the NB is a 90nm chip so it wont get damage until about 1.8-1.9V, so stop babying the chipset it will do 1.5-1.6V easy with the stock cooling

Any links/suggestions to subtimings/trfc/PL/MHZ for these puppies? I'm cruising so far at 1100 5-5-5-15 2.2v.
I have an Areca ARC-1220 and am considering this board. Will your Areca work in PCIE3 (the PCIE close to the bottom of the board -- I think that's a full speed PCIE slot)?Quote:

Is 41C a high temp for the chipset with all voltages on stock? Ambient temperature is now a little hot,like 28-30degrees and i've got a HR05SLI/IFX mounted on the NB.
I plan to buy more memory, some 2x2GHz kit and need some advice.
Either Corsair Dominator TWIN2X8500C5DF or OCZ DDR2 PC8500 4096MB KIT, Reaper HPC
What kit will play nice/best with this board?
the dominators are real nice that would be my choiceQuote:

Hi emoners i am running 2 w/cooled HD2900 XT's in crossfire, works really well. Thinking about upgrading to HD4870's when i see some decent reviews and EK come up with some blocks for them :)Quote:

Over the next six weeks I will be collecting components for my next build to replace my aging NF4 box, which I will not even bother to put in my sig. ;)
After reading this entire 65-page thread, I've decided to go with another DFI board, the x48 LT T2R. I have just a few questions:
1. My plan was to watercool the CPU and NB, put an HR-09 and a 40mm fan on the PWMs, and repaste the stock SB sink. Will that be sufficient cooling or should I go through the trouble to get a PWM waterblock here in the US?
2. I can't decide between the Q6700 and the Q9450 for this board. Do you think there will be a big overclocking difference between them? I guess it comes down to whether this board's FSB will be limiting (therefore making the Q6700's 10x multi important) or the CPU will be limiting (making the 10x multi unimportant). If the difference is less than 200Mhz I will get the Q9450, otherwise the Q6700.
3. I've heard multiple memory recommendations in this thread for 2x2GB kits including the Corsair Dominators, the OCZ Flex II, and the G-Skill kits. I'm thinking of getting the OCZ Flex II PC2-9200, but is there a better choice? Also, I am correct in assuming that 2x2GB is better for than NB than 4x1GB with the load of a quad-core?
Thanks for all assistance. :)
1) that sounds good but the hr-09 wont fit the board, and the stock sink works great with mx2
2) on liquid the q6700 is better
3) ocz flex is bad its aluminum, and restricts flow and since power chips dont get hot its not worth it, and u cant go 4x1GB unless u want to spend alot of money on ghm and with liquid on teh cpu the fsb will be high enough that the powerchips that only do cas 5 will be good. i like the gskill non pi
I have just gotten some time to get back at my QX9770 ... and I have the OCZ Flex ll PC2 9200 DIMMS. I have to say that once I got some voltage to them and re-did my volts on the NB ... I am having some way decent overclocks. I will soon put my rig under water, but not not for another two weeks or so. Been building a house so time with the computer is only when it's raining (like now :p:)

all of those kits are the same just different heat spreaders but they are all powerchips so they dont go hot in the 1st place, and TR says it works it dose but it looks questionable to me
http://www.petrastechshop.com/thhrsmocot2u.html , if u look at the diagram its offset push pins so i would be hesitant
kinda the same budQuote:

dose any1 know if u can get the hard mounting plate for the hr-09 near the IO panel that the UT boards have to use the LT, and is there any chance of getting one
hopefully some1 like praz can help with this

it looks non attached and a support piece
anyway i can delete entries in CMOS reloaded

Alos, can someone please post what I should try for a base line (what volts for what and what needs to be on and off) and what bios? This is my frist DFI board and I'm trying to do this on my own. Oh, I'm on phase too. Thanks.
I can't get my G.Skill 4GB DDR2 PK PC2-8500C5 to boot using the 333/800 strap works fine with the 333/1066 :confused: Using DFI LanParty LT X48-T2R and E8500 everything at stock, just cant get it to load windows. It get as far as the WinXP startup sound and then freezes making a screeching sound. I had this problem with the 333/1066 strap, but it worked in the end, but not this time I have removed the card and yet it still won't boot :( Not sure if this is memory or motherboard :confused:
Anyone else got this board and memory did you mange to get it working at the 333/800 :confused: If so any chance of posting your setting? I'm noob at this so might be a simple setting I have wrong............I hope.
thanks can anybody why these are my options?Quote:

Just put in a pair of 4850s tonight, it's working so far. So far it's a bit of hit and miss compared to my 8800GTX (guess I better change the sig). In Crysis, I've seen onetest say 4850CF did better than a single 4850, I've seen one test say it's the same speed, and in my case so far, I get worse speed when I run them in CF instead of a single unit. The single 4850 gets about the same FPS as my 8800GTX. In the Devil May Cry 4 demo and in COD4 multi-player, I'm getting double the FPS in Crossfire than what my 8800GTX did.Quote:

I expect I will, unless I see a bargain I can't miss, but all things considered, I don't see the 280 dropping below $500 anytime soon.
Which slots are you running the 4850's in? (1-2, 1-3 or 2-3)
Thought of buying UT T2R soon, so which combination of GFX would be the best?
3 x 4850 or 2 x 4870?
I run them 5-5-5-15 (the rest set auto), 1066Mhz for the moment with 2.15V. What "tref" are you using? How much voltage can I give them 24/7?Quote:

ive tried upping the NB volts up to 1.45 (real)
May take considerably more NB voltage then that. If a tRD is valid depends not only on the divider and FSB but also the CAS value.Quote:

Does it look normal as it look`s way different to the last time i ran it.
I never bothered running any HD tests with my X48 board as its basically the same board & controller as my P35 but for some sort of comparison I just run the below test for you.Quote:

CN :)
How well does this board handle 4 sticks of memory? I have the ability to get 4 sticks of DDR2 1000 but that would require me to push the board to 500. Will them memory controller give me the finger with 4 sticks?
4 sticks is easy on the board i can do 500fsb n ram runnin @1200 just needs more nb volts1.55-1.65Quote:

From what I've been hearing though, people have said that running these sticks sub 1000MHZ at cas4 or whatever is faster than the same memory OC'd to around 1100MHZ Cas5. Is this true?
Also, the subtimings seems to be giving me major issues. Some just don't want to stay at the number I set in the bios, especially TRTP. Does anyone have any helpful hints whom have used this ram? These things are like ferrari's waiting to be tuned :P
edit: Zsamz, I see you've owned quite a few D9's, care to share any subtiming advice?
not all d9 are the same so many sets i got that each require different settingQuote:

lower speed lower trfc some of my d9 need 40 trfc i dont run below 1200
and remember a little more juice to nb n reduce your pl level dont be afraid to give nb 1.6v
according to memset i usin now 5-5-5-15-4-28-8-11-10-3-7-4-4

double edit: I found on the chips the number 0726-25F. I also found another, KZ7J.

Isn't your board still under warranty with DFI? Can't you issue an RMA?
i NEED this system running, if i have to rma again forget it im done.. if after 2 mobo's i have to buy another im done with dfi.. im soo pissed right now
i have checked everything i can and now the board turns on i get the 88 and in about 10 seconds shuts down
well i got it to stop shutting down on me but now im back to the original way it was.. post code 88 and nothing else.. im using a corsair tx750 watt psu with this, unfprtunatly i dont have another to try right now.. not sure if that could be the issue but i REALLY odnt need another psu and hate to buy one if thats not the problem
So basically 3-3-3-8 isnt possible with 2.32V at ddr2 900 for my crucials. I'm going to assume they are GMH then. Should I try a different Timing combo or high MHZ/Tight timings now that I know they aren't GKX?
Thanks a bunch Zsamz :D
well i took a multi meter to the psu cables and im getting 6.3 out of the 5v leads, and 14.70 - 15.3 out of the 12v ones?? wow ... maybe to much voltage?? im stumped i just dont see how 2 boards in a row can be bad..also the cpu is not even getting warm to the touch at all..this is weird
If those are accurate voltage readings that is most likely why two boards in a row are bad.Quote:

so do you think the board is bad now?? as i said all i get is a code 88 and nothing but fans and drives spinning up. the cpu is not getting warm at all. nothing smells like it smoked on this board so im not sure what could have happened if anything.. help>?????????? i just dont want to go buy another very expensive psu if its not the issue.. ill check it with another meter as well here in a minute. but could to much voltage make the board not boot up??
