Got the board a few days ago and i have to say an absolute DFI name worthy product.
A b*tch to figure out the thing but once you have the absolute best choice for the extreem user !!:yepp:
This is what i achieved just now :)

8x 475= 3800 Mhz Quad Core OCCT Stable :clap:
Does this board got Vdroop, and does the vdroop control works like on the P5K Deluxe, if it droop by how much from idle to load? And another thing, does this board overvolt the (RAM)DIMMs?
Well the bios offers an option for Vdroop control and it works as long as you put it at disabled ..... (disabled actualy enables it little bug :D )Quote:

Great CPU speeds... crazy that the Super Pi does not reflect the speeds though...
Start to take confidence with the new CellShock and P35, just a fast 4M run:
http://www.pctuner.info/up/results/_...am6125-4-4.jpg
Not easy to find the best settings...
Now I'm working for 32M stable...
The CellShock is not an impossibility on this board. But to run them requires an excessive amount of board and memory voltage, unlikely to achieve 24/7 stability over 1100MHz and won't run 4-4-4 at 1200MHz which they easily do with other chipsets.
That's right:(Quote:

well you can use clockgen (that comes with the board) or use SetFsb prog.. personally i always overclock from the bios and fine tune from windows .Quote:

Any1 got some Crucial Ballistix running on this board, how are they doing in therms of overclocking ?
I have 4x1GB Ballistix Tracer 1066, havent got to OCing them yet though.
Probably super loose board strap to get CPU overclock?Quote:

hmmm maybe i should change my cooling :)
i wonder if it would've been possible for DFI to put a clear-CMOS switch on the rear...instead of just pressing the Reset button for 4 secs or jumping it.
@VenomCrusher......Now... raise you're Multi to X8 and use the 4:5 Divider and see whats what. Also what kind of Vdimm did you have to use?

Yes!!:) Read the manual.........@ that:D
But there are times that it doesn't clearQuote:

However, if I use the 800 strap and OC the FSB so that the RAM is actually at 1066, it boots fine.
noticed that too.. its not a huge problem for me cos i run my gear naked :DQuote:

wow 1.6v! that's scary on air. :(
The memory voltage is more of a concern then VCORE. Like I already posted, the CellShock will not do 1100MHz+ without exceeding acceptable voltage with this chipset.
Its on water see the bold bit & it was 1.64v :DQuote:

Is it just me, or are there two 1066 (1:2 for 266FSB) straps on this board.. At first I was using the 266/1066 strap to run my mems at 1066Mhz at 266FSB.. But even at stock speeds, I've had difficulties regarding stability.. Then I tried the 200/800 strap in which is IMHO, is better..Quote:

Any Users of the latest Beta BIOS please?.. TIA..
Ya, I tried 266:1066 and 333:1066, neither would boot. Right now I am using 266:800 with FSB at 355MHz to get my CPU to 3.2 and my RAM to 1066, and its percectly stable.
i finally got past my c1 problem, it seems my ocz pc2 9200 flex's wont post at stock anymore, i got hold of a cheaper stick that is rated at 1.8 volts and bam all good now, but i just don't understand why my ocz's wont post anymore with that voltage like they would when i first got them....
Andrew
isnt that caused by electron migration or some :banana::banana::banana::banana:?been overvolting and overclocking them?Quote:

Those were some really nice sticks as they were able to run 1080 4/4/4/12 on my previous last 4 or 5 boards with no problems. For now, I have ripped out the DFI and have been testing the new Gigabyte X38-DQ6. Using Ballistix Tracers 8500's now as well. So far I am liking the Gigabyte over the DFI. Less prone to the dreaded C1 post's for sure. More testing is needed though. Wonder if DFI is having a voltage problem with the DIMM slots on this board? I know the LanParty NF4 boards were prone to blowing out memory. Could it be a similar problem were seeing?
Anybody "Brave" Enough to try this New Beta Bios out?:D
anybody else having "raid" issues with mobo?
even at default speeds etc...sometimes while trying to boot it wont see my hd's properly...
where is it?Quote:

I don't believe any of us who have consistently pushed this board to the max has lost any ram.Quote:

Speaking of which I could not install Matrix Raid with any of the 4 drivers on JMicron Floppy on my two Raptors! What is the proceedure on this Board for Installing Raid on Intel Ports???? Which driver on the floppy do you use out of the 4 of them too please?
my problem happens when I reboot...
2 X 150 Raptors Raid 0
while it is still in the boot up stage (DOS)
it will hang for a few seconds and it will only see 1 drive...then I reboot and it will see both but not in the right order...then after a 3rd reboot it sees my drives right...
like I said this is even at all defaults...:shrug:
Strange.
I used the ICH9R ports not the J Micron. I selected that driver from the disk.
It was just like any other "F6" RAID install on XP.
Wish I could be more help.
Last I heard it was micro-code update only.Quote:

In the first week with this board, it kill me one stick of my Team PC8500 @ 2,4v (voltage recomended by Team for PC 8500).
Now i have another kit running for 3 weeks at the same voltage and no problems.
Yes, Strap 1066 works.

Nice. :D
Just got the board in the other day and went to 400 w/ stock volts as that's always been pretty easy, but noticed this while Orthos blending...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ltagespike.jpg
Just SG freakin' out right?
Allright,
I got all my parts today ...
DFI P35-T2R
2*1 GB Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC8500
Q6600 G0 (woohoo)
Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme
and other parts are not important
First, I build it, all was set to first boot
I boot, I see the bios and all good .. it's working :)
Put Vista CD in, it was slow slow slow ... I was almost at the end and bang, error fiule corrupted or something so .. hmmm
Tried Windows XP ...
was slow slow slow ... said wtf
I had my Raptor (OS drive) in the yellow sata .. tried in green sata ... ho it works now fast in XP ... try Vista, same error so .. guess my Vista CD is bad or something gonna try in another PC tommorow.
But well, I install XP and everything is oke, install drivers, all good
So now I go into the bios and set my memory to DDR2-1066 MHZ because it was at 800 by default, also setted the voltage to 2.1 to help a bit. Now I wanted to see if my system was stable at stock settings, try orthos blend, banh after 3 seconds error .. hmmm ... go into bios try 2.2V for the memory, into windows, bang same thing
I putted the memory back to 800 mhz with 2V ... orthos is fine now
So I'm wondering what's going on, it's like my memory can't get at the normal speed it's suppose to do.
Anyone got problem like that with that board ? I have the latest bios btw.
Also my temp (stock speed idle) in SG are
CPU : 18
PWM : 40
CHIPSET : 43
on Core Temp :
Core 0: 30
Core 1: 25
Core 2: 25
Core 3: 30
is it normal ? .. I didn't installed the heatpipe addon yet, will do soon but I got so much problem so I wasn't in mood to install it
It's a lot of question but I want to know if those temps are normal at stock speed. If yes then I can move on the next level ... but need to know about my memory too ...
Anyway, gonna wait some answers from the pro and will make more test after.
Thank for reading and thx for the help too !
EDIT : Well, my pc crashed again at 800 MHZ with 2V .. now at 800 with 1.8v .. I'm trying to figure out what's wrong ... will wait help :(
im using them, seems mine might be giving me problems, let me know if you can post with stock bios default dram voltage, as mine wont let me anymore, have to swap in another cheap stick of ram then change the voltage to 2.2 just to post.

Thx to ppl who didn't answer and totally skipped my post .. ;)
But anwyay I gave a bit more of NB voltage and now everything seems ok, seems that at stock the voltage on the NB wasn't ok
Will try to OC later will post some screens and all :)
Honestly don't have any recommendations for you. I know this board seems very picky about RAM. My OCZ Titanium seems very very happy though.Quote:
