So 600FSB is easy with quads as well??

465 with the Quads I have, Vista 64, 4GB, air
522 with a E6600, Vista 64, 4GB, air
538 with a E6400, Vista 64, 4GB, air
512 with a E6850, Vista 64, 4GB, air

Pretty much the same as most of the P35 boards, until you mod it, use different cooling, or have a really cherry CPU.

I have a P35 DQ6 and my FSB with my Quad is 495MHz. so i think i will give the DFI a skip and wait for the X38.

my chips max fsb is 516 anyone know what bios will unlock multis for 6850s ???

Sorry guys, wondering as well. Anyone using a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme on this board? Any mounting issues? I am wondering how close to the dimm slots this cooler will be if using a 38mm fan on the right side of the heatsink and whether or not I will be able to mount any ram coolers without it getting in the way.

Had to rotate the HS because the NB HS was blocking it. Look what I mean:

Wow, thanks for sharing this bud. I really appreciate it. I am soo glad I asked about this heatsink fitting as I did have my doubts and you just proved it. Without you sharing this I probably would have been sorely disappointed when the board arrived and I realized things weren't going to work as planned.

[Praz]

Nothing tweaked. Most settings on Auto/Default.

Anyone have a good source for BIOS optimization? This is the first PC I have built in ~4 years. I used to use the guide at Adrian's Rojak Pot (http://www.techarp.com/show.aspx?fileID=18) - it's still there but they are now charging for the detailed version and it looks like it hasnt been updated in ~5 months.

my G.Skill F2-8500 2GBHK wont run with 600Mhz on this Board, on P35-DS4 was it
primestable @ 2.18v (600Mhz 5-5-4-12 / 5:6 divider)

someone a idea? i tried everey bios setting

[Grinch]

is everybody using the stock TIM using the heatpipe (SB,NB,PWM) or something better?

[Wiggy McShades]

no results with 1t? or is the option not in the bios?

I'm using the stock, I noticed heatpipes getting warm, northbridge hot and digital pwm flaming hot. This is a good indication of good heat transfer, I tightened all of the screws holding heatpipes, they were somehow loose. I also tried using the trasnspiper & AS5 on digital pwm, this thing works like a dream, easy 20C off while priming.

There's no option in the bios . And a last I have some 24/7 result, this mobo is a complete b*itch to tweak, when I got it first day I couldn't break 1100DDR barrier with tracers @ 2.4v.

- Something like 2.12v load on ballistix.
- Performance Level 5


What got me stable is FSB VTT 1.53v & NB Core 1.5v. My FSB wall was somewhere around 480Mhz but it just takes too much time tweaking GTL Ref voltages. I should have Prime95 results next week when I get fresh AS5, the one I have is over 3 years old and it's very hard to spread out on the cpu, feels like clay.

Anybody had a problem when one day your board was rock stable and next day it was failing memtest at exact same settings. I found out that one day my board likes FSB VTT 1.35v and adding more ruins stability, other days it need more to stabilize. Today I'm pulling 1.53v through it

could have something to do with your ambient temps as well....so you are using the transpiper thingy...did you do a before and after comaparison on temps?

[Gorod]

Anyone else noticed that Quad Core Super PI 32 performance is VERY bad with that mobo ?

I get 30 seconds faster super pi 32m times with 6850 Vs QX6850
Spent 2 long sleepless nights trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with my QX6850 super pi 32 SLOW times untill i finaly swaped in a dual core 6850 ... DFI ....

[learners permit]

Chri$ch try 1.9/2.0V on your ram. Eva thanks for the tip. This mobo is on my christmas li$t.

Did you have a hard time installing the transpiper at all? Did you find it made mounting the cpu cooler any harder with that copper plate in the way? Did you put thermal paste between the cpu and copper plate AND the copper plate and the cpu cooler?

I would love the try the transpiper on my system when I get the board but I have a bottom mounted psu and my rear exhaust fan is right beside the I/O shield meaning I have no airflow at the top portion of my case where the heatpipe would be sitting once installed outside of the chassis.

[Strafe]

Do you think the transpiper would benefit from a fan at all?

[BigRigDriver]

This board is so cool

I have a bottom mount PS too, and a DFI LP UT P35 on order. I think it can be done easily. The external mount looks like it can be mounted on either side of the pipe (thus upward or downward) and it has plenty of room to shimmy to the left and right as well.

Well, it looks that way anyhow based on the many pics.

If its too close and you cant "get it on" then you can always mod-mount a fan directly on it.

[cantankerous]

I am sure the transpiper can be turned around 180 degrees so it is facing down, however, on a large case like my TJ09 it still won't be anywhere near the very bottom of the chasis where the psu is. I have thought of attaching a fan directly on the outside but that would either mean using a household fan or finding a way to get a power cable from within the case to the outside to power the fan once attached. This may all be pointless if it really doesn't help cpu temps however.

Installing transpiper was quite easy, I just had to remove one of the 120mm fan in the back so I could fit my screwdriver there. I did not use the copper plate, I think it would have negative impact on heat flow, it adds one extra layer to be filled with thermal compound. I don't think you'll be able to mount it on the bottom where your power supply will be. It will block your pci/pic-e connections. I mounted mine so it blocks as little airflow as possible from 2X 120mm rear fans.

@Chri$ch
Try CPU VTT/FSB VTT voltage 1.35v and NB Core voltage 1.45v. Start from there with exact *timings* as you had on Gigabyte board. Set Perfomance Level to 5 manually and set all Channel/DIMM CLK fine delay to 1 (depending on your bios, you'll be able to tweak either DIMM 1 & 2 or all DIMMs, 1 & 2 & 3 & 4). From there test stability and raise CPU VTT/FSB VTT voltage and NB Core voltage. I needed VTT 1.53v and NB 1.53v to reach DDR1240 32M superpi stable. 1 and 3 Channel/DIMM CLK fine delay is a sweet spot if you're doing 600Mhz+ on your ram. Also set Enhance Data transmitting: FAST and Enhance Addressing: FAST, unless you want to loose 1/6 of your total bandwidth.

The Setfsb don't work with the DFI P35 T2R , don't news for setFsb ?

Thx, but wont help me. I think the best thing i can do is to buy a ballistx kit

Btw a pic of my system



max stable FSB with E6550 (cpu cant do more ).

You'll be better off putting transpiper on digital pwm instead southbridge, from my experience, southbridge never gets warm or hot.
