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

[GripS]

Would you define high temps? I easily idle in the mid 40' and under very high stress during prime my chipset gets to 60c. If yours is around or lower than that I would consider you well off considering what I am getting for temps. What is the max you see your PWM get to? I have seen mine as high as 68c without much effort.

Well.... I am basing this off of a review i read on the P35 chipset where it compared the thermal output to the P965 chipset (which is what i had before this board). My temps on the P965-S (after modding the NB heatsink and mounting a fan) were low 30's idle and ~40C under load. Then i came across an overclocking guide for this board and that suggested temps be at or below 45C.

As for the PWM. I have seen 60C under load. I will probably remove the PWM heatsink this weekend and replace the stock tim/pad with some arctic ceramique. Currently i have a 40mm fan mounted on the I/O vent pulling cool air in. Had there not been a heatsink there i'm sure i would be looking at mid to high 60's.

Thanks for reporting your temps. Looks like i'm not doing so bad after all.

woo-hoo!
Got it to boot after a couple of C1's (turned off PSU and did a 30 second CMOS jumper clear - no BATTERY PULL used).
But it wouldn't let me into the Bios so I disconnected the HDD forcing the CD Rom to boot.
I managed to flash the 109 with the Tmod/Loggan Bios CD.
(Board was on the 10/05 Bios originally)
Once flashed I was able to enter the 0109 Bios
Out of the case on a table with CPU at 25 (Zalman 9700), PWM at 46 and Chipset at 39 in the bios at Defaults.
Gonna check around in the Bios and then connect an HDD.

Pretty happy, just hope I don't dork anything.

hmmmm..... 39C on the chipset at stock settings on an out of the case build.... Now i'm really thinking i've been stressing over nothing.

Carl, aint nothin but a walk in the park. You'll be fine.

Don't worry about it Carl, a man of your experience, it'll be a walk in the park

The "Support hotline" is always there, if you need it

Just bagged myself an E8500 today, it should be with me on Monday. So i'll be joining you in the new cpu stakes (read rookie )

[soundx98]

screwed up a little as I loaded windoz at 3.5
Gonna do the updates and then SP3.
BlueAqua is coming over tomorrow morning and we'll see if we can do a lil 4G+ action.

This is the board that was giving ooeric booting fits.
I just might have some compatible components.
Really been a breeze so far.
Man this thing boots fast.

I'll post all the settings once I get her hot and bothered.
Thanks for the vote on confidence Praz and kitfit1

SG is reading 14 degrees on the CPU and it's about 60 in here so I doubt if it is correct.

Big shout out to SuperShanks lurking around this thread

Look ma, I'm driving an Intel.

Go into the PC Health section of the BIOS and adjust the CPU temp offset to bring it close inline with what CoreTemp reports.

Be careful with the wolf guys, I don't know if I just got unlucky or what but I had a nice E8400 & it lasted 6 hours @ 600fsb then it went super nova & I never had it over 1.4v.

what multi did you use?

[C-N]

what multi did you use?

7 to start then 8 when it died.

$hit! How the hell could it die with only 1.4v?

[turtletrax]

@turtletrax: bro can you post your bios settings on that please...Thanks!

Dude! That's great, I bet it feels good to find stability that low vcore. I'm still jumping all over the place with quick tests and trying for fast superpi 1m before I lock it down.

So what were all of the final voltage settings to get that stable? Did you manually set the sub timings or leave it all at auto? What about the fine clock fine delay, did you mess with that?

If you have the time I'd love to see your bios.

Thanks Turtle!

I will Be back with settings in a little bit guys

Sorry to hear that C-N....
