I have just installed Windows Server 2008 R2 RC in order to use Hyper-V but it is failing and the message says that VMX in the BIOS is not enabled ..... I checked that Vitualisation is Enabled in my BIOS version 05/08.Quote:

Force is very strong on this W3520!
4446Mhz at 1.360v
Very strong on BCLK'ing even on 20x multiplier!

Good one! :up: Keep up the good job.Quote:

But my air cooling is not good enough for 24/7 use with Vcore > 1.3v, specially in this sumer-heat. This can be a good 24/7 with your 4-rad!
What cooler did you have before?Quote:

Yeah this W3520 is bloody awesome - FESER 480 Rad helps :DQuote:

Bumped up vcore and tried 20x230bclk = 4600Mhz and 32M Pi passed easily :D Haven't tried lower vcore yet though :)

Has anybody tryed the EVGA X 58 Classifeid, does it compare with the DFI X58 T3EH8?
Burned my card and don't know wich way to go ;o)
PRJ
For LN2/DI definitely EVGA Classified has higher operating bclk. But for H20/water i'd still prefer DFI. Here in OZ, DFI UT X58 AUD$444 while EVGA X58 classified ranges from AUD$638-769 depending on model!. Money saved I could put towards a nice 60GB OCZ Vertex SSD heheQuote:

Well you already have the waterblocks for DFI - just leave the Heatpipe on and stick the EK block on the NB .....
Gosh, I can't even get over 206bclk. 205 is stable 8 threads, but 206 dies out quick. Anyone know if D0 does bclk any better than C0s?
Any tips otherwise to get bclk up? On the 4/28 bios. T3eh6. Willp post settings a bit later :)
Thanks... next board i'll be testing will either be DFI JR X58-T3H6, Gigabyte X58-UD4P or waiting on word from Asus about a P6T WS Pro - expect similar oc guides for them as long as the work right :)Quote:

Differences are varying CPU VTT / IOH/ICH volateg requirements to reach such bclks. D0 seem to reach the 230bclk target with slightly less CPU VTT than C0.

Come on, you gotta go for the Evga, you'd love it :up:
:)
No love from EVGA Australia right now - no sample boards for me to use :( Getting some lovin from DFI, Gigabyte and Asus (back in the fold after loosing my contact before) :)Quote:

I can't speak specifically for the EK block, but I needed longer 4-40 screws/posts (1" was JUST long enough) to mount my Swiftech MCW30 on the northbridge. Even then mounting the block wasn't perfect; I needed about half a mm closer spacing so the posts are angled inward ever so slightly. I'm happy with the mount and it does mate well with the northbridge unisink so just a word of warning in case anybody runs into something like this while putting a block on the northbridge unisink.Quote:

Elpida-chips in them if someone wonder:)
And its 1.20 under load and stable...worse then many others D0 but not the worse either.

@PRJ - I don't think it is recommended to use thermal pads with waterblocks .............. bummer[/QUOTE]
Seems so, but uptil now i had great temps <60 celcius
I dont think thermal paste would have stayed in place under installation of hoses, small movements. The mips mosfet cooler does not have a very big supporting surface and is a bit under pressure from CPU hoses tight bend. Flexible pad seemed better.
Well done is done :)
so if i want to have a waterblock on nb on my DFI mobo , you dont need to remove the heatsink?
Maybe make one big block to cover the hole :banana::banana::banana::banana:.
Why cant someone make a block thatcovers evverthing like EK made to gigabytes X58:(
I have to read Evas memory tweak tips, after what i know so are these Elpida some monsters.
You can use the stock bolts supplied with the AMD kit in the MCW30 package if you do a hardmount and ditch the springs. Works just fine, no need for springs. Still have around 0.5cm left on top of the bolt.Quote:

Very good Motherboard DFI!:up:
When a new bios to DFI LP UT X58-T3EH8?:)
