It can do FSB515 stable with 333er Strap and more than 1:1 divider with a quad :)

And that's with 2x1024MB , 4x1024MB or 2x2048MB of ram?
2x2GB, every DK should be able at least to push a Quad to FSB500 stable @ air. Some people reported that it does not care if 4x1 or 2x2 if you need 4GB with that board.
I was also in the understanding that this board just had to do high FSB/CPU Clock with a quad and 4Gigs of ram. :)Quote:

So from my experience it does matter whether one uses 4x1024MB or 2x2048 with this board.
I'll be getting myself a new pair of 2x2048 then. Glad to see it runs fine
Did wonder too ;)Quote:

That's with a E8600 right? For me running 4x1024MB with a E8600 on my DK P45 is no problem at all.
It's only when I switched to a quad the problems began.
I suspect that's because with a quad you'll need more VTT, more NBv and completely different GTL settings. Also of course, quads just simply will not run as high a FSB as dual cores.Quote:

Is there a known V-mod for this Board? I can only find the Vdroop mod and the readpoints.
Got it:
Maybe you can put it into the First Post:

I've been tweaking it for over a week, every evening at it for 3 to 4 hours. upping vTT, changing GTL's and raising vNB. Nothing helpsQuote:

So the FSB is not the problem, with 2x2048MB the board+quad does 500Mhz. I think the fact that all 4 slots are populated causes too much stress for this board. It just can't handle it with a power hungry quad installed. Also, the VRM temps are off the charts during a Linpack session
Right now I'm back at using 2x1024MB. Ordered me a kit of 2x2048 OCZ Flex 1150 which arives next week. Next month I'll be swichting to a Gigabyte EP45-Extreme. I see that board runs Quads with 4GB or bigger load much easier. I know my quad stepping has a lot of potential in it but I'm just not getting there on this DK P45.
Also, i'm missing more elaborate CPU-, NB-GTL and skew settings on this board, which clearly needs to be fine tuned for high quad clocks
I was very disappointed with Gigabyte. I had EP45-DS4 and 2 days ago i tried EP45-UD3L and it wasn't close in OC to my DK 45TRS+. Honestly, i haven't the quad but with DFI i go my E8400 to 4.5gHz easy with only 1.34V, Prime 24H stable. With that crappy boards i can't to do it. No matter what VTT, VNB, VCore i set. I'm not sure about EP45-UD3P or Extreme, maybe it's better boards.. BTW, not find GTL's in Gigabyte settings.Quote:

670 MHz but not the common way with SetFSB and Validation...Nooooo
Bootup 670MHz :D:rofl:
very nice angoholic:cool: same board?
i got replacement for my dead plus, but they couldn't find me another plus so they gave me a 'turbo' one, which is a plain t2rs, it even has A2 chipset:mad:
i'll report what it does once i find time to test it
no other board ;) but PCB Rev A2 the other is A3..tested the whole night
I think you may be very dissapointed with the Giga. I've just built a rig for a friend using the EP45-Extreme, and i can tell you that it will not get my 4 sticks to 563 fsb 1:1. The highest i could get them was 542 fsb.Quote:

I'll be running with 2x 2048MB on the EP45-Extreme , not with 4x1024Mb. So that's one problem less for me ;)
If you take a look in the EP45-Xtreme and EP45-UD3 topics, you'll see that people achieve amazing speeds with their quads with these boards.
And that's my point. The DK P45 is fine for dualcore procs , but fails short with quadcore cpu's. I agree that with the DFI boards you'll achieve maximum fsb's, but than again, quads will never do 650fsb like their dualcore brethren, so if the Gigabytes have al lower maximum fsb that isn't too bad, as long as one is using a quad core that is.
But thanks for the headsup on the UT P45. i'll look into it. It's a serious candidate for my upgrade :)
Perhaps it will be a UT P45-T2RS after all.:) been doing some reading about the EP45-Extreme and as it turns out, it has two rather important flaws imho. One, it has no Loadline Calibration Control which gives a huge vdrop and vdroop. The other flaw is on the backside of the board. near the CPU socket holes, there're some smd components sticking out, which can pose somesort of a problem when one uses a Thermalright backplate, which I happen to use.
Plus, I can get the UT P45-T2RS for 150 euro's
What's the best 24/7 bios here to use with the DK P45 T2RS PLUS ? I'm topping out at 570FSB Hyperpi stable 32mb... anything higher and I get rounding errors etc... Tried a zillion of combinations already (voltage, GTL's Skews), running out of ideas :)
Thx lads
I like that mobo, it works good with Quads and Core2 Duos ;)

Impressive as always :rolleyes:
And this kind of validation is funny :D FSB 680 boot soon ?
I'm planning to buy this board, but still confused between the plain, plus and turbo (T2RS series) .... what are the differences?
I'm planning to pair it with 9400, can you give estimate for how far this combo will oc using stock cooler? I know I should buy an aftermarket cooler but if it won't help much then I can save some bucks.
btw, I have read and do I really have no hope in pairing this motherboard with 4 sticks of RAM? at all? so I can't use 4x2GB RAM then?
Just a an update. I switched from my DFI DK P45 T2RS Plus to a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P... where my Quad would give up at running 4275Mhz stable with a 4GB load, I now run 4430MHz stable (9x492 5:6) That's with 2x2GB OCZ Flex2 PC9200 @ 1180-5-5-5-18 @ 2.13vQuote:

Also tuning the voltages and GTL settings is a LOT easier on the UDP3 than on the T2RS.
So people with Quads, you might want to try the EP45-UD3P. Just wanted to share some info :)
