gtls on auto you lucky if you can do 505fsbQuote:

the right gtl setting helps using less voltage;)
like i said u need to learn the board
if you want easy use your p5q

zsamz, reading this thread i've found your answer from march '08

correct?
even my son can do 540fsb on the boardQuote:

i can boot to windows @ 550 100% stable;)
but are u talking single channel zsamz ;) lol
its all about gtl, i could post to 530 but not get to windows.
:rofl::rofl:Quote:

ive done 510fsb with 4 sticks:yepp: stable
max was around 520 with 4 stix
i havent used my x38 in a long while only cause my ut p35 is faster
i was gonna sell my x38 but i kept it for when i go crossfire
zsamz is correct. If you want to go faster you will be better off with a P35. If you you want to go even faster still, then get a UT-P45.
A look at the 4.7ghz link in my sig, and you will see 4 sticks of ram running at 563 fsb 24/7 stable.
The ONLY real reason for sticking with the X38/X48 platform, is if you must have 2x16 Pcie lanes. Even then the P45 will run Xfire at 2x8 Pcie lanes, not much of a loss to be honest.
I would say that the only real reason for having x38 is that some ppl have it already, and cannot afford for some reasons to change it.Quote:

next p45 is even better
but this crappy board with its 500 fsb wall seems to be one of the worst dfi mobo
not talking about issues like incompability with 3870x2
enthusiast segment heh
The Rampage Extreme and DK T2RSB+ prove that the X48 chipset can clock past 500 FSB, it just seems that the LT/UT X48 is weak in that area.
I did past 500 FSB on my LT X38 just fine, though I got rid of it a few months back. Have they changed the BIOS or something?
even if you run a p35 or p45 you gonna have the same problemQuote:

the dfi x38 is a good board i bet you any $ i can take your board to 540fsb in 10 minutes
the problem is the utp35 and the ut-p45 are perfection:D
with multiplier x6, max fsb i was able to get into the bios is 525Quote:

what voltages on PLL, NB, VTT are required to run 520 and higher (with 4x1gb ram)?
well, i agree that the fsb limit on this board is near 530-540, but will be it fully stable at high multiplier 9 or 10?
and will be mobo voltages safe for running 24/7?
i hope you know how tough it is for a board to run 4 sticksQuote:

you need 1.65v nb 1.3v vtt keep pll volts to minimum setting or it will degrade your cpu and use only 333/800 divider
you not gonna go higher than 520 with 4 sticks
and if all your dim slots are not 100% you will only do 510
be smart n use 8-9 multiplier get the max out of your cpu you should be looking to max out your cpu not just the board and watch your temps
i cant set high multi or do load testing, coz i'm on stock cooling with cpu box cooler and nb heatsink on pushpinsQuote:

so u say fsb520?
i have an option to change board to this one dfi p35
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=447022
is it worth? all watercool parts are compatible, it can count superpi at 580х9.5 already, and it does not have pci-e 2.0 and has older chip
or leave my x38 :shrug:
im quite happy to stick with my x38 atm, it did cost me quite a bit with shipping & bank transfure fees etc lol towards £250.
im not just being a tight , i dont see the need for anything else atm. having a 9.5 multi on my cpu with 500+ stable fsb to play with is more then enough for me on my watercooling setup.
the newer bios's hav made the board feel quite different from the pre-45nm coded ones. not just coz the skews etc, just how it handles in genral.
i got both and the p35 is fasterQuote:

the x38 needs less volts for my cpu n ram but i like the xtra bandwidth
but no way the p35 can match the x38 with 4x1
my gskills 4 gig set can do 1300 so i'm good:D
if you gonna use 4 stix stay with the x38
edit: when i go crossfire with my 4870 i will switch back to x38 hopefully dfi will have a bios that will like my e8600
do i need an extra cool for south bridge? or strock heatsink would be enough?
it's quite hot by the touch even at default speeds
Guess what I ordered today? http://www.motherboardpro.com/DFI-La...ATX-p-338.html :DQuote:

For that price, I couldn't pass it up. Besides P35 usually gives better bandwidth than P45 since you can run a lower PL at the same strap/FSB setting. And P45+DDR3=:down:Quote:

the p45 and p35 are equal i'd give a 0.5% edge to the p35 but the p45 will give higher fsbQuote:

I've been having a lot of fun with "Gigabutt" EP45 UD3P and D9GMH :yepp:Quote:

I'd say ddr2 is still up there, tight timings, fast buses. :D
you wont get hight clocks with ram but you will know what speed means with dfiQuote:
