Do you still have your old one?
Some boards looks like they dont like some psu or memory, not just Dfi.

yes I have ODIN 800 with me and seems it booted up without a problem. However it fails again once if I pump VTT to 1.37v (vCore @ 1.2375v BIOS ATM)Quote:

Must be another factor than ram timings or Vdimm :shrug:
So I got my T3EH8 today and attempted to flash the BIOS to the newest rev:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...iled_flash.jpg
Note the one block that stands out...
I tried hot-flashing the BIOS using a Supermicro X8STi (I'm currently at work), since it also uses the same BIOS socket type, and it went through without any errors/failed blocks, however my board still functions as though it's bricked when I try to boot using the BIOS chip.
When the green memory DIMMs populated, I get the "C1" POST code (I'm referring to the on-PCB diagnostic LEDs, the system doesn't actually POST on the monitor) and the board makes beeps at me. With the yellow DIMMs populated, I get the "CF" POST code and the board doesn't beep at all. Resetting the CMOS has no effect. The board exhibited this behavior after the bad flash and after the good hot-flash using the Supermicro board. The system seemed to function a-OK before I tried flashing the BIOS.
Looks like I'm going to have call in for a RMA or overnight a new board if I can't get an overnighted cross-ship. :(
Starting from "scratch" with burn-in, and I'm pretty happy with the law Vcore :) . My new air-cooing seams to be handling this HOT babe pretty good too (at least for now with just 1.15v Vcore).

I believe you have a good chance to hit @4ghz with a good D0-batch easily.

The system has been running very smooth and i believe it could prime more. 219 seams to be the sweetspot for my CPU, (it seams to need more VVT-volts/tewaks for prime stability at 220+ BCLK). This seams to be the the best I can get with 19x, but the OC is not final and more will be coming ..
I'm more interested in which bios and ram settings are you using. Please share.Quote:

But then we know that, my Dfi UT HATES Takems:down:
And a friend of me tested the same chips( Kingston ) and DFI UT loves them with the new beta-bios.
4/28 bios is working best for me so far for 6GB Kingston HyperX. 226 BCLK boot from bios 1.45vcore 1.37vtt, 1.7vdimm using phase. 5/08 bios would even boot with same settings.
Thanks for the tip Nemesis, i will try 4\28=)
try 211 bclk or 216 to start, I may be booting so high because of phase. I'll post screen shot when I get home.Quote:

I would GREATLY appreciate soem help.

You do have power saving set to performance and windows activated this gave me hell too. I switched back to xp on the bench for now.Quote:

You might actually be at 21x multi and CPU-z just isn't reading the change with W7
i think its a win7 64bit issue because i have same problem (build 7068) with it but not the 32bit. i downloaded rc 1 from micro$oft but too lazy to install
I'm preparing to drop this board for my bench rig. It simply won't hit high enough bclk for me to reach 5GHz. I tried this chip in my friends classified and hit 5GHz with ease with less cold. Time to join the classified bandwagon I suppose.

Then this would be VERY strange if true. Earlier this evening when I first installed the board, It was reading 21x...now it will not.Quote:

eva nice clocks
just for info
another forumer from lyn bought my kingston hypers with his dfi ut latos is it
for him to run 2000mhz Cl8 on his 920 d0
so far he needs vdimm 1.65v vtt 1.5
thats 0.1v more on vdimm and vtt compared when the ram was running with my cpu.
Thanks Kavin, yeah cpu could determine what voltages memory needs, so far 2x i7 920 c0 and 1x i7 920 d0 all require me to have 1.65v vdimm for GT at 2000mhz 7-8-7-20.
Guys just remembered one thing, for my Win7 setup in bios power management I have HPET support enabled and set at 64bit. Not sure if it that is what is allowing me 21x Turbo without problems. Worth a try :)
yeah trueQuote:

and this is another weird part
all the 2k c8 hypers i have tested has one thing in common
the 2kC8,1866C7,1600 C6 vdimm is the same.
He has no problem with 1866C7 and 1600C6 at 1.56set like on my proc
but his 2k C8 needs 1.65v set.
also this changes my opinion on higher vcore procs usually needs higher vtt.
like ures doesnt ..
looks like the 2k rams .. seriously up to luck on procs..since i had a few procs
latency is not the issue but the ram speed and vtt required is.
but one thing my proc is very vtt sensitive. a slight overvolt everythings goes out of the window.
not surprising cpu vtt and vdimm are cpu dependent, since cpu vtt drives uncore frequency/and memory related stuff on processor :)
hmm can imagine the no of ppl are going to have issues with 2k ramQuote:

Haven't tried 6GB samsung hcf0/micron modules but i suspect same can be said for all DDR3-1866+ and higher rated modules - you'd be somewhat at mercy of the cpu mem controller, board and board bios etc.
I'm near done with my build now and ready to boot 'her up. What bios would you recommend as a starting point for an Xeon and 6GB of Corsair GT's? Keep in mind that this will be my first experience with this board and i7 as a whole.
start with 2/17 or 2/27 and if you have problems clocking GT memory, try 4/28 beta or 05/08 (some folks aren't having much luck with D0 cpus and 4/28 and 05/08 betas though).

I'm having an incredibly stupid issue that I can't find the cause of. I've been trying to fix it for over 6 hours now and I've pretty much given up.
Windows will only boot if the Vista DVD is present in the DVD drive and the DVD drive is chosen as first boot device. It will ask me to "press any key to boot from disk", but I just let the timer run out and it will boot normally. If I take out the Vista disc the system will halt after "Saving CMOS". The same thing happens if I set "hard disk" to first boot device in the bios. I've reinstalled Vista twice with different raid drivers but nothing helps. It really looks like the board is trying to boot off the DVD drive no matter what I do. I have a raid setup with two drives in raid 0. The DVDRW is connected to the IDE port on the motherboard. I have tried disabling the IDE controller too, but that made no difference. Is there something stupid I've missed here? I've never seen this problem for all the years I've had raid running on, and that's a long freaking time!
Found the problem... turns out Vista has installed the boot files on the HDD's located on the Jmicron controller. These show up as IDE drives, so I guess in all it's wisdom Vista thought it would be better to place them there. Bloody stupid!
Edit: is it actually possible to boot from a raid array on this board at all?! I've taken out every single drive except two 320GB drives that run in RAID0 from port 0 and 1. These are bootable according to the Intel matrix raid manager, but Vista will NOT boot no matter what I do. I've done 5 Vista installs now! DVDRW runs in IDE mode from the Jmicron controller. I tried IDE + RAID, but Vista didn't even want to install with that option checked.
Edit 2: Finally! I nailed it. I set the Jmicron controller to IDE mode, only the two raid0 drives in, and then I rebuilt the raid in the Intel matrix CP. This time the Vista setup picked up the Intel raid drivers on my USB stick and things worked after that. This is seriously the most painful Windows installation I've ever been through! :P
An early result for my OCing:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ghz-stable.jpg
I haven't done anything with the memory yet and I haven't found a max stable on the CPU either. I've got some work to do :)

Good luck - it is an awesome CPU!
Thanks for the reply......... How is my choice of ram. Just don't want to go through the hassle of going through all types of setting to get it to boot.
If you plan to oc i had picked up some 1600mhz memory:)
And go over to 64 bit;)
I am a big fan of OCZ so Yes, nice choice if you want low latency but if you want to OC then I would go for the Reapers .......

- Intel Xeon W3520 3845A935 D0 (Xeon equivalent of Core i7 920 D0)
- EK Supreme LT 1366 / FESER 480 / MCP655
- DFI UT X58-T3EH8 04/28 beta
- 2x HD4870x2 Crossfire (Powercolor + Gigabyte flashed to Asus Top bios) with ATI Win7 9.4 (8.612 WHQL)
- 6GB Corsair Dominator GT DDR3-2000Mhz 7-8-7-20
- 750GB Samsung SATAII
- Silverstone OP1200 PSU
- Triple boot - WinXP Pro SP3 / Vista Ultimate 64Bit SP2 / Win7 Ultimate 64bit RC
Still early testing as only put my W3520 3945A935 in 3hrs ago and it's priming with custom large ffts 5400mb allocated @20x200 = 4000Mhz at 1.184v vcore and 1.26v set cpu vtt with coretemp load temps of 56-60C in 26.5C ambients!
But it's first cpu that i've experienced that according to SG overvolts CPU VTT from what is set in bios at idle as well under load
i.e. 1.26v cpu vtt set bios = 1.29v idle and 1.31-1.32v load for cpu vtt. Still on 4/28 bios here. For my i7 920 c0/d0 cpu vtt set in bios, under volts slightly at idle but jumps at load.

blood awesome 7-10C cooler than my other i7 920 c0 and d0 cpus!
Hi! , the intel virtualization resource 64bits is not functioning. :(
I use Vmware workstation.
Just burned my motherboard, i saw a spark around the ram area and now there is a chattering sound from the board. The PWM temp shows 30 celcius more than before....... Damn :o(
I Was running ~1.40 Vcore & ~1.40 VVT on bios 4/28 on D0 & Corsair 2000 GT
did you replace stock heatpipe assembly or as is out of the box ?Quote:

Force is very strong on this W3520!
4446Mhz at 1.360v
Very strong on BCLK'ing even on 20x multiplier!

Good one! :up: Keep up the good job.Quote:

But my air cooling is not good enough for 24/7 use with Vcore > 1.3v, specially in this sumer-heat. This can be a good 24/7 with your 4-rad!
What cooler did you have before?Quote:

Yeah this W3520 is bloody awesome - FESER 480 Rad helps :DQuote:

Bumped up vcore and tried 20x230bclk = 4600Mhz and 32M Pi passed easily :D Haven't tried lower vcore yet though :)

Has anybody tryed the EVGA X 58 Classifeid, does it compare with the DFI X58 T3EH8?
Burned my card and don't know wich way to go ;o)
PRJ
For LN2/DI definitely EVGA Classified has higher operating bclk. But for H20/water i'd still prefer DFI. Here in OZ, DFI UT X58 AUD$444 while EVGA X58 classified ranges from AUD$638-769 depending on model!. Money saved I could put towards a nice 60GB OCZ Vertex SSD heheQuote:

Well you already have the waterblocks for DFI - just leave the Heatpipe on and stick the EK block on the NB .....
Gosh, I can't even get over 206bclk. 205 is stable 8 threads, but 206 dies out quick. Anyone know if D0 does bclk any better than C0s?
Any tips otherwise to get bclk up? On the 4/28 bios. T3eh6. Willp post settings a bit later :)
Thanks... next board i'll be testing will either be DFI JR X58-T3H6, Gigabyte X58-UD4P or waiting on word from Asus about a P6T WS Pro - expect similar oc guides for them as long as the work right :)Quote:

Differences are varying CPU VTT / IOH/ICH volateg requirements to reach such bclks. D0 seem to reach the 230bclk target with slightly less CPU VTT than C0.

Come on, you gotta go for the Evga, you'd love it :up:
:)
No love from EVGA Australia right now - no sample boards for me to use :( Getting some lovin from DFI, Gigabyte and Asus (back in the fold after loosing my contact before) :)Quote:

I can't speak specifically for the EK block, but I needed longer 4-40 screws/posts (1" was JUST long enough) to mount my Swiftech MCW30 on the northbridge. Even then mounting the block wasn't perfect; I needed about half a mm closer spacing so the posts are angled inward ever so slightly. I'm happy with the mount and it does mate well with the northbridge unisink so just a word of warning in case anybody runs into something like this while putting a block on the northbridge unisink.Quote:

Elpida-chips in them if someone wonder:)

@PRJ - I don't think it is recommended to use thermal pads with waterblocks .............. bummer[/QUOTE]
Seems so, but uptil now i had great temps <60 celcius
I dont think thermal paste would have stayed in place under installation of hoses, small movements. The mips mosfet cooler does not have a very big supporting surface and is a bit under pressure from CPU hoses tight bend. Flexible pad seemed better.
Well done is done :)
so if i want to have a waterblock on nb on my DFI mobo , you dont need to remove the heatsink?
Maybe make one big block to cover the hole :banana::banana::banana::banana:.
Why cant someone make a block thatcovers evverthing like EK made to gigabytes X58:(
I have to read Evas memory tweak tips, after what i know so are these Elpida some monsters.
You can use the stock bolts supplied with the AMD kit in the MCW30 package if you do a hardmount and ditch the springs. Works just fine, no need for springs. Still have around 0.5cm left on top of the bolt.Quote:

Very good Motherboard DFI!:up:
When a new bios to DFI LP UT X58-T3EH8?:)
