this VID and VTT thingy very confusing me..
how to set the cpu Vcore value in the bios?

let see i want 1.4v..how to config it?

not really.... my previous E6550 vid is 1.35v and on my previous DS3, when I set auto in bios, the vcore is 1.35v but for the DK, the vcore is 1.32v only

the vid u need to adjust in vid special for 1.4v..mean u need to top up how much from ur current vcore..vtt also u can find there

just up ur vid to 50mv..if ur stock vcore was 1.35..it should be 1.4v

make me confuse..if refer to bios and load reading it told us right reading for me...but if refer core temp as my stock vcore make me

use win flash is fine, but make sure u turn on ur task manager and off all those non essentail stuff running in background to be safe.........

ACPI is something like a bar code for mobo to identify the CPU rite, so most proberly its more like a standard code a batches instead of the real value of the chip itself.

okay that is suprising for me..
ure proc vid is so high.. for stock.. wonder y??

ahaha...i know how u feel.... 5 - 10 minutes of hell waiting the progress bar till 100%

i'm still stuck with 30/10/2007 bios...............

i got double posting every time i switch on my rig..normal or wut?

double posting mean that the system will power down 1st during booting...then restart again bro?

if yes i do face the same problem oso after flashing the bios to 24/12/07..

I nearly fainted that day due to "exhaustion" while waiting my mobo to complete the Winflash

Imagine if TNB played trick on you

yes..the situation is like that...izzit normal?

i just use factory default bios now...nver flash anything yet..

i think this happen after i OC..b4 that just normal..and till now at OC state..

hmm...gonna try all setting at default and see would this double posting happen again..

hmm... i wonder, why to flash(using winflash) the bios take a long time..?

should it be faster do the bios flashing not in windows mode?

erm yeah winflash jus atke few minutes oni..i think within2 or 3 minutes oredi done

the latest BIOS is 24/12/07 aight? because just read here in previous page said that the latest is 13/02/08

Hey guys, I think I just realize that we can actually undervolt the CPU on mobos that can't be set in BIOS...... silly of me not to think about that method.....

Will try it out later and let you guys know....

And another thing.... I can change the VID in core temp for my old rig! Will try it out later on my Q6600!!!

the latest 1 is 13/2/08

http://us.dfi.com.tw/Support/Download/bios..._FLAG=B&SITE=US

if u use 24/12/07 can u upload for me...wanna try it..

bro...u r like a R&D company or something la...so secretive one..
anyway, do let us know once u finished with ur 'research'

No la, just now a bit busy ma.....

Anyway, the program is non other than "Rightmark CPU clock utility". I have used this in my AMD 64 3500+ rig last time and I totally forgot that you could a few cool things in windows:
1) Set your own multiplier e.g. like for the Q6600, you can set it to run at 6x and 7x multiplier only, or 6x and 9x only, or 7x and 8x only or solely on 9x only....
2) Set the vcore to anything within the CPU's range (that means you can undervolt or overvolt your CPU in windows, even for mobos that don't allow downclocking in BIOS )
3) And surprise surprise.... VID in core temp or any program is no longer accurate as it can be changed!!! See pics below...

Important : But be careful as the Rightmark CPU clock utility is a powerful app. If you're not careful, you may accidentally overvolt your CPU to very high voltages!!!

My original Q6600 VID
[attachmentid=406745]

Instant noodle to 1.300v VID
[attachmentid=406747]

Hmmm..... want to increase my Q6600 - for sale.... VID at 1.2625v
[attachmentid=406748]

This proc should be auctioned!!!
[attachmentid=406751]

Note : Let me find my old guide on Rightmark CPU clock utility..... can't remember where it is....

Ahhhh found it..... gives a basic understanding on how RMCC utility works : http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry11703415 (Post #118)

Again, be warned : RMCC is a useful and powerful program. Be careful when you use it. Make sure you understand the basic principles. Any damage is NOT MY FAULT!!!

i might try it with my e8400.

@kmarc
so ur stock vcore will be 1.2375???so what others software and bios will detect ur stock vcore at 1.2375???

Errr.... don't understand the question. My actual VID is 1.3125v.....

The vcore changes in windows when you set it in RMCC. You can change the vcore to whatever you want in windows, no need to go to BIOS to change the vcore....

mmm..like this..after u set ur vid to certain amount...ur stock vid will became what u set or still like original stock vid...

After setting the VID, any program will show the new VID in windows.

It doesn't change the actual VID. That means, I can't change my Q6600's VID from 1.3125v to 1.100v and run at stock 2.4GHz!!!

Ability to change the VID shows that we should be careful when buying CPUs just based on VID as people can change them in windows, if they know how.....

hmmm...i wonder what is the actual reading from vmm would that be after changing it...just curious whether it just change what is being reported by the sensor or it's really change the actual voltage...
but yeah, it is an interesting piece of apps

Dunno.... I just use CPUz and smartguardian to check on the vcore..... don't want to suddenly get a high vcore setting!!

what does this mean...i use 480 x7 with stock vcore..then i add more vcore to push more bus...cannot boot when i add more than 480 even add 50mv...means my mobo already hit their wall or not????

try different fsb /vtt termination voltage.
adjust ure gtl's to be around the same as ure stock.

Could be your CPU FSB wall too..... My previous E6750 also hit a wall at 480mhz FSB..... was lazy to find out whether it was mobo or CPU FSB wall....

maybe hit the fsb wall, try other way eg. lower the fsb and rasie the multiplier, see your proc can run at the same equivalent to >480x7

just realized.. bro jy14 got bulk for LANPARTY DK X38-T2R...

could be my next mobo end of this year


BTW, double posting, izzit normal??

just go for any X48 mobo if you wanna grab new mobo.
chipset will be running cooler by then.

hmm only rampage formula and gaygaybyte X48 seems to support DDR2

but looking at the way ppl are overlclocking.. i think better not..

@albert
bro how ur oc on dis mobo wit ur e84?can go highest clock with wat vcore?if stock vcore can go how high?vdrop how much with ur e84 runing on dis mobo?

I guess the vdrop & vdroop is almost as 65nm C2D

here is the vmod, good news for those C2Q user





btw, below is the screenie for DK X38

hehe sum update for my dk oced wit e84..its on stock vcore

[attachmentid=407970]

Wow! Nice OC for stock clock!

What cooler did you use for the NB?

thx bro..will do more after dis..wanna burn in abit more..then gonna try 445x9..hehehe btw im using Swiftech NB cooler bro

Not really actually... but when you are very afraid that TNB might play a trick with you... eventually the 3 minutes felt like 15 minutes



But the "waiting time" is one of a hell



13/02/08 tu Beta

look at the NB cooler

err...who want my DK P35??!!
just kidding

my highest i can go so far is around 460-470 x8(not really remember..at home right now)will post some ss for all...but not orthos yet..just pass super pi 32M...

@gsan
that ur new x38 mobo???




mantap2...my next target...

this is a vmod alrite...but not vdroop mod, which i'm dying (well,not really la... ) to have...
it will increase the vcore even on default setting and will put a lot of stress on other hardware - cpu included;especially on the mosfet.
i think i'll stick with current crazy vdroop...

@mfcm, how you change the multi to x8.5???

my dk only allowed 6-7-8-9 multi.

i'm just running this E8400+DK to 425x8=3.4Ghz, stock vcore-1.1375v(bios), load-1.120v , vdimm-2.0v, nb core-1.33v, ht link-1.08v.

so far running ortho , small fft, large, and blend, more then 4hours each without error.

*i had try 4ghz before, 450x9=4.050ghz, with 1.32v, running occt 30min pass, prime 1hour also pass,
but then dota for 2hours giving me a reboot.

there one option there u need to enable..its N/2 iinm..dunno previous bios or not..but mine got.bios 24/12

aiyoyo no board for me to play yet oh. Wonder how many times I type out this sentense already

no wonder lah, i'm still using the 31/10/2007 bios.

how you do the bios flashing? using floppy disc?
can show me step by step? i don't wanna get in to trouble here.


rgds

yeah i think previous bios dont hv..u can use winflash.im using winflash oso.thres guide for it in dfi website..jus caution make sure u didnt hv electricity prob while do it..gud luck bro

What FPO?I want to know,will lookout for these type of gem.

its Q746A512..btw check this out more

[attachmentid=408739]

tried to use 1.232v load for 445x9..but failed after 5hours 45min prime so up abit vcore to 1.264 set in bios n idle..1.248v load for 12hours 40min prime

Why such a low OC? Don't waste your E8400, OC higher!!!!



I flashed my P35-DS3 using boot disk but still kaput. Apparently the mobo had issues with BIOS flashing.... version 1.0..... now RMA, hopefully they give me the newest version!!!

nice result here try to push it kaw kaw
