Did you use C1E ? if so than yes low idle vcore with vcore jumping higher when cpu loaded is normal :)

Some High Uncore frequency testing http://i4memory.com/f83/i7-x58-mem-f...equency-18156/ :D

My Dfi UT T3H8 will be here Thursday.
First I had Asus P6T, TDP limit kept OC down. Then Gigabyte UD5 great 24/7 overclock, 4.6 Ghz, but had problems with high B clock + high ram frequencies. Then Evga Classified, think I just recieved a dud board, and New egg RMA ed it, but since no replacement in stock. lol. So hopefully the DFI will be a good compromise of all my previous boards.

Bleargh, it sucks when hardware decides to die just when you're starting to make some progress. A word of warning from me: be careful with your Elpida Hyper based memory. It seems like these IC's are accidents waiting to happen! I had a 0.01v overvolt on mine when one stick died, and googling the problem reveals many cases of dead Elpida Hyper memory.

What ram would you recommend for this board?

Wow very nice ram. What would you recommend sub $100.00 range? If thats even possible.

i.e. 19x200bclk might be fine with 1.37v cpu vtt, but 20x200 bclk might need 1.39-1.47v cpu vtt, 21x200bclk might need 1.39-1.55v cpu vtt. All depends on your individual cpu. Also cpu vtt voltage needed will also depend on your uncore frequency. The higher QPI frequency the more cpu vtt volts is needed. The higher the uncore frequency more vdimm is needed. (2nd link first post, in post #3 http://i4memory.com/f55/intel-core-i...ide-x58-13051/)

For prime95, linx, hyperpi stability again mentioned in 3rd link in first post in this thread http://i4memory.com/f80/i7-920-d0-df...ability-16617/ (everything you ever you need are in first post's links ;)

Nothing, im stuck in 3,8. I try almost every vtt/vcpu combination, even with ram at x6 instead x8, with more voltage in nb, but my cpu don´t like 4ghzs. Im limited by my cpu temps, that are insanely high for my cooling, reaching >84º easily in linx :shakes:

Maybe its time to try a 920 D0 or one of those great w3520 :rolleyes:

You can try gskill trident 1866 cl9 or pi white 1600 cl8.

I'll say perfect storm CL9 instead of trident ;)

After countless nights of researching motherboards I finally ordered this one. I am excited lol.

What bios is recommended with a I7 920 D0? Can you post links to the one recommend? thanks.

@eva2000 - Wow, that's a 83% OC - nice one :up:

05-08 has just been released as "official BIOS", and it is working fine with my w3520. I believe this would be your best bet for a i7 D0 too. download

nice clocks on that i7 920 d0 - what batch is your cpu ? another week 45/46 ? 3845/3846 ?

Who Know why my UT x58 alway shut down
power on run prime 4.2 g 7 min.. error

restart run prime 4.2 g 10 min.. error

then power on alway shutdown
again power on shutdown ...

i sleep

nextday
power on run prime 4.2 g 7 min.. error

restart run prime 4.2 g 10 min.. error

then power on it alway shutdown
again power on shutdown ...

my cpu temp not over 70C
nb 38c

have you disabled all current and thermal over protections ? tip #4 at http://i4memory.com/102537-post3.html (worthy link to bookmark and read) :)

Now that I started testing my uncore frequency overhead on W3520, thought I'd see how far I can push it on regular water cooling.

Dropped bclk to 210-214 and bumped uncore multiplier from 16x default with 8x mem multiplier, to 22x uncore multiplier and managed to push it to @4663Mhz uncore frequency Super Pi 32M stable, @4707Mhz for 4M stable and Everest and screenshot @4760Mhz uncore frequency !!!! Had to jack up both CPU VTT and VDIMM voltage to reach such uncore frequencies :)

Uncore frequency = 4663.5Mhz

http://fileshosts.com/intel/DFI/DFI_...3s219ms_tn.png

Uncore frequency = 4707.8Mhz

http://fileshosts.com/intel/DFI/DFI_...9s453ms_tn.png

Uncore frequency = 4760.2Mhz

They are starting to show up on some boards now. ;) But, they do not make any difference in clocking, why this rumor continues to live on is beyond me.

Hey Gary :)

Yeah new Asus super work station model ??? No diff in oc'ing ? like Intel says D0 make no difference over C0 ? :D

That one and a couple of others, which is why I know Intel and the motherboard guys were right about B3. ;) Actually Intel was emphatic that D0 would make a big change in clocking but the B3 stepping on the X58 was to address several PCIe power state changes and a couple of QPI errors, it was never about performance. I stated that a few months back but what the hell do I know. :D

Unfortunately no such cooling available to me as yet. But I'll still push in on water cooling - weekend night time forecasts very nice cold temps - going for 4800+mhz 32m pi :D

qpi errors - maybe fixes allow high QPI frequency head room/bclk hence higher potential clocks ??? We can always hope :D
