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

[Praz]

To start, under the Onchip IDE Device settings there is now an option labeled 'special patch for JMB63'. The options are enabled and disabled. There is no description so I have no idea what it does but it relates to the JMicron onboard controller.

Haven't heard what this does as of yet.

Second, under the Genie settings there is now an option labeled 'O.C Fail Retry Counter'. It defaults to 0 but you can change this to any number of times you want to the board to try and boot from a fail overclock. May be useful if it manages to post at all from a failed overclock as you may be able to enter bios and make changes without having to clear CMOS.

0 is disabled. Selecting any number of retries enables this for that amount of attempted boots at current settings. If not successful the board will revert to default settings the same as when the Home key is pressed at bootup. If memory timings are totally screwed the board most likely will not be able to recover even with this enabled.

Thirdly, under the Clock Settings Fine Delay the way the options are listed is different. Before you were able to change by whole decimal numbers to your liking such as 0-10 only. Now the options are listed as follows. 133ps, 534ps etc. They look odd and I have no clue what they are but perhaps this is a way to fine tune clock delays even more?

The BIOS now allows the delays to be set in actual picoseconds instead of a numerical representation.

Fourth, under the Read Delay Phase Adjust heading it now lists exactly how the Read Delay Phases are working. For example, CH1 on my setup reads 6-7-7-7-6, where as CH2 reads 7-7-7-7-6. This is a great way to see exactly what it is doing per cycle as making changes will be reflected in the numbers above.

Displaying the current pull-in will give the user a known good starting point with which to modify the settings.

Thanks for the info Praz. Pretty much exactly as I thought and listed above however with a little more detail which is what I wanted. I currently have the OC Fail Retry Counter at 0 but may set it to 1-2 just in case something goes amiss in my testing. Would be nice to know the bios has a chance of recovering itself without my intervention should it be possible.

There was another bios setting that introduced back in November labeled 'shutdown after AC loss' or something along those lines. What exactly is this? I currently have this on Disabled as well. This sounds like an option that should be and actually is in the Power Configuration menu where the board will not power itself backup if the power was cut to the system by say a blackout. Why would this be listed again in the Genie settings unless it has another purpose? I like to know what all settings do exactly in case they come into need one day.

This o/c retry is a nice add-on, makes work a whole lot easier.
As for support goes, it's the same as the latest one official?
