Thanks :toast:

Basically; I set in BIOS 5-4-4-8; and tRFC to 35 cause I guess the DFI doesn't like this one to be tightened too much.

What about yours?

Great Results and great mobo and CPU youv'e got there .
Can you Post SPI 1M ??

Ok; I'll do one; but I rather prefer to test with 32M. It's much more interesting to assess high clocks stability.

Thanks :) DDR3 version will be called T3R.

Here's an improved 32M. Definitely this board is clocking both CPU and DRAM like a charm. :)

Yes, they are..

great going bro... i've received this board yesterday, will try it with my E8500 and my cascade too :D
5.5ghz stabilty test is nice... but times is not that good :(... is it the board or you not tweak the pi run??

I'm afraid the E8500 won't be pushed too high with this board. FSB limit is somewhere within 530 to 550FSB here. :(

I haven't tweaked the Spi32M, but I guess times aren't too bad considering the FSB. :)

Slight improvement. :) 9m49s might be expectable.

Well done man ;) Great board, look at that DDR2 going wild ... :yepp: :D Excellent ram clocker as always ;)

I suppose you mean though 8m49s and not 9m49s ... :p:

Thanks mate. :)

Of course; what a shame! :D I meant 8m49s... lol

Hehehehehe :D ROFL ! :rofl:

Nice impressions... :up:

BUT everytime I watch one of your results I have to adore Lady Bertha! :rofl:

impress me... :up:

nice clocks, can that 9650 hit 6ghz?

Thanks guys :toast:

Dunno... Well maybe, but with 2v+ and -115C / -118C.

So, I've removed the CPEV from 2nd stage of Petite Bertha Cascade, and try to get a good amount of R1150 in order to achieve some decent temperatures. First tries weren't very good cause without CPEV I've lost about 10C+, pressure for pressure, load for load.

But today morning, before changing the captube lenght, I've decided to go for a bit less of R1150... and I finally got pretty nice loaded temperatures... at about 5.6GHz using 1.97vCORE for Spi 32M, top/'hotter' part of the evaporator shown -103.5C (evap pressure was 0.6bar that means -112C).

Well, that's nearly the same than it was with the CPEV installed, that's damn good considering the load.

Ok now, back on topic. I've ran a Spi 1M as requested earlier in this thread, and then improved the 32M. I definitely love this board, very reliable voltages, and clocks DRAM like a charm.

Good mobo:up:

come on,push it and give that sweet baby a superPI1m...:D oh srry u have done it

Great Work Before:up:
I love DFI Boards:clap:
Cumps

Hey man nicely done! This mobo has good things to show afterall...

Can you ake a guesstimate and tell me what kinda LOAD in watts you are getting on that setup?
