Hey Guys....need some help
I want to purchase a mosfet thermalright heatsink and a Southbridge heatsink, in order for me to watercool my Northbridge (Chipset).... for a better stable overclock on my DFI.
These sinks need to be replaced....

Thanks
DoObs, they have a chart thingy http://www.thermalright.com/new_a_pa...mcl.htm#dfip35 just scroll righ to the bottom.Quote:

Flashed to 05/02 bios and tested it a bit, works just as well as 12/24 did for E6750, no bugs, no weird stuff, very stable and good for 65nm as well as for 45nm.:up:
Also some of the new few options come in handy.
Haven’t spent much time with 0502 as I found it a little touchy compared to 0317 & I get a strange chirp from the PC speaker every now & again when the board is not 100% happy i.e I set it up wrong.Quote:

Here's my 8500 on a TRUE @ 4.5GHz using 0502 so its not all bad.

Did you try max fsb with your board on that bios or on any for that matter and on which voltage?
Tnx, will pay attention to what possible faults you have mentioned.:up:
Not realy pushed I just wanted to do 600fsb as a personal goal. I have done 605fsb with 1224 & 0214 on a TRUE & E8400 with very minimal voltages like 1.45vcore 1.6vnb max.Quote:

I find you don’t need lots of nb until you start loading the board up i.e. lots of drives, high & tight ram speeds etc.

Update, new cpu and a new fan on a heatsink and temps on default with 23C(74F) ambiental:

Thorough testing next.:up:
Can you use all 6 intel sata ports to control a single 6 drive raid 0 striped array?
CN , where did you get the xtremesystem skin for smartguardian? that looks so nice...Quote:

We share the same, you just change the image and the configuration settings in the ITE root folder.Quote:

I have seen a few real smart versions of the skin arround, have a look at the skins Apache0c & mad_skills have posted & if you still want my exact one I'll find/upload it again.
CN :)
@ mad_skills, DoObs & anyone else interested.
I had a quick play with 0502 & contrary to what I was saying about 0317 vs 0502 the other day I actually found 0502 a little more stable & predictable at high fsb.
Interesting thing is I have also got a boot into windows wall about 585 ~ 595fsb where PLL helped with 0317 & vtt helped with 0502.
Despite only needing 1.61v NB to post & get into the BIOS well over 600fsb I had to use a whole heap of NB voltage to prevent lockups & reboots when in windows.
Excuse the BIOS version typo in Smartguardian.
CN :)
wow thats nice C-N! :D
So I take it you are going to stick with 502 now? What about 521 in the beta section? Has the same changelog info as 502 so I am unsure what else is different, but perhaps a little more fine tuning? Care to try out 521 and compare to 502? I am still on 317 and liking it very much. I would switch to 502/521 as long as my current settings were transferable without having to start all over testing new values.Quote:

I did try 0521 a while back but I never pushed it, you know what its like you just got to try it incase it somehow makes 10,0000mhz at 1.0v :D (Ever the optimist) TBH I dont realy do high fsb I'm only realy interested in what can be used super stable 24/7 so I probably wont try to push 0521 any time soon.
The RAID ROM is unchanged at 7.5 something.
CN :)
@C-N Nice work man, appreciate it.:up: Nice to know that 05/02 is a proper bios so i can just relax and do some o/c.:up:
Also everyone, are the GTL settings the same for 65nm C2D and 65nm C2Q?
I have used this chart for my E6750:
http://www.edgeofstability.com/index.html
and just wanted to know if you need to take certain notice on those setting when ocing quad.
Yes they are the same, but you will be needing to run a fairly high VTT with a Quad. Also don't forget, those values are only true for the board and cpu that Praz was running at the time. They may well bear no relation to your board and cpu. So just use it as a starting point, and tweak it out from that.Quote:

You'll need the Type 2 version of the mosfet coolers.
Type 3 are to short and won't fit (they fit on the DK version).
Just to be sure, measure the distance between the small holes of the mosfets and then choose the appropriate Type from Thermalright.

Maybe changed the background image but the original custom SG ini was edited by me for DFI 965S DARK two year agoo.

The only thing the two different versions have in common other then being Smart Guardian is the background being black. Give it a rest. Both look good but there's nothing Earth shattering here. A 6 year old could do up one of these skins. A sad situation if this is such a priority of one's life.
