so thats with your gkx right, then my theory would be correct and i think that there is a setting that we are missing some ware, or with adjustments to the fine delay gkx and whatever have will work correct

n i can drop performance level ny 1 compared to my ballistix
but still this board loves ballistix best 1200mhz +
with d9gkx its just piking the right fsb+ running 5-4-4-9 or 4-5-4-12
whats with the board revisions?
Mine is Rev. A China , got it in January
Any "serious" differences?
i think that they just came with diffrent bioses and there was a problem with the voltage table for the NB with the china boards, mine is a tiwan
I got everything put together and now I have a new problem.
Its the memory.
I have 2 pc6400 crucialx sticks and all it does is the standy power LED blinks and thats it.
Junk memory or what?
chek your power connections properlyQuote:

one stick boots the other wont.
typical luck
I purchased these as a matched pair but I bet that there is no such thing.
2 sticks one little box last year when they were selling for $60.
not sure what they do on replacements..
any good 2G sticks for this board if not any good 1G sticks I should be looking at?
My other system has Gskill bhz and I don't want to strip that system to get this working.
yup they fixed the bios for the china boards n now my taiwan board gets less volts for nb :rofl:Quote:

Hello guys :wave:
What u may recommend for watercooling north bridge?
Swiftech MCW30 is only choice?
And for cooling south, will be passive radiator enough?
I think about Enzotech CNB-R1 or CND-S1L, how they perform?
Hi,Quote:

For SouthBridge haven't seen better then the SLF-1:
http://i32.tinypic.com/fx5gkx.jpg
If you don't care about looks/sexiest get the MCW30 it will do the job also.
Hm, I like how enzotech looks very much :up:
But may I ask - Enzo SNBW will it fully cover NB? It seems basement not square.
And about SLF-1 - will be enough just passive, without fan?
I'm planning to run quad at ~500 FSB
Thx
GSkill 2x2GB 4BGPQ PC 8000, --> cheap, good.Quote:

The SNBW covers nearly the entire northbridge. I have one on mine and it works fine. Another NB block that works is DangerDen MCP-Universal and it comes in sexy brass tops!Quote:

Do you have the SLF-1 currently installed? I was thinking about getting one. Do you think there are any clearance issues for a second vid card in the middle PCIe 16x slot? It looks just a little bit close...Quote:

Hi,the board have problem with Vista X64?
to all looking to watercool the chipset dangerden is coming with a special block designed just for the p-35 and x-38. I saw it from hardocp forum a person working from DD said so. let just hope it covers all of it and released soon.
dose any1 still sell the bios blocks i think that i need to get a spare if im going to go over 500 fsb since ive already had to reflash my bios
and how do u tell what delays to use im not getting how this works and zamz recommendations wouldent post, but i did get this at 1ghz c4, the c4 is better for general use from what ive been doing so im sticking with that for now
i go that better with the fine delay, but i need to up the read
well its time for new memory and I don't know what to do.
dfi x38 UT
E8400
TRUE 120
any memory get this to 4g on a good day LOL
anything close and I will be happy.
2x1G sticks or 2x2G sticks ?
xp pro 32 bit
what should I do?
yes zanzabar you better with cas 4 like me ;)Quote:
Originally Posted by zanzabar
go 505 or 510 fsb its much better;)
zanzabar i'd sell ya one of my chips for 10$ but you in the us
but the guy i bought it from is in cali verry close to you
he goes by biosdepot on ebay been dealin with him 5 years now
good service n gives 90day warranty too n real cheap
so do i just need any 8MB block or is there a specific one
and i saw other boards getting to 1ghz c4 with performance lvl 7 is there any chance that i can get that has any1 gotten that on the dfi
just the brand gotta be the same i thinkQuote:

to be honest my spare chip works better than my original chip
i cant wait to flash the x48 bios in ;)
Humm not that this make any difference but does the Swifech MCW30 cover the hole surface of the x38 chipset?Quote:

I'm moving on to water on NB's too...
the chip is 10% larger than the p35 it just has an ihs on it so it dont have to cover the whole thing just the middle
See what I mean: :down:
http://i29.tinypic.com/2vmsq4k.jpg
Probably they made the X48 chipset flatter :-)
Hm, for cooling NB Ive found that my previous EK Asus 1 block covers NB just ideally. Only problem is that mounting holes don't much, so I make mounting plate for it (similar as D-Tek Fuzion).
And for SB I'll use Enzo CNB S1-L, fully passive without fun.
Thx to all for advices.

But let me annoy u and ask last time about SB :)
Will be Enzo block CNB S1L (without fan) enough for SB cooling? Or should I get MCW-30?
I just dont want to use a fan, or huge heatsink like Thermalright 05 becoz of some austethic reasons.
So ENZO CNB or waterblock?
Thx again
Wow, i have that same block for my striker extreme. I wish i have the time to make something like that. or why dont ek make a adapter so it will fit. nice job rioja can you post temp of it?
the link for the DD block for NB is

oh yeah, this is question i thought many times about. those plate costs just cents, and could be made in less than hour even without automatic instruments.Quote:

Someone here had posted about using a backing plate when mounting a waterblock for CPU. I took things apart today, and added the backplate I got with my Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme HS.
With new thermal paste with no "cure time", my temps have still dropped by 5 C. In addition, the temp variance between cores has been reduced by 2-3 C.
I am working on setting things up for "everyday" use right now. my system is running Prime 95 @3600 MHz (9 x 400 MHz FSB) with only 1.2750 vCore in BIOS. Smart Guardian is reporting it as 1.29 CPU.
It used to take 1.2825 vCore to do the same thing with my old DFI Lanparty UT P35-T2R, so I am pretty happy about that:)
So for whoever posted the backing plate idea (was it you C-N?), I thank you:up:

I got a 60mm x 25 mm fan today to use to cool my PWM area on motherboard. I have temporarily mounted it with velcro tape, but need a more permanent and substantial mount. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas/proven techniques?
While the mount right now is temporary, the results I am obtaining mean it should be a permanent addition. At 3600 MHz and 1.2750 vCore, my System (PWM) temps were hitting up to 67 C with no fan. Mounting the fan to draw hot air away from heatsink brought temps down to 58 C. But mounting the fan to blow down onto the PWM heatsink has dropped my temps by 27 C (from 67 C to 40 C).
For those who have been wondering if adding a fan is worth the time, my results certainly say yes. Now if I can just figure out how to mount it more securely...
I am trying it with snap ties going through spare holes in D-Tek chrome mount. So far it seems to work ok, but if there is a better idea, I would love to hear it.
hope someone can give me some info about temp readings.
E8400 and a TRUE cooler
at 400 buss and 3600mhz
running orthos beta room temp is 68F/20C
I am trying Praz setup and Clunks too
dfi monitor shows
Idle----throttling here back to 2200 on boot
CPU 12C
SYS 31C
Chip 30C
after 30 minutes load with orthos I show at 3600
CPU 31C
sys 34C
chip 32C
OCCT shows the same on CPU temps
I tried coretemp 95.4 beta and 97.1 neither work...they just show 45C
the only voltages I have modified over stock are memory and NB
Memory 2.0
SB 1.51
NB 1.291
CPU 1.1
I just don't feel these temps are correct..what do I need to use to measure correct temps.
IF they are correct I am going to try 450 and see what it goes to.
thanks for any and all help
1. the first thing to do is look at your other temps.
2. let your system shut down and cool off so that everything is the same temp.
3. turn on your machine, IMMEDIATELY hit the bios and the pc health page.
now look at your NB temps. chances are they will be roughly the same temp as your room. (only at first boot though after that the nb will get warmer and warmer depending on the voltages you use for it)
4. Now look at your cpu temp in the bios.
5. take the difference in those two temps and adjust accordingly.
mine was around 10c cooler. so i added roughly 10-12c to my cpu temps.
the same is true for windows, just look at your nb temps and add a few degrees.
you will ALWAYS know that your cpu is warmer than your room. always.
on air or water your cpu can never be lower than the temperature of your room, ie; ambient temps.
there ya go....
you guys sitting here freaking out about your temps... it doesnt take a genius to figure out how to calculate your temps to a rough number.
well my bios temps show the same thing.
I get worried when I see cpu temps lower than ambient.
I am in the shop and airtemp right now is 64F/17.7F
cpu 12C this is in the pc health status in bios.
Boot into windows and it shows 13C.
so 12 + 10 =22C idle by your statement.
I will buy that.
But max temp is 24 this morning so +10 = 34C running at 410 FSB ?
with these voltages 410 is max stable in windows, anything else and it wont finish the windows and reboots.
is there any program that will display correct temps? I can't believe that coretemp doesn't even run on this system.

anyone go past 555fsb yet if so post your settings
i been tryin n will keep on tryin
Best I've done is a 1m pi at 525, but haven't really pushed the voltage.
Had a freaky thing happen today though. I was playing around running 3d06 with a mild oc. Nothing more than I've run before. The system just died. Tried to reboot multiple time, but nothing but C1 error. I reset cmos, still nothing but C1 error. Tried 1 stick of ram and different slot, C1 error. Different video card, C1 error. Took out the battery, C1 error. Left out the battery for an hour, C1 error. I was like sh[t I borked the board. Decided to try the other stick of ram again and it fired up. I though well I've got a bad memory module, but put the other back in and in ran fine. Strange. It must have been the cmos, but I've never seen this happen before. Just glad she's running again.
Which block did you purchase? I am curious about which ones will fit this board.Quote:

I am also running 4-4-4-9 timings on my memory with a 4:5 divider (500 Mhz memory speed) with 2.15 vDIMM. It seems that what the fan over the PWM heatsink did was give me stability, and the confidence to move ahead to bigger and better overclocks.
As for going with an aftermarket PWM waterblock or heatsink, I am a littleskittish after doing the same with my DFI LanParty UT P35-T2R ended up in an expensive lesson in welding (I shorted across MOSFETS when I tightened block to point where it shorted through tape to cooler). It was an expensive lesson:(
For SB I'm not sure, it seems it should be one of MCW30, Enzo or one of hundred from EK, but which one? :shrug:Quote:

Got my DFI a few days ago, so I'll join the club folks :)
Didn't get to set it up yet, since I only returned from the mountains yesterday. Will be firing the mobo up with my Q6600 with the new single stage unit I got, hoping to get to the CPU's stable FSB limit (was around 480 on the Abit IX38) :)
For cooling, I will go with Mips PWM and NB blocks when they arrive next week, until then it's stock + fans (hope that will do).
Which bios to use anyways? Using 4x1GB D9GMH, the quad and single 8800.
Thanks for that. I'm in the US, so I'm not sure where I can get those. I'll have to do some looking. Are those G1/4 fittings?Quote:

I was using a Thermalright HR-09 U Type 2 MOSFET cooler. It was shortened a bit, and was mounted using small nuts and bolts rather than push pins. I used thermal tape between it and MOSFETs, and the thermal tape was cut to fit in between the raised row of components that is closest to the CPU area. These raised components had Arctic Cooling MX-2 thermal paste on them (the factory puts thermal paste on these as well).Quote:

I got a short across the MOSFETs and the cooler, even though the thermal tape was there. I believe it was because the layer of thermal tape got too thin. Note: There was direct metal to metal contact at the MOSFETs. The only metal/thermal paste/metal contact was in the same area where the factory heatsink had it. Also note, I used insulating washers on both sides of the motherboard, the same way the factory did in other areas.
Shorting out my motherboard was an expensive lesson ($360 CAD plus a lot of time), and for those who are planning on adding aftermarket blocks, I urge caution when tightening mounting hardware.
For me, going with the 60 mm x 25 mm fan over the factory heat sink makes sense. It is keeping my PWM area within 1-2 C of what the NB chipset shows in Smart Guardian, and the NB is a water cooled block (temps right now in Samrt Guardian while Prime 95ing at 3700 MHz for 4.5 hrs are: CPU=48 C, System=37 C, and Chipset=35 C).
If I had something like a MIPS waterblock instead of arrangement I have now, it would look a bit prettier and be a little bit quieter, but based on my NB vs System temps in Smart Guardian, it would only gain me a very small improvement, while adding the risk of another short.
I've got this board on the way right now, should be here on Tuesday. I also placed an order for the Enzotech Mos-C1 sinks. NB and SB are going on water, so I was just curious if these will be enough passive, or if I need to throw a fan on them? I just can't wait to get this board :D
how is this board for a q6600, im about to grab one for myself???? also im going to be using my g.skill 4gb 8000 set, anyone using this set, how is this board overall??
Ok folks, I finally got my rig up and runnin' again... took some time since it's my 1st single stage cooled system, but it runs great now (no leaks so far ^^)
Put my Q6600 straight to 4Ghz using a mere 1,4V and it seems to run out of the box, nearly everything in bios set to auto :D
Cool thing that board can read negative temps in Bios, and it has no qualms about running 4x1Gig either.
I left the stock HS on the SB and put some Alphacool block on the NB I had lying around, works a treat. 39C NB@1,39V currently, PWMs are rather cool too but I guess that's partly because of the subzero cooling.
Will post some pics later this week when I get to clean up this mess... for now, I'm glad to have my mainrig back online.
Hi all I've read this post (and yes its getting long) from start to finish and referenced it a couple of times --> good stuff. Anyway, looking for a 24-7 overclock so I have a Q6600 at 3.6 ghz (using Praz's setup -->thanks btw) and I was wondering about temperatures. I'm using 120 extreme with push/pull 1600 rpm scythe's the northbridge cooler is so close to the 120 I don't use a fan on it. A 60mm blows on the pwm area. Closed case 5 case fans 2 hd 2 optical in a smaller case. Running OCCT 2.0a the system peaks at 68 c on two of the cores the other 2 are consistently 2-3 degrees cooler. cpu temp reads 65 the pwm (system) hits 55c and the northbridge (chipset) hits 45c this is with an ambient temp of about 22c. Idle i'm getting 31 cpu 36 pwm 38 northb. 68 is kinda gettin up there anyone think this is a problem?
p.s. prime 95 runs cooler
new OCCT should use same CPU testing code as P95, AFAIK.
Btw. i got about the same temps, below 70 (68-69) on Q6600 at 3537 with 1.44 Vcore. I try to keep under 70 on the cores.
I got these temps on my core with this bios config:Quote:

I use 2 CoolJag Everflow 40x20mm (18CFM) with a Zalman Fan Mate 2 to cool PWM, with that setup there is no need to use water on PWM.
One fan is placed on top of the PWM blowing air to it and the other one is installed outside the case attached in the backplate drawing air from the PWM area. I will post pictures If someone ask.
aghkper jan if you liked the dq6 you will know its garbage compared to this boardQuote:

ok got my e8400 to 4GZ and ran orthos for 2 hrs no problems max temp was 48C
thats +10 of the reported temps just to be sure.
How do you get core temp to report temps on this board ? Locked at 45C
I am using the posted settings by praz and of course its throttled at boot 6x266
under load its 9x445.
I tried turning off throttling and it boots under windows but if you try to run any programs it crashes, then won't reboot.
it gets into windows and runs orthos fine but with no throttling it won't boot into windows at full speed...
bios settings or hw on the line ?
Please do post pics, we like pretty pictures here. :yepp: :p: :up:Quote:

OCCT 2.0A has the four core temps displayed as its running. Kinda nice and I watched the "cpu" temperature beside it on Smart Guardian.
I was reading up on this business last night after posting and this is what I have learned so far--> Smart guradian is watching Tcase (center of the die temp) while OCCT (or core temp) is reporting the T junction (each individual core). Q6600's with go stepping are allowed to reach a Tcore max of 71c. I only 58c running prime 95 but i think i was using the wrong version. Just dlin a new one. I hit 65 (Tcase) running occt @ 99.83 cpu load for 2 hours. Doubt I'll get anywhere near that, even gaming. I should be good.

I am having some space issues with my heatsink and the northbridge sink, how much do you think it will hurt the performance of the northbridge sink if I cut off about 1/3 of the cap on the northbridge heatsink in order to get the heatsink to fit the way I need it?
Here is what I am talking about, please excuse my lack of paint skills but this will give you an idea of what I am talking about.

it should be fine solong as u dont nick the heat pipe but u might want to swap into the thermalright
Waaaa?!??! :confused: :( :shrug:Quote:

I was saying that yeah he didn't seem to have any issue, and I understand why now he got a great board. I got a Rev.001 board and I never had any issue what so ever with it, with the Rev.000 was bugs after bugs.
So I just think Praz is not posting results with Q6600 because he moved on into 8500's.
If you got any comment of my in wrong way just ignore it never my intention. :yepp:
My temps are way better now man I'm telling ya don't mess with original PWM cooling.Quote:

blowing air into pwm area: http://i29.tinypic.com/1z3xqno.jpg
Just connected the wires together and made them go into 3rd fan connector and I regulate speed with Zalman Fan Mate2... Very simple.
I would tost that crap in the garbage and put anything else from Swiftech or Enzotech in the place... The original heat sink doesn't make a perfect contact (unless you got lucky and received a match with the mobo witch was not my case). Just make sure to install and uninstall many times to be sure it's good.Quote:

we wont be tossing boards for x48 they are the same thing (maybee for ddr3 we would)
In my case I was payed for that setup (my cousin has it now) and I just brought a new low vid Q6600 and then when I was shopping for another X38 zipppp no more. Thats why I got the X48 (for the same amount or less then my X38 setup)...Quote:

tnx for the pic's Jor3IBR :D I'll try it out this way and report if I'm getting any better stability :)
i just put in the hr-5/ifx got 5c-6c temp drop with intel stock fan
i'm @ 29c on nb now was 35c 2 hours ago with stock heatsink n 80mm fan
i kinda wish i got the sli version cause no way to get my true blowin out the back
its blowin out the top lol
i finally installed heatpipe cooler on pwm properly n only a 1c drop for me i'm @ 33c
do u guys think that this would fit on the mosfets (i know that its for the 780i)
