no i'm running 2x2 + 2x1 teamgroup.. they rated the same, PC8500 CL5 2.1-2.2v :up: currently 1066 2.0v.. these for temporary.. 4x2GB is im after next, probably right before new year:p:.. but i havent decide whtas best.. do you think there are 4x2GB ddr 8500 can speed up to 1100 or more at decent voltage? NBs not really an issue, this board has quite good temp at high voltage
hmmm I got good speeds out of 4x1gb on this board once with d9gkx, but its hard to say. maybe go with this new g.skill that looks absolutely dirty for OCQuote:

If I hadn't just committed to ddr3 on my next board I would be all over it myself :)
that set is nice it might just do close to 1200mhz tooQuote:

btw you guys should be on 602 or 603 its way faster
soon as i get more time i'm over with x38 n goin back to my ut p35
yeah prolly one o the best mem to get dirty:p:, problem is.. its very rare in my country and i had to pay quite exp for shipping.. i only get these cheap team xtreem dark 8500 to test my E84 above 520fsb on this board:up: been using "not so good" corsair 6400 DHX C4 that did good enough with this board, 1020 4-4-4-12.. above that, wont post! even looser timming :p:Quote:

7/25 bios

but i love this mobo too much to get tortured:p: i wantto keep it in shape for my daily tasks.. giving my abitX38 and P35 DQ6 a hard time:rofl: still, not as good as this one:up:
is there a noticable overclocking difference between dfi's p35 and x48 board?
get the new ut p45, its the best we've seen so far :up:Quote:

If u cant wait, u can order it right here: http://www.hpm-computer.de/product_i...-P45-T2RS.html, shipping is cheap to the UK ( 12.90euro) and u will receive it within 2 days after paypment.Quote:

well I had my Q6600 @ 3.8ghz on my p35 so I'm hoping this board can upgrade that a little bit.
Man, I have such a terrible Q6600. It's absolutely ridiculous. Too bad I blew all that cash on this amazing board
only to pair it with such a stinker :shakes:
Highest settings I tried tonight were 1.46 vcore, 1.42 FSB VTT, 1.36 NB.
That's with perf level set at 8, 5-5-5-15-54, at 1:1 400mhz.
I couldn't even get 9x400 3600mhz stable in OCCT or P95 with those settings... And that's all under water.
Honestly, think I'm just gonna stick with 3.2 ghz at this point. Too depressing to bother with this thing anymore :rofl:
And as a sidenote. Hitting 80c on the mosfets is alright is it not? AKA the "system" temp. I had read that they're designed to work fine up until 100c or so.
And let me tell you... When you have a crap Q6600 and have to really pump those volts, the temp rockets up fast.
ye need more power scotty! the Q6600 is a tank, you really cant kill itQuote:

1.62 VCORE
1.6 VTT
1.64 VNB
get those GTLs up around 70% for the best prime stability.
as far as the mosfet temp goes, are you using a backplate for the CPU????? if not then this is the reason for your bad mosfet temps. if you haven't already, get a slim 80mm from performance-pcs (Hiper brand) and get that sucker blowing on the PWM heatsink ASAP.

So you would disagree? What would you put as the "safe limit" for 24/7? I had thought 1.4, but maybe 1.5? Even as you said above, 1.6?
Northbridge I shouldn't need higher than 1.35 or so at the most should I? Only running 400mhz FSB and relaxed timings so far.
And GTL's. I have to be honest, I've been OC'ing for a fairly long time, but I have absolutely no idea what exactly these are or how to manipulate them.
You're saying put all 3 at 70%? I guess it's probably not going to be so easy as "here's the best numbers for that CPU" as all CPU's are a little different, but is there a pretty consistently good setup for Q6600's in general?
I do have a backplate, so don't think the board has flexed much. As for a fan. I'll have to pick one up next time I can. In the short term should I be fine though? I've heard 120c - 160c max, so they must be able to take temps without much issue no?
Thanks for the info. I've always felt very close to achieving 3600 mhz on this board with this chip, but I always get frustratingly close and give up.
Hopefully I can just get it this try :D
hmmm I'll try to answer all these.Quote:

- once you get air moving over the PWMs you will be MUCH better off, find a makeshift way now if you can, any way, then get a fan that I mentioned before for a long term solution.
for GTLs its pretty hard to explain simply but try setting this
140 gtl ref 0/2
132 gtl ref 1/3
115 nb ref
with 1.6 vtt
-as far as safe limits go keep your temps under control and your within safe boundaries, you really cant hurt the q6600 in my experience. I did some pretty brutal things to mine while I had it and it never let me down
Alright well I'm gonna hit it fresh tomorrow and start again. I'll try being a little less scared on the volts.
Ever since my E6600 spontaneously died a couple years back I've been really cautious with C2D/Q.
Thanks again. Hopefully I'll be able to update with some decent results.
I dont think you can kill it with Vtt at all, just dont get TOO happy with the Vcore, make sure your temps are always in line and keep the increments you go up by small. good luck :up:
Okay well just finished hooking up my board and.....nothing! Tried only hooking up the 24-pin and 8-pin and nothing standby power led is on and so is the dram power led. Nothing posts on the code screen PSU doesn't even power up. Any ideas or helpful tips do you need both 4-pins on the MB hooked up? PSU was tested and no problems.
i learned a new trickQuote:

soon it will be hibernating again
I know this was probubly my mistake but it was an open box from newegg does anyone know if they test there boards before reselling them? I have jumper set to reset cmos and pulled the battery and going to have it sit for a bit.
I've bought Open Box before never had any issues, but you may have been the chosen one.Quote:

If nothing appears on the Code display pretty sure it's RMA time.
