try loosen ur ram timing and up ur vcore....

well,my ram is GMH with CL4 and 2.1vdimm,more than enough....last time i was able to run this setting in my DQ6,DS3,965PT,all mobo able to run it,only this dark power got problem.....maybe this mobo got some cacing inside....

sorry..wanna know wer n how much the mobo cost??

try loosening up your advanced timings, usually that's the limiting factor there. D9's comfortable working range should be about the following

tRFC - 21-30

All Precharge to ACT = use 4

Write to PRE TWR = 10 (upto 840) 11 for upto 1000

TWTR - 9/10

nice info!
thanks bro!
anyway,what if i put auto?

well u can actually go in to windows and on the memset
the write down all the settings showing in the memset and then go to bios n set it

auto might cause 2 things. Either locking up or increased lag. Noticed that the 1st time I touched 400Mhz on auto. Was slower booting then at stock clocks....

sorry asking here, this intel proc es(engeneering sample) work on this mobo, planning to get this mono soon..

according to Shawty, it doesn't. Maybe I'll ask around for you

someone claim ES can be use,B1 stepping,shawty's is B0 or B1?

guys how about 2007/04/24 beta bios

Yerp, it doesn't go well with my previous E6600 ES.
Because when i replace the E6600 ES with my brother E6600 Retail, the system actually boots up.

First, i thought my ES was dead, then i bring my ES to one of my customers house to test the ES.
Turns out that the ES runs good, it's not dead.

That's where i conclude that this board does not support my ES.

**I didn't say it doesn't support all ES processors. I said that it does not support my E6600 ES. Don't know about any other model of ES.

It's B0

thanks for the info...

Yep confirmed B0 no jalan, B1's will boot up on the 965-S Dark. Sorry Shawty, you're out of luck

how come like that ah?
What's wrong for B0 ES until it wont boot with this dark mobo?

i think this kinda question shall mail direct to DFi techie
i dont think we can answer it

Bleh.
At least i got my E6420 with a good batch to play.

The only thing i'm waiting now is the supertalent ram.
It should be arriving tomorrow.

I think its is the core temperature issue. My E6600 es is reading something like 70~85C idle. I know it is a bug because this cpu is running on Swiftech water cooling. When I touch the water block, it is cold. The same cooling on on PentiumD 930 only reads 26 ~ 45C top at load

yeahh, i think so
i believe the sensor detect the chipset temp & not pr0cessor

ANY OF U GUYS EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH A USB DRIVER?MINE CANT LOCATE THE USB DRIVER SO IN THE DEVICE MANAGER MARK !!!!!!!!!!!AT THE HARDWARE AND LIST THAT THE DRIVER FOR THE DEVICE IS MISSING OR CORRUPTED.PLEASE HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP....
