Challenge the limitation of Quad-core CPU-DFI LANParty DK P35 First Look

[Supertim0r]

i installed the E8400 tonight and 1.376v idle = 1.344v load

almost the same vdroop as Q9550

[Jupiler]

Did that prime95 run go for a full 8 hours??? I am poised to use this board on another build i am doing for a friend. I was concerned with the 4 phase PWM not being able to handle the quad but your post intrigued me.

Sorry, but I haven't tested it for 8 hours long.
I'll see what I can do.

there is no any v-drop mod for this mobo ?

Someone coold help here

[MacClipper]

Can anyone tell me what this mosfet (circled red) feeds? Cos it (and the undersurface of the mobo below it) are running really hot.

Would it be worth buying the DFI LANPARTY DK P35-T2RS when I already have an Abit IP35 Pro being RMA'd? Would it be a better board for OC'ing? I know somebody that will import it from america (newegg) for me but I will have to pay for customs.

That Abit board is a sweet one. I don't think the Lanparty DK would be a significant improvement over that board.

Thanks man. It's no big deal 4 hours is pretty good as well. I may just go ahead with this board. Just curious if you got an 8 hour run stable out of it is all.

[MacClipper]

Passed >4h of Prime95 Small FFTs with my old L722A Q6600 at 1.44v 9 x 400FSB (shows chip OK) but just couldn't go over a mere 40mins of Blend without system rebooting. Dropped one multiplier to 8x with same settings (shows mobo/RAM settings OK) and it clears, obviously the onboard 4 phase supply can't supply stable enough to keep both chip and mobo happy at the same time or can there any other possible reason/s?

Using a newish Corsair 620HX.

NB cooling ?

edit : only a 120mm @ 800rpm over the NB/RAM gave me 22-24c less on the NB (AND the stock cooler on the Q9550 is temporary...the tuniq doesn't fit)

[Afterburner]

Overall cooling is a must, I got a 120mm for the PWM/RAM/NB and another 120mm at the base for the SB area and I'm just OCing mildly for now...

Why Tuniq doesn't fit?

[Supertim0r]

Why Tuniq doesn't fit?

with a mounting mod, yes but it doesn't fit in my case

Got a reboot after 3.5 hours of Prime. bummer.
I used the same settings as with the 475*8 run, only this time I changed back to 423*9.
Sometimes, I got reboots after 30 minutes of Prime.
Maybe it might be a heat issue with the NB and PWM's, as they got over 70°.

Placed a 80mm right before the NB, and temps went down to low 40's, but still got that reboot after 3.5hours.

I just received my DFI UT35, gonna give that one a try.(unless you want me to have another go).
I think the DK will go in another rig, along with a E6750.

Bummer. I was kind of expecting this with only 4 phase PWM though. Thanks a lot for testing that out for me. You saved me and my friend from big disappointment. Looks like it's gonna be the Abit IP35-pro instead.

[Jupiler]

No problem.

I don't know why I get these reboots, not even a BSOD or so. Just hard reboots.
I was suspecting my memory (2Gb Ballistix PC8500) with even at 333/667 mem divider, I got these reboots.
Also keep in mind that I'm running my quad at 3.8Ghz, which might be a little to much for this board.

[MacClipper]

Same thing I got with my Q6600@3.6 doing Prime95 Blends, sudden system reboots when Small FFTs clears over 4hrs without problems, see post #184 above.

The stock NB sticker/wty issue is a PITA since NB temps are uncomfortably high with overvolted quads.

[Jupiler]

Indeed, those spots (NB and PWM's) need some good active cooling.

So Tuniq is OK with DFI LP DK P35? I have Tuniq and I want to buy DFI LP DK P35.

Abit IP35 Pro also has 4 phase PWM AFAIK.

Is it? For some reason i thought it was 6 or 8. Regardless... there is a thread on it here where there are tons of people running quads @ 3.6ghz+ no problem. Ace-A-Rue is a perfect example.

Yes, it's 4 phase.
You can run Q6600@ 3.6Ghz+ on DFI Blood Iron P35 (and LP DK) also.

I'm sure you can. Prime95 blend for 8 hours though? I can't seem to find a screenshot of this anywhere. I know i had a heck of a time with my P965-S. Same deal. No BSOD just a reboot after about 30-40 minutes.

Regarding the Tuniq Tower and the p35 dark. I had to mount it exhausting up instead to back of the case.

I used a dremel to cut those parts circled in red

edit : be carefull...the way you mounted it, the base will hit the caps

ya, I was going to do the same thing this weekend.
