anybody here did some self-configure all the DRAM timing settings??

raise your hand plz

How much vdroop you guys get? I see some suffer 0.06v.

Those using D9GMH/D9GKX, mind testing if you can run 4-3-3-9 or 4-4-3-9 450mhz with 2.05v/2.1v or not. What's the lowest tRas it can go? Thanks.

hehehe jus borin n headache today..then try oc n SPi abit

Hi guys,
May I know any pros and cons of this board??

Thanks

-pWs-

reaaady to jump on the other side..

Haha, good thing to try Intel though.

I'd also would like to know the pros n cons. Anyone can sum it up?

DFI LanParty DK P35 T2R-S's latest BIOS

Download - this'll need USB/Floppy disk, it'll format first (backup your current data in USB if got)
Download - flashing BIOS using WinFlash 1.92

BIOS date is March 11, 2008 (11th March 2008) :-

Major change:
Added warning message for over voltage.

wa...so high vcore ka bro... so far ur proc still doin fine ?

@sniper
overvoltage for every type of proc or they set maks voltage then warning message appeared??

no la, they just color the considered-too-high-voltage with red , instead of plain white...

thats my proc..hey you...dun cha so hard...later bomb..haha

haha its been lay beside..didnt use it coz the casing still on goin mod..using another rig now i think np..myb i'll try it out later once im free

wa... macam macam u also got do waiting for ur benchies then

would like to ask, can Xigametk S1283 install on this mobo? will it block the NB heatsink?

yeah they will touch each other..in fact some fins have to be bent like mine..

n i oso wanna ask..noob question..is it safe to increase nb voltage with stock nb heatsink??if yes, then by how much?

thx

guys... just found this... hope this can be useful

this is really useful, especially for those who new to DFI~

hey dude..thx a lot for sharing those links

actually i found it cos i am going to get this mobo soon

its depend on ur temp n vNB..but i advise u put sum fan to blow ur stock NB hsf if u gonna oc..

Is anybody using a PSU with only 4-pin +12v power line to connect to the mobo?

I'm transferring my Blood Iron to my 2nd rig, noted the PSU has only 4-pin 12v, and doesn't fit the CN9 slot indicated in the mobo's manual....

Edit : It fits THE OTHER 4-slots of the 8-pin slots....

i do...



running on dual setup capalang PSU

@mfcm

do i need to flash the mobo 1st before i put my e8400 in this mobo? cos i don have other proc now

Hey, thx for the nice pic.

That's where my 4-pin goes too. However, the manual say THE OTHER 4-slots, which is indicated by the CN9 word.... so how?

Yours have a CN9? Can't see well..... (what does your manual say? )

, seems i don't have that "CN9" thingy...

Hmmm..... don't know whether I want to risk switching on the rig or not.....

I triple check the slots and it fits correctly, just NOT at the CN9 side....

IMO, the 4-pin CPU power is fool proof, meaning you can just plug in and shouldn't be wrong since the one with boxy pin/hole or whatever you call it... won't fit on if-you-know-what-i-meant... sorry, i can't explain ... but don't take the risk la... i won't be responsible... need to confirmation

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I don't want to buy another PSU...... I think I will just plug it in and switch it on (as soon as I get a PCI-E card)..... wish me good luck....

Come to think about it, maybe they just label the whole 8-pin connector as CN9, and not the 4-slots at the side of the CN9....

Anyway, thx for the feedback. Appreciate it.

i think you no need to flash to newer bios as the default bios can take any C2D/C2Q proc.

if you getting E8400, then you can flash it to the latest bios, as i'm also using it and was ok.

by the way, i'm using winflash flash the bios, damn scary as the progress bar showing 4% for over 1minute before
it jump into "flash complete" screen. feeeeewwwwwwwww that was close!!!!!!!!!!!

rgds,

bro kmarc,

what is the next mobo?

I'm now using my RMAed rev 2.0 Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3....

Almost the same capabilities as my blood iron (didn't tweak the bios settings of the blood iron though.....)

I see your OCed E6550 running well.... are you running your Crucial 10th anni 2.3v 24/7...... me chicken to run more than 2.1v....

For Q series, you should go for UT/LT version which allow adjust GTL ref. manually & the Vdroop Control Option

But for dual core, DK is definitely better than DS3 in term of vcore & vdimm. btw, mind to tell me below the info?
For vdimm
BIOS set: BIOS reading: Speedfan reading (idle) : Speedfan reading (full load)

2.3v is for running 3.6GHz with 514fsb @ 4-4-4-8, now running 3.5GHz with 500fsb @ 4-4-4-8, 2.2v

hey bro... thanks alot for ur feedback

just got my mobo just now

now go n pasang n see can work onot

I don't usually go for high-end stuff.... more on value-for-money parts.... that's why didn't buy the UT/LT version.....

Vdimm aaa?
Bios set +0.3v (2.1v) : Bios reading 2.11v
Speedfan (shows as vcore2) idle : 2.13v, load (blend test) : 2.08v

Why you ask?

Weird. I plugged in the 4-pin +12v and OC the same rig, everything seems to be the same as plugging in the full 8-pin....

Same vdroop, same overclocking abilities.....

Update : Hmmmm..... but during stressing... the rig is not as stable... have to lower the OC....

E4500 dun have eh here?

guys.... want to ask... whats the temp for ur chipset for this mobo? as mine will go around 50-54c in the afternoon.... is this considered hot?

smart guardian reported wrongly for chipset and pwm temp.
double check to comfirm that.

chipset can withstand over 70C iirc.

well bro...what other software that u use to double check? everest?

core temp or realtemp , or speedfan also can

so hows ur oc with new mobo?still keep tryin to understand the bios?

yeah...teh bios is kinda hard to understand..

but one thing weird is my proc have base VID of 1.2v with gaygaybyte mobo then have 1.16v with this mobo

but anyways.. i realised this mobo needs slightly higher vcore to obtain the same clock... still tweaking my way thru though....




anyways bro... can i know ur chipset temp?

im not using stock NB cooler..btw for 1.34v vNB i prime 4ghz for 12hours the NB temp 39'C using 3rd party coler

@mfcm, how much for the NB cooler u install in DFI DK?
it's Zalman sink right. it looks cool!

2 all sifus... i hv 1 question. wats d diff between UT, LT, DK series?

---

Added on April 9, 2008, 4:09 amwhich is d highest end series?

@albert
its cost me around 25usd..bought it from US..not zalman..its swiftech NB cooler..yeah really nice..shining full cooper

@bad
the highest wud b UT version..this the flow from low to high version.
DK>LT>UT..the different is the features of the bios n layout..e.g sum got pwm sum not..

bro tkh_1001,

maybe this would help u

http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/overclockin...rs-dfi-add.html

thanks a lot bro... but i actually posted this link few pages back myself already

its just that i am still trying to understand the options punya effect on OCing...

anyways guys... whats ur vdrop n vdroop for this mobo? cos mine i pump in 1.4v @ bios... got 1.34v in window n 1.32v on load....

@tkh
this mobo got large vdrop and vdroop...

i think its apply to quad proc..dual proc just a lilttle..coz i got quite high one
