haha...reporting in without the complete 'equipment' yet
anyway...i oso reportin in for duty la

edit:
aiseh...that bro already have his DK P35...didnt notice that...so, u can start post ur oc result la bro vearn...the floor is totally urs

i have to say that it will crash...i don have the xtc one but i do have the AllnGap ram cooler...and on my P35-DQ6 which i think the space between the gfx and the dimm is almost similar, u'll have trouble putting the xtc...mine is made of pvc, so still ok...the xtc is what, alu?but ofcourse, u could slightly, slightly bend or push the gfx so the xtc can firmly grab the dimm
but wait a minute, didnt notice that there's a thumbscrew fitted at the side...with this thumbscrew, u r 100% cannot use it la i think. sorry

wahh...everyone is fired up on with their DK...i prolly setup mine during this CNY...tomorrow (today actually) gonna get the mobo from john...but don think gonna straight away pasang...kinda busy with work right now. anyway, i think i can use that time to scout around for the best setting...

@gsan, come on - post ur setting la so others can use it as a reference.

errrr...a n00b's question: How come my SmartGuardian didnt show the temp or voltage...temp just shown '000' and no value at all for the voltage.
dunno why la...already run it as admin, still got no reading.

how's the chipset temp with the sli/ifx. i got one but yet to install it...maybe during this weekend...my chipset temp is too hi during load la

my mobo has a really serious vcore issue...i've set the vcore in bios as 1.40v (1.25V + 150mV)...vdrop to 1.37v...then vdroop to 1.32v...really hope there will be a volt-mod or some work around on this...this really shock me coz last time wif my DQ6, the vdroop as good as zero.

btw...do you guys plug in the floppy power molex to the FDP?

yup...it's a big diff and really not gonna help me in ocing...i need to 'inteligently calculate' the vcore that i'd need to set in bios to achieve my target...

not that floppy disk drive la bro ...there's a power connector on the box itself called 'FDP'...u can use ur floppy power molex to supply extra power to the mobo...according to the manual, it is meant to supply extra power to stabilize the system when u go for dual gfx. this DK is my second mobo from DFI...last time used the LP UT nF4 Ultra-D...got the same thing. and most people would recommend to plug the power in to help stabilize ur oc.
so, just wanna check whether u guys plug it or not?

for oc purpose, i'd plug in everything i could into the board...just to make sure that u have a nice and stable juice running throughout ur system...

anyway, about the vdroop issue...mine is really bad. but maybe u guys are luckier...just like mfcm said that his only a few mV which is acceptable...
btw, just realize that my Core1 (the second core) is kinda weak...just prime at 3.45G, others ok, but Core2 spitted out error as early as the 2nd minute...mmm...wonder why coz last time ok jek

good and stable running juice == good mobo stability == better for oc...so, for oc, i'd plug it in...

what seems to be the problem? mine working a-ok...can u be specific?
even oc'ed my quad to 3.4G also got no problem...still pushing for higher speed thou

yeah...about this 0.67x, 0.63x blabla...what does it mean actually...saw the UT bios for this gtl...dunno how to translate this 0.67x thingy to the 110 or 111 setting like the UT


btw, i've replaced the stock NB cooler with the HR-05 SLI/IFX...by slightly bend the heatsink, it perfectly snug in between the gfx and the cpu fan. even placed a 80mm fan on it...the temp dropped about 7-10c...idle right now around 43-44c...ok la considering my ambient temp

ran memtest for 24 hrs during my BH-6 days...for burn-in...other than that onli 8 hours...

and i'm currently envy you coz u know why that gtl is so important
i know it is important especially for quaddie but i just dont know how to benefit from it...if using the UT or the RDxx based mobo, u can change the GTL Ref Voltage from say 100 to 110 and other setting, this DK only has 4 setting...0.67x (67%), 0.61x (61%) and another 2 (I think)...i'm totally lost bro...anyway, i'm gonna do the old skool style lah...trial and error...and it will be a lot of errors

mine is also like urs...vdroop around 45 - 50 mV...need to get the exact figure later. btw, how's ur vdrop? mine like another 35-40mV...so basically once the quaddie is on load, the vcore dropped around 80 - 90mV compared to what i've set in BIOS...really not good.

r u referring to me?
well...i'm gonna try to plug in the extra power into the mobo...the FDP one and see how.
btw...havent found any mod yet...maybe the model is too 'young'...

a lot of people is noob...some are intermediate...and very few considered has master the Dark Art of OC!

btw, gonna get me-self a penryn and see how well it oc tonite... ***i smell a quaddy gonna be on sale ***

mmm...sorry la bro;change of plan...all the sudden, the stock got rembat by some other supplier, so my seller could not get any stock...so, sleeping with my quaddy la tonite

both are good hsf...but for xigmatek, try to replace the push-pin (really hate it! ) with the spring loaded bolts like the one used with Ultra 120.

... nice pic and it really tells it all.
love that one...but i think i'm gonna put one 20cents coin between the bracket and the heatsink...just to make it tighter...experimenting!!!

yeah...pretty bad. coz previously i was using the P35-DQ6; and i must say that that board is really stable in terms of voltage. Completed OCCT and the vcore graph shown 0% ripple...idle=load, so when switched to this DK (maybe mine, other seems quite ok), 80-90mV diff between is really frustrating and troublesome for my oc. e.g. last nite, tried to prime my q6600 425x8=3.4G...with DQ6, set the vcore to 1.35 and no problem doing with priming for hours (normally i did > 8 hours)...with DK, i need to set +125mV (vid=1.25v) ==> 1.375v set, vdrop to 1.34v, primed and vdroop to 1.31v...less than half an hour, got error with one of the core. so, back to bios, re-set the vcore...one step higher than +125mV (didnt remember)...this time vdroop to 1.32v...stable for 2 hours testing...this is really dissapointing for me...i gues the others is luckier than i am.

53c is with ur system on load or idle? what about ur ambient temp?probably it got to do with ur ventilation? not sure thou...

Added on February 13, 2008, 8:46 ambro...with XP u have no option but 2:
1. using the normal floppy disk...kaputed edi -- no go
2. using USB Floppy disk -- if u have a notebook one, can use la
3. slipstream the driver into the XP installation...the only way since #1 cannot.

btw, i think even thou u r using the same mobo, this question should go under Technical Support la...follow the link

performance gain...in real life; not sure but i do think it might not be noticeable.

not sure generally, but for my case...very not good one...and due to that (possibly), i have been having a hard time to even getting similar result like the one with my DQ6...so far, not very pleased

Added on February 15, 2008, 7:50 pmactually i also gonna rma my giga mobo...but due to diff reason; all the sudden having problem running dual channel - got BSOD and errors when ran the memtest...


ps: sorry for the OT posting
