on my ut x58 the PWM temperature is very high if i prime. now it´s at 78°C

so in other words that massive cooling isn't enough to do its job?? :confused:

:(:( temps are too high still is like the board was naked or something :/ Andre doesnt seem to have the same problem probably its just bad luck if you get one...

on the firts side i can see that andre has the same temps in idle like me.

is there any airflow around pwm area? do you use your flame freezer?

i use my mobo on bench desk not in case. my sytem temp is 60-65 degrees with fan on HS.

have you tried to dismount the cooling-solution and apply a better thermalpaste or something?

1. Dismount it;
2. Clean;
3. New thermal paste;
4. Get a mosfet backplate (Ek Asus);
5. Get screws and springs;
6. Reinstall it using the backplate, screws + springs;
7. Put a fan to enhance airflow in the area.

That was the only thing that helped my on the DFI X48 to get by without my WC block. A mosfet waterblock will be better for future OC's.

That area gets unusually hot and seems like the problem is still there. :down:

High temperature isnt real problem, except fact that it makes air in case hotter. Parts from which is PWM made in this case are able to live up to 105°C. So, around 70-80°C is ok. Btw. that hottest digital PWM parts are not covered at all if Im correct - which generate probably really big amount of heat.

Hi jugeen

1.55VTT not very High ??

EX58-UD5 only need 1.25 VTT/QPI for 220 BCLK >> http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...3&postcount=78

anyway , keep posting results with new DFi X58 ,we appreciate ! (specialy with GTX295 SLi :D)

best regards

Well, his X-Fi Titanium Fatality doesn't work in any PCIe slot, so he's gonna send it back. With the X-Fi in Vista install keeps freezing, and when he inserts it after the install is done it bluescreens on bootup.

i have an another problem,too. my power led is blinking every second. in my manual i can read that if it´s blinking it means that my pc is in s1 or s3 mode. what can i do?

hey, you use low memory speed. 1320 CL9. i use a little faster. if i lower memory speed then i can use lower QPI setting.

If you have water cooled cpu, then you need some air flow around PWM area. With air heatsinks like TRUE120 if you push the fan down on ram side - there will be some additional air flow under heatsink towards PWM area = 2-4C cooler already.

Some more photos for folks :D

QPI/VTT 1.25V for DDR3 13xx is normal. Why not try DDR3 2100+?

dont have RAM/CPU for that :p:

Im using 3GB Corsair 1600 Mhz 9-9-9 , also for DDR3-2000Mhz i already need 4000Mhz Uncore frequency (core i7 920 ) .............

what about GTX295 Quad-SLi benchmarks Andre ??? :D

what RAM speed you used for 220 Bclk ???

High memory speed=high QPI/VTT voltage you don't know that?

I finish GTX 295 Quad SLI testing and will post all results on Jan. 8

ok...I prove Low VTT/QPI voltage high BCLK is nothing. 8*32M BCLK 220 VTT 1.21V passed

yes i know Andre , i only asked because i didnt saw in the SS what ram speed he used for 220 bclk (i cheked the validation link now @ DDR3-1756Mhz )

OK we must wait for jan 8 to the GTX295 SLi results :p:

Shouldn't people worry about the high PWM temps?? Would be nice to see some direct OC comparisons using the same ram and cpu vs other boards.
12-25-2008, 09:23 PM
eva2000

where are you folks reading PWM temps for DFI board, with SG ? my temps when priming aren't moving much in SG for cpu temps, while PWM sits around 43C loaded according to SG chipset temp.

I got hold of the board a few days ago and realy like it over the p6t.
Board lets me prime at 213 BCLK (hopefully a bit more to come).

http://i43.tinypic.com/w0lyeo.jpg

The board somehow seems to be more stable on low VTT than high
:shrug:

I have a feeling there will be more to the board when this will get fixed :clap:

Why do you even want to go higher? BCLK is like HTT on AMDs, a virtual frequency just there for certain dividers (mem, uncore, CPU core speed) to be derived from it. A 200 BCLK isn't any faster than stock (assuming you change the other multipliers accordingly). Just run 200, increase mult to max and enable turbo.. voila 4,2Ghz. That or below that will most probably be the limit of 99% of all current i7 CPUs for 24/7 operation (phase change excluded).

Running low VTT is great, as we don't have any long-term experience with going above Intel specs 24/7. Personally I wouldn't go past 1,45-1,5V but less is always better.

What about Watercoolers? Does somebody use it and which brand?
