**Official DFI LanParty UT P35-T2R Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**

[RLM]

Only in 3 scenarios have i experienced something similar on DFI LP UT P35-T2R in terms of memtest86+ v1.70 and blinking cursor/freezing

1. when hitting a max cpu FSB wall or not enough or optimal cpu vtt/NB/clockgen/cpu pll voltage combination

2. setting memory timings/sub timings waaay too tight

3. Incorrect clk fine delay values for a particular memory clock/memory divider/memory frequency combination

I think if you've got a decent P35-T2R, then you can certainly work with these settings. It's worthwhile.

I haven't given up on this board. been running it through the night. Every time I've thought that I've cracked something, say a decent CLK manual setting, a few restarts later it throws a curve ball at me.

Even on a pretty minimal overclock, with the loosest of timings, I've had the machine shutdown mid internet browsing. Secretly I think it knew I was browsing for another brand of motherboard. lol (excuse that comment, I'm tired)

Sure there should be an element of skill to tweaking that extra bit of performance out of a board, but I don't think stability should be quite so elusive.

In fairness I'm not ruling out the possibility that going the asus route, isn't going to open a whole new can of worms either. Decisions???

Update: well here I am not 24 hrs into using this board and so far @ 3.2ghz and only cpu vcore bumped and Nbridge @ 1.45v CPU VTT @ 1.28v and Ram @ 1:1 DDR2 800 1.90v it for one has that High Pitched Noise we have all come to hate referred to as "Squeal" and also I have the Transpiper and copper plate on and my NB/ PWM are both at about 48c @ idle and oh yea my CPU at the same clocks as my ABIT IP35 PRO are 6c dearer at Idle and 10c more under load Way to go D.F.I and this is honestly a freaking joke for a $300.00 board and Smart Guardian is about as worthless as it comes these days too!

We're having a great time aren't we? I'm sorry but all I can do is laugh right now.(Edit must be the tiredness)

Well in the end in/out with these boards equates into about 8hrs a clip between take old out, put in new, Bang head for 24-48hrs , out with the new back in with the old I mean cmon with this bullsh@t already Intel this is beyond a joke just to run you're processors! You know I really cannot blame and point fingers at DFI because these are traits that have been present in every board I have owned and tried since I decided to see what all of the Hoopla was all about with the C2D offerings. Quite frankly I regret ever making the decision not to wait for AMD!!!

I was going to wait until I could do more tests to confirm my theory but decided to post this up anyway http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=4743

You folks can do the confirming for me

Well believe it or not I just Flashed to 9/13/07 and so far it seems better than 8/23/07 official.....so far!!

Has anyone else tried the whole Transpiper/ Copper Plate deal and had there NB/PWM Temps rise?

Speaking of North Bridge and PWM temps what are you guys running Q6600 chips getting on average at idle and load at say 3.2-3.3ghz?

Even at stock whats you're temps for PWM/CHIPSET with Q6600?????

Also when I flashed the 9/13/07 BETA it has cleared up the SQUEAL makes me friggin happy as hell bwcause that whole deal (not just this board) has been driving me F@cking Insano

Anyway heres what I did with the Beta 9/13/07 from Andre when I flashed.....


A:\AWDFLASH.EXE LP35D913.BIN /CD /CP /CC /PY /CKS /SN /QI /LD /WB /E

The last Switching Parameter /E brings you back to A:\ Prompt //// after you Flash at that point I re enter the whole shpeel above once more and Flash a second time which results in a cleaner Flash and less chance of anything not getting over written the first time.........My buddy... Robert...(Rgone) taught me that trick with my D.F.I Expert Board
