725 beta bios
Many thanks dude.What improvements does this bios add to the board?
welcome! :up:
Major Reasons of Change:
1. Fixed system can not display with some Graphic card.
2. Optimized system O.C. function.
3. Fixed on board audio record function.
4. Fixed “Execute Disable Bit” function fail.
5. Fixed USB keyboard fail to hot key to reload CMOS.
Hello. I address on this forum for the first time and I hope to me will help with my problem.
My configuration:
E3110
X48-T3RS
2x1Gb Cellshock BLUE 1866GHz ( http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/C...15000U_CL8_2GB

I CPU seems stable in OCCT in a current of 6-8 hours 450x9. My memory allows to be loaded in OS using a thong 400/1600 with pressure 1.93-1.95V... But is extremely not stable. Pressure increase leads BSOD or "the black screen" stiffens...
I used in BIOS:
CPU VID Control....................... 1.34
CPU VID Special Add Limit....... Enabled
CPU VID Special Add.................. Auto
DRAM Voltage Control.......... 1.93-1.95
SB Core/CPU PLL Voltage.......... 1.51

RAS # Precharge (tRP).....................7
Precharge Delay (tRAS).................. 21
Skew Model 1,3,5 - BSOD/2,4,6,7 - Crashed in a current of 2-3 seconds OCCT.
Common CMD to CS Timing............ 1N
I have left other values by default. Whether my options are correct? What should I change?
Thanks.
I am sorry for my bad English...
I don't know if you have already tried but just for testing purposes try "disabling" your GTL REF Voltage Control and just use the Auto settings. I've run a few different chips on this board (QX9770, Q9550, E8400, and E8500ES) and they were all capable of 450Mhz x 9 without using GTL REF Voltages (of course all systems are different but give it a try). Besides that your voltages look resonable (except maybe disable the "CPU VID Special Add Limit"). The 400/1600 divider seems to be the most reliable and forgiving so that is fine. You could also try testing just your RAM (using bootable version of MemTest or Windows version of Memtest), just to make sure your RAM is not the problem. Last but not least, what BIOS are you currently using? By the way welcome for the forum!
Must be nice, both of my Sapphire's won't work on this board. I'll know in a few minutes if the new version works ;)
Odd, Sapphires are what I'm using.

I agree. Looks like I may other problems, that didn't fix it ;)
It get's to POST code 75 or 7F depending if I hit the Del key, but no output to monitor. The board is fine, just came out of the box.
Just tested both cards in another board, they work fine. This is DFI's problem.
Guys is there any good soul following this thread willing to give me a hand with overclocking my Q9450 with this motherboard and corsair dhx ddr3 rams??I'm a bit of a noob with all these new settings and i'm a bit scared of touching stuff..If so just send me a pm so we don't flood the forum(with my stupid questions :P )
I used 7.14 and 7.25...
And I am confident in the stability of its processor... OCCT test "CPU" seems stable during min 8-10 hours...
Perhaps I should change your memory in the BIOS, but many settings DFI does not allow me to do it right quickly.
I spent a long time, but had not made good progress.
Today, I checked the memory of the default through Memtest of Windows - the result 0 errors...
I also appealed for help in Cellshock BLUE theme in this forum.
Thank you.
What PCI-E slot are u using?. Try other....

Good work Praz
You're fast. Thanks.
Praz - Your one of the few people I've seen who enable the settings below. I just enabled the settings myself to see how it effects my settings and benchmarks. What benefits do you see from enabling these settings (being one of the few who does enable them)? I assume the main benefit is the powersavings and maybe lower tempertures?
Thermal Management Control................Enabled
PPM (EIST) Mode...........................Enabled
Limit CPUID MaxVal........................Disabled
CIE Function..............................Auto
Execute Disable Bit.......................Enabled
Virtualization Technology.................Enabled
Thermal Management Control - Does nothing if the processor does not reach an excessive temperature.
PPM (EIST) Mode - Fine stepping speed and voltage throttling which I disable in Windows (Vista).
CIE Function - When VDROOP is set to enabled drops mutiplier to 6x and lowers voltage when idle. The system is completely stable so might as well take advantage of it for a 24/7 machine.
Execute Disable Bit - Designed for the prevention of buffer overflow attacks. So there is no good reason not to have it enabled on a 24/7 machine. Some claim that it causes instability. Not true. If stability becomes an issue then the system wasn't stable to begin with.
Virtualization Technology - With what I do has no effect one way or the other so I just leave it as is.
Benching I would set those differently. But for 24/7 I use the settings as posted.
On your last benching with t3r,did you use 400/1600 strap? I cant go beyond 450FSB with any other strap except 400/1600 and 266/333 strap hardly make it up to 440
Well im now the owner of a t3rs:up: and ive got to say its a very cool looking mobo with all the hs and fins that seem to do a good job at keeping the temp down when benching. I did take some advice from Praz and mount my mcw30 on the nb and it works a treat. My question is can i over clock ddr3 as much as ddr2 and is it better to drop the timings or up the mhz?
Thanks paul
Quake6
I'm running 500FSB with the 400/1333 strap/divider. Will try to get some settings posted up in the next couple of days.
Wilson
Need to try the memory both ways to know. A lot of variables that will affect the outcome.
Ok guess i need to test to find out, also can alybody post the 45nm GTL ref chart please ive got the 67% chart.
Thanks Paul.
Thanks Praz for above information, it was cool of you to explain those settings to me! Despite my best efforts I couldn't figure out their actual purposes (could only find definations of settings not what they did), lol!
Will try to get settings posted this evening, tomorrow at the latest, as whats required to use the 400/1333 setting. There are several settings that are broke in the BIOS when using this strap/divider. If left at default or manually set wrong will result in a no-boot even at stock speeds.
Is that with the 609 bios as ive had c1 errors long beeps and no bootup and if that`s because of the broken straps then it will all make sence lol.
Also this is what i was after.
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...gtltable-s.jpg
Yep i can vouch for that i can only boot on 400/1333 strap ive even flashed to the 725 and still the same and i get error codes that arn`t in the book like 01 and 46 ???? Its very strange:yepp:
At least 725 allowed me to pass occt.

That's good to see had just about given up on seeing that:up: So what was the secret ??Quote:

Ok heres one for you if i have 2 hdd`s in raid 0 and i want to set up a 3rd for storoge how would i do this as the raid driver picks it up the 3rd hdd as a raid device and wont let me boot up . Do i need to enable the j-micron controller and install the driver for that? Then how do i set it up in the bios.
Cheers Paul
you can add a third hd & initialise it in disk mamagement, the Matrix raid controller just sees it as a seperate indipendant drive. To add a 3rd drive to a raid array, means rebuilding the raid completely.Quote:

Is there a way of keeping my raid0 and using the 3rd as a storage with ide drivers? And what does convert to dynamic disk do ?

anyone noticed crazy temp readings with this board? using zerotherm fz120 which is the copper one and temps read into the 80C range then auto shuts off at just 1.4 vcore. had this chip in a gigabyte p35 board and at 1.5 vcore never got out of the 60C range. thinking of switching to zalman 9700 but the zerotherm is even higher rated on anandtech. adjusted the cpu temp in bios to -8C. but don't want to fry the chip either
Burnwhat - What chip are you using and have you tried re-mounting your heatsink a couple times (just to make sure the mount is correct)? Your temps (depending on what chip your running) are quite high to say the least so I assume there is something going on? Also what BIOS version are you running at the moment? To answer your question, no, I have not noticed any weird or abnormal temp readings and I've used a few different chips (both quad and dual cores)?
short specs:
xeon 3110
patriot ddr3 1866
2 x wd velocirators raid 0
bios 7/25
i have tried numerous re-seats of the heatsink, even tried the aluminum version from a friend with the same temp results. at stock volts running orthos small fft temps are in the mid 50's. to switch to the zalman got to take out the motherboard to seat the backplate so don't want to do that. are u using air or h2o?
fyi - zalman 9700 beats the zerotherm fz120 and the aluminum counterpart. zalman keeps temps at least in the 60's under same load/volts as the zerotherm couldn't keep it from 80's and shutting off.
That speed seems to be the sweet spot for the board as for as voltages go.
my result with D9JNL :)

Anyone able to get over 530 fsb stable on this board? Seems to be the wall for me so far.
http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...etro/8x530.jpg
Is it because of limitation from the chipset or the BIOS from DFI?
Why this mobo can't pass 530 FSB like the DDR2 version...???
I'm still wondering why until right now...
Coz if I take a look at the other competitor like Asus RE could pass 600 FSB so easily...
So what's the point to make that different by very big margin I think..??
It is a BIOS limitation...I've seen 550+ fsb on other dfi x48 boards.
I've seen it as have many others.
There are quite a few of us over at dficlub who cannot get over 535ish fsb stable no matter what we do.
Might be time to switch boards.
BlackDragon24 - I am in the same boat as you although you have gotten a bit further than me, best I can accomplish is 510FSB while still maintaining any stability? Like many here I've been working at it for many months and have tested each and every BIOS released so far but still can't break much over 500FSB? Although there has been much improvement since early BIOS versions but I just don't see a miracle BIOS to be released anytime soon and I'd be surprised if DFI continues to release new BIOS versions in the near future (but I could certainly be wrong). Granted 500FSB is enough for 24/7 use but I'd like to be able to push things a bit further if for no other reason than its just fun to do so! With that said I've been trying to figure out a new motherboard to switch to, even been considering going back to DDR2.
The cooling is supreme what are the temps in load/OC?
Major Settings
CPU: 4050Mhz (1.250v)
RAM: 1800Mhz @ 7-7-7-18 1T (2.00v)
NB: 1.566v
SB: 1.51v
VTT: 1.210v
Idle Temps
CPU: 26C-28C
NB: 34C-41C
Load Temps
CPU: 48C-56C
NB: 45C-53C
All voltages listed above are the BIOS settings (actual voltages tend to be a bit lower at idle and the gap grows under load). I only listed a few major settings to give you an idea of what my settings are in relation to temps under idle and load. The large temperature range I've listed is because at the moment I'm under straight air cooling (stock cooling) except for CPU in which I'm running a Thermalright XP120 Extreme with lapped base. The system is setup on a test bench (not in a case) so expect somewhat higher temps if system is mounted in a case (depending on air flow through case). Feel free to ask if you have any other questions
Hey Roger sorry it took me so long to get back....if you are interested here are my settings for what is now a 24/7 stable OC. System specs in sig

First of all great job getting your system stable on this board with those settings (I'm sure it was no easy task)! I'm especially impressed with that FSB speed and the fact your running the 400/1333 divider, that can be a very tricky setup to even boot on so getting it stable is awesome! Add to that your running a 2 x 2GB kit of DDR3 makes it every more impressive! With that all said thanks for posting all those settings, I realize its not quick or easy to copy down all those settings and I'm sure many people will benefit from them. I'm sorry if I have already asked you (I looked back a few pages and couldn't find it) but do you know what IC's are on your OCZ Reapers? Praz did some great work on his 2 x 2GB kit but I couldn't get anywhere with my 4GB kit (running D9GTS). I have a feeling that I need to work with getting the Drive Strenths and DLL Skew Models correct before I'm able to push my 4GB kit to decent clockspeed (heck I can't even get them working at default clockspeeds and timings)! Thankfully my 2GB kit of STT Project X runs very strong at low voltage! Well thanks again man for all your help!
Thanks!
It was no problem at all to post the settings....I had already done it here.

It's kinda like a diary OC thread...check it out if you wanna go thru the trials and tribulations....what is interesting in my case is that the 400/1600 seems to be a lot harder to stabilize. Unfortunately I don't know the IC type on my reapers...any way to find out without ripping the heat spreaders off?
Ok couple of updates...been working on tuning the 400/1600 divider and it has been to say the least, a challenge. But its looking good.
