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

EDIT: Or am I confused about which slots make up a channel? I always assumed each 'channel' was made up from the same colored slots.

...thinking about this a bit more, it seems to me that the "Dual Channel" mode of operation would operate on memory from 'each channel' at the same time, to get a speed gain.

That would mean a channel is made up of different colored slots, so Channel 1 would be DIMM1 / DIMM2 and Channel 2 would be DIMM3 / DIMM4 (as listed in the BIOS) ?

Yayy!

All 121 pages read.

Thank F#@K for that!

Reading all 3000+ posts made my eyes bleed!

Just to say I've got my sig G0 running rock solid @ 3.6 with very respectable voltages all around.

A big thank you from me to the many contributers of this thread who have helped this floundering and hopeless Asus refugee swim back to the rock solid shores of stability!!

Well done all!!!

[carmatic]

guys , i failed to read the entire thread, but i have a question...

according to http://www.anandtech.com/printarticle.aspx?i=3129 , you can adjust the GTL ref values, and that the values have to go up when you increase your voltages... does anyone know what happens if you set those values too high?

Hi guys,

I'm new at Intel's club but not at DFI's (good old nf4..)
Set up new rig as in my sig n trying to squeeze a bit fm it.
Right now i'm stuck at relatively low fsb n hope you gonna help me:

-> Voltage Settings
CPU VID Control: 1.40000V
CPU VID Special Add: Auto
DRAM Voltage Control: 2.150V
SB 1.05V Voltage: 1.070V
SB Core/CPU PLL Voltage: 1.55V
NB Core Voltage: 1.50V
CPU VTT Voltage: 1.50V
Vcore Droop Control: Disabled
Clockgen Voltage Control: 3.45v
GTL+ Buffers Strength: Strong
Host Slew Rate: Weak
GTL REF Voltage Control: Enable
CPU GTL 1/3 REF Volt: 102
CPU GTL 0/2 REF Volt: 102
North Bridge GTL REF Volt: 102

Exist Setup Shutdown: Mode 2
CLOCK VC0 divider: AUTO
CPU Clock Ratio: x8
- Target CPU Clock: 3360 MHz
CPU Clock: 420 MHz
Boot Up Clock: Auto
DRAM Speed: 333/667
- Target DRAM Speed: DDR2 841
PCIE Clock: 100 MHz
PCIE Slot Config: 1x 1x

CPU load temp is 50C (CoreTemp)
DRAM Timings all on AUTO yet, resulting in 5-5-5-15

Any help to push it more? I would like to hit fsb 450MHz.
Thanks

Bump up your gtl settings from 102 to about 105 and increace your cpu vid to 1.425 and give it a try.....

If that does not work try 1.425 cpu vid and disable the gtl ref voltage control as this works best with quads... everything else looks fine.

Nice clock! But man, that's a lot-o-juice!

[karateo]

nzbleach nice clocks but they mean nothing (apart from benchmarks) without actual voltages, temps and cooling you used (still aircooling like previous page? - you added lots of vcore)?

please post at least with smartguardian running.

it's just my opinion as you are kind of reviewing a new product we all are looking to buy

sorry to ask if it's already posted, is it a retail or ES cpu you have?
(a graph with vcore vs clock would be excellent!)

[nzbleach]

retail cpu with a TRUE + 120mm Sanyo Denki. Here are my prime stable screenies. I will post up my bios settings later for anyone wanting 'em.

[Krzychu]

I will post up my bios settings later for anyone wanting 'em.

Let us see 'em.
Thanks

[fireice2]

I want to get one of these already... huhuhu

[Kris]

Hi all I have new parts inbound (see sig under new rig) and I was wondering if there is any special start up ritual like there was for my expert? I believe when I got the expert you had to use one stick of memory in a certain slot power up enter bios and load optimized defaults save exit and shut down. Then you where able to install the second stick and proceed to oc like a mad man. I read this entire thread but it took like three days and many beers to get thru it all and I don't remember if there was any special start up ritual.

[karateo]

retail cpu with a TRUE + 120mm Sanyo Denki. Here are my prime stable screenies. I will post up my bios settings later for anyone wanting 'em.

so your cpu can do 24/7 at 4500 with watercooling easy, right?

But 1.6 vcore for 45nm isn't too much?

[ether.real]

Well, I have reached the magical 4GHz on my Q6600.

[mad_skills]

Nice clock nzbleach. Especially because it's a retail cpu, not ES.

[Krzychu]

Hi mad_skillz!
I see in your sig that you got nicely o'clocked E6750 - could you post your settings plz - especially voltages section.
Thanks!

[ultimeus]

Well, I have reached the magical 4GHz on my Q6600.

Can you post your bios settings ??

[GripS]

I ordered the LT version of this board recently. Should be at my door tomorrow or Wednesday. Anybody using the non-transpiper version? I did some research and according to the specs the only difference between the LT and the UT is the heatpipe assembly.

[nzbleach]

im using the LT. Not a shred of difference. The bios splash screen boots up with LT and UT in the logo.

[mad_skills]

Hi mad_skillz!
I see in your sig that you got nicely o'clocked E6750 - could you post your settings plz - especially voltages section.

No problem.
For ~3.5GHz vcore 1.35000V, all on def.
For 3.6GHz vcore 1.37500V, nbcore 1.35V, sbcore 1.75V, cpu vtt 1.25V
For 3.8GHz vcore 1.425V, nbcore 1.4V, sbcore 1.75V, cpu vtt 1.25V
For 4.0GHz vcore 1.49V, nbcore 1.45V, sbcore 1.8V, cpu vtt 1.3V
Any higher than this requiers even more voltage on all settings, so cause i dont need much vcore for 3.6GHz i keep it on that freq. and my ram also gets a nice round number.

[ether.real]

Can you post your bios settings ??

Here they are:

[mrcape]

Hi guys, great thread! I just ordered this board, should be here tomorrow and I'm building it right away. This is my first DFI since P965S which I ended up not using.

There's so much info out there on this bios and board that I had to get it. I'm psyched to get in and tweak for a long time.

Question - how is the bios recovery on this sucker? If I fry the bios chip can I get a new one withour RMA the whole board? Does it pop out or soldered in?

[ether.real]

Its a socketed chip that can be replaced. Someone on here was selling spare chips, cant remember who though.

[Praz]

Question - how is the bios recovery on this sucker? If I fry the bios chip can I get a new one withour RMA the whole board? Does it pop out or soldered in?

The BIOS chip is removable. The chance of needing another chip is no more or less then any other board. With the number of boards I have here it's not uncommon for me to flash 10 or more times in one day. I haven't needed to use my programmers to recover from a bad flash for months. Mostly comes down to using quality components with a stable flashing environment.

[Kris]

I've only ever had one bad flash and since then I use a bios savoir.

Or you might still be able to get a spare chip from Brother Esau.
