SmartGuardian didnt show the temp or voltage...temp just shown '000' and no value at all for the voltage.
dunno why la...already run it as admin, still got no reading.

i just try it (prime95).. temperatures increase up to 80~ then my pc turn off is self (after 2nd test)..

will try back after cny.. going back to kampung..

still waiting my good.....nop yet reach my door...come on baby i'm waiting for u.

a forumer(tapirus) from sungai petani already got it today..i'm waiting mine too..

From what i know here's the list of buyers with the mobo now:

nelienuxe_sara
sniper69
matyrze
zx12
remysix
Vtec(Rock)
tapirus
sopen2003
and 1 more forumer.

I bought tis mobo tdy, wait i back to my hometown to9 den i will try to fix it, but must wait after I backup my data to another HDD...

i dunno izzit coz my ram got prob or else i cant do above 375fsb..haizz will try other ram later..yup it jus happen when i change any setting in bios or resetting cmos..i can fix the tuniq bro..but need to take out the left hsf there..coz ith block the holder of the hsf

@sopen
its happen when im resetting cmos or changing sumtin in bios

@jack
nice man..oc kaw kaw later

@tapirus
fast
fast oc result..myb can gv visit to u home this CNY

just got the HR-05 SLI/IFX from cschun86, but then it is not belong to me, just helping friend to test, will install on DK tomorrow and compare with the U6, hope can fit it nicely.



thanks to pokok86 who are willing to let me try this cooler

got mine today..

how's the chipset temp with the sli/ifx. i got one but yet to install it...maybe during this weekend...my chipset temp is too hi during load la

quick test e8400 ORthos stable 2 hours!!!1.29Vcore to Prime 4.2ghz
4.2ghz.still waiting the D9 memory to hit higher.using ddr667 kingmax now.ram limit me so i cannot go higher.wat i trying to say this mb is rock solid!!BEST FOR OC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@gsan
that's without graphic card and the position is facing the graphic card PCB, how about facing other direction?

, running on stock Team Extreme DDR2 800MHz, all went well until i started overclock the RAM, hitting DDR2 1000MHz is easy with loose timing, rebooting... , the system cannot boot anymore, thinking maybe too much, lowering down the CPU frequency by using CPU multiplier, still the same... increasing vDIMM too... nothing change, swap slot 1st trial on orange slot, 2nd on yellow slot, still... nothing change, it just won't boot... i was like... , thinking maybe i killed the RAM, try on single module A... will boot, DIMM1, DIMM2, DIMM3 and DIMM4, but on module B, it won't boot no matter which slot i plugged... guess i killed the RAM, tried on my other system... MSI P35 Neo2-FR, , voila... went well over DDR2 1125MHz @5-5-5-15 (without any tweak initially)... i was like... oh my, what's going on here... currently on 2x1GB Kingston ValueRAM + 1x1GB Aeneon ValueRAM both @DDR2 781MHz @5-5-5-15

this is the only position that I could install this cooler on the DK, else be blocked... regarding your problem, do you clear cmos and try again?

yes, i did... it just won't boot...

nice vid...
awesome..
16 mins??
but awesome vid..

but for the DFI owners..

good site for u guys

edgeofstability.com

time to go on the edge...!!.

increase ure referesh cycle time.. say 52??
u get better compaitability for more than 2 sticks of ram..
also might want to increase that mch ..

erm... I saw people reach 600fsb++ on air at XS and I feel so jealous.. One person use GB G33 DS2R!! another one reach 620fsb with P5B!! damn.. lets reach 600fsb with this board

damn jeles

until the secret of fsb termination vs bus vs NB vs vcore is understood..

those guys found out y my bet

till then old school overclocking.. trial and error..that means either am kong 10 minutes to a week ..

u can do it...

i believe most of the time its trial and error. I am old skool la.. by the way, my cpu wall is at 440Mhz, i dont think i can go any higher, but now, i have learnt how to use the memset to the maximum. Which is actually a super tool.

For some reason,memset is not doing much for my system.But if can use memset,can shave a few tenth off.

use of memset and setfsb is just to make lazy ppl from restarting the comp
for asus mobo's usually safer as whenever we restart it will does a immediate shut off spin of the HDD.. killing it easily..

i've got this Qs... it's about DFI's BIOS Menu

What is...

1. Exit Setup Shutdown?
- Mode 1 (default)
- Mode 2

tried both, not finding any differences at all

2. Shutdown After AC Loss?
- Disable
- Enable

never tried though

3. OC Fail Retry Counter?
- 0
- 1
- 2
- 3

i set to 3

4. Clock VCO Divider?
- Auto (Recommended)
- 2
- 3
- 4

leave it auto as recommended

got a lot other, but think gonna ask this 4 first...

3.
this option only available on 05/12 (beta) & 24/12 bios. it is actually how many times the mobo will reset the setting once the overclocking failed.

4.
this option works together with the fsb jumper setting on the mobo. and also, this setting mainly used for solve the double posting. for 1333fsb, select 2, 1066fsb choose 3 whereas 800fsb choose 4.
