So since it pasted our test on the other motherboard I figured lets put the tec on it to see what it can do on this DFI motherboard.

So far we are able to get only 75Mhz over stock????

Everything you re-boot it hangs on error code 18..

No matter what clock or vcore or NB vcore it gives the error code 18

Anyone else have any problems with the Q6600 not posting? If so you have one, please kindly share your settings..

Another weird problem. Using Everest cpu benchmark photoworks, on the dfi motherboard stock clock it gets 12000 , on the intel motherboard it gets 26000

Same ram same CPU, what is going on here? The DFI motherboard says to be the best on the market, so far it runs like a ECS!!

Any help / info would be great
This board is not as easy to setup as any other boards outthere. You are not going to slap that quad and raise FSB to xxx mhz. It is just not going to happend. You need to spend sometime with the board and read about each setting and use the trial and error method of testing.

I have read all over that this board is not the best for the quads.

Test on
