I am liking the 10/05 beta bios so far :)Quote:

I'm unsure of why people are still recommending the 10/05 beta bios for 24/7 use... Any beta bios technically voids your DFI warranty if you end up having to ship the board to them with the beta bios loaded.
Just keep that in mind when you are selecting a bios.
Because it is what is working for me the best.
475fsbx8 on a quad. Not too shabby I would say.
I flashed with the latest bios and it's working fine.
Nothing wrong here.:up:
Which is better on this board... green or yellow slots?
2 x 1GB Crucial Ballistix pc2-8000

CPU mhz is KING!, everything else follows.
Slots 1 & 3, which I think are the green.Quote:

any for the X38?
Yah:) When Bin File is available yes will have Bios chips for P35 , X38 , 790FX;)
Does this really has any effect?Quote:

The RAM does sound plausible too, as I'm running it at 950 4-4-4-12 right now, but it seems weird that only the audio goes screwy..
For me all 4 slots run equally well & overclock just the same with Geil Black Dragon 8500, STD Ballistix 8500, Tracer 8500, OCZ SLI 8500 & OCZ FLEX 9600.Quote:

@ Emoners & Seanies's Show
Have you guys popped the heatsink clips & checked what chips you have on your Ballistix ?
I am just wondering if you have GKX chips & that's why they are not playing nice on this board.
I have used GMH based Ballistix on this board & for me they ran well over 1000MHz CL4 easy with auto secondary timings.

I was just thinking out loud, sometimes it helps.Quote:

Ram can cause the craziest of issues, I once managed to un activate windows when benching RAM & it wouldn't re activate so I had to re install :shrug:

ok will try that. but my Team Xtreem GKXs are doing great so far.:confused:Quote:

I am running 4 X 1GB Ballistix Tracer without issues. Just finished a 15h prime blend yesterday with the ram running at 1117mhz 5-5-5-12 with 2.1v.
I was not speaking from experience its just I had heard GKX didn't do to good with the P35 chipset.Quote:

How new are your Ballistix ?
The LT x38 if you can find it in stock yet in Europe doesn't have the heatpipe like the UT P35 thats possibly why its cheaper.Quote:

Apparently the4:5 divider isn't going to well & as of yet theres not much out there to compare against the P35 so only time will tell how far apart the two boards are.
On the RAM front the answer is I don't know which will be better on the x38but generally the 2 x 2GB kits run easier than 4 x 1GB sets all be it the 2 x 2GB sets may be a little fsb limited for some.
CN :)
looking great, cheers, does DFI boards tend to "eat"RAMS, espacially running 4 of them?Quote:
