    nice work george.....really a good kit you have....my tracer don't like 444 and also GKX prefer to go up with 5.5.5

    i'll test again...but also my impression was that x38 was a bit slower...
    no signature at the moment....
    in progress...

    my mushkin requires much more voltage compared to my ballistix
    ballistix needs 2.17v for 1200 n mushkin needs 2.32v
    testing out the mushkin it can do 3-3-3-8 @ 800mhz 2.3v n 5-4-4-12 @ 1200mhz2.35v but no way i can go higher than 1200 is it possible i have d9gkx n not d9gmh in them? or it is just a crap pair that i got from rma?

    thanks .. play with clock fine delay particularly dimm 1 and 3 clock fine delay and sometimes command clock fine delay

    nice FSB on that cpu!.. my E6850 L720A489 maxes out at 502FSB on DFI X38, 501FSB on Asus Blitz Formula and 490FSB on DFI P35. Is that 12/18 bios with ps values for clock fine delay ?? seems more confusing than single/doubel digit values ?? I can't seem to flash to 12/18 bios it won't recognize it in winflash - says please load correct bios!. AWDFLASH only ??? It recognizes 11/28 bios though.

    play with clock fine delay can make a huge difference! i.e. 600mhz 5-5-5-9 at 2.19v not memtest stable after clock fine delay tweaks 640mhz 5-5-5-9 at 2.19v memtest stable

    yeah i do... happy it matches max FSB as my Asus Blitz Formula unlike my DFI P35 which was 10FSB less max FSB. Only outstanding issue on DFI 38 is working 5:8 divider and more stable 3:5 and 4:5 divider fix. 1:1, 5:6 and 2:3 seem fine though.

    i tried your fine delay settings eva takes 2.3v i can do 1200 with 2.2 with value ram but my mushkin xp2-8500 want 2.32v @1200 5-5-5-15 or 5-4-4-15 anything less i get errors in memtest

    You can't just use same clock fine delay values as mine.. different memory need different values..

    so far tested 2 sets of crucial ballistix 8500 non-tracer and 1 set of crucial ballistix 8500 tracers, all 3 pairs need different values which can further vary depending on memory clock speed, fsb, memory divider and timings used..

    Here's a general explanation and guide to find the optimal clock fine delay values for your particular memory at a a particular memory clock on a particular memory divider (can change depending on divider/mem clock used) http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=4743 (pen, paper and memtest86+ v1.70 are your friends )

    i honestly dont need to hit 1300+ eva but still gonna try lol
    my thing is this mushkin memory i got freakin me out takin way too much votls to be stable i think its d9gkx
    any way to test to make sure? withought removin heatspreaders lol
    my ballistix do 1200+ 2.13v @1200MHZ but dont do 3-3-3-8 @800mhz like my mushkins
    i gonna see if the board likes micron fatties

    That's how the 12/07 and 12/18 BIOS is set up. I prefer it that way as you know the actual time delay in pico seconds. However it doesn't seem we have access to all the values. If using defaults the board may set a value of 465ps. In the BIOS there will be an option of 420ps or 490ps Obviously the board has access to values that we don't as of yet. Another thing I've noticed is when setting back to Current Value. Instead of reverting to board default it locks it to whatever value is presently set. Have to do a FSB change to get the board to actually go back to auto selecting the value.

    I'm not sure what the processor will do on this board . It did 560FSB on the P35.

    Edit: I've got the board tore down right now. Tomorrow when I get it back together I'll load up WinFlash. I usually flash from a USB drive so haven't tried WinFlash with this board.

    that's normal older D9x stuff need such volts... newer D9 seem to be alot better

    weird... might stick with 11/28 for now then heh..

    btw, what you set to boot from in bios for USB drives.. never could get USB drive with bootable floppy image to boot on DFI boards... tried USB-FDD/USB-ZIP/USB-HDD and no luck ??

    If it's configured to be bootable, hit escape during post. When the boot screen displays it should be listed as a hard drive option.

    Praz has the easiest way but you can go into the bios and set your USB drive as the primary booting hard drive out of all the other drives (i have three) and then make sure the hard drive is selected as the 1st boot device.

    Does anyone here use the DiamondFlash Image method of flashing the bios?
    How do you make your flashdriver "bootable"?

    New DDR2 for X38

    If you could buy a new pair of 2x1gb RAM for this mobo (X38) witch one would you choose? (ballistix, ocz reaper, corsair etc)??

    I'm putting up my xmas rig together and I don't know much about this mobo yet.

    So far I got this:
    - 2 x Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
    - 2 x VisionTek 900203 Radeon HD 3850 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 HDCP Video Card is Crossfire
    - Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT12864AL1065
    - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 Stepp

    I just got a set of Crucial DDR2-667 Ballistix from Newegg. I am running them at DDR2-928 with 4-4-4-9 timings using 2.0vdimm. I had another set that clocked and tracked just like the 10th anniversary in my sig which will do 1200+ at 5-5-5-15. I haven't pushed these yet but I will and I expect the same performance. For $41 AMIR you can't go wrong.

    I'm putting up my xmas rig together and I don't know much about this mobo yet.

    So far I got this:
    - 2 x Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
    - 2 x VisionTek 900203 Radeon HD 3850 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 HDCP Video Card is Crossfire
    - Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT12864AL1065
    - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 Stepp

    the 3850s work beautifully on this board, I wish i could keep the ones I'm using

    Thanks will try that.. in meantime

    2x1GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 Tracer @675Mhz 5-5-5-9 at 2.55v


    Swapped the dimm slots for this pair of Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 Tracers from dimm slot 2+4 (yellow slots) to 1+3 (green slots) and seems can overclock a bit better. I can now hit 675Mhz 5-5-5-9 at 2.55v - highest ever CAS5 memory clock for this pair of Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 Tracers at Super Pi 32M passable speeds!

    Still 32M time seems around 4-10 seconds slower at 3600Mhz mark than 965P/P35 chipset. I guess the loosened internal latencies on X38 allow memory to clock higher but at a cost of clock for clock performance ? Still I am looking forward to 3dmark benchmarks with X38 x16+x16 PCI-E slots

    how many crucial kits u have overthere ???



    great numbers...fine...!!!

    i was playing yesterday with my unique set of tracer, and i noticed that the fine delay is not always the same...

    I mean: let's imagine you 're finding out your max frequency with a set:

    Clock Setting Fine Delay
    Ch1 Clock Crossing Setting: More Aggressive
    - DIMM 1 Clock fine delay: 2
    - DIMM 2 Clock fine delay: 7
    - Ch 1 Command fine delay: 10
    - Ch 1 Control fine delay: 7


    Ch2 Clock Crossing Setting: More Aggressive
    - DIMM 3 Clock fine delay: 2
    - DIMM 4 Clock fine delay: 6
    - Ch 2 Command fine delay: 10
    - Ch 2 Control fine delay: 6

    you fail...you reboot and reload your safe CMOS reloaded settings....(where you just specified More aggressive, but not fixed by hand the numbers...) and tadaaaaa.....you can sometimes find other combinations, like:

    Clock Setting Fine Delay
    Ch1 Clock Crossing Setting: More Aggressive
    - DIMM 1 Clock fine delay: 0
    - DIMM 2 Clock fine delay: 5
    - Ch 1 Command fine delay: 8
    - Ch 1 Control fine delay: 5


    Ch2 Clock Crossing Setting: More Aggressive
    - DIMM 3 Clock fine delay: 0
    - DIMM 4 Clock fine delay: 4
    - Ch 2 Command fine delay: 8
    - Ch 2 Control fine delay: 4

    which is really similar but seems all just shifted by -2 downwards.....and may happen also it increase....and give the same stability...

    seems like a phase shifting or smething like this ??
    no signature at the moment....
    in progress...

    3 sets of Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 Tracer and 8 sets of Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 Non-tracers

    Current values will move with mem clock/divider etc so what you have for current values at say 660mhz won't be same as 666mhz. Unless you manually set the clock fine delay values then they'll stick

    2x1GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 Tracer @681.5Mhz 5-5-5-9 at 2.60v


    Bumped up vdimm and 32M @681.5Mhz 5-5-5-9 at 2.60v !
