Hi All,

Is that an actual photo of your shipped mobo? Cos there is definitely no BIOS chip socket (only the mask) on the final retail mobo I am holding over here.

Anyway photos of the actual mobo can be viewed in my VRZ post.

Please test spi 1M with oldest bios

[Shiranui Gen-An]

Nice to see someone who actually has one of these boards, I wonder how it will compare to the Maximus II Formula and EP45-Extreme.

[Kean]

Yeah!
At the end somebody has it.
I'm waiting for scores

No I didn't see a need as you had already done the photos & I was hoping you might chip in with your link

My board is already hooked up, my board looks just like your actual photos with no BIOS holder & square illuminated power/reset buttons. I'll add a pic later gotta fix my Moto X bike first.

[MacClipper]

heheh, do get cracking on clocking will you?

Cos I still don't have any spare test CPU around which can do justice to this mobo, hoping to get a E3110 or E8400 this weekend though.

[eva2000]

nice i should have these boards to play with later too.. can you check what clock generator it uses ?

[MTP04]

I've been waiting patiently for this board to come out. I hope OC is as good or better than the P35 version. Looking forward to some results.

[NapalmV5]

nice.. just like the ut p35.. but

hope unlike ut p35 itll bios option more than just a measly 1.45vtt

if oscar bumps vtt to 2v ill surely get ut p45 aswell

[nikk]

seriously sweet mobo, can't wait for oc results

[kitfit1]

I should have mine by the weekend, looking forward to being able to run at 600fsb 1:1. Did you get your's from Germany C-N ? ordered mine from there. If you did what sort of time did you have to wait for delivery ?

[C-N]

Same as DK P45 9LPRS918JKLF

1.7V vtt here

With the exception of my DK P45 I have always got my DFI boards from Germany (the service is ace). I ordered it Friday lunchtime.

[NapalmV5]

1.7vtt is not enough oh well

[MTP04]

C-N, can you see if setting pcie frequency to 135 or 140 mhz works on this board?

[Breogan]

Where are you ordering them from? Alternate?

[zsamz_]

i been dreamin of that board
but i really wanna see if its as fast as the ut p35
cause x38 was a waste compared to the ut p35

[emoners]

nice C-N!


by the way, will there be a X48 JR?

[philbrown23]

omg i love it!, I'm either getting this or the maximus 2 then ima sell my p35 or this biostar, prolly this board as it's a tad fishy with what ram it likes .

[C-N]

I still don't have any spare test CPU around which can do justice to this mobo.

Apparently I don't either!!! E8500 that easily done 625fsb in my DK P45 on Monday night couldn't make 600 in the UT last night only made it to 590fsb. Not that I really go for fsb or anything but my P35 1 year on can still make 600fsb without breaking a sweat so it looks like I've got some work to do.

C-N, can you see if setting pcie frequency to 135 or 140 mhz works on this board?

Without trying properly the answer is no, 115mhz is where it starts getting funky but having said that it really depends on a lot of things, if I really wanted every last mhz I am sure I could find another few. I suspect using the JMicron would get me into the 125mhz band without trying to hard.

Ye they have them so do SLT/Trend but I usually use HPM.

Ye I know what you mean its a bit overdue!!!

I think its got its work cut out to match the P35's ability to enable every man & his dog (self included) to reach wild frequency's & speeds whilst running smooth, stable & cool. The P45 is a quick board it doesn't feel so free as the P35 but with the exception of fsb my P45 can do everything my P35 can/could.

The P45 makes Crossfire worth doing which is probably its best advantage over P35. I had both an X38 & an X48 & the boards were good all be it fsb limited which was made that much worse coming from a P35 basically the king of fsb at the time.

nice C-N!

by the way, will there be a X48 JR?

I honestly don't know, I doubt it as the P45 is sufficient for Crossfire.

.

I guess your using a sata hard drive? My Biostar Tpower P45 board is limited to just 106mhz before it gets unstable and thats with a pata drive. So 115mhz inst bad but I hope it gets better with bios updates. Thanks for trying.

[politenessman]

came in stock at newegg about 30 minutes ago (as far as i can tell). in for 1. will report back here. if it ships from nj, i will have it tomorrow or friday, if not, then friday or sat.

[C-N]

Please test spi 1M with oldest bios

Found some fsb, me bad had way too much vtt

Nothing world class but It'll give you an idea.

XP SP3/Dirty no tweaks just dialed in & run.

I only have the shipping BIOS.

I wanna see some more results out of this board. I've been waiting on this since I saw the press release on DFI's site.

I haven't seen anything/anyone out there do anything with this board I think the imminent release of Nehalem may be overshadowing it somewhat. Its early days for the UT P45 & I'm sure someone else other than just me will buy it & so just hang fire.

On the plus side I think I've got it all sussed out now & should in a position to lay down a decent daily overclock with some 3D benches in the next few days I'll keep the thread posted.

In the mean time from a performance point of view it drives just like the DK P45 but the UT has a bigger PWM that should handle a quad getting raped, the layout although a bit tight is better & the board I suppose being 6 layer rather than 4 handles a fair bit more voltage & runs a bit smoother/stronger than the DK P45.

Is there a bench in particular that you would like me to run for you or are you just looking for results in general from other with this board?
