DFI UT X58-T3EH8 - new 4/28 beta bios = 235Bclk
Been playing with DFI's latest 4/28 pre-public beta bios and it seems to have improved memory clocking stability for Elpida IC modules as well as improved my max H20 cooled bclk validation from 233 on 3/28 pre-public beta bios to 235bclk on 4/28 bios. 4/28 is pre-public beta so flash at your own risk from here.

4/28 bios seems to be more tolerant of very tight subtimings .. so close to sub 9min 32M pi at <3900Mhz!

Terrific news. I've been eagerly waiting for a new BIOS for this board. My chip seems to suffer from some FSB holes and there is one RAM divider that gives me no POST.

Part of the problem is probably that I'm running 12GB. Hopefully they've done a little bit of work on it in that regard...

6x2GB i hear can be tricky.. yet to try 6x2GB myself so no idea how well it handles.

Starting to hit probably thermal limits of my i7 920 3836A756 on H20 cooling as 32M Pi seems to be topping out around 4680mhz with HT disabled. Only managed to shave ~1 second off my best 32M pi time with i7 920.

Did 2 runs on fresh Win 7 64bit RC install I did last night. Only change was CPU VTT voltage needed to pass Hyper Pi 8x 32M vs 4x 32M.
1. 8x 32M Hyper Pi HT Enabled - CPU VTT = 1.44v
2. 4x 32M Hyper Pi HT Disabled - CPU VTT = 1.47v needed more for 4x32M HT Disabled
RTL value for channel A changed when CPU VTT changed from 1.44v to 1.47v

RTL A/B/C = 56/57/58

RTL A/B/C = 55/57/58
http://fileshosts.com/intel/DFI/DFI_...4_htoff_tn.png

Past bioses and tests, I found memory bandwidth in memtest86+ v2.11 was higher with HT disabled than HT enabled, so could explain why more CPU VTT volts is needed for HT disabled.

4//28 looking sweet indeed 8x 32M Super Pi instance via HyperPi @DDR3-2080Mhz 7-8-7-20 1T at 1.725v bios set vdimm = 1.730v real DMM vdimm.

damn, might have to break the old DFI out when i get a chance. see if it can give the Classified a run with these new killer BIOS's. nice results George :up:

although lower but to share the excitement of this bios with the elpidas.. simply amazing
had the whole weekend will labour day to test it..

vtt 1.4v rtl 54,55,57/58 ( trying to bring it down sommore) ( everest read is already at 22.1k atm)

its just nuts this one stupid setting..
and everything turns gold

Thanks Jody... new bios really liking it. DFI making the same improvements on DFI DK X58 too... hopefully goes to DFI JR X58 too as I have that board up next heh.

cstkl1, looking good there mate - thanks to your contributions and findings too that poured there way into this 4/28 beta :)

Thanks :)

Both cstkl1 and my DFI contact suggested with 4/28 bios, I check out setting BOOT Up CPU Base Clock to around 180-185bclk for better perrformance and stability. Seems to work as first test has me reducing my required CPU VTT volts from 1.43v to 1.37v for 8x 32M Pi test!!!!

:cool: :)

Bumped CPU VTT from 1.37v bios to 1.39v bios and IOH/ICH v1.1 from 1.11 to 1.13v for Linx stability :)

First time using HD4870x2 CF on Win7 64bit RC OS and first time I've broken 30K mark in 3dmark06 and did it without even touching GPU/MEM clocks yet! :D
