Crazy, that epson printer does not use power from the usb in opposite to the usb-stick. I tried a 4pin 12V rail instead of the 8pin one that helped in terms of power consumption. With the 8pin rail the consumption rose ~20W and with the 4pin only 5-10W if i remember correct. Gotta revise that sometime.Quote:

I agree & have a few methods to getting more Mhz out of the CPU with a fitness program.Quote:

DMM-NB: 1.139V
P-Tuner 12V1(max): 7.2A/12.09V
P-Tuner 12V2(max): 5.4A/12.09V
DMM-12V1: 12.04V
DMM-12V2: 12.05V
Using 8ping results in more accurate 12V1 P-Tuner readings.
Beside the 0.03-0.04V higher vcore (which is huge isn't it?) everything else seems to be in range.

nice findings.. I think that overvolting is pretty huge as well..Quote:

I first saw this on my centrino notebook, so i never use usb stuff on my notebook any more when I'm on the go (even changed to a pcmcia bluetooth card with dma so it would not excess te cpu for everything it needs). You can check this with windows performance measurment program and than select c1,c2,c3 enz percentage time. It will show a difference in these modes when popping up. I guesse you will see almost no c2 and c3 time when running the epson.Quote:

You get your board yet from your uncle Tye?
So with this overvolting, setting my ram at 1.9 is a bad thing????
And CPU is 1 notch over default, I think it reads 1.31, got it at 2900mhz so far...
Very high volts can fry and/or decrease the life of your components. Phenoms are designed to respond well to low volts...voltage increases are a last resort imho...Quote:

I've just been wondering why under the 1066 memory divider in the BIOS the tRAS cannot be set to 15, but with MemSet you can set it to 15??:shrug:
Camp, I have to pick it up from a firm far away when I get time, not him :)
I'm in no rush, better BIOSes are needed yet anyway. Would be good to compare and see if I get the WISE freezing and MHz on the DFI that I did on the MSI at the same settings. By that time I'll have another MSI board to check out again, if its any better.
How many of you guys are using the trans piper retention kit and how well it preform ??. I'm thing about getting one of these board in a couple of weeks.
I use it since they first started implementing it with the release of the DFI P35 and the Transpiper works very well:up:
Do you have any pics of the transpiper in the case...... just wondering how it looks ?Quote:

I've posted links rather than the images so I didn't need to reduce the sizr and you can see a bit more detail, you can zoom on those and get a better idea.:cool:
Nice pics..... One last question. I have the AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Windsor 2.6GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 89W Dual-Core Processor and would like to know can I use it until I get the AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition later on ? Money is tight, but I want this board so bad !:yepp: :confused: :shrug:

I've never had power increase with USB device on a few 700 series boards and I use 5 USB attachments daily [KB/Mouse/USB-D/P-Tuner/Nokia]. Kinda strange that it actually puts a high load on the CPU (I/O load), looks certainly like a device specific feature.
My DFI picked up in morn by a friend, its not knew, package was opened but its giving me C1 as well, same as on MSI, Abit and GBT boards.
Yeah, I tried that usb-stick on many different boards (M2A-VM,M3A,P5K-E) on all boards the consumption rose about 2W. All had USB2 mode enabled.Quote:

On DFI, like with Abit, it maybe BIOS related.
The GBT780G booted fine with the 9850BE and the 9600BE here. However the 9600BE did not boot in the GBT board after I ran benchmarks at 2.6/2.2GHz with the 9600BE. I mentioned the enormous voltage increase from 1.296V up to 1.47V at those settings before, maybe that was too much for the 9600BE. GBT board works fine here with the 4850e. Gotta try the 9600BE in the DFI board but chances are good I fried my second phenom also. :DQuote:
