You forgot to link BIOS 411. Stable BIOs so far but can't OC it yet since I don't have D9's with me. So far on Elpida's boot stable at 400Mhz

erm. . is 411 the latest stable bios? not beta arr?
i'm still a long way to go to fully unleash the potential of this board.. haven't get proc and ram yet.. still on budget parts.. for proc.. i know i'm getting e6300 la.. but ram.. no idea which one's the best buy.. Btw, hit 3.8ghz on pentium D 920 on stock cooling and stock voltage.. not stable though.. died after 20 mins of orthos. |

okie, this is weird.. my proc fan keeps revving up.. even though temp is around 45-50C. It revs up, den slows down, den rev up again.. @.@ any idea why arr? smart guardian shows the fan rev from 2.2k RPM to 3.0k RPM over and over again.
btw, the system is idle.. no load being placed on proc. This post has been edited by raist86: Apr 19 2007, 02:56 PM |

the one shown in the pic is an engineering sample. note the lack of heatsink on the southbridge and liquid caps used. I guess they must've been using a cheaper/test PWM.
Added on April 19, 2007, 10:07 pmbtw, dunno u guys notice or not.. most of the components are solder senget one.. lol. This post has been edited by raist86: Apr 19 2007, 10:07 PM |

Dang nice clocks. You're lucky using D9's. Can't seem to stabilise mine on Elpida's. Currently doing 8*333 instead stock volts but adjusted timings

i'm using original bios,never update anything,cause i heard from shawty said that the newer bios got a bit problem.
Pls take note: this mobo got some compatiblity problem with ES processor and some D9 chipset ram. try ur luck,mine one got no problem with GMH chipset. and one thing,i'm using air cooling only....the temperature is quite hot..... This post has been edited by AceCombat: Apr 20 2007, 02:20 PM |

Hi guys, just got my DFI mobo earlier today. Waiting for teh RAMs from shawty and will grab teh CPU + PSU and GPU (R600 where are you....) later on.
This mobo shouldn't have any issues with the Silverstone Strider ST56F PSU right ? Coz i read a review of the DFI not booting with a 850W silverstone. Anyway, I'm so anxious to get this baby running ! |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Apr 21 2007, 10:50 PM) At the first place, yes i wanted to buy the e6600. oic. I'm still not sure whether to get a E6420 or E6600 (Kingmaker is selling it at RM720). Just wait and see first la. But then, when i think it over, i just want to reach 3.2GHz ler. That's why i just choose e6420. E6420 can reach 3.2GHz easily on stock vcore.

well,let me tell u guys my experience.
i'm using D9GMH,it has no problem with me when wanna oc. but i'm using Enermax 535W psu,macam ada problem,here it goes: when i wanna switch on my pc,(cold boot),the pc will fire up,then after 5 seconds,it shut down.....then only second time boot up (auto boot up),then it will run into POST with no problem,then can run for whole day liao.... i'm not sure what's going on there,even psu also got problem with mobo?i first time experience only....but one thing,the bios reading and smartguardian temperature reading is kinda inaccurated,i use core temp to read,my idle at 3.6GHz only 38c and 36c. (btw,who know how to deactivate the memory self testing in the POST screen there?scanning 4GB of ram is kinda long,and i cant show up full scren logo) |

It's not actually strap recalculating. It's a safe method on ensuring that the BIOS does not get corrupt actually. Those who've frequently OC'ed would realise that too many times in a row changing the clock frequency would lead to some corruption in the BIOS. Sometimes it would mean a cold boot or worse (back when customised BIOS was still in it's infancy) a dead BIOS requiring a hot flash
EDIT: In fact for 965-S users, if you dare to risk a corrupt BIOS, you can opt for a soft reset option by selecting Mode 1 for Exit Setup Shutdown under Genie BIOS section This post has been edited by almostthere: Apr 23 2007, 09:58 AM |

VTT is if I'm not mistaken is your FSB voltage. If you've used 975XBX2, it corresponds accordingly. Based on what other have done, if at high clocks unstable, you'd need to boost it up a bit.Currently doing 8*400 at 1.47v. Seems it's true what they say about the vdroop. A consistent 0.07v drop at load. I can boot stably at 1.4v but when ORTHOS loads up, reboots. Once corrected the vdroop, 1 hour stable so far. But for the time being playing with RAM timings. Tip for you guys, if your rig can't get past POST but everything else runs normally (i.e. you reset your PC and doesn't hang) adjust the tRFC. I'm setting mine at 22 which is the lowest I can go. |

Im running the DFI with an E6600 and a SILVERSTONE 850W and I did encounter boot up problems when I enabled the SPREAD SPECTRUM. I cleared the CMOS and after that everything was fine. This mobo shouldn't have any issues with the Silverstone Strider ST56F PSU right ? Coz i read a review of the DFI not booting with a 850W silverstone. Anyway, I'm so anxious to get this baby running ! |

EDIT: However I'm reading that the new beta 418 BIOS causes a lower vdroop. About 0.01v if upto 1.5v VCORE I'll try my best to find that post of the vdroop measure. But do bear in mind that Intel's spec allows vdroop of between 0.01 to 0.05v This post has been edited by almostthere: Apr 24 2007, 02:22 PM |

Hi guys,
Using the P965-S with the E6300 and D9GMH, but how come when i start, upon completing all software installation, the Smart Guardian and the bios has set the memory voltage to 1.9V ? Coz I thot the default was 1.8V ? Then the memory timing also set to 4-4-4-12. Does it mean that DFI will try to keep the timing as tight as possible for the ram ?? Sorry for my basic questions, noob in DFI. |

Seems the MBM5 mod by FCG of XS isn't working properly for the Dark. Repeated this 3 times to confirm. Every time if I load the MBM5 with the C2D plugin, CPU usage shoots up whereby System process (sub process DPC and H/w IRQ) takes upto 70-80% usage.

get the new SS OP650. Single rail also. I am using it now. No regret at all. p.s. its do support the upcoming x29** ATI card too. need 8 pins plug This post has been edited by irangan: Apr 25 2007, 03:17 AM |

QUOTE([) [][][][],Apr 25 2007, 03:47 AM]icic... If I were you, don't even think about using converters. There was a reason why I emphasized using native 24pin + 8 pin PSU's. It's by no mistake my PC is so far the least problematic among the Dark users here. This is because this mobo is very sensitive to voltage stability like all past DFi's great clockers, so therefore you shouldn't even begin to cut cost there. If you're planning to use a mid range GPU, then just get a good server based PSU which has the native connection I mentioned earlier, stable 12v amperage of about 30A's and above. Brands like for example Delta and HEC. I'm using this for examplebut OP650 is way over my budget. p/s: there must be 8 pin converter just like 6 pin converter for 7 series right. so i guess this ST56F will do for now. i just want to power up my rig ASAP and do above average oc but not kaw kaw. thx for ur opinion. BTW, what is single or dual rail? http://www.cardigan-computer.co.uk/product...atid=40&pid=428 And rails is like voltage lines. Good PSU's have 3 individual rails, particularly +3.3v, +5v and +12v. After that there are PSU's which even have sub rails meaning the +12v would be split down even further meaning there would be +12v1, +12v2, and so on P.S.: Even if you don't use a G80 GC, plugging in that floppy power connector is a good idea. Made my rig more stable. Last time needed 1.48v like that for my current clocks but now does it at 1.42v with C1e enabled QUOTE(Ciku @ Apr 25 2007, 05:16 AM) Got many reviews about it, just google.

Regarding the power recycling thing, I believe you guys still experienced it right ? Whenever I turn on my pc, it will on for 2-3 seconds and then shutdowns itself and on back after that. LoL ~~~ I wonder will there be any fixes for this ? I read from somewhere that the P965 chipset with a revision C2 solves this problem.

It's a safe method on ensuring that the BIOS does not get corrupt actually. Those who've frequently OC'ed would realise that too many times in a row changing the clock frequency would lead to some corruption in the BIOS. Sometimes it would mean a cold boot or worse (back when customised BIOS was still in it's infancy) a dead BIOS requiring a hot flash This post has been edited by sup3rfly: Apr 25 2007, 10:58 AM |

And since running a 7900GS, more then enough for meQUOTE([][][][][] @ Apr 25 2007, 03:01 PM) the PSU i might buy hav that 8 pin connector.so it is ok right? Should be as long the amperage are good. Single rail by marketing terms would mean that there would be only one +12v, instead of +12v1, +12v2 and bla bla bla. Good PSU's would have at least the 3.3/5/12v all running on individual rails. It's recommended that at all times the floppy is plugged in for increased stability. My PC now can run at lower voltages due to the increased voltage stability. u mean that if the PSU hav single rail,then all the voltage lines are combined? if i use a mid range gc, is it recommended to plug the floppy connector also? thx. |

D9's comfortable working range should be about the followingtRFC - 21-30 All Precharge to ACT = use 4 Write to PRE TWR = 10 (upto 840) 11 for upto 1000 TWTR - 9/10 This post has been edited by almostthere: Apr 25 2007, 08:16 PM |

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

Besides that, have you made sure your WB is making 100% contact with proc? |

That's why it just need a 4 pin power connector. Even my old ASUS P5WD2-E-Premium motherboard also uses 8 pin power. And FYI, some motherboard even put up a 4 pin molex power connector to provide the motherboard with a more stable power. |

My E6600 is week 29, F125 batch (L629F125). Packing date 1/31/2007. Google says it seems to be able to clock pretty good.
Here's hoping it can do at least 3.2Ghz on the P965-S. |

Not sure if this is a problem......
My readings under smart guardian during idle for ATX+12V is 11.96V. But whenever i perform stress test (super pi or stress prime), the ATX+12V jumps to 12.03V. Even vcore jumps from 1.24v to 1.4v. As i recall, amd64 readings for the above normally stays the same or drop slightly.... not go up. Me still noob at C2D..... For amd64 can disable the 'cool n quiet' function. Is there anything i should disable in bios to make the mobo or cpu to run at max performance/voltage? Currently running my E6420 in bios vcore @ 1.4V at 3.2ghz |

I linked this last time but seems the topic has sunk down somehwre alreadycorrect me if im wrong http://thetechrepository.com/showthread.php?t=30 In other words, ths straps adjusts automatically for these boards and between ranges: 267 - 332Mhz = 1066Mhz 333 - 399Mhz = 1333Mhz 400 and above = 1600 Mhz The only difference one sees between the 965 and 975 (which is the overclocking limiter for 975) is that a 1600Mhz strap exists. However, how the DFi works is yet to be known but I have a feeling chipset latency's have been relaxed somewhat at 1067Mhz strap so that it is able to OC higher without compromising too much the bandwidth This post has been edited by almostthere: Apr 28 2007, 12:04 PM |

currently i hav 2 choice in my mind: 2x1GB Gskill F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ (DDR2-800) 2x1GB OCZ XTC Platinum Rev2 (DDR2-800) the gskill 1 can clock quite well, in the review from vr-zone, not sure about the ocz, cant find any review in google. so which set did u guys prefer? |

I'd rather have the GSkill because at least it's been known to do upto 533Mhz FSB over at XS. The XTC Platinum rev. 2 seems a bit harder to clock since they bin those RAM's ngam-ngam niacurrently i hav 2 choice in my mind: 2x1GB Gskill F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ (DDR2-800) 2x1GB OCZ XTC Platinum Rev2 (DDR2-800) the gskill 1 can clock quite well, in the review from vr-zone, not sure about the ocz, cant find any review in google. so which set did u guys prefer? |

Unless you can confirm the chip's the OCZ uses, I can't say much. For the time being, my pick would be Crucial's Ballitix's as at least they're Microns (Yeah Crucial is Micron's marketting arm)

there has been much talk going on in XS concerning with the balistix 8000/8500. 1st because of it's price 2nd it's on of the best DDR2 oc ram out there.
irev210 QUOTE 1) this is the best ram i've ever tested 2) well, you will see kemo6600 QUOTE i have some thing to say ,,, be patient guys about yours 8500s kits because it will smoke any memory kit you know even those 600$ kits + there is some GKX floating around in those kits ,,, if not all of them |

Any reasonable explanation why? Due to plugging in the floppy molex or your house AC outlets stabilized already?

If I were you guys, I'd wait for FCG to update his MBM5 plugin as that's quite reliable and accurate for general purpose. The only problem why I can't recommend one to use it now is because the core temp driver seems to cause the CPU usage to shoot up quite high

Just got my system up and running today.
Will tweak tommorow! Update: Currently running it at 320x9 = 2883Mhz @ stock vcore, DDR2 @ 802Mhz @ 1.9V Running hot @ ~60 degrees. Man, i need a better cooler. System temp is way high too. Well, here are some pics: Cpu-z 
At 3.06Ghz : 
Super pi 1M is ~ 17sec @ 3Ghz and 18++sec @ 2.88Ghz I also tried running the RAM (shawty's Super Talent bulk) @ 960Mhz @ 1.95v (hope i'm not killing the RAM). 
And a Smart Guardian pic, i too get the srange voltage readings from my ST56F 
I haven't meddled with the DRAM timings yet. Any suggestions ? Also any HSF/cooler suggestions. Panas la. Update: Seems my case air flow sucks big time. It runs much cooler with the side panel off. Hmmmmm. more work there. This post has been edited by Eoma: Apr 30 2007, 04:29 PM |

Arghhh, got a dreaded BIOS checksum corrupt earlier when I meddled with the DRAM timings (4-4-4-10 @ 962Mhz). Had to clear the CMOS then phew it worked again. I've forgotten how "aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhrrrrrhhhhhhh" OC-ing can be.
So it's sitting pretty at 320FSB @ stock vcore and DDR2-962Mhz @ 1.95v. Now itchy to flash the BIOS.... |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Apr 30 2007, 09:54 PM) What kind of timing u've used to reach that kind of speed at that kind of voltage? Timings ? Left them at SPD, which cpu-z shows as 5-5-5-15, 2T command rate.2:3 ratio, 480.6Mhz. Anybody getting "Out of memory error" in the Sisoft Sandra X1 SP1a Memory benchmark ? wierd la.

FYI now the ratio terbalik liao.... by adjusting it you are actually upping ur ram speed not like the good o'day u need to set ram divider to limit ur ram speed to get higher clock speed... very dont understand ehh ps: its aint similar to amd system ait?

Left them at SPD, which cpu-z shows as 5-5-5-15, 2T command rate. hey Eoma i suggest u to use 1:1 1st and then set all the timing auto then boot into windows...open the memset.... write down everything there in a piece of paper and then adjust it in the bios then try to boot in to windwos and run whatever bench that u used to test stability, if stable then tighten them from there...i think 1st thing u need to do is to play around with ur FSB 1st..... thats why i ask u to set ur divider as 1:1 (533) and set a looser timing...thats is how i usually OC 2:3 ratio, 480.6Mhz. Anybody getting "Out of memory error" in the Sisoft Sandra X1 SP1a Memory benchmark ? wierd la. Coolice: Ehehe. wait la. This is to prevent ur ram to throtting you FSB as most of the benchmark depend more on CPU speed more than the ram speed and timing, nowadays timing plays a smaller role than cpu speed... put the higher cpu speed u can get as the highest pririoty 1st... p/s: dont change any value in memset, just write them down and then set it in bios.... sifus if i say something wrong plz correct me ya This post has been edited by sup3rfly: May 1 2007, 09:46 AM |

i tried installing windows xp, then at a certain stage error came up. something about couldn't find catalog something... the only thing i changed in bios is setting the nb strap to 266... is it that setting that caused this prob?? |

hurmm, in commando i cant see the limit set for RAM
only avail the adjustable value which is default 266 where user able to key any value they would like to &; another option where the select able option speed(MHz) already there such 533, 667, 800, 1600 -- is this what u all mention bout? |

It seems like PC Wizard 2007 is not compatible with our boards ler.
As when i use the ITE Smart Guardian software that comes in the driver cd, it shows my +12V rails as 11.96Volts. Seems like PC Wizard 2007 is not compatible with DFI Infinity P965-S after all. |

Almost and the other sifus: Even after selecting CPU Fan 100% in the BIOS, the CPU fan still stays dynamic , starting at ~1.5krpm and goes higher as needed. Something wrong ar ?
p/s: What are the latest changes in the 424 BIOS ? |

You need to attach a cooling fan on top of the black Northbridge heatsink, then your system temperature will read as per normal. I mean below 45Creally meh ? This is what I did using an old Pentium 3 Cooling fan with the used of celotape to attach it on top of the cooler. Works perfect like a charm Currently waiting of my C2D E6600 to really test my rig. At the moment manage to push the RAM to 500Mhz stable 24/7. |

I notice some settings discussed in the DFI forum are not available on the stock BIOS, i.e the DLK settings in DRAM timing. |

QUOTE(almostthere @ May 6 2007, 05:11 PM) erghhh tricky this one. Have you set optimised settings before doing anything? If yes, after that did you set Enhanced Data Transmitting & Enhanced Addressing hmm didn't see that setting in bios, i'll try setting that first as Fast? but y should default settings would affect already system stability?? not everyone would know AceCombat : do u mean run single channel?? i'll try that too. sorry for the late replies, major prob at workplace... some more got on tv |

My guess is your Team RAM's may have a few quirky subtimings. Try either to run it at Default or Optimised settings to see how. Shouldn't be an issue unless SPD info is out of spec (Reminds me of GSkill and Geil) but y should default settings would affect already system stability?? not everyone would know AceCombat : do u mean run single channel?? i'll try that too. sorry for the late replies, major prob at workplace... some more got on tv |

Sifu's, i tried doing 500 x 6 (i'm fine for just 3Ghz at the moment) in order to get 1:1 with the RAMS. System loads up to the POST page, then doesn't proceed to the Vista loading screen. Off and on again (and a couple of resets in between) and it does proceed, though I didn't let it load windows all the way, i entered the BIOS and backed off the settings.
Do i need a vcore or NB voltage boost for 500Mhz fsb ? and at what recommended levels ? Currently both cpu and NB are at stock volts. Tq. p/s: Or should i be trying for something else other than 500x6 ? bear in mind at 334x9=3.06Ghz, my temps are 49 at idle and 60+ in load. I dunno lah, it just won't go cooler with this stock HSF. |

Why it doesn't detect properly is because for XP SP2, they physically set an addressing limit of about 3.5Gb due to some security vulnerabillity. Want full 4Gb detection? Install XP SP1a instead. Or you could try adding a /pae argument into your boot.ini file http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platf...PAE/PAEdrv.mspx However a theoretical limit still applies whereby total physical memory addressable for 32bit OS with PAE enabled is 2^36 This post has been edited by almostthere: May 10 2007, 01:26 PM |

Seems you have to do soemthing drastic which is to hard reset the mobo and pray nothing is wrong after that. If that doesn't solve it, you've got no choice but to RMA the mobosingle channel won't work, dual-channel won't work as well. single stick or 2 sticks the addressing settings don't work. manually setting the timing setting won't work either so wat's wrong wit my rig now |

@jslut
Can your mobo detect your LAN card? If yes, most likely is software problem and not your mobo problem. If not, try reinstall latest driver or flash the bios. If still cant, your LAN chip damaged. RMA needed. About your dual channel, DFI mobo is real picky on ram. Try to use other ram and test Just my opinion. |

Actually this board loves supertalent RAMs. I think you can try reinstall LAN driver, reinstall windows, or even zero filling your hard drive then start over again before going for RMA, my good old rig (socket A, which now im still using) have the similar prob before.

Just updated to BIOS 424 (it's not beta anymore).
Still no go at 500x6.0. Hmmm, what do i need to increase ar ? I've also just attached the 5v floppy power connector. Looks like it's still going to be 334x9 @ 3.06Ghz for me. It's still plenty fast, but... p/s: Reset + Insert to clear the CMOS ? Is that correct ? |

EOMA, you should try this:
The same as my setting. 400 X 8 @ 500MHz DDR @ 4-4-4-12 vcore +1.00mv vNB @ 1.46V vTT @ 1.3V vDIMM @ 2.25v I manage to reach 3.2GHz with my E6420 with the Supertalent PC2-6400 DDR2 800MHz 2GB Kit 4-4-4-12 ram. Be sure to set both of the "Enhance Data Transmitting" & "Enhance Addressing" in the Dram Timing setup page to "Normal" Here's the picture: **Picture is a courtesy of windwithme  See that "Enhance Data Transmitting" & "Enhance Addressing" option? Set both of them to "Normal", then i believe u can reach 400X8 @ DDR500MHz @ 4-4-4-12 Owh, before i forget, set the Dram Speed in the 1st Genie Bios Setting to 667MHz. The Dram Speed option in Genie Bios Setting should be in this page like the picture below: Here's the picture: **Picture is a courtesy of windwithme  Try it out.

Thanks man. The Enchance Data Tx and Enhance Addressing give a speed boost when set to Fast. I'll try it out when I have the time. Plus, I want to maintain a 1:1 ratio if possible, so I'll probably set the DRAM to auto or 533Mhz.

well,bro Shawty said is true,i also put them to normal cause in fast,the mobo will boost the ram speed automatically during load,this will cause the system unstable,either bsod or restart in the half way. |

Tries to change my PSU from Intel 550 Watts to NMB Xeon Server PSU 460 Watts True power. But the Mobo just would not boot.
Measure all the voltage from both 12Volt rail, 3.3 volt and 5 volt all seems to be reading very accurate with my DMM. Can anyone tells me what is the minimum watts requirement for this mobo |

Have you done a soft reset of the BIOS before installing the new PSU? And have you plugged in the floppy molex in too? Mine is a HEC server class 460W PSU and booted up fine first time run

How to do a soft reset of the Bios ?
I tried connecting all molex except the hard disk and CD rom. No floppy is being used here. And still will not boot. I think it has to do with the timing of soft ps on line. Press INSERT during boot to clear CMOS still will not boot. Don't know why ? This NMB Server PSU is very solid build. just like the INTEL Server PSU. |

QUOTE(almostthere @ May 21 2007, 11:19 AM) soft reset is to unplug 24 pin, jumper CMOS clear jumper 2-3 for a minute and then plug back in. And floppy molex as in plug into the mobo itself. Tried the soft reset when changing the psu. Same problem, still will not boot.What I noticed are:- The INTEL PSU Fan will start up at maximum speed, indicating that the psu must be trying to pump up the amp during start up. While the NMB PSU does not do that. That means this INFINITY requires a very high current to start up. Don't know how many amps for each rails. Added on May 21, 2007, 12:50 pmAnybody tried running TAT (Intel Thermal Analysis Tools) with the new C2D Retail. I don't seems to be able to run this program on both my C2D E6320 and E6600. It gives error message like 'Error enumerating On Demand Clock Modulation support.' Anyone tried it. This post has been edited by chek: May 21 2007, 03:45 PM |

server class psu..... well,ur psu should be no problem for ur rig,try to soft reset like bro almostthere said. but for me,i think u better take off the batt and discharge the rest electric on ur mobo,then unplug ur power cord to let it drain 10 minutes,then attach back the batt and fire up with minimal hardwares installed.(this is not soft reset) got any updates?

Ish, such bad luck this day. Now my board's LAN isn't functionting well. After a restart, Windows prompt me to reinstall ethernet controller, but unable to. A force dirver install will prompt me the device cannot be start, an error occured. Reformat Windows is a no go as well. Wanna ask if Alphamatic got any 1 to 1 exchange for goods that is less than a week old?

500x6 still no go, even with the Enchanced memory settings set to Auto, although I did mess with 2 other settings; the DDR configuration mode (mode 3) and GTL driving strength (mode 2). Hmm, had to reset the CMOS after that. The reset + insert trick doesn't work oso. How long to press, is there any audio clues that it's working ?
Will try more combinations this wekeend la (maybe). |

Anyone tried it. http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/192672...-about-tat.html QUOTE(MuNcHeR23) After all the talk of TAT and CoreTemp, T_case and T_junctions, i thought i would just see what Intel has to say about this.. I received an E-mail, and also spoke to a gentleman on the phone..Tho somethings he said went beyond my exp... What i did understand: First off Intel says if you own an INTEL mobo, you should use this link and DL their monitor system.. http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/software/idu/ This is for INTEL motherboards only. It will not work with 3rd party boards with Intel chipsets.. For the rest of us, here is what Intel says we should do.. Find a trusted 3rd party monitor (speedfan lets say)..Now go to this link from Intel http://processorfinder.intel.com/default.aspx Fill in your cpu info...Find your "THERMAL SPECIFICATION".... The temp. listed under "Thermal Spec" is your T_case max temp..So if you use SpeedFan (happens to monitor T_case) you should see accurate T_case temps...Just keep them below what Intel states is your Thermal Spec.... Probably the most important info i got from our phone call was this.. TAT was made by a 3rd party for the Pentium M's, and should NOT be trusted to read correctly for all cpu's..Even C2D's....Tho some cpu's and TAT may read correct, others cpu's may not... He gave reasons why, but honestly i can't say that i understood and therefore can't re post what reasons he gave...Something to do with the T_junction and TCC...IDK..Something about no T_junction on the C2D's i think, only a TCC that can either be an 80c or 100c TCC...like i said, he talked well above me...sorry. Bottom line is this DO NOT USE TAT....Use a reliable 3rd party software that reads T_case.. Then keep that reading below the recommended Thermal Spec. that Intel provides.. DO NOT USE a 3rd party software that reads T_junction as Intel says that still can give incorrect readings... ALSO this was said....TAT is still a good 100% load tester for stock systems...Intel said that TAT will not damage cpu's at stock, but can not say that for OC'ed systems..Damage could happen if your oc is too high and TAT runs too long at 100%.. Just for ref. If anyone owns a C2D on a Intel brand motherboard, could you download Intel's Desktop Utility Software and run it with SpeedFan to let us know if they read the same or not? Thanks.. Hope this helps....I am sure someone with more exp. and knowledge than me will have some things to say on this.. This post has been edited by almostthere: May 24 2007, 08:00 PM |

Hmmm, even after trying Shawty's suggested settings (400x8), I can't get it to post into Vista at all. I get an OS corrupt message.
My system does work fine at 350x9 though for DDR2 1044 @ 2.2v. (i'm sure 2.1v woudl work as well). The rest are at stock vcore (although Orthos failed after 5 secs, an invcrease in vcore should fix that). Some screens: 
With this, I get around 8.6k score in Everest mem read. and a super pi of 16.598secs. Dunno how to proceed, though i might want to get a better cooler. noctua uh-12f ok ? |

CPU-Z will only read vcore <1.4v real. Any value higher than that will shows you 1.2v++. You can use ASUS Probe for Asus mobo or Smart Guardian for DFI. Also, Speedfan is another choice for every mobo.

Just set up the rig, initially everything was good. Memtest a few hours @ stock vcore E6420 @ 3.2ghz, ddr800 everything auto. After that, I changed the dram timings to 4-4-3-auto in bios and 2.2v bios, supertalent t800ux2gc4, memtest was good and i rebooted. Upon rebooting, the mobo gives a error one long beep and nothing else happens. So I went clearing bios and boot up fine with default settings. Then i hot reboot again the same thing happened again, one long beep, nothing else. SO i turned off a while then turn on from cold boot, everything ok, then hot reboot same thing happened. And now, cleared bios, cold boot, the mobo gives a long beep, nothing happens, even clearing the bios doesnt do. Any advice? bios corrupted?
btw: soft reset doesnt seems to work for me (stock bios), hold insert+reboot, have to manually reset, so will this damage the bios chip? This post has been edited by anangryorc: Jun 2 2007, 07:49 PM |

Guys, have you ever wonder what's that system temp in the smart guardian software refers to which part of the motherboard?
Yesterday, when there is no activity on my pc neither a fan blowing on top of my southbridge heatsink, the temps goes up to 48degrees. Then, out of curiosity, i tried cooling the southbridge heatsink with a powerful 2500RPM 92MM Fan. And guess what, the temps on the "System" drop like crazy. The temp drop to 34degrees! System Temperature without any fan blowing to southbridge heatsink: 48degrees System Temperature with a 92MM fan running at 2500RPM blowing to southbridge heatsink: 34degrees Sorry if this sound old to you, but this is a new thing for me.

Actually I am looking or trying to DIY a heatsink to place on top of all the power regulators beside the cpu.
Maybe that will help. I have a fan that keep blowing these regulators |

No HR-05 SLi please, it's overkill for the southbridge. |

Dear DFI Dark owners,
just installed my mobo this morning...eveything is plugged in including the floppy onto the board to ensure stability...press the power...no go, kept on recycling...disc the hardisks (left 2 only)...no go as well...re-sit the ram...no go...took out the SB Audigy...no go...it kept on recycling on and off...clear the cmos...same oso...any ideas? and pls dun ask me to flash the mobo to the latest bios, since i couldnt make it boot up... worked fine on my DS4...the only new thing is the proc but before i come to conclusion that the proc is the culprit, think better ask the pros here... |

Stock northbridge heatsink is really really weak.
Running at 1.35volts with stock northbridge heatsink at 65°C. Now that i've changed the heatsink to PCCooler HB-771s northbridge heatsink, the temps drop to 40°C! That's a very huge temperature drop. Stock Northbridge heatsink on 1.35Volts: 65°C PCCooler HB-771s on 1.35Volts: 40°C |

Try this to confirm about it. First, let the southbridge run on passive mode, check the system temperature in the smart guardian program, take a note of it. Then, direct a fan blowing directly to the southbridge, check the system temperature in the smart guardian program again, then see if the temps drop or not. To me, yes the system temp shows the southbridge temperatures. Try it on your Infinity board. |

Just place a 40mm fan blow direct on the sourthbridge. But the system temperature still hover at 45~47c seems to be the same as b4.
Placing a 120mm fan blow direct to the southbridge area. Temperature reads below 40C. Don't know where is the culprit Added on June 12, 2007, 9:41 pmFinally found, where the System Temperature Sensor... Just place a small heatsink on top of the Fan control temperature chip located above the 3 pci slot. Chip no : IT8718F Without any fan blowing the south bridge, and the system temperature reads between 38 to 43C This post has been edited by chek: Jun 12 2007, 09:41 PM |

Alright, will try that next.
On other related matters: I've managed to drop my HDD temp (~10c drop) by putting a coolermaster 80mm fan directly underneath, glued to the drive cage. I've also glued another case fan (but the air flow's too weak) to the casing floor blowing upwards to the SB and GTX. It *seems* to have dropped the SB by ~7c (59c to 52c). p/s: Shawty, yeap, that's the Supertalent DDR2 800Mhz RAM I bought from your bulk. Excellent dude ! |

Just set up my second rig of P965-S with a new retail Core2Duo E6600. Noticed something perculiar about the new C2D Batch No : L706A498 Packing Date 4/4/2007.
This new c2d keep changing its multiplier to 6x even I have lock it to 9x. Only heavy stress will the cpu trigger the 9x This new c2d does not even allows me to clock it to 340FSB where my other batch of c2d L629F125 easily touch 380 FSB without giving any problem at all. Tried raising the Vcore to 1.42, same problem still exist. Supprising the vcore will automatically switch to 1.21 once its multiplier is set to 6x and show vcore 1.42 at 9x Anybody encounter the same problem here?

Typing mistake Ace. It reads batch no : L629F125. Thank you for pointing that out.
The C1E already been disabled, and it is lock by the DFI bios, no way to change it. Is this how a bad batch core2duo looks like ? I got a feeling INTEL place a locking mechanism to limit the core2duo max frequency but I noticed the system did post, just got weird when starting to load up windows.

Nanti la, aku tgh run kat 450X9 ni.so, how's the proc doing? tak nampak post apa2 lagi pun... Tgh cari setting subtiming paling stable untuk ram aku bila run kat 900MHz. Taktau subtiming apa yang terbaik bila ram run kat 900MHz. Tgh test, test, and test. Dah jumpa subtiming terbaik, aku post la kat sini. |

Anyway, first and foremost, update bios ko ke 0424, banyak setting unblock guna bios 0424. Stock bios banyak benda kena tutup. |

got a weird problem here again, need some advice?
after i put my rig to 320*9 ~ 2.88ghz, i manage to run super PI32M but orthos cannot go for more then 10 sec......but gaming and everything is fine ok so i let it be, then weird problem again when i try to startup it up again later, no reaction at all...... try clear the bios, USB device all unplug no use... and finally reset the ram it alive again....... btw i let the ram in default setting of 5,5,5, 18......could it be the ram problem ?

Ram problem. You should think of using Crucial Ballistix or Crucial Ballsitix Tracer. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |
