Under load the voltage should be dropping close to the value you have set.Quote:

How close was it on 03/17? Having a problem ironing out GTL's is why I ask...NM didn't see the voltages in the bottom.Quote:

Good question C-N. I hope not as I am sure many are going to go this route. If there is an issue I hope Oskar will sort it soon with a bios update. Haven't had one in a few months now, probably won't have anymore unless issues arise. I think we are seeing all we are going to see for options and performance from this board.
Are there anyone who use USB KEYBOARD or USB MOUSE to POWER ON???,
I configured like the manual said and donīt work on LT P35 with bios 502
I was thinking about mounting it to my southbridge. I'm sure one of you has it laying around since it seems like hardly anybody uses it. Will someone please send/sell it to me?Quote:

i been away from p35 for a while what is safe max nb voltage i load @ 36c@1.46v
I didn't go above 1.5V on nb both with 65nm C2D and C2Q since my nb is air cooled. But then again i didn't go much above 500fsb.
Your nb temps are rather ok considering voltage. What is your ambiental.
Forgot to post this result, so thought i'd do it now. First screenie is 5ghz stable with the E8600. Second screenie at 5.1ghz is where it is at the moment, i'm pretty shure it'll run the distance. As you can see, nice low Vcore so it should have a bit more headroom in it yet :D

i upadated bios to 521 n it happened again
i just rebooted n lowered volt by 1 % setting n i'm back to 1.38
i think we need a bios for the new stepping
is there a bios that i dont have to use special add for my e8600
VTT is at 1.17v, GTL's are 68-67-69. I have them set the same as my E8500 was, because as yet i hav'nt re-done my GTL voltages for this cpu. I have tried it up to VTT 3.3v but the values have definately changed from CO revision parts. So anyone that is using there old values is going to have a bit of a problem.Quote:

You can also use Memset to discover what your board/BIOS has set for most of the secondary timings which will give you a start point to tweak/test from.

hi guys!
i tested my new e8600 on the lanparty p35 ut: i saw that lanparty+e8600 combo is much more faster than my previous combo (lanparty+e8400) in superpi 1M (-0,2sec.), but a lot slower on 32M. The 8600 needs 200mhz+ than e8400 to make the same time.
of course all the setting are the same (566x9.5 e8600, 566x9 e8400, ram 566 4.4.4.12, trd 7). I think that is a bios issue, in 1m maby the l2cache is faster in e8600 than e8400, but what about 32M?
Thank you
man i cant seem to break 12000mb/s:mad:
how much cpu vtt do i need for a 45nm to go past 550fsb
or did i hit ram speed limit on the board@ high fsb
Try setting the highest tref value in MemSet.

they need to release a bios for the new rev hopefully we wont have to use special add% one day

Hi,
I have just bought the E8600 CPU and after installing it on my UT P35 it doesnīt boot, only the fans are running. I have the the 05/21 Bios and the board works well with my old E8500 and E8400.:confused:
take the battery out you shoulda cleared cmos before you put it inQuote:
Originally Posted by Sepander

That didn't work. I put it on Abit IP35... It works! Bios(Abit's) says that CPU temperature is 95C and RealTemp says 31C. So is it possible that DFI won't let me boot because the CPU temperature is too high? Bios readings are just incorrect.Quote:

Hi guys,
I have a problem which is unrelated to overclocking and tweaking but if you can help me I will greatly appreciate it.
Well my problem is that I can't start any OS on a virtual machine if I use Hardware Virtualization enabled , and I have to turn it off (in the virtualization program settings) so it could work. My CPU is an E8400, i have the last version of bios installed(21/05/2008), CPU virtualization option set to enabled in bios, and no overclock.
I tried with 3 different programs(Vmware, Paralles Workstation, Microsoft VirtualPC) and both on Windows XP and Vista x64, and I got the same thing.
At these point only the motherbord bios or the CPU is at fault. I know that its almost impossible that the CPU to be at fault, but you never know...
If anyone tried using virtual machines with the Hardware virtualization enabled on DFI LP UT/LT P35 and it worked, please confirm.
Or if someone has 10-15 minutes to spare and try. You could download and install MS Virtual PC 2007 because its free (from here), set hardware virtualization in bios and in program options to enabled and try to install windows xp/2003/vista. My virtual machine stops in Windows Setup at "Setup is starting Windows" and get an error box(pic below).
Hope someone can help me. Thanks:)
Where i can buy this board in the US but new not used. i need a shop who ships to germany. thank you!

I looked in their FAQ section and they said to email them with the address. I would just email them and see.
This can't be true. VTT voltage can't be that high. I have set it to 1.10V (BIOS).
I tried all these bioses: 03/17 , 05/02 and 05/21. All have the same problem.
Edit: Ok, DMM says it's 1.09V. No panic.:)

What is a good 45nm Quad Bois? My Q6600 is dying a slow death... Right now I am running 12-24 bios. Thanks
I haven't been religiously keeping up with this thread like I used to, so please forgive me if this question has already been asked/answered.
I finally got around to flashing my board with 5/21. I was previously running 3/17 with zero issues so figured I would stick with that. Curiosity got the better of me this morning so I decided to try 5/21 which has been official for a couple months now. Everything looks fairly similar to 3/17 except for two new options.
What exactly is this and how should it be set for best performance/stability?
TFINE ITEM VALUE DEGREE
Mine defaulted to 160 and I left it at that. No clue if lowering it does anything, and if so what exactly does it affect. Anyone have any info on exactly what this new listing is in the bios and what it should be set at?
Thanks!
That value sets the amount of the increment if you would go ahead and set the memory delays manually, all BIOSes before 5/02 did not have this option and 70 picoseconds was the default ever since 9/13 BIOS. Early BIOSes went by increment of 1, e.g DIMM1 1-1-9-6 DIMM2 1-1-9-5 or 100ps-100ps-900ps-600ps...etc.
This is how it looks on LP x48:
http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/2346/tfinetx7.jpg
I really would like to see DS, DDS and Skew Model making its way into LP P35 BIOS.
Thanks! I don't fully understand what it is I am setting, or how it came to the default of 160ps for my particular system. I will just leave it as is as long as my system is stable unless I can find a good reason to change it, and know what I can change it to, to add to stability and/or performance.
As for those options, they would be nice but I highly doubt it. The UT P35 has been out for over a year now and the last bios update has been nearly 3.5 months. I am sure they are going to focus on newer boards since the P35 is pretty much rock solid for anyone. Anything else they change would be a bonus and not a necessity. We can all hope though.
Do you think this board is better than a P5Q for overclocking a quad and running a 4870x2?
Help! I just got an e8600 and popped in my board, but I cannot increase the voltage past about 1.34v, If I do the comptuer restarts like it does when there is a bigger change to reset the cpu core v or a high fsb ect, It comes on for about a second or less then shuts off. I have to reset the cmos to get it start up again. It will run fine a 1.34v. My old q6600 would take 1.55v on this board so I am really confused here. If anyone has any ideas that would be great, I have tried everything I can think of including different staps, but it seems like its another problem, because the board wont start up for more than a second....
Set vcore below 1.34 & use Special add, mine does exactly the same.Quote:

Nothing that I have tried will post with above 470... Either the computer turns on, but no screen or movement, or it turns on for a second and then turns off. Please help I am lost at why this is happening.
EDIT: ALSO chipest temp in bios is around 44 to 49, but in windows w/smart guardian and everest it shows about 33. It is watercooled with a mcw30 and I have tried reseating it...
I reseated the cpu, it worked with 480 and passed post, but I had volts way too low and then it crashed on the way to windows, but Now it even turns off at 470.....
Please help me! I have reseated the cpu twice now and have tried another set of ram. Boots in windows with stock settings fine, but now cant do 470 fsb, but could eariler. What the heck is going on I am going insane, please save me...
start by updating your sigQuote:

add 114% n work from there
use 333 or 400 divider
if you cant do it get a hammer:rofl:
Thanks, updated sig! that worked at least it restarted correctly and posted! nb is 1.41, and as for the vtt... well it didnt go that high for the e8600 lol, but I did 1.2 and that worked. The gtls was at 110 when I enabled it, going to 68 is a huge drop is this safe for the e8600? ThanksQuote:

I tried 4.6 with about every possible setting, well not everypossible, but a little of everything and prime would fail within 1 minute with small fft. I only went to 1.24-1.44 on volts tho. I bumped it down to 4.5 @1.42 and its been stable so far 20min+ I have a feeling it will be at least 1 hour stable... maybe 12+... but I could be wrong. Its 73C max so far.. Kinda high it seems. If it is stable I will see how close to 4.6 I can get... Its too bad, because I bet I could boot into windows with 5ghz at 1.5volts... but no stability for sure.... This is only day 1 of trials tho, I got a long ways to go :P If anyone has anymore tips I would be greatful, thanks zsamz and c-n for your help so far :D
hello, since i have added an hd4870x2 to my system i am experiencing weird problems from which i dont know whats causing them. first off, i get that annyoing "the display driver has stopped working but was recovered..." in vista, but only with aero turned on. the bigger issue though is that i cant do 3d at all, either i get a bsod or the pc just reboots itself with a black screen. this only happens in vista home premium 64 sp1 though, in xp i didnt have a crash or whatsoever yet.
in vista i have tried four different driver sets for the x2 already and also tried with and without overclocked cpu. no success. now i am not sure what could be the reason. could it be the mainboard? i doubt that though since the user "C-N" stated that his x2 "works like a champ" on this board. :D but it seems he doesnt have a 64 bit os judging from his signature.
i was thinking maybe its the combination of p35 + vista64 + x2 (maybe + q6600)... but as i said i dont know thats why i am asking here.
ive already considered buying a new p45 mobo in hope that it will solve my problems but theres no guarentee and id rather not replace this board.
do you have any idea? thanks in advance...
my system:
q6600
dfi lp ut p35 (biso 521)
4 x 1gb teamgroup xtreem ddr2 800
gainward hd4870x2
corsair hx1000w
xfi xtreme music
It's a bit chilly here, around 52F so i decided to test my cpu a bit:
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=417662
Q6600 G0 @ 8x450MHz=3600MHz @ 1.425V, rather good voltage for this fsb and freq., prime screen coming after it has finished more then 12hrs. :D
After i find max fsb i test for max freq. at x9 multi.
NB vcore @ 1.50V, VTT @ 1.53V and GTL settings @ 102,101 and 105.
I see a similar thing with BIOS 0521, I can hold PL6 on the 266 strap well over 1200mhz with earlier BIOS's but with 0521 I have to use PL7 & pull in all the phases.Quote:

The only way I can get my driver to stop responding if I run an unstable setup, overclock the card to far, overheat the card, or push the PCI-E frequency up too high.

i havent changed the pcie frequency either.
i really have no idea what the issue with this card and apparently vista x64 is :(
Vista x64 has been tricky in general but in particular with my 3870. Maybe an ATI issue?Quote:

Guys, what's top NB and GTL voltage recommended for 24/7 usage with active cooling? (92mm fan over NB)
