Recently, there are two new chipset released in market.
They are Nvidia's 650/680i and ATI's RD600.
The performance of both the board is real good.

DFI LANParty UT ICFX3200 T2R/G adopts ATI RD600 chipset

Most of the enthusiasts realized that DFI LANParty series has a very good OC
performance.
Moreover, BIOS settings is also fabulous...

Frankly, I'm personally not drive the board well from very beginning. But after
I've found the knack to this board, I was getting better and better each
time I OC.
I'd like to share some tricks about BIOS of this board to you guys. We can
start from FSB500 and DDRII 1200 as a basis. Coz, DRAM settings of this
mobo is totally separate from CPU.
So, if you got a very good memory, you might capable to create a new
history record.

Let's get to the point here:
About voltage setting, the most important thing that we have to do is to rise
up FSB.
Therefore, you have to take these voltage options: CPU VTT, NB CORE, NB
PLL, and NB Core.

CPU's FSB 500/ DRAM frequency: 601/ PCIE 100.

The DRAM adjusting options:
DDRII 1200 CL4-4-4-9 2T, the others of below options are the "performance optimized" options.

The detail of my test bed
CPU:INTEL Core 2 Extreme X6800
MB: Nvidia nForce 680i SLI
DRAM:DFI LANParty UT ICFX3200 T2R/G
VGA:ELSA GLADIAC 790GS PH2 256DT
HD:Seagate 7200.7 160GB
POWER:Corsair HX620W Modular Power Supply
Cooler:TT Big Typhoon VX

FSB500/ DDRII1200 is the starting point.

The first memory modual:
Mushkin Tuner XP Redline
The default setting: DDRII 1000 CL4 5-4-11

Actually, after I've set the 1st & 2nd memory to run in DDRII 1200(1GB x 2)

Then, the 3rd one I tried whether the voltage can be a bit lower or not (by
512MB x 2)
Finally, it ends up with a "about the same" result. It seems this model is not
better than the 1st and 2nd one.


The 4th memory modual
CORSAIR Dominator TWIN2X2048-8888C4DF
Default: DDRII 1111 CL4 4-4-12

CPU is in FSB 511status
DDRII 1200 CL4 4-4-9 2T 2.35V(BIOS:2.37V)
Ends up in Super PI 32M
