Well your getting 9.5 bandwidth with those settings, my settings are wayyy higher and im getting 10,333, so i tend to believe zsasm about gigabytes overclock well and do high fsb, but offer below par performance. Dont like dfi, have heard some bad things, always been a msi fan (neo mike) i think its time for a new motherboard, asus looks tough to beat hmmm decisions

[zsamz_]

DFI are NOT god. There are plenty of other boards that are far easier to get on with (note: much more stable and reliable) and offer performance that is not exactly off the pace with a DFI. I will never touch a DFI board ever again after the NF2 and NF4 hassles I had with DFI boards, POS wasn't even stable with stock settings. Throw the exact same hardware on any other manufacturers board though and no problems. Can't comment on a Gigabyte board as the last one I had used a VIA KT400 chipset However I can vouch for Asus P45 boards (currently I got 9.5GB\s bandwidth with a measly 3.2GHz @ x8 400FSB) TPower, in spite of its horrible BIOS, and even the MSI P45 boards.

the dfi nf4 boards were one of the best i ever used the board took abuse n never complained
just people like you who like the easy way or get confused in bios

dfi boards are finiky but once you get them going you love em
asus p45 boards overclocking quads nicely but bandwidth suks like gigabut
the dfi ut p45 has nice bandwidth and not verry picky on ram
just wait till the prices drop
one thing for sure i be gettin one

[neo mike]

Hmmm hey i admit i dont know everything about overclocking, but i have heard bad things about dfi boards, and good things, but more bad than good. So what your really saying is dfi board give the best bandwidth ? cause you say gigabytes dont, and now asus dont. Well i believe that gigabyte dont, cause i should be pulling way more bandwidth, so i guess asus and gigabyte dont know how to make there boards have good performance according to you, they only overclock well , but dont do benching well, i will be testing that, im getting a asus, and a gigabyte ud3p, and i will test them, and find out, i think your just a hardcore dfi guy.

Firstly, thats incredibly insulting. If I was the kind who likes the "easy" way or "get confused", I would hardly be of the calibur of ripping bits of BIOS code apart just to squeeze more out of it . Fortunately for you, I'll bite my tounge this time.

Secondly, I went through 3 NF4 DFI boards, none liked any of the hardware I threw at them, and again if all that hardware worked fine on any other board but wouldn't even run stable @ stock, that suggests the board was not that great. I even still have a review of a DFI NF4 board kicking about somewhere from a well known magazine, who also couldn't get the POS to run stable even stock but all the other boards in the roundup worked perfectly.

[neo mike]

First off you dont even know me, and i never take the easy way out for your information, dont make statements about people you dont even know, how old are you 12?

[fatguy1992]

OMG my CellShock RAM arrived

I'll overclock it a little tonight.

lucky you
you got the ones that suked

i'm a asus fanboy
but in the last few years dfi been good to me
some of their boards might not boot but once they get goin
thats why i always buy from a seller with good rma policy

This is the last time I'll bother replying to your seemingly very childlike responses, its a waste of thread space. Even if there were boards that "sucked", theres no way all the NF4 boards from DFI I tried all would of sucked, once I tried everything possible with each board I just consigned it to the junk pile and bought another as DFI RMAs are horrendously bad and bought another board, there was a good 2 month gap between each purchase. So on the final board I tried that made a 6 month gap, theres no was any sucky boards would of been floating around still with the places I bought from.

your board wont let you go higher in everest
with dfi ut p35 you would see 11k+ @ those speeds
and with memory @ 1300 i get 12k in everest

Mind sharing your BIOS settings for 1300 with your DFI?

most important to use 333/800 divider gives best bandwidth and 500fsb++ and will require less volts on ram
use verry aggressive in ram settings if not stable use aggressive
pulls set to EEAEE and EAAEE use pl7 above 530fsb use pl8
1.55v on nb

[WaterFlex]

Only 1,99 vDimm.

[neo mike]

Nice score waterflex, is that your 24/7 setup ?

[WaterFlex]

Nice score waterflex, is that your 24/7 setup ?

Thanks, mate. Yeah, It is.

[neo mike]

Is that the 333 strap ?, cause i just ran the exact same setup as yours and i get 10,039 everest score, i think zsasm is right about the gigabyte boards suck for bandwidth.

[WaterFlex]

Strap is Auto. Try to play with subtimings. I have 10400 Read at that speed. But I was not stable. After editting 2 values of subtimings, I lost 100 Read but became absolutely stable.

[neo mike]

My subtimings are tight as they can get, im using 333 strap, which is what auto must be using for you, cause we have exact same settings, my gigabyte board just dont do good bandwidth, im finding this out now.

Yeah. Also my old Maximus Formula x38 did better than my current P45.

It looks like I have DDR2-1250 stable (or close to it) at 521FSB PL8, but I had to use 2.42V BIOS set with my Ballistix 8500 16FD5.

Crucial Ballistx Tracer PC2-8000 "16FD3" @2.28 volts Gigabyte EP45-UD3P

[neo mike]

Nice going Chad, is that completely stable ?

No It is not, just 3D stable

[neo mike]

How do u like that ud3p gigabyte board ? heard alot of good things about those boards ?

Honostly I don't like it. It is a pain in the butt to get it Prime stable. I have spent too much time on it. I pefer my Biostar TP45 because of the bios. It is easier for me to understand.
I am going to get my hands on a E8400 this weekend. I feel that my memory has a lot of room. The memory passed memtest 2.01 also.

[neo mike]

I have close to the same settings as you, im getting 100s of errors in memtest86, better go back down to my old settings. I see the wr for ddr2 was broke on that board.
