Hello guys I received my board yesterday.
Too bad my D9GKX is being RMA'd and I have to use stock Intel heatsink.
A couple questions
- What do you press for boot menu?
- Did anyone else have problems with onboard LAN?
- As far as lights on the bottom of the board is it normal for one to be lit?
damn it, where's my board :(
There is enough room for the sli edition, interresting ! (no trouble with graphic card ?)Quote:

heres my final o/c with this mobo :)

I really really like this board. Stable as a rock on stock bios. I have not had a single issue nor have I had to re-set the bios once. Even after O/Cing to far, some how I can still get it to boot, changes my settings and she is good to go again.Quote:

3) The led at the bottom of the board is merely a power indicator, no problems...

Just installed mine...thank god no more p5b dlx!
i dont have any led on the board. Kinda strange but not a big deal. my board wouldn't post on dimms 1 and 3 but 2 and 4 seem to work just fine FYI.
Man I am overwhelmed by all the bios options.
I can't seem to get mine to post past 300fsb :\ I've tried so many different settings that it seems useless. I just can't seem to get a decent overclock at all.
Anyone else running 4x1gb ram? Also, what settings do you guys use in general for everything? And HDD port for SATA as well :o
this is frusterating >:[
edit : ok 400x7 is no problem. That's still pretty pathetic since my biostar did 478x7 no problem. I'm hoping there's just some options I still need to mess with to get the result I desire.
amm try just using 2 gb of ram.and have allok at rajus post at dficlub.Quote:

Nevermind I had 1394 disabled I though it was just to disable firewire but it seems it disabled the LAN.Quote:

it may be a bois error have allok on the dfi club forums .
then they need to hurry up and come out with a better bios, or else I'm selling this without too much money loss :PQuote:

for memory issues try setting all timings manually using someones memset setting for similar ram and speeds....
manual timing setting is normal with dfi boards...and these boards are a week old only
plus i'm sure i've seen 8gb screenshots at ocx
I've tried all 3 bios, and tried switching around the sticks, leaving things at auto, playing with settings, etc. I just don't think it's possible to run 4 sticks right now at a good o/c. HOPEFULLY it's a bios problem.Quote:

Other than that, it is a super board so far. Booted right up. Bumpped the FSB to 300 which maxes my ram around DDR800. No problems. :)
does anyone know how to get rid of the annoying memory testing during POST??? its really annoying...i have search thru the bios option but there is non of the option to do so.... by the way i am using the initial bios, hasnt flashed to the beta bioses as my friends is having some problem with them
Yeah, the option is there. But it doesn't do anything.Quote:

What annoys me more is how i have to take a stick of ram out after a CMOS clear.......... I have to manually set the volts to 2.1 or higher(2GBHZ) then save setting and put the other stick back in.
yeah i disabled it and it doesnt work so i tot there might be other setting... well overall this mobo is very fast to be frank :)Quote:

Oh nice, I have some crucial pc6400 2 * 2Gb ballistix here waiting for a board. Not available in UK yet. That shot is from a Asus by the looks...
Hi, just test my P965-s board, set FSB to 500MHz, multiple to X7, Vcore to 1.375v, vDimm to 2.2v. NB/SB voltages are on the default values.
Set dimm timing to: Mode3 - Auto - fast - fast - Auto .. 4-4-4-9-auto...
It boots into windows, runs superpi 1M no problem. Still testing.

This was the most helpful post in this thread for me. I tried setting my ram on Mode 3 and sure enough, I'm priming away at 472x7 with all 4 sticks of ram. I once again cannot boot above 480 because my e6300 has a cap, so hopefully me getting a good e6600 or 6420 will take care of that :)Quote:

Can u test with the same timings?
it would be grate to see some test near with the P5B-Dlx and Commando ;)
Is there a good thread/guide to overclocking with this board? It has so many more options than my DS3 and I'm scratching the head a little.

wonder by how far is the benefit of the enzotech northbridge heatsink over the stock one ?
I have one of this, but whats max FSB overclock? Whats i can expects?
hmm, heatsinking the mosfets do anything good? I'm worried about airflow since it's all water. guess the bottom fan of the psu will draw air up and out
The temperature of this mobo is quite good. The NorthBridge (Enzotech) and MOSFET are warm only when it is full load. ;)
QuadGT is god damn hot :slapass:
some quick results
500X8, RAM sub-timings not yet tuned, just set 4-4-4-9 <==smallest is "9" in BIOS, others are Auto ;)

Full load at 400X9, 24/7 setting
http://bbs.ocqq.com/attachments/foru...FGZTicVJ21.jpg
But I got problem with 400FSB at 4:5 ratio, it stopped after POST. I still not yet updated the BIOS, because I am very hurry to set up the new baby, any good of the new BETA BIOS?
that's some nice auto subtimings you've got except for trfc. You should be able to drop down a lot to say 25 or 28 with ease.
As for 4:5, I think the 402 addressed that, but I can't recall for sure.
I like 25 for Trfc :DQuote:

OK stop it already, I don't have one yet ;) :DQuote:

Now, there's one thing I'm going to be honest about the DFI in particular. A lot of people are saying that this board is some sort of an anomaly with respect to its clock-for-clock performance. Thus far I haven't seen any Pi time that's out of the norm and not achievable with other 965 boards. (FYI, sub-12m has been done by a couple at 4 GHz in 32M) Not that that's a bad thing, but I don't believe its special as far as efficiency goes. Still looks awesome though.
Edit: P.S.- if anyone wants to prove me wrong about the efficiency, please do so. ;)
What about this ;)
Take my word for it, I've done 11:07 at 4.4 flat (400x11 2:3). pp 2934800
He's on the same multi, pp- 3017323.2. Yeah, he's at CAS 5, but that's still a large difference in clock-for-clock performance. Nothing out of the ordinary for the result. If he were breaking into 300x maybe I'd start thinking...
It's been back instock since yesterday, but it was listed for $149.99. Glad they lowered it. Plan on picking one up this weeked from there or Newegg. Whichevers cheaper.Quote:

Love this board so much. :)
damn i should have waited for newegg woulda saved $10, oh well, mine should be here tomorrow, gonna through it under phase this weekend and see what she can do with my 6600
How's quad core overclocking in this thing?
Got mine!
*sigh* I think I want to replace my quad gt with one of these.
What's the max ram speeds people are getting 600mhz possible?

best i could do http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i5...O67890/600.jpg
Nice...what kind of ram is that?Quote:

Can Someone Explain To Me The Vcore On This Thing
Thank You, HAVE A NICE DAY
is it guarantee C2??
I'd imagine so
DFI Infinity 965 Dark @home :D
Too bad I don't have boblemagnifique's 641FSB E6600 anymore... BTW I know, new straps can be enable on this mobo... :)

usuallly it's a bit cheaper if you go through froogle. its $144 i believe... but then again there is always the wizbunny code that supposed gets you $5 off (when you don't use froogle).
i have to use ewiz since i get charged tax since i'm in TN. argh.
You can't use coupon codes on a promotional sale items. Too bad about the tax though. Do they charge it even if it ships from a CA or NJ warehouse? Are you gonna buy this & the 680i board or just one of the two? I'm thinking both right now, but I'm kinda happy with my current 680i board.Quote:

Looks like a new beta bios is out for this board. Will test it later.

Your sig says you have a Vapo LS, how does the socket kit fit on this board? The bigger solid cap's dont look to be a problem, but the series of surface mount caps along the edges where the insulation pads go may cause a problem with sealing? - May be ok, they might squash into the foam ok?
Whats your thoughts? :)

I'm really disappointed, I have had newegg set to auto notify me when this comes in stock twice now and I missed it both times, now NO etailer or even DFI has this in stock. yesterday they restocked at newegg and I got the email at almost 4pm, when I check the website a few minutes after it was already out of stock. I wish I could just get this thing, I have had no computer for the last month waiting for this to come out.
Anyone got in in Germany? I see Trend4pc delayed again till 4.05, wtf :slapass:
Haven't hooked the ls up to this mobo yet but it looks like the fit will be tight. I'll let you know.
wow talk about a tight fit with the mach gt mounting head, allmost didnt clear it, had to do some messaging of the caps around the cpu area to get er on there, anyways got it though just fired up:D
