Hey there. yes got a new MB to play with. :)Quote:

Now I am experiencing 100% stability across LinX (5400MB memory used) and OCCT 3.1 12hrs+ on small/med/large all of them have passed with flying colors.
Prime95 custom test 128K - 1024K, FFT not in-place, and 5400MB RAM used. As well as the small FFT run on defaults, priority 9.
The only hangup I have is Prime95 Blend default settings will just randomly reset my computer with no BSOD at around 5-6 hours, I am trying to narrow it down as to what it is.
Anyone else experience similar things?
You need to be using Version 25.11. Anything earlier than that has a bug that causes the reboots you are getting.Quote:

4. DFI also have their AMD 890 platforms in development :)
2010 will be a good year :D
No one is using the new Beta BIOS? Any bugs in it?
@Ice009
If you are referring to 11/05, it is not beta any more and not really new.
I'm using it, and it is pretty the same as 7/24.
There should be 12/21 (see the link from MacClipper) coming out soon, or some newer.

hey guys, i just got a used i7 920co with this dfi board, does anyone have the driver disk they can make a copy of and send me?
its for winxp 64bit.
I can help with that. PM please.Quote:

I'm kind of nervous because my board just went "88" on me so it's RMA time.:(
What does the 88 code mean. What happened to it exactly?Quote:

Any way, why is it really that hard to find one of these DFI boards?
I tried this last night and left the system without battery and ps connectors overnight. After reassembly, mb is still stuck at "88". :confused:Quote:

12/30 BIOS now is downloadable from DFI: http://img.lanparty.tw/Upload/BIOS/CM/LX58DC30.zip
Setting for CPU PLL Voltage is completely broken. Changing default year under Standard CMOS Setup still changes CH3 RTL to +16. If I don't set SATA controller mode (Intel) to AHCI board sometimes hangs on POST, this bug was introduced with 6/19 BIOS and is still there. Glad that I still have a C0 stepping CPU and can go back to 1/14 BIOS although I hate to have to revert back to a BIOS that's almost one year old.
yeah, so this bios is supporting Gulftown ES now?
Or which bios is do i need for the 3.06GHz Q3QR L3 12MB 6 cores / 12 threads ES?
Thanks
Edit:
Ok i see

Major Reasons of Change:
Added new micro code for support Intel Gulftown 6 core CPUs.
Uhm...This new BIOS (LX58DC30) wont work for me. :(
I've downloaded the File several times, have made a Binary Check of the downloaded
Files, have cleared CMOS several times - without luck.
I get this in Genie BIOS - Voltage Settings --> the Option: CPU PLL Voltage is corrupt.
Does somebody else have this also?

I have the same problem...
its a beta so we hope for something better in the future!anyone tested stability with this?:rolleyes:
New beta BIOS (01/06) is available: http://img.lanparty.tw/Upload/BIOS/CM/LX58D106_.zip
CPU PLL Voltage is still broken. I did not see any difference between this and the 12/30 one. As 12/30 BIOS has been removed I wouldn't flash this one.
tried previous beta bios file then after reflashed back to 11/05/09 bios
i got the debug led error 8.8., cleared CMOS, removed batt, reinstalled CPU, etc, but nothing seem to help, i had to order a new bios chip from ebay.
got an EON chip to replace the SST on the board, the new bios chip is working very good.
What BIOS did you have installed when you got 8.8 error?Quote:

Took that to get it prime stable 12GB.
I've dowloaded the 11/05 BIOS, and I really dont know if it is a Bios issue or what, but now when I shut down the computer from windows, sometimes it still being on, but windows get closed. Is like an stand by or something like that.
Maybe is a hardware problem, but I think it started when I flashed the Bios.
I would like to know your opinions before flashing it again and leave the 7/12 Bios.
Funny, I actually have the same exact problem. It seems like windows fully shuts down, but the system just remains running.Quote:

Edit:
I have just read that may be the problems is because of a incompatiblity between OS and Motherboard Drivers (I have Windows 7 Professional and Dfi Ut X58).
Yesterday I installed for the first time the drivers of my board, because the ones on the DVD that came with the board and the availables on DFI site wasnt compatible with W7, although is supposed that windows already has it installed I though that someday DFI will give a driver for it.
And finally that has happened, and I installed it and maybe thats the problem until windows give us an update or something like that in order to have a full compatible system.
I don't think it is driver issues (alone).Quote:

2. Intel Matrix Storage (from Intel site) is not necessary.
I use it to avoid win7 treat all AHCI HDs as "removable". I had no problem without it either.
(My settings: ICH as AHCI, JMicron as IDE)
3. NIC driver (from DFI site) works properly.
4. I am not using any other intergrated devices.
I have no problem on 11/05 bios.
Both the new bioses removed PLL voltage. The first one replaced it with "oot Order" and this one is just all messed up. I'd like a new bios because my board undervolts DRAM about .04v and overvolts VTT by a good bit too. Wonder if this happen to a lot of people?
And I never knew you had to install drivers in Win 7. Besides maybe for software RAID... I have hardware RAID, just installed ICH10R drivers during install and in Windows I just install my sound card and video drivers. No chipset drivers necessary it seems, even LAN works out of the box.
At the begining I wasn't able to instal the inf drivers from the dvd that comes with the board when you buy it, because it wasn't compatible with my OS. But now the ones on the DFI site ara compatible with and well, my bad, but I believed that if there are INF DRIVERS COMPATIBLE WITH W7 is because maybe they are necessary necessary to improve or at least resolve issues or something like that-Quote:

I believe you want EIST DISABLED, CxE ENABLED, PPM ENABLED, TURBO ENABLED and in windows you want to set the power scheme to performance. Setting the power scheme is important, also the correct bios is just as important.
NO.Quote:

Also you must ENABLE Set VR Current Limit Max, and DISABLE Thermal Management Control
EDIT: BTW, it would be smart to set Shutdown Temperature to 100 under PC Health Status, cause setting all those above, there is nothing to prevent you CPU from burning up.
Which BIOS does this for you? I'm on 11/05 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and it shuts down OK.Quote:

In my case, the INF Utilities did not found anything to install, and it did not install anything. So it does not appear on "unistall/install" in CP.Quote:

Could be also.
Because as far as I remember, when I tried to isntal the INF utilitie in the Original DVD that comes with the board, at the beginning of the installation a window appears which said that it wasn't compatible, then was when I got noticed that W7 hasn't need drivers.
But then when I tried this new one inf utilkitie the installation ednde properly, what's more I remember I had to restart my computer.
But well maybe is like you said, I didnt install anything and thats because it doesnt appear on that section.
Sorry if this has been covered, but what is the difference between:
IOH/ICH 1.1V Voltage
IOH Analog Voltage
ICH 1.5 Voltage
ICH 1.05V Voltage
Which ones control the actual NB and SB? And I'm guessing the other are the PCI-E voltages for the IOH and ICH or something?
Trying push G.Skill F3-17066CL9T-6GBPS on i7 950, I ran into trouble at the very begining: CL7 @ 160x10 does not post at all.
basic bios setting:
core=x20
vcore=1.2v(bios), vdroop=enabled, special add=disabled
vtt=1.21v(bios), special add=auto
vdram=1.56v
PCIE=101
What I have tried: (core x20, uncore=ramx2)
9-9-9-24 @ 160x10 => 24hr prime stable
CL8 (auto for the rest) @ 160x10 => always post
CL6/7 @ 160/161x10 => not post
CL7 @ 159x10 => always post
CL7 @ 133-150x12 => always post
6-7-6-18 @ 133x12 => 24hr prime stable
So the problem is that though it posts at 159x10/x20, it does not post at 160x10/x20.
core=x18 => still no post
vcore/vtt/vdram +1-3 notch => still no post
160 is not a high bclk, I think? :confused:
Because it does not post, I do not know where to start with. :shrug:
If it has something to do with boot up clock, what value should I use? I tried a few random value like auto/135/140, and it does not help.
shadewither, you need more a lot more VTT (start around 1.32v), more DRAM voltage probably (~1.65v) and possibly more CPU vcore. Disable vdroop or else you will probably go down to 1.12v on the CPU core.
@shadewither
Dopamin3 gave you some good advices. :up:
But...
I would not suggest disabling vdroop for everyday use. :shakes:
Better go with a little higher vcore. MB starts to whine when vdroop disabled. People killed this board that way.
DFI UT X58 T3EH8 bios error code 88! no debug led.
Been well over 16+ months since i've seen 88 error code can't remember what it is specifically but i think clocking too far is one reason for it to occur or incorrect voltage/settings used.Quote:

Well when i first started testing my DFI UT X58 back in Dec 2008 (dam ages ago!) got a few times 88 error codes which took a few clear cmos, power downs to recover from so not necessarily = RMA. But as i got to know what voltages/options to set, haven't seen the code for ages.
I see, I had to RMA my board when I got my first 88. But I have seen others post about 88's from voltage/timing/bclk/etc discrepancies.Quote:

Anybody with an newer Bios out there? DFI does a very bad job with that bios. The buggiest beta bios i've ever seen...
Im running the latest beta bios now for 2 weeks or so and all has been perfect..havent tryed a gulftown and most likely never will on this board but the beta bios 2010-01-06 on this dk T3eH6 has been a no problem bios...I can actually achieve a higher o/clock with less voltage on this bios..
maybe a different hardware configuration may have problems but all i can say is my system is perfect with this beta bios...
i've been through 4 boards and all dead :( not even using high/wrong voltages. But indeed this boards pwm area is in my opinion 2 sensitive. I think that the early revisions(like eva's board) are the strongest.
I'm now using the gigabyte x58-ud3r board and its working better than the dfi's i've had(and cost me less then halve the price :up:)
code 88 is undefined but meanly means that the bios is bricked or problems with NB. getting code 88 meanly means you're screwed(in my experience that is :rolleyes:).
sorry dfi but making a board that's great with specific hardware combinations in some situations. isn't a great board :shakes:
I had problems with the DK, bit the UT worked fine for me (was my first DFI Board). But DFIs support is the worest ive ever seen. High End mainboard will need high end CPU support, also in ES state.
Already tried my new hexacore X5650 Stepping 1 (B) CPU in UT bit the same resolt here, code 8.8. - no post. Contacted DFI...
lol, great. Asked for a new beta or alpha bios. Somebody with connections to DFI here? CPU is working on nearly every ASUS X58 and Gigabyte X58 board, Evga also, but DFI is notable to support this CPU. So whats da reason for the 6. January Bios when Gulftown isn't supportet yet? :confused:Quote:

anyone else have issues with system temp, AKA i believe that is vreg temp in the smart monitor panel going up to 100+ under load and eventually machine shutting down?
I want to remove Vreg cooler to check everything, but on clubDFI they say not to as it will cause the vregs to burn up?!?!
@punx223
hm @ i also reaching nearly 100+ with voltage over 1,4V and water cooles PWMs. My PWM cooler has very bad contact to the PWM, had to use a lot of termal paste to drop temeratures. With aircooled PWMs and high clocks, a fan should be used. Seems the digital PWMs are very less effective than normale ones.
Quite the fun thing happened to me yesterday and I'm still trying to find the problem. I had noticed that my trusty old x1600xt was a bit to weak to play hd video in linux (problematic open source drivers, no ati drivers for newer kernels), so I got me a g210 based card, and since I put that in stability went down the drain. Killed linux to find something stable with the tools I know in vista.. so far it looks like with this card the system needs at least one notch more vcore and cpu qpi drive strenght set to strong (before: normal). Anyone care to guess wth that is so? The new card supposedly needs even less power than the one before... is nvidia giving a damn about PCIe standards or what is happening here? o_0;
anybody with higher o/c with the beta bios @ T3eH8?Quote:

i saw 8.8. many times during mad ram clocking session but nothing that a clear CMOS can't solve
i had 8.8 on my P45 DK my problem was that the PSU was incompatible with the mobo :S so i bought an Corsair TX-750 and now it works ;)
Hey guys,
need some help here. When I got up this morning my computer was frozen on the boot up screen with the error code 3F. There also seems to be some graphical corruption on the screen (green lines like bars).
I'm using the 11/05 BIOS and everything was set to stock speeds for the last month or so because of the heat here.
I tried to reset the CMOS, but it just goes to the full screen logo and then nothing happens, it just freezes to post error 3F.
Anyone know what the 3F code is? Should I try and different video card since there seems to be some graphical corruption?

this is the best i can find for now :) http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/hardw...herboards.html or maybe http://www.bioscentral.com/postcodes/awardbios.htm
What is the highest system temperature that I should allow for my DFI UT X58 motherboard? I know that when it reaches 60C it turns red but how much higher would you go for long periods of time?
I'm sure DFI recommends that we keep the system temperature under 60C and not run it in the "red" for long periods of time.
Edit: I just spotted this here.
"DFI says PWM is rated to handle 100+C operating temps. I say anything under 85C is fine."
I wouldn't be concerned if it stays under 85 for 24/7 use. Just as a precaution I keep it around 60-65 under load and 40-45 idle. :)Quote:

Alright, just in case anyone wants to know what the '3F' error was caused by is that one of my sticks of Corsair Dominator GT C8 2000Mhz RAM seems to have crapped out.Quote:

I am currently just running the other two sticks in dual channel mode as I am trying to decide what RAM to buy to replace it with before I RMA it. I wanted to get a kit of G.Skill Trident 2000Mhz C9s, but it seems to be out of stock at pretty much every online Australian store I have looked at.
What exactly do you need those FDD connectors for on the Motherboard?Quote:

they are very useful if you have installed an heavily overclocked video card or a crossfire.
many guys with dual or triple crossfire config melted the ATX 24pin connector becouse of high power consumption and only 2 wire of +12 volt from ATX 24pin connector.
Here's a new beta bios 02/10 for lucky gulftown owners and all us wanna-be-a-gulftown-owner. :D
really a good news, i can't wait to try a six core on my dfi x58 ut :D
donmarkoni - any new bugs implemented? :P (cpu pll :D )
CPU PLL still broken...
ROFL why does it happen to such a big company? They really CAN'T fix it or that's on purpose? Not like I'm using it anyway, because stock 1,8V seems ok for stability, but that's a lil bit ridiculous. Looks like there're not any quality programmers in their bios development section :F
I think is still Oskar Wu :shrug: Sad to see him or even DFI in general do such things.Quote:

yesterday after a quick test i noticed that probably new bios allow to set the RTL at lower value...that means better performance.
with the right setting of the subtimings in the bios you can change all the important subtimings showed by cpu-tweaker.
however clock skew and CPU PLL (maybe under intel spec) could be usefull, i hope that DFI's R&D team add these 2 options in the next bios release.
Would be nice to know, where could we send message, so they can look into it, and repair things we would point out, and implement new ones we would point out.
That probably would make it a good bios, without issues, at once.
i asked about pll undervoltage option a month ago!so do the same...send mails to dfi's support team for skews,pll below 1.80 or that ever you want...maybe some of them are possible to be added!keep mailing....:p:
I've got a question guys.. Currently I'm running 4305 (205x21) HT ON at ~1,40V. It's perfectly stable in linx, 20 passes, using 4096MB RAM. An hour ago I raised blck to 207 which gave me 4351MHz at the same voltage. It passed 7 passes of linx, so I turned it off hoping for a stable 20 passes with that setting and then raised blck to 210 (4410MHz) HT ON. It crashes after 17-20 seconds of linx now. Does that ~60MHz more makes that much difference considering stability? Temperatures raised maybe 1 degree or even less (I mean nothing ;) ) under linx than with 4,3GHz so I don't think that's the case.
probably you need more vcore
damn. 6 Core X5660 / X5650 are stipp not working with this bios. Bios date is 22.2. (last modified)

read and write here please ;)
I'm banned... xD - sadly my last post was deleted.
DFI died for me so far...
Edit: Ok saw that thread was closed.

maybe someone want to answer here...
Just let it go mate,
there is no reasoning with DFI these days. I ran into a similar issue with our dear "Bulldog" with another DFI motherboard, needless to say I won't be using any more DFI boards on customer builds. That guy is single-handedly ruining DFIs reputation by giving enthusiasts crap about their so-called "attitude" instead of doing his job and providing help.
Interesting that you use the word "reasoning". Reasoning implies a civil discussion between 2 parties and not one trying to ram a bunch of "demands" down the others throat.Quote:
