** OFFICIAL ** Intel DX38BT & DX48BT2 BoneTrail Thread

[gtj]

I have a spare DX38BT new in the box. I already have a Qx9650 in one and running 10x420 BEAUTIFULLY on water. Pics Below. Since i have a spare board i thought i'd go cheap on the cpu and try a Q6600, but before I order one I was wondering how fast you were able to push it on water. If i can get close-to the same speeds as my QX9650 why pay $900 more????

Below is my second WC setup, my first build was on a Maximus Xtreme. I get better stability on the DX38BT hands down. I would like to get some beter mem on board though.

Notice the MCW60... I used ethernet wire to make loops through the holes in the board ^^^^^^^

I had the Q6600 up to 445 FSB. I didn't go beyond that because I needed it in another rig but there were no indications that it wouldn't go higher. vCORE was 1.5000.

Could someone help me and give me some good bios settings to go with quad, this is hell to tune compared to all other boards.

Every time I try to overclock screen just stays black, damn.
Please post bios fotos.

CPU is Q6700 and memory is Corsair 2x1GB PC3-1600MHz

First boot into maintenance mode and disable the "Watchdog".
What are your OC objectives?

You should be able to do 400FSB without breaking a sweat.

Hey guys im setting up my board, however im having some difficulty removing the northbridge heatsink, it appears to be stuck on there pretty damn tight, so much so that im bending the board soome from trying to remove it, ive unscrewed the screws, removed the backplate, and taken the clip off, but no go so far. How firmly stuck is it usually to the thermal pad.

Mine was pretty firm but heat and a twisting motion helped. There's an IHS underneath so it's not as delicate as other NBs.
