wooo 600fsb didnt try yet how highest i can do for fsb..will try it after dis..erm btw izzit i need to prime oso to know highest fsb?or enuf to boot into bios?or doin some 1M SP?or till my pc hang

impossible to get that stable..

its just for benching

dude just to tell u that in the past
found that sometimes.. not all the times..
scaling for proc sometimes better on a higher vcore proc. than the lowest.

@albert
erm u try this software..myb can get better reading
or to other C2Q user on dfi mobo

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=179044

just tried it...my reading is 5c lower that reported by HWMonitor but ranging from 1-5c with CoreTemp 0.96

then izzit gud or still not accurate bro?
mine lower bout 10c compare to coretemp and smart guardian

Previously bro AceCombat and Sniper69 having some OS & HDD problem with the system with DFI LP DK P35-T2RS mobo, right? I wonder if that problem still occur with you guys?

Initially I thought my new Seagate 500GB 7200.11 32MB HDD is the culprit till at a stage where I'm not be able to install Windows into the C: partition where the setup shows "disk read error" after formatting the partition and copying the Windows installation files. Also I'm having problem deleting a few files on the HDD which said to be corrupted

I changed my Seagate 500GB 7200.11 32MB HDD with a new one (thanks for the kind shopkeeper to allow me to exchange even thou already two weeks I bought the drive). This time I installed in AHCI mode (SATA mode) instead of IDE mode for the SATA HDD which enables SATA feature such as NCQ and hot-swappable. Everything seems to be fine and smooth till I experienced twice system hang when I tried to open My Document while my IDM downloading some large files. The response lagging and then hangs at a stage.

First reset will reach the Windows loading screen like years and wouldn't boot.
Second reset will give option to select Safe Mode etc. and I select Safe Mode and it'll hang after loading all the necessary files.
Third reset will shows drive C: chkdsk and it shows no bad sector and only be able to boot into Windows.

Twice occurance also the same and I get this message on my Event Viewer:

DISK ERROR



DISK WARNING



I really doubt if my HDD fails me again . Could it be the RAM or motherboard ICH9R? Or just some corrupted application?

will try this later.
so how accurate this will be?

rgds

i drop 10c..haha dunno if not accurate with the reading but when c it drop it make me feel better to oc

btw here the 4.3ghz i prime for 9hours
set in bios 1.4v vcore, 1.41v NB..i think there such abit vdrop oso..coz sumtime its shown 1.39v but mostly its 1.376v..izzit coz by psu oso?haha coz didnt use 8pin atx psu..jus using 4pin atx

hey guys...anyone know wether THERMALRIGHT IFX-14 can fit into this board ya...will it hit de stock NB cooler...

on my DK, i've tried both...same result...same vdrop/vdroop...sadly

Anyone here care to share your setting for the VID when you overclock your Q6600 to 356MHz x 9 = 3.2GHz?

Vcore droop control spotted on DK X38 but heard that this mobo still based 4-phase digital PWM

My first overclocking experience and after some trial... now it is



CPU
Q6600 3.2GHz @ 400 x 8
BIOS: +37.5mV (1.2375)? (I'm not sure if I calculate correctly for 1.2000V (stock) + 0.0375 (37.5mV) = 1.2375? )
CPU-Z Idle: 1.232V
CPU-Z Load: 1.184V

Maximum Temperature Reported
Processor core: 65C
Chipset: 55C
PWM: 51C


Consider a good OC?

Edited: CPU-Z Idle is 1.232V

seem u got much vdrop oso btw congrat coz u oredi rape ur proc erm try to prime more longer coz sumtime within 5 or 6 hours theres an error

Posted the wrong number, actually my CPU-Z Idle is 1.232 instead of 1.216

So... my CPU VCore is 1.200 + VID Special Add 37.5mV = 1.2375V?

Vdrop will be: 1.2375 - 1.232 = 0.0055
Vdroop will be: 1.232 - 1.184 = 0.0048

Consider ok?

Anyway, I stopped the prime at 6 hours and 5 minutes instead of 5 hours as I'm going out

nice one...3.2G at sub-stock vcore...my quaddie need 1.26v to do 3.2G...still ok but urs is better...

Nice proc you have there!

Is your casing open or closed? Probably closed as your PWM and NB temp is also high, right?

I find it weird that your vcore is 1.184v on load but your temperature is still so high...... I'm also using xigmatek S1283 + fan running at 80%, at load using prime95 (all 4 cores), my max core temp is 61'c at 1.312v in CPUz........ but my rig is naked....

My casing is closed, if open casing wise the temperature might drop a few more C. Honestly I felt I need a change for the case, Tsunami Dream really doesn't offer me good enough air-flow anymore.

Initially during the earlier trial, my system passes the following setting for 30 mins prime without error at stock VCore.

1) 320MHz x 9 = 2880MHz
2) 360MHz x 8 = 2880MHz
3) 400MHz x 7 = 2800MHz

Then when I go for 400MHz x 8 = 3200MHz, the rig able to bootup but experiencing reboot when I started to prime. Then I add the VCore (VID Special Add) step by step:

1) +12.5mV : failed after prime for 5 minutes
2) +25.0mV : rebooted after prime for 2 hours
3) +37.5mV : successfully prime for 6 hours and 5 minutes

Note: mfcm guided me all the way through this for trial OCing (thanks a lot )

Final temperature reading I recorded after priming for 6 hours:

Highest processor core: 67C, 60C, 67C, 59C
Chipset: 57C
PWM: 51C

I don't think I'll do anything that stress the CPU for more than 3 hours continuous... so my rig can consider stable now and proceed with ram timings tuning?

Punch a top blowhole on your casing.Trust me, it helps a lot.

I also believe that will help a lot... however, my top is currently occupied with USB panel... guess nothing I can do unless sacrificing it

today very free....pick 1 e2140 quick test with DK.
here we go brother..........
manage to orthos 1 hour at 3.4ghz 1.488Vcore
nice try superpi 3.5ghz.i think 3.55 still can goin dunwan go so far this cpu is sean brother 1.hehehe...dunwan over 1.55vcore later kill cpu hard.

my setup
E2140 Mo STepping cool by Gemimi2
DFI DK P35
2x1gb DDR2 800 crucial with D9GKX
Silverstone DA750 PSU
Palit 7300GT

Wahhh I've never attempted such a high voltage before. Nice clocks on an e2140!

the temperature so high ..both core above 60celcius

if the temp not kill the chip, the volts will.

haha....nth to worry lar...just a quick test.no 24/7 test.so it won;t died so easyly just for benmark,ok....anyway nice performance DK DONE

try it yesterday, same as yours, direct drop 10C.
measure with IR type digital thermometer prove same reading.
nice support for e8400 , for sure...as for other proc. dunno.

rgds

glad to hear dat..yeah my fren oso measure with external sensor..the temp almost accurate

eh saw DK p35 got new rev..sum1 bought it in LYP wit smaller caps..wondering how the performance cmpared with 1st rev

is it the revision brought by CZone? i saw it on the pricelist. but what is the revision number?

im not sure izzit same revision or else..coz not belong to me..its addytang..yeah he bought from czone..wondering izzit differ rev coz the caps abit shorter

i think those resize cap was meant to suit GC better.
the 1st rev we are using have much bigger caps at those GC area,
maybe that's why there is 2nd rev with those resize cap.
well just my 2cent.

rgds,
albert

i think like that also...maybe someone already brought this problem to DFI company...

i never check when i 1st install my GC into the mobo, and
very lucky i guess, there is no collision between the GC and cap......

i read about this small problem on dfi forum

oiii..pakai dh lama..tweak pn dh lama..TRU120 pn dh psg..tggu apa lagi..oc ah..

Hi guys, hope I'm not too late joining in.
Finally got my system up last nite, still need to learn and understand a lot of setting in the BIOS .

Anyone here ever had problem installing XP with SATA/AHCI raid driver?

The F6 works ok and i can select the Intel SATA driver selection.
XP can load the driver from diskette during the F6 but then it gives error message "can't copy iastor.sys file when windows XP setup is starting.

I already flashed to the latest bios 13/4/08 but haven't repeat the setup.

My system setup is as below.


HDD1-SATA 0
HDD2-SATA 1
HDD3-SATA 2

I don't plan to do any RAID though.

At the moment I'm having deep shit problem with the iastor thingy. Refer to my problem here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/644478

However, I successfully install the HDDs in AHCI mode with just one time installation. Just want to try it out since encountering some problem with SATA IDE mode. I didn't use diskette to install the SATA RAID driver since my FDD already kaputed on me long time ago. What I did was Slipsteam the SATA RAID drivers to my Windows XP cd. Here is the tutorial: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/501772

Thanks for the tips vearn27. I will have another go tonite. Hope the latest BIOS will fix the SATA installation issue.
Else, might go for the IDE.

vearn27, you ever try to benchmark the performance of your hard disk in IDE,SATA/AHCI mode using diskbench, sandra etc...
See which one offer the best performance.

i followed vearn27 settings..but my cpuz showed 1.296v at load and 1.232 idle..i was using prime95 instead of orthos..coz someone said that orthos not good to torture quady...

btw, my cpu EIST is on..

at load core temp show..
69 , 65, 66, 69..

i'm using CM factory thermal paste.. no tuniq² will use it in the future and then i hv to naked my rig back

erm y not u disable the EIST n bla bla setting there..gv try

you mean, disable all cpu features except the multicore?? ok..i'll try that

yup..disable all of it..multi core dpend on u coz saw sum ppl disable it sum not..

i did disable all the cpu feature, except the multicore...

result..

cpuz idle - 1.344 V
cpuz load - 1.296 V

max load temp improve for 2 cores only..the rest i dunno why..

68, 62, 68, 63

btw, i didnt plug in the FDP....should i?

the FDP is recommended, no harm done when plug in the connector

Vearn27:

This is the reply from DFI technical support:


See if it helps.

Oh, thanks a lot for helping me out jy14. I didn't know firmware of hdd could be another problematic case as well till I googled up just now . Anyway, my current Seagate 500GB 7200.11 32MB SATA2 HDD running on SD15 firmware and the previous ones, I forgotten . I just reformatted again yesterday back into SATA IDE mode and using different SATA cable on the SATA Port 0. Let see what's my finding this time. If the problem continue to occur, I'll snap in the jumper as mentioned and see how it runs.

bro vearn27, can share ur bios setting? did u update your bios??
just wondering why my idle voltage is high in cpuz...

It could be that your processor has a high VID. Use CoreTemp and tell us what's your processor VID. It is stated there

its 1.3250 in core temp..

Just as I expected, that's the reason that you're getting high VCore reading than mine

My Q6600 has 1.2250 VID compared to yours which is 0.1 higher than me.
