you can try and kill you board 100% garanteed:rofl::rofl:
i was the first one to flash x48 bios on my x38;)
With a E6850 is it necessary to adjust the GTL's ?
Not necessary howether you can get few(not much) Mhz. GTL are highly recommended for 45nm and Quad's
Back for another cpu switch on my trusty p35 , so far Ive ran her with a q6600 , q9650 , and a e5200 . . . got great clocks out of all of them but now i went for a E8400, G.Skill PI 9600 and I cant get her stable at 4.0 one core keeps failing i have ram at 1.1 divider timing at 5 5 5 15 pl 9 nb 1.5v vtt at 1.20 v and cpu at 1.35 v cant seem to get a lock down should i change up dividers or should i take gtl of auto and do 67 67 69 ? :confused:
Yeah gotta tweak those GTLs. I used to have a chart where I used a DMM and figure out what numbers I needed for 63% and 61% at various VTT levels.
i figure between 63 and 67 % , with a vtt of 120 ugh i wish i could find a old template , praz has alot but that guy like super oc ed the pc 35 lol , i put his setting dont even get boot
zsamz what about those ram setting on top fast fast or should i keep normal normal , im try the 333/800 hope i have more luck
Hope you find that template lol zsamz just been awhile messin with this board and the e5200 had all the ram setting tight , but now its all start from scratch again . . . I'm work on tommorow if I can't get the 9600 to give some love I'm take the 7200 pi out of my rig and run her at 9 x 450 . . . Some reason I always had problems pushing this board to 4.0 lucky you convince me on the gigabut board lol lol
ok ill put the e8400 to 3.6 with 6400 ram to work out voltages so far stable and at 67 67 67 and at 1.28 in bios @ 1.31 in windows at a 120 vtt 1.40 nb prime stable . . . going to keep lower voltage till she locks
you can try my settings.heres a template.there are more back at page 208 and 209
this is for 4.2Ghz,i have a 4.0GHz one on page 208.this is done with 2x1GB d9's though

hey radaja thanks was needed im work with this template , im try this out looks very good , think the pi 9600 will do this good :up: , im just want see where this cpu bottoms out for voltage so i can start there and raise back up :)
so far so good she pushing up slowly just right , got her voltage at 1.28v 120 vtt 1.35 nb and she at 3900 mhz . . . after I hit 4.0 im switching ram and using radaja temp plate . sorry about the low res pic but this pc is here at work so i can play with it overtime on this classic 18 inch screen

i might have to retire this board now after 3 years, its not POSTing after i did some cleaning with compressed air :( it turns on and i usually just have to reseat/move the rams into another slot when this happens before but it still has worked after doing it for a few hours..clear cmos/remove bat etc
its gonna be difficult to find a decent P45 board these days, i should've bought a DK P45 t2rs a few months ago when they were selling it at around $100. the only thing i can find brand new out here is a striker 2 formula @ $140
edit: it's still alive! turns out i had to replace the cmos bat..should've thought about that after having this thing running for over 3 years :)
Hey guys....so i got this board (DFI LANPARTY P35 T2R) from a friend in Johannesburg. He claims it got hit by lightning.
So he brought it down when he was in Durban and i gave it a go to try revive it.
I succeeded in getting it to POST. But i couldn't get the board to boot on any sort of device IDE SATA USB.
Well last night i put it in the oven again at a higher temp....of around 200degrees, let it baked, resting on 4 foil balls on each corner of the board.
Took it out of the oven, "Gas oven"...so temp could vary. And then put it straight into the deep freeze to cool down. The oven being off was open and cooling off. So put it back in there before condensation happened...
So this morning i put everything into the board...E8400, 8800GT 450watt PSU with all 12v rails connected...plugged in a SATA with windows on it.
Just went into safe mode just incase of stability...and well.
DFI is alive. Im probably the one of two dudes in South Africa with one of these thats still working. My previous one that got hit by lightning got sent back and i was credited soooo. Ive heard out of the 10 that were brought into the country i think its myself and Seth in Capetown with working DFI P35's.
Best boards ever.... Have a look....:D :D :D.

Way to go B :up:
The explanation of how you revived it sounds wild but looking at your video the board looks in good order..... not melted!
Can’t remember what I did with my P35, I haven’t got it anymore but my P45 is still strong as it was out of the box. Real sad DFI have given up I loved the X58 & I'm sure the P67 would have been sick if they made it.
Good to hear from you again :)
Hehe
Yup gotta love motherboard reflow....just in the oven.
Have a look here.

Um so now ive gotta get some decent DDR2 stick, ive got one piece of ballatix 1gig...DDR2 1000.
So would be a plan to use that. But want to use my E8400. coz of its higher FSB which ive taken her to..lol 600. Want at least 620.
So time to start clocking again :D....about dam time aswell.
Craig keep well. Should start having this thread more active soon.
I've reflowed RAM loads of times even done a CPU once but I always melt something... bit of plastic, timing sticker etc. Works well though.
I dont have any good DDR2 anymore its all been begged & borrowed off me otherwise I would send it over. My 8500 still makes 600+ fsb no problem & has been running 4GHz 24/7 for years @ 1.25v!!! cracking CPU.
I'll keep a look out for some results, have fun :D
Craig....hav you got drivers for me to download?
Hehe Reflow FTW :D
Yes mate, I keep all that sort of stuff & it still comes in handy now and again.
I think they are still on the DFI website but it's down atm.
I have my DFI P35 file here got some bios's in there too, just rar'ed it up & uploading it to mediafire right now. I'll post the link when its done. Don't know how up to date they are but should get you going.
