Not sure who to ask but: here is a good question
using the memset I can set the tref to the highest setting of 16383t it gives me ~ 159mb more in sandrathan 2600. How can I set that in the bios?

You can't ....
Seems like a very important setting that used tobe available on the nf4 dfi boards and make a huge imapacts on the p35. Why dfi has not put it in the bios? It clearly can be accessed.:down:
DFI should do something in this case for the community.

No its back with Newegg and hopefully I will either get a replacement or they fix it.Quote:

Major Reasons of Change:
The system can’t boot up in windows Vista 64bits when The motherboard with Intel Q9650 CPU and EIST function was disabled.
Anyone care to see if anything else has changed?
Great thread, this will come quite in handy when OCing my LT!
@cantankerous: thanks for the heads up! :) hmm seems like there's no need for me to update to the 5/02 since i'm not using a Q9650 nor a 64-bit Vista
My thoughts exactly though we have been surprised in the past with bios updates do much more than what is listed in the changelog.Quote:

ok some things i noticed in the 05/02 Beta bios...
1) under Clock Setting Fine Delay...there's an option "Tfine Item Value Degree" with default at 120ps (options run from 10-160ps)
2) under Voltage Settings...new option after CPU VID Control, "CPU VID Special Add LIMIT" with option either Enabled or Disabled
3) some typo..."Rea5 elay phase adjust"
have no idea what these do since i didn't have the time to play with the settings.
Ah, thanks for testing emoners! I knew there would be other stuff added but not noted. That is typical DFI style.
Can Praz perhaps shed some light on this Tfine Item Value Degree and how it can benefit us? I am sure the other listing is self explanatory to avoid adding too much vcore through the % setting.
Emoners, would you mind sharing what SATA RAID ROM bios is present in this release? Is it 7.5.0.1017 or the newer 7.6.0.1011? If it is the older one I hope Praz would be kind enough to inject the newer one into this new beta for us all =). Sorry for dumping so much on you Praz, but you really do come in here with all the answers and are an invaluable source to us users of this board.
If i am right these new settings have something to do with the Tref.Much better to tweak them now as the old value we know was based still with these degree and a multiplier.Now it's just easier to tweak.
I've booted right up with the Gskill 2x2gb 1066 sticks without issue or need to manually adjust tRFC.Quote:

what does 2) do exactly? :D
Thanks for this info, very much appreciated.Quote:

Small fft and OCCT cpu would run for hours without problem, however large fft and OCCT ram would error in 10 seconds. I am running 2x1g ballistix tracer 6400 (old double sided), so they are well within spec. What is going on here? Is there some ram parameter I am missing?
GTL makes or breaks you
what is your gtl setting? i didn't touch mineQuote:

Thanx..
Yes, you don't really need it if your fsb is not over 450MHz at least. You use it if radical increase in vcore doesn't bring any improvement, then, i at least, use GTL settings to make it more stable.Quote:

It's probably the mosfets squealing. If you have a quad, it puts stress on them.
