Anybody tried or had issues with Kingston HyperX DDr3 2000 RAM and this mobo?

My result @ 19*219MHz with plain water cooling:)
Prime Blend 1Hr Stable
http://www.vmodtech.com/files/prime-219_204.png
Nice Venom. My Feser 480 rad arrived the other day, so will start to build up water cooling loop so can start testing my i7 920s on H20 instead of air sometime this weekend :)
yup fine balance for all voltages and each memory kit and cpu combination will have a difference balance even for same model/speed memory kit. But i've never corrupted my bios as yet :)Quote:

@DDR3-2286Mhz 7-8-7-20 1T at 1.875v vdimm bios set (~1.880v real DMM)
Still not close to my best I did when i first got my GT set with DFI UT X58-T3EH8 with 1/23 beta bios.

Thanks alot eva2000. Just have to find them in stock somewhere.
EDIT: Kingston's site shows them to be out of stock until 6/10/2009!!!!
well eva not suprised with the vref
with the r2e when i was getting the 2000 CL8 stable on that board i had to set -12.5mv. reminds me of rampage extreme kekke
but the rtl really helps a lot on 1n settings vs 2n.
thats how i got a lot of the 1n stable at 2n voltages.
usually channel a vs channel b is +1/+2 and channel c is +2/+3 of channel B
btw left it at auto because of this
is there something wrong with the vref
if on stress if bsod .. prime 95
say set all 3 to 95.
if bsod
go back to bios channel b will be 94 and the rest at 95
Never used R2E board so not familiar with settings in bios so not sure what +1/+2 vs +2/+3 denote ?Quote:

Pulled this off with ADDR/CMD Bus VREF = 100/100/100 set in bios.
http://fileshosts.com/intel/DFI/DFI_...9m04s584ms.png
the for the RTL
in r2e u can set for channel A, B, and C.
ure setting shows channel A in cpu tweak
+indicated addition of channel A since channel A is the base rtl
in r2e norm for Channel B to be +1/+2 of Channel A,
Channel C to be +2/+3 of Channel B
higher mem multipliers and timings lower channel A, example 1600 CL8 is around channel A 60+, CL7 is 50+
2000mhz CL8 50ish but somewhere near 60
2000mhz Cl7 is 50+
this was what i found out with r2e.
but whatever i did still couldnt run the sticks at CL7 2000mhz on that board only CL8
something like that. the r2e ..usually instability is the same like dfi except when bsod the RTL changes.
I see... maybe your cpu's IMC coming into play for CAS7 vs CAS8 as well ???
could beQuote:

found a flaw eva on this mobo
will call dfi tommorow
flaw
set two gc in sli
and one x1 pciex sound card..
second card running in 8x.
wish dfi was like asus .. to have a option to force 16,16,1
it only runs 16,16,1 if no card is inserted in pcie 3.
any insert will result in 8x on pcie 2

The above is how the board is designed and no other configuration is possible.
thats hmm sux right.Quote:

so its either 16x 16x nothing or 16x 8x 8x??
so what bios is everybody using now?
sounds like bios related thenQuote:

http://nx.i4memory.com/reviewimages/...assignment.png
Example, with 2x HD4870x2 double slot video cards in PCI-E #1 + #4, you'd block off access to PCI-E #2 x4 slot and PCI #2 slot but still have access to PCI-E #3 (yellow x16 slot - photo below has Highpoint RR3520LF PCI-E raid controller installed) and PCI #1 which is empty below :)

I hve now 3gb OCz platinium
but vista 32 shows only 2560mb physical memory
Should I try to change LOWGAP setting in order to show correct RAM buffer or leave it on a default value?
has anyone board fried yet or am I the first one ?
i use IDE, AHCI drivers come with SATA matrix intel raid drivers as well. For raid i use 3rd party hardware raid controllers so I can move arrays between different boards without worry :)Quote:

I have already flashed to the latest BIOS but I have some problems with CPU VTT and DRAM BUS Voltage.
If I set any voltage to CPU VTT, it remains the same after reboot in PC Health, 1.1V.
Default, DRAM Voltage is in BIOS 1.56V but it shows in PC Health 1.64. If I set it 1.65, it shows in PC Health 1.74V. Any idea which voltage is real?
How could I find the measurement points?
woah that seems very old, honestly ask for a retail sample citing your current issuesQuote:

I have seen that photo in your review, thanks eva2000. The problem is I do not have those. I have removed the jumpers from the pins that are above the first yellow SATA port and it seems that nothing happens to the voltages. I really do not know for what those pins are.
oh wow you've got 2 revision of this mobo perhaps it's betterQuote:

I tried bios 114 and now i'm on 217, still the same issue :down: Tried almost every setting i could think off, also these vv
Tomorrow i will test with 3GB 1600MHz 8-8-8-24 Dominators from a friend and see what gives :confused:

Only thing worth mentioning,
This was stable,
Prime95 Blend :up: 8x instances of memtest hci 1000% :up:, o errors!
CPU 4000MHz - 200 bclk x 20 multi
DRAM 1600MHz 8-8-8-24-1T
This wasn't stable,
Prime95 Blend :down: 8x instances of memtest hci :down:, 1st error within seconds!
CPU 4020MHz - 201 blck x 20 multi
DRAM 1608MHz 8-8-8-24-1T
CPU is Prime95 Small FFTs stable @ 4020MHz BTW
Oh well this is a good reason to get some new RAM i guess :ROTF:
I don't have any problem with my OCZ platinums at 7-7-7-20-1T @1600 (rated speed except for tras, stock volts).
Waiting on my KL-350 block so I can start pushing this system. I'm also trying to decide on going with another set of RAM now or holding off for 4gb sticks later this year.
Eva, you are the reason I bought this DFI board. And that is for the second time! (the DFI X38LT before) It is priceless to have someone that investigates the boards issues in depth.
I tryed to achieve a nice 24/7 bulletproof OC (ok, IBT proof of you like) and encountered some serious shifts in understanding both i7 in general and this board.
For some people, who still didn't fully get it (like me earlier), it ALL (cpu clocking, memory clocking, ...) depends on the cpu and memory used. I just want this to be underlined.
I couldnt get it fully stable until I swapped the first module from one DC kit with another one. Modules from one kit have automatically "Four bank Active Window" at 17 while the ones from the other kit have 21. Those with 17 gave me stability.
The setup
dark-side i7 920 (remember it was 3841A)
DFI sexy X58 UT
CSX 3x1GB D9GTR (cooked from two DC kits)
Corsair HX1000
Sapphire HD4870 Toxic
OCZ Throttle SSD /w Win Server 2008
Load temps via Coretemp were 66/60/60/58
Vcpu measured with DMM was 1,224 idle and 1,208 load with Vdroop enabled.
This is my result and IMO decent for AIR cooling.

I've posted my issue on the OCZ support forum and they think that it is the bios of the DFI LP UT X58-T3EH8 causing the issue. Because the ram worked fine on the Rampage II Extreme.Quote:

Guys i need help , i have starting to play with my new board LP UT X58-T3EH8 on SS today , i got a question that might sound like a noobie , How do i change my multiplier to 29 or 31 on my i7 965 ? i got everything else more or less set up , but since im used to my Asus RIIE X58 Bios now my DFI OC its taking a while to get the hang of it back and get used to the different bios. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated. My unlocked multiplier its stuck at max 24 in Bios on my i7 965, How do i change it to 29 or 31 ? Am I missing something or its there a Bios bug ??? i am at lost and frustrated.
chispy.
hi does anybody here has issue with the usb power on the i/o
tested with sidewinder x6 which has brightness control
if i set max brightness for the backlight the keyboard will lag
tested with 2.5inch external drive
norm for both usb cable with the extra power to get transfer rates of 35mb's
but with dfi with the main usb and power both plugged in still same at 19-23mb/s.
stock oc no difference.
memtest hci stability is not good enoughQuote:

but for the prime95 64bit 25.9 setting above will fail.
as far i know this board can run any kind of ram.
just that u have to set the subtimings if theres any issue of instability etc
take note the ioh/ich ratio to ioh analogue also plays part
for my setting 201bclk x 21 dram at 2010 mhz CL7 2n HT off
if i was to set ioh/ich ratios to stock.. i can pass hyperpi 32m 4 threads but will fail hyperpi 32m 16 threads stress with rounding errors.
finding the right ratio is the key also for full stability.
My first post here, too bad it's about a error.
I have:

Memtest: 3x pass
WD hdd tool: pass
Samsung hdd tool: pass
OCCT 60mins PSU test: pass
I can't really understand where the problem comes from (it wasn't there when I build the system 2 months ago). Anyone seen the problem or a good idea where the fault is?
Going to try to update the bios next, but i don't think that will solve the problem. But I can always try.
I'm not a pro, more the noobish type. :D
Can you guys explain a fellow user how to get the RAM running at its rated speed of 1600 mhz on this board? :)
Memory Frequency is BCLK * Ram Multiplier = Memory Frequency. Uncore = 2x BCLK.
if ure running at stock clock for cpuQuote:

Anyone cares to help a fellow user ??? im at lost and i need help , its not the first time for me with DFI Boards but this is getting on my last nerve. Im so frustrated it still multi 24 max selectable with my i7 965 even i downgraded bios. Perhaps its me not the bios. Eventhought its not my first DFI Board i feel like a noobie again lol , can you guys show me or direct me exactly where you change the multi on your board ? i will take a pic and i will post back for you to see if its me setting something wrong in the bios :/. If this does not work i am going back to Asus RIIE asap and selling this board asap. help please im going nuts trying to figure this out. Please help , any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated , thanks in advanced.
chispy.
Im on MSN Messenger right now with a couple of friends and they all have this problem trying to change to a high multi its impposible :(
Time to sell the board ;). Out of here.

Hiya rob , long time i have not post here , thanks for the reply , i really appreciate your help. Look at this benchies from hwbot from a month ago and todays bench , voila 29 and 31 multiplier :eek: , but how do i make my 965 run over 24 ?? , i guess theres a beta or moded Bios floating around most likely :shrug: , or theres a hidden option lol, i have a case open with DFI about this subject and have escalated to the engineers , so i will let you know the outcome ok.Quote:

Rob here bro , DFI sent me some technical documents and a guide how to select unlocked multipliers on i7 965 :) , read the documentation so that you can understand. heres my test on x29 Multi done a few minutes ago :D
DFI tech email with explanation and tech documents sen to me :
Finally all the multis on my i7 965 are available thanks to Ken wong DFI Taiwan who sent me some technical documents and he showed me how to change multipliers

Hi Robert,
Please refer to the following capture to download the system BIOS setting guideline in "Technical Doc." that the CPU multiplier setting olease see page 1,2 and 6.
please see the BIOS setting as below that the CPU multiplier set to 26X for example.
PPM function : Enable
The turbo mode function : Enable
1 core Max. turbo Ratio : 26X
2 core Max. turbo Ratio : 26X
3 core Max. turbo Ratio : 26X
4 core Max. turbo Ratio : 26X

decided to let you guys know about dfi's "excellent warranty" I've got this letter today from dfi :"Dear Customer;
sorry to tell you that your mother board suffered physical damage. Please refer to the attached image. It is caused by a short circuit or overheat near the PWM area.
This kind of damage is not covered by our standard RMA warranty service. The mother board will be returned to you AS IS. I’m sorry about this matter."
This is the image they've sent me
http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/6899/55329775.jpg
I won't ever buy dfi just because of that rather buy evga that has a real warranty.
Evga won't cover physical damage either, so your only hope is that they have different standards for determining physical damage.
before I had to send one 280gtx which was damaged I think it overheated somehow and I got a replacement from them.Quote:

I have read on the DFI forum that removing the heatpipe system is a bad idea. I would like to either:
1.Remove the entire heatpipe and put waterblocks on nb and pwm and a heatsink on sb
2. Just remove the nb cooler and put a waterblock on it instead
Has anyone removed the heatpipe system, without breaking the board?
Watercooling the cpu was easy but removing the heatpipe system might be a totally different thing and don't wanna break my board.
@Woffen - I am about to do the same ^^^
I removed a similar HP on my 790FXB AMD board and replaced it no problem but I also read that on X58 forum - maybe they didn't tighten it properly (I always tighten it as hard as possible) ?
What NB block are you going to use (I am still undecided but favouring EK S-MAX as I use 1/2" and have EK Supreme LT already) ?
Honestly, there's no need to remove heatpipe system - it does fairly well once you put a fan over NB and PWM area - any air flow at all helps tremendously. You can H20 cool the NB by removing just the NB block leaving heatpipe system intact :)Quote:

I would like to skip the need for a fan on there. I've read that the possible waterblock on the NB in itself helps reduce the PWM temp as well but some say not enough. Guess I will just have to try and find out. Keep putting this off as I can't decide what to do:rolleyes:Quote:
Originally Posted by eva2000

PS - I think the HP principle is that if NB is cooler than PWM it draws heat down to NB block .........
The issue with the heatpipe assembly is proper installation once removed. If correct contact isn't made there is only a matter of seconds to pull the plug once the board is powered up. If a slave chip shorts out or overheats because of heatsink installation it will almost certainly damage the board beyond repair.
As Eva has already posted and his screenshots show, there really is no need to remove the heatpipe assembly considering the risks.
Yeah risky business playing with the heatpipe system hehe. I just moved to water cooling on cpu side only keeping stock heatpipe system intact but with 120x25mm 81cfm fan over NB and PWM areas http://i4memory.com/f22/ek-supreme-l...8-t3eh8-17002/ :)
My first board smoked a mosfet, one of the ones up near the 24 pin. I gave them a CC# to do a cross ship and they sent me back a very poor used board with bent and broken socket pins. Now I've been waiting a month since they took delivery of the return of that board for the replacement.
chispy, you just set the desired multiplier via the turbo menu :)
Works perfectly fine for me, only thing that doesn't work is setting different mults for different turbo modes (like higher mult for 1x turbo)

Very nice mate, 4.3 is looking good for the Lanparty competition :)
guys what about new beta BIOS?
Im still on 17/02 issue. is it worth to update or wait for final version?
nice eva. Now strap 4 Kaze Ultra 2000rpm puppies to that beast rad and watch the magic of massive static pressure lol.
2/27 is latest public beta and 3/18 is latest pre-public beta which adds round trip latency and TREF sub timing options :)Quote:

hey eva, you keep on doing good things with the 920.
I was hoping you'd pop your head in on the thread http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...=211579&page=9
You know this board really well and I was hoping you can give me some help.
My two 4870X2's wont post at all and I get error 26. I've tried both clearing cmos and cold cmos (battery), changing slots etc etc.The only way the system will boot is with my spare 4870 (not watercooled). I think it might be the bios, I'm still using the boxed version as I only finished the build a week ago. Tried to update the bios with a usb boot, but no go. It refuses to boot from the usb, even though is set up properly in bios to boot from usb.
I've pulled this loop apart 4 times already and I'm out of ideas with this DFI.
Any suggestions? have you come across this problem before?
Oh and I've also tried increasing mem lowgap +2560, but nothing.
Cheers mate.
Do you have the two floppy drive power connectors plugged into the motherboard, all four PCI-E power cables on rails that can hande the load and have you confirmed that the cards work in another system? If you have all of the connectors plugged in correctly one or both of those cards migh be dead.
no floppy on this build. are you talking about the four pin power connectors next to 1 and 4 pci slots? all power cables are connected right from the psu (ultra 1600W). cant connect them to another system just yet, as my other rig is air and my main work rig and also in the process of a rebuild.:up:Quote:

I'd first get the bios update sorted out before 4870x2 CF. As to bios update you could be suffering the slow/freeze like bios update when some boards the user loaded a pre-saved older bios cmos profile over a newer system bios. Tips #4, #5 and #6 http://i4memory.com/102537-post3.html address the bios issue if your's is similar. Full details http://i4memory.com/f80/dfi-ut-x58-t...eleased-13876/ and solution http://csd.dficlub.org/forum/showpos...&postcount=158 (just no need to reload ABS profile if you never installed ABS software). That should take care of the bios updating.
HTH
Hi ! I have problem with entering BIOS by DEL key on my PS/2 Keybord.
Sometimes I simply can't enter BIOS when I press DEL key, then black screen appears with blinking --> _ and nothing happens. What's going on ?? :(
/I have i920 D0 (not OC yet)
/Gskill F3-12800CL8T-6GBPI-B 3x2gb
Eva, you might want to think about getting one of those W3520 gems - how's 4,5Ghz primestable on water sound ;)

chispy.
is that at stock speed only or happens when you overclock ? if you overclock too far that can happen i.e. push bclk or memory too far without tweaking ich/ioh and ioh analogue voltages. Also cstkl1 reported some USB keyboards had issues not sure on PS/2. I have no probs using Logitech Elite PS/2 keyboard and Logitech Trackman wheel PS/2 mouse on Aten KVM switch.Quote:

@Eva
No I haven't overclocked yet ...
one more question, I have downloaded beta 3/18 bios, and during attempting to flash (from USB stick) I get msg : ''The version of BIOS was inaccurate''
''Please remove the floppy , download the right one and re-flash''
What's going on ?? Currently I am running 2/27 ver.
you using DK X58 or UT X58 board ? bios is for UT X58
As to your problem what are your full hardware specs ? any sound card or other pci devices ? Bios settings used ? you can use template at http://i4memory.com/f80/dfi-lp-ut-x5...emplate-12919/ to post your settings.
More results from me

Ad1.
Well... I have DFI UT X58
Ad2. Yes, I have sound card Asus Xonar DX in PCIE3 slot (yellow, the second one) and GTX280 i PCIE4 (green, the last one)
In addition: One Cd-rom , 2x36GB WD Raptor in Raid0 and 1xCaviar Black 1TB
Suggestions ?? I have already tried without Disk drives , and the same problem occures.
remove the sound card and put gtx280 in first pci-e x16 slot closest to cpu socket and try
and/or also try raising ioh/ich and/or ioh analogue volts a tad for raid0 - something cstkl1 reported at http://i4memory.com/f80/i7-920-d0-df...ability-16617/
@Eve
I raised voltages on: IOH/ICH 1.1 Volt from def. 1.11 to 1.15v
and
IOH Analog Volt , from 1.10 to 1.15v .
And still having the problem... I have to keep pressing DEL all the time during reboot to enter the bios (and even this method doesn't work every time) or completely turn off computer, unplug power cord then plug itagain and try to enter bios again... NO IDEA what's going on....
--------------------
Finally I succeded in flashing to 3/18 bios. Firstly I had to downgrade my 2/27 do earlier and then flash to 3/18
Is it better running vdroop enabled or disabled for every day use?
I'm using slots 1 and 4 for x16.Quote:

I might need to wait until my pot mount comes in too as I read some cpus just can't hit that high of bclk without cooler temps as I am floating in the upper 40's to lower 90's at these speeds. Anyone have any tips on gettin past 221?
Secret to higher bclk on DFI UT X58 http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=13569 :D
higher pci-e frequency upto 110mhz helped with stability in 32M pi but to get the higher bclk it's in ich/ioh and ioh analag voltages and cpu vtt/vdimm.
Of course a good cpu helps as does better cooling - hence you see all sub zero folks with much higher bclk
What do u mean exactly ??Quote:

One more question, during Prime/Linx, Core speed differ between CoreTemp/Real Temp where multiplier was changing between 20x 21x , and CPU-z where it was most the time at the same level (4120MHz) U can notice this on above screen , compare Realtemp (4070MHZ ) and Cpu-z (4141MHz) . Is it normal ?? Which is more believable ?
