here's mine...

I guess his fan is actually the pump from his CoolIT FreeZone Elite speed.

Using the ST400 to oc this mobo is surely not enuf, need to wait for my new psu. aih.

is anyone using this board wit Window Vista as the OS ?
is it okie ? got any problems ? cause mobo got problem wit Vista.
Duno why.

elite pump is on the PCB... not like frezone which u put in on the mobo...

hmm dunno some crazed mobo fan result or maybe cause i made the bios ignore the cpu fan speed..since there isnt any??

hmm sniper whats vin1 for u ah?? check bios and see whats ure gtl
but ures looks like FSB termination aka CPu VTT aka HT link voltage.

is it the utility problem ??
or general ..??

technically p35 is just plug and play once u install vista.. u can change to any p35/x38 mobos.. not too sure about G33.

curious.

here are mine with gtl setting in bios all 3 setting set to 0.67X

*sorry some problem with uploading the picture. wonder why?

what seems to be the problem? mine working a-ok...can u be specific?
even oc'ed my quad to 3.4G also got no problem...still pushing for higher speed thou


yeah...about this 0.67x, 0.63x blabla...what does it mean actually...saw the UT bios for this gtl...dunno how to translate this 0.67x thingy to the 110 or 111 setting like the UT


btw, i've replaced the stock NB cooler with the HR-05 SLI/IFX...by slightly bend the heatsink, it perfectly snug in between the gfx and the cpu fan. even placed a 80mm fan on it...the temp dropped about 7-10c...idle right now around 43-44c...ok la considering my ambient temp

@cstkl1
same as remysix and overclockalbert, 0.67X, don't know what does it mean though

maybe you can post the screenie of it for cstkl1 to refer since the bios for DK is a bit diff. from UT/LT

uik i dont have the UT board bro.. was playing with friends one in singapore during CNY...
awesome..
thats y i think the x48 will be same with the UT since the X38 is same as DK.



read edgeofstability.com

it has excel spreedsheet and he even explained it right to the core..
hope that helps..

i will, but not now... got no camera le... later aight...

well...
@cstkl1
that's a good site i tell you...

of course larr it was meant for DFI UT but can be applied to DK also..

takes time to understand play with it..
took me a while but i get the idea.

this is y.. sad wei u guys using dual core on this mobo..
should rape it with quaddies
if teh x48 got strap 400.. confirm already maximus lose ..

x48 for dfi have ddr2? i think they will also focus on ddr3

supposedly they will

oh yeah guys the gtl setting for 65nm proc no dif but for 65nm quaddies yes
and looking from the problems with 45nm proc.. it will make a difference..

damn.. hardly understand until i saw below post..




** should inform earlier shall the reference for DFI user..

what to do... all money gone to get this board and good PSU


ko gelojoh bonar...

psst, pinjam your Quaddies

wei its the same

haiyo
see the excel sheet

and the graph
so with those 0.67x etc u increase the voltages of the GTL's

whats the difference
only this board and if i am not mistaken one of the ati dfi boards
u can change core 0/2 and core 1/3 idependently

no other boards can and they all assume that both are having the same reading when its not.. so difficult..
have u wondered y sometimes when u run orthos ( try the older one.. which u can choose which core to run and run two of them)
this core fail and the other core didnt??

should i go for vista or xp ?? i heard xp might be more oc'ble than vista . is it true ?

they are the same
just that software base different
and with vista easier to find stable
since vista on some application stressed both cores to 75-80 percent..
those ppl who were unhappy cause they just found out their system is not stable..
most of the time it was their NB/PLL and rams was the culprit..

show of hands how many ppl here run memtest86 for 1 to 2 days??

---

Added on February 11, 2008, 6:13 pmhmm and how many of u this that the DA before will show up again??

hmm i got an example for u guys.. on y that gtl thingy so important..

u'd be suprise.

and y i am envious of u guys who has this board.. with the ability to control both gtl's..

ran memtest for 24 hrs during my BH-6 days...for burn-in...other than that onli 8 hours...


and i'm currently envy you coz u know why that gtl is so important
i know it is important especially for quaddie but i just dont know how to benefit from it...if using the UT or the RDxx based mobo, u can change the GTL Ref Voltage from say 100 to 110 and other setting, this DK only has 4 setting...0.67x (67%), 0.61x (61%) and another 2 (I think)...i'm totally lost bro...anyway, i'm gonna do the old skool style lah...trial and error...and it will be a lot of errors

wei bro i am in the same boat...
if u think that the dk is worse
try imagine most boards out there which has one option only CPU reference GTL..
instead of core 0/2 and core 1/3...
that already makes me envious..

only thing hmm need a quadies to test the full theory..
heck dk can change trd base on both channel of the rams.. ( y is this good) stability for 4 sticks)

anyway me looking at MSI boards.. too.. kekek want to see all the boards ppl neglect.. any hidden jewels..

@gsan,

the vdroop for this mobo+Q6600 GO, about 45mv.

setting 333X3 to 3ghz, 1.26V, ram at 5-5-5-15 1000mhz 2V,
idle 1.26v load 1.215v.
i test the q6600 up to 3.2Ghz , p95 for 30minutes, even the vcore drop till 1.215v, still no errors.

so, any others with quad core come share your vdroop issue.

rgds,
albert

what is the vcore reading in bios? 1.26v too?

mine is also like urs...vdroop around 45 - 50 mV...need to get the exact figure later. btw, how's ur vdrop? mine like another 35-40mV...so basically once the quaddie is on load, the vcore dropped around 80 - 90mV compared to what i've set in BIOS...really not good.

why the vdroop so high ar ??

dude ure vcore is worrying..
get a voltmeter..
and find a vdroop mod.

r u referring to me?
well...i'm gonna try to plug in the extra power into the mobo...the FDP one and see how.
btw...havent found any mod yet...maybe the model is too 'young'...

hey help me to oc my E2160 hehe
im a very noob on ocing
last time use asus quite easy now use dfi all the setting seems to be on manual
even the ram oc T_T

a lot of people is noob...some are intermediate...and very few considered has master the Dark Art of OC!

btw, gonna get me-self a penryn and see how well it oc tonite... ***i smell a quaddy gonna be on sale ***

whose quaddies was that?
letting urs ka?

ps: mebi can lend to me b4 selling

mmm...sorry la bro;change of plan...all the sudden, the stock got rembat by some other supplier, so my seller could not get any stock...so, sleeping with my quaddy la tonite

what proc cooling do u all recon ? i found on xigmatek pretty good !
and so is thermalright ultra 120 XD !

both are good hsf...but for xigmatek, try to replace the push-pin (really hate it! ) with the spring loaded bolts like the one used with Ultra 120.

Picture tells it all.

... nice pic and it really tells it all.
love that one...but i think i'm gonna put one 20cents coin between the bracket and the heatsink...just to make it tighter...experimenting!!!

lol .. envy u all la .. i wanna get that but no more stock edy T.T !

Tuniq Tower 120 or Xigmatek SHDT1283,both is good,as good as Ultra 120.More value for money when compare to Ultra 120

BTVX FTW!

read the preview, its beat all the expensive HSF

A little outta topic here... thou still related to the same board anyhow (cause I'm using it )

I just bought a 500GB Seagate 7200.11 32MB SATA II HDD and currently running on UDMA Mode-5 (ATA-100) as showed by my system device properties. I running WinXP and BIOS SATA mode: IDE. Someone told me I could run it at UDMA Mode-6 (ATA-133) if I select BIOS SATA mode: ACHI. However, doing so will need to reformat the Windows and also installing a SATA driver before installing the OS. My Floppy Disk Drive "kaputed" and taken out . Any recommendation? Or just continue with UDMA Mode-5?

My first time playing with SATA II. Sorry for my noobness ...

what is vdroop? hmm.. is it voltage after load that been measure? btw, this some link i found.. but i still dont understand..

http://www.thetechrepository.com/showthread.php?t=126

those reading are all from cpu-z and mobo utilities.

i try get the bios vcore later.

try google.

it tells you everything


rgds

You mean the DK P35-T2RS also has such a bad vdrop/vdroop for the quad? Same like my P35-DS3 leh..... don't you have other settings that you can set in BIOS e.g. Loadline calibration, etc.....

My P35-DS3, BIOS 1.400v, CPUz idle @ 1.36v, CPUz load @ 1.312v..... vdrop/vdroop of 0.088v.....



See here : http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...0#entry15451675

Look at Part 8. There is also a link that explains better about vdrop/vdroop....

guys my chipset temp this morning is 53 degrees
last nite oni 40 something
just wanna ask u guys temp
is it normal o not normal?
my cpu fan die
i change to my gemini2
the temp almost same 36-40
naik turun
b4 is 38-40

yeah...pretty bad. coz previously i was using the P35-DQ6; and i must say that that board is really stable in terms of voltage. Completed OCCT and the vcore graph shown 0% ripple...idle=load, so when switched to this DK (maybe mine, other seems quite ok), 80-90mV diff between is really frustrating and troublesome for my oc. e.g. last nite, tried to prime my q6600 425x8=3.4G...with DQ6, set the vcore to 1.35 and no problem doing with priming for hours (normally i did > 8 hours)...with DK, i need to set +125mV (vid=1.25v) ==> 1.375v set, vdrop to 1.34v, primed and vdroop to 1.31v...less than half an hour, got error with one of the core. so, back to bios, re-set the vcore...one step higher than +125mV (didnt remember)...this time vdroop to 1.32v...stable for 2 hours testing...this is really dissapointing for me...i gues the others is luckier than i am.


53c is with ur system on load or idle? what about ur ambient temp?probably it got to do with ur ventilation? not sure thou...

bro...with XP u have no option but 2:
1. using the normal floppy disk...kaputed edi -- no go
2. using USB Floppy disk -- if u have a notebook one, can use la
3. slipstream the driver into the XP installation...the only way since #1 cannot.

btw, i think even thou u r using the same mobo, this question should go under Technical Support la...follow the link
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/501772

Did you check your temperature according to the SmartGuardian? I can quite confident tell you that the SmartGuardian programmed wrongly. Erm... rather to say just the wrong description for the "CHIPSET" and "SYSTEM" temperature showed. The "CHIPSET" should be labeled as "PWM AREA" and the "SYSTEM" should be labeled as "CHIPSET". So the true temperature for your chipset is the one showed by "SYSTEM" by your SmartGuardian .



Icic. Thanks a lot for the direction .

Anyway, will there be noticeable performance gain in using ACHI mode than IDE?

performance gain...in real life; not sure but i do think it might not be noticeable.

i would like to ask wheter power phase lvl helps in vcore vdroop problem...for this dk p35 mobo is a 4 phase pwm...will it be a cause for the vdroop problem for this board

How about its features? Benefiting?

Since my Seagate 7200.11 supporting NCQ, should I try to get mine running in ACHI mode?

i used the smart guardian la
ventilation ah?
open case wor
i mean i didnt use any case haha

forgot la the name
let say like this
the first box from he lef is cpu rite?
i saw the middle 1
in red colour somemore 53 degrees
the last 1 same as usual 38-40

btw the temp is during idle not load...
since i woke up then just press the on button the left the pc i take bath..

i set the ram at auto
later figure out how to oc my ram to 1066MHz hehe

Brother, read properly on what I posted earlier .

The middle box in the SmartGuardian which you're mentioning with high temperature even during idle is normal. It's because they programmed the SmartGuardian or should say labeled the SmartGuardian wrongly which that middle box temperature is actually showing the temperature of the PWM Area than Chipset. The Chipset temperature is the one showed by the last box (right most) of SmartGuardian which labeled as System temperature. 50C+ degree is normal for PWM Area .

i c so it is normal la
haha did read ur post properly
btw rite now not at home mah
cannot c the name
now in class at upm ^^
