Well I may have to buy another CPU then to see if If it is the MB or the CPU holding me at 400 MHZ. Thanks for the heads up. 8GB G.skill 8800 with 602 bios right?Quote:

I am having big problem to stabilise 8gb @ 1066 with stock CPU (333fsb)
I have managed to get it stable with PL6 but I need vNB of 1.57
Also, the timmings are 5-5-5-18 and trfc is 76
All are the minimum/fastest settings needed to be stable
anyone else having issues posting with higher than 1.344 vcore? however i try with just vcore value or with special vid control added it doesnt post... using the new bios, going to go back one and try that while I try and finger this out.
I just read there is no way to enable sata hotswap with this MB? I feel like just suffering with my old NF4 MB...At least I could automate backups on that MB. This one requires me to manualy turn on my external enclosure, then reset the computer, boot up, and manualy run my backup. Or spend more money on a stata card just to get hotswapping? Hell, my going on 4 year old N-Force4 mother board allowed hotswapping! Every time I turn around theres another reason to switch to a better cheaper MB than this POS. These new DFI board are nothing like the old ones with hotswapping and memtest86 built into the bios...
I think I'm just going to ditch this board and get myself a Biostar I45. Been trying to get my E8400 past 3.9GHz and so far no luck. :mad:
Hell, I'm not sure why I got a x48 chipset anyways. Crossfire sounded pretty cool until I ran out of money because of college books and fees. :shakes:
it doesQuote:

propably your E8400 is a POS. Test it on a different mobo before getting rid of the X48Quote:

AHCI needs to be enabled during the operating system install. If you want hotswap capability start over with Vista.Quote:

haven't tested those methods though.
another way is using the jmicron controller but I am bored to write it now.
If you still have probs post back here to try explain the other method
The method for vista worked! had to reboot a couple times it seemed to hang ont he 4th controller the first time! But its working! You just saved my ass! WOW thanks so much!
no problem :)
But ask/search before giving up next time ;)
Ok, I'm trying to flash my bios to 829 so my 4870x2 would work. Not sure if I did this correctly, but I made a bootable disc with all three files that was from X48AD829.zip with nero burning rom 7. Rebooted my computer and it got to the part where you start entering the command like dir and etc so you can start flashing. My problem starts here, my keyboard seems to have power, but I can't seem to type anything, but my keyboard works inside bios. Therefore, I need to get my keyboard working.
I also need to know what exactly do I have to enter to flash my bios properly.
I would also need help creating a bootable usb drive in case my bootable cd don't work.
Here's a helpful site that helped me flash my x48.Quote:

I still am having issues with vcore. If i enter 1.35 the board wont start, and wahts the deal with special vid control it enables and disables itself with or without a percentage added. If i enable it and set a percentage, it shows in windows but when i reboot and go back into bios its on auto again? WTF Also if i disable special vid control then move my vcore it enables it self again?
What the HELL! My LT X48-T2R just died. I was just watching some damn TV show, and it went kaput. This is the second DFI board in a row to die, my LT X38 had a similar fate.
Not sure if I want to OC on DFI anymore...
probably not the boards fault if 2 have died, more likely a PSU issue. what are its symptoms of being "dead"?Quote:

It's taking a while, as I have to take the entire PC apart, this is the major downside to using a Ninja rev.A. :down:
special vid is only supposed to be available at vcores of 1.2v and up, below 1.2v the spec vid can add ripple which could damage the cpu.Quote:

Hmm, well, I just tried the new board, and it does not turn on either. I used two different power supplies, although one of them is of questionable status. I manually turned on the "questionable" PSU by hooking up the green wire to GND, and it DOES indeed turn on like that. However, plugged into the mobo, it does not turn on at all. My "good" PSU, the OCZ, has a status LED on the back. It turns from amber to red when I try to turn on the system. Very weird.
Could my CPU be dead? If it was my CPU, wouldn't it turn on but fail to go anywhere?
got my dfi back in my computer. i got me a E7300 to replace the Q9550. yeah... i know a bit of a downgrade but it doesn't matter, i just want a high oc :D
I got it all put together, and i get the post error 26.. i looked it up but nothing on it is available. anybody know?
Video Card errorQuote:
