Anyone here have a clue?

I only had to turn off PC then on again and all seams fine... Wierd...

I did have it with my brand new Tracer's before I swapped them with my super talent, and now is all gone. What it causes I can't tell you also but it something with the RAM looks like.

my old A8V did that with my samsung ecc when i took them to high, so i would expect that thats the same thing

does the lt-x38 "officially support" ddr2 1200?? or only ddr2-800 on the dfi web site is says 800.. i know it can be oc'ed past there but is it "officially supported: other companies say they officially support it.. just curious someone i know asked me this since they are interested in this mobo
02-13-2008, 12:38 AM

i think that its only official to 1066 since there are 1066 multis
02-13-2008, 07:43 AM
jcool

There is no DDR2-1200 from JEDEC... so I'd think no one really supports more than 1066 officially. Might be wrong though, but who cares about official support anyways ^^

These settings are wPrime 1024M stable, but nowhere near stable enough for Prime95. I don't mind loosing some speed to gain stability, but nothing seems to be working yet. Remember, I am running 4 Dimms (8GB) or ram with this, and I really don't want to go back to 2. Also, I am getting some about 62* C on 2 cores when wPriming. Should I reseat the water block? That does seem a little high to me.

Well I'm no superstar & I don't even have this x38 board but I hate too see people struggling.

The few things I would do would be firstly fling out 4gb of RAM & leave the RAM 1:1 until you have an Orthos/Prime stable rig assuming you want Orthos/Prime stable rig.

You may want to try playing with the GTL's around 100 or so based on your 1.503v vtt x 0.67 = 100.

You may also try setting the GTL+ Buffer strength to weak with or without GTL's enabled (works for some)

Return the PCI-E clock to 100 (no need to tweak that until you are stable)

I may be off base a touch here but don't those G.Skills have a max of 2.1v & have over voltage protection onboard. I think they don't like over volting ask Praz he's your man for these sticks.

NB voltage may need to come up a bit imo (worth a shot)

I would also based on what I have heard (not experience) manually set trfc out to maybe 50~55 till you get stable. I hear/see they like it loose & I would bet the board is setting 30~40 maybe.

62oC looks ok for 1.5v @ 3.7GHz imo

Hope some of this helps (ain't gona hurt to try)

C-N has some good recommendations...these are mine from what i remember when i had the board set up with a Q6600 and QX9650...these are by no means absolute settings...experiment from there (recommended settings in red next to your settings).

i wouldn't get wrapped around the axle with Prime95 for more than an hour...having Prime95 stable system is not an absolute guaranrtee that you are completely 100% stable in every condition.

There is no way in hell I'd recommend 1.8-2.0v PLL. Sure way to kill something.

Won't kill 65nm but 45nm may be a different story. But what PLL will do in that voltage range to any CPU is destroy max FSB. And it doesn't take long either. I've got several processors laying around here that has met this fate.

I am beginning to suspect my ram. I cant get it to pass memtest at 1000mhz anymore. Could my motherboard be overvolting the ram or is this g.skill stuff just :banana::banana::banana::banana:?

u shouldent run gskill over 2.10 unless u know that its micron hz, if u have powerchips or promos or qib stay below 2.10

also set the vid special add to something even the lowest setting

TBH I haven't heard of anyone that said it was s**t.

If you are failing memtest you are way out imo or something is broke.

I would go back to stock,start again & find something stable to work from before you lose it with the whole lot.
02-13-2008, 01:29 PM

I cant get it running at stock CPU clocks with these speeds. I am getting Hardlocks in memtest. Is there anything motherboard related that could be fueling this? I am starting to get a little depressed over this.

I mentioned earlier that my board had what looked like cosmetic damage near some of the northbridge traces. If they were actually damaged, that would = no boot, not memory and stability issues, correct? I don't know, I am just trying to get this figured out in my head.

Go back to stock 266 x 9 1:1 on the ram, surely you can get that stable?

I wouldent start with 8GB of RAM either 2/4 maybe.

You cant start overclocking from un-stable, you have to find a datum line/ start point.
02-13-2008, 01:51 PM

I haven't been using all 4 sticks since my instability issues in orthos because I figured that would remove some of the extra variables.

I will give you the 266x9 results shortly.

I am going to order some faster, 1gb ram modules and see if they help. If not, they will still be fun for benching later on. Please, if you have any ideas about what is wrong, let me know ASAP.

You're splitting hairs. Is this a desirable fate? max pll on 65nm is 1.5. Above 1.7 has been known to seriously "degrade" them. Anyway it should be about 88% of vcore.

What should be 88% of VCORE? PLL? The PLL voltage is spec'd at 1.50V +/- 5% for both 65 and 45nm processors regardless of VCORE.

I said they'd kill them, you said they'd degrade them. Whatever. I think you proved my point anyway. But, I guess if they have a bunch of cpu's to lose to degradation like you, then by all means, they can throw as much voltage as they want into them. I don't recommend it though. :P

BTW, the 1.5 is absolute max.

Maybe I'm missing something. The lowest setting I seem to have for Cpu PLL is 1.51v. How would I set it to 88% of 1.35v, which is my vcore?

You can't set it to 88% of 1.35V. 1.50 +/- 5% is the proper voltage according to Intel.

your chart is strictly for stock speed...intel doesn't support overclocking.

guys...what i recommended for SB was what i needed to support my overclock..you can do what you want...if you run your board 24/7 then stay at a lower overclock and therefore, a lower SB voltage....fairly simple.

just remember your in an extreme forum...i stress extreme!;)

Guys let's chill. No one here is naive to the point of "jumping the cliff" only because someone tells them to.

When you ask in a hardcore forum for opinions ppl will give the ones that suits them best and usually that worked for them.

That doesn't mean it has to be taken as absolute. You take little data from one and collect a little more from the other and that's it.

The best way to tune-up your system is to use common sense and use these opinions with caution.

divider problems:

i have problems changing divider in my bios, right now i am running 9x393 at div 266/667. This is the only divider which works - no matter what other divider i set i cant even boot! Even if i keep CPU at the same speed and even if i clock ram lower than what i have right now.

i just dont understant this! It just hangs at boot. With same settings, just divider changed, CPU/Ram the same or lower.

Yes. Bad ram, bad timings, bad OC, low volts. Did you try one stick of ram? If that still errors out, try the other. Usually only one stick goes bad, not two or more.

Try breaking it down into 3 parts. Cpu, ram, and fsb. Then isolate each one.

Razer your best bet is to test each ram module by itself.

1) Stick a module at stock with all in auto and Memtest it leave at least 5 runs on Memtest #4, #5, #7 and #8.

If it passes all of these go to the next module till you find the bad one...

3 of the 4 sticks I have are not working. So, I took a known working pair from a computer here (passed memtest) at work and put them in mine. Now, it will not boot and freezes anytime I try to load windows or even the installation disk. This is with the processor at stock speeds and voltages. Ideas?

using 4x2GB Gskill PC2-8000 2GBPQs ? test each one individually with tRFC manually set at say 52, 56 or 64 first and see

stick with 1:1, 5:6 or 2:3 dividers to test memory. Latest bios fixes 5:8 divider but 4:5 is still limited to 440FSB and 3:5 is a no go. Prior bioses may have no boot if you try using 5:8 divider even at 266FSB!

I cleared all the settings in the bios and loaded optimized defaults. Now, it runs fine. but yea, eva2000, I did exactly what you just described and only 1 stick passed at 800mhz. I am more than a little upset with G.Skill right now. I REALLY want my money back, but I doubt I will get it.

Looks like the manufacturers are doing good job there since DDR3 is out, it says to me that they really work on it so we jump up to DDR3 from DDR2. Since I don't know what to tell about it, more and more ppl are getting problems :(

this might also work for OCZ XTC Plats 2, assuming they are powerchips. (Its the same as reaperx, they sell them in Europe without the reaperx ramsink as "ocz xtc platinum 2")

A related question: Is it generally better to run ram 1:1 with FSB???? i read this once in a while. Then others say its better to run FSB and ram higher.

that can't be right for ddr2 memory speed, 800 mhz!?...that would mean the sticks have a rating of DDR2-1600???

D9GKX based memory seems to have issues with the P35/X38 chipsets. Doesn't clock as well as with other chipsets and requires more voltage.

ddr2-800, not system bus speed of 800. Actual bus speed when I was testing was 266mhz.

thx praz, just wondering cuz my tracers dont seem to clock very well. cant get them stable at 500mhz 5-5-5-15 at 2.2v.

could anyone recommend me some good ram for this board?

i would get some ballistix 8500 but the seemed to have changed the chips on them.:(

edit:

should i try a different bios im on the 11/28. thx

praz is right i got a pair of mushkins with d9gkx needs too much voltage for this board but i can do 4-4-4-12 @ 1120mhz 2.3v and cant get cas 5 stable even with 2.3v past 1000mhz
my ram is warrantied for 2.35v but i prefer to use less volts after 3 dead kits
my ballistix are now @ 1200mhz with only 2.1v

So, I just got in my new sticks of ram, and none of them work either. I am beginning to suspect the motherboard. I have set everything to loose and tried many times. but no go. So, what is vote: CPU or Motherboard?

don't think it's just D9GKX that acts that way (maybe not as bad CAS5 but similar CAS4) it's just the binning process at the time.. lots of D9GMH produced around 12-18 months ago behaved the same with same cas4/5 scaling at similar voltages until better binned D9xxx came along
02-15-2008, 11:26 AM

The D9GKX sticks I have will do 4-4-4/1200MHz+ on the 975, 965 and RD600 chipsets at 2.2V or less. I've yet to find a board based on the 35/38 chipset that these sticks will do the same without having to use 2.4V+ on the memory and a massive amount of NB voltage.

Can you test the sticks in another motherboard? Some systems are just plain picky :(

There was an older version of Memtest I remember hearing problems about. I haven't got my board set up yet - does DFI still put Memtest in the BIOS?

Memtest #7

Anyone knows what errors in Memtest #7 means in this board (too much volt for mems, too less, to much Vnb too less?)? :shrug:

I'm getting them with +/-1200Mhz + 4x1gb Tracer's 8500, what should I do?

its a bit expensive i think
ballistix 6400 39$ after rebate

Code:

even the tracers are 54$ no rebate worth the risk i think

not sure as i not 100% sure if i have any D9GKX in my collection of Micron D9xxx - see list below. But for benching I've used between 2.45-2.65v vdimm with no probs on my list below.

Guess i haven't been as lucky only 3 or 4 sets of my memory can do 600mhz 4-4-4-x and they all need 2.55-2.65v to do it.

@eva2000
I wonder if i should take the heatspreaders off my tracers because when i took them out one time and noticed a sticky sound from the TIM not making good contact with the chips themselves. since then i have a fan directly on them.

i guess ill take my chances with the regular ballistix 8500 because they are so cheap these days.

anyone know if there is any real difference between china vs taiwan made boards in the lt-x38.. on some boards it seems most people say the issues they have are on a china made mobo..i dont hear many issues with taiwan ones or at least no one has said they were taiwan ones?? just curious if there is/was any quality difference between the two?? thanks

I suspect some of the reported crucial ballistix module deaths have been due to such poor contact between heatspreader and ICs... as such if the heatspreader wasn't making contact, I'd remove them (very carefully with help of hair dryer). Risk is rma'ing them you could get the poorer clocking single sided ballistix modules as replacement :eek:

yeah I can imagine!... strangely though most of my ballistix modules can do 640-650mhz 5-4-4-x at similar voltages needed to do 600mhz 4-4-4-x !

he is probably talking about the vCore issue (some component had different specs than taiwan boards and thus the bios/vcore table was not corrent, resulting in wrong real vcore voltages as opposed to set in bios). The last bios fixed this.
have china board and cant complain. 3537Mhz Q6600 on Air OOCT stable....waiting for better fans in mail to attempt higher vcore and OC.

i dont trust Ram HS at all!! They come all off sooner or later. An idea would be either a) to remove them and screw warranty or b) use something like those strong foldback clips in addition to hold them in place.

clip them at the side so HS wont come off that easily.

yes that is what i read in a few places.. okay glad to know its fixed though since i recieved a china board.. was it inly on the early shipments of them since the one i recieved was just made recently?? thanks for the info

Yeah i used those clips + hair dryer to get another set of ballistix tracer's heatspreaders to make contact with the ICs and it worked!

clips you just slip off, i worked on one side of heatspreader at a time, heating the heatspreader up and then using a plastic credit card like cut out and my finger nails (mainly thumb) and started on the edges slowly lifting heatspreader and you can see the thermal pad slightly lift off if you're lucky, use plastic credit card like cut out to cut into the thermal pad further in, then re-heat and do it again until thermal pad on each ic becomes more loose.. re-heat as needed.

You'll get to a point where the whole one side heatspreader is pretty loose, then bit more prying pressure will get it off.. NEVER force it and take your time. Then do same for other side.

I had a board from both and they both died within 2 weeks. So for me it didn't matter where they came from ;)

I'm back on a spare P965-S I had stashed in the closet from when I was trying to determine whether low batch numbers overclocked better than later ones. Unfortunately this board is not the better of the 2 I had (the first one ended up in DFI RMA nightmare hell), but the overclock with my Q6600 is the same on this board as what I could get out of the X38. So outside of my Crossfire being slower on this board, everything else is the same.

I know my quad can go higher, but neither the P965-S (not surprising) nor the LT X38 (very surprising and disappointing) can take it there. Eagerly waiting for the Rampage.

yeah saw lot's of setup like the way u mention.

get the true n dont look back the 90i not as good for a quad
you can always dremel the nb sink if you want it facing back
i got a laptop heatpipe heatsink commin for the pwm:D
then i gonna get an hr-05 sli for nb
i prefer it facing back for airflow but most saying they get better temps with it facing up

User of DK P35-T2R also bend the fins of xigmatek 1283 to fit it blowing towards the exhaust.

can you give me some helps in settings E8400 Q746A366 @445x9 with my Dfi X38? I've tried some settings options without finding stability in daily use. Only spi1m bench...

BTW a lot of times when I start some stressing utility like Orthos or Prime the monitor freezes for 2\3sec. and then the system restarts.

My sistems is in the signature

Hope someone of you will answer my question, i need seriously some support.

Sorry for my English, I'm writing from Italy

Bye!!
