so thats with your gkx right, then my theory would be correct and i think that there is a setting that we are missing some ware, or with adjustments to the fine delay gkx and whatever have will work correct

i got it on more aggressive

n i can drop performance level ny 1 compared to my ballistix
but still this board loves ballistix best 1200mhz +
with d9gkx its just piking the right fsb+ running 5-4-4-9 or 4-5-4-12

[Aerou]

whats with the board revisions?

Mine is Rev. A China , got it in January

Any "serious" differences?

[zanzabar]

i think that they just came with diffrent bioses and there was a problem with the voltage table for the NB with the china boards, mine is a tiwan

[sparks]

I got everything put together and now I have a new problem.

Its the memory.
I have 2 pc6400 crucialx sticks and all it does is the standy power LED blinks and thats it.

Junk memory or what?

chek your power connections properly
i had that problem 1pin of the 24pin connector was not making contact

[sparks]

after checking my connections.
I tried one stick at a time. (should have done that first)
one stick boots the other wont.

typical luck
I purchased these as a matched pair but I bet that there is no such thing.
2 sticks one little box last year when they were selling for $60.
not sure what they do on replacements..

any good 2G sticks for this board if not any good 1G sticks I should be looking at?
My other system has Gskill bhz and I don't want to strip that system to get this working.

yup they fixed the bios for the china boards n now my taiwan board gets less volts for nb

if you can find double sided ballistix "beware of the single sided crap"
or gskillz 8000 2x2 or 2x1

Hello guys
What u may recommend for watercooling north bridge?
Swiftech MCW30 is only choice?

And for cooling south, will be passive radiator enough?
I think about Enzotech CNB-R1 or CND-S1L, how they perform?

Hi,

Watercooling for NB in this board you could use the more up to date Enzotech SNBW:


For SouthBridge haven't seen better then the SLF-1:


If you don't care about looks/sexiest get the MCW30 it will do the job also.

[rioja]

Hm, I like how enzotech looks very much
But may I ask - Enzo SNBW will it fully cover NB? It seems basement not square.

And about SLF-1 - will be enough just passive, without fan?
I'm planning to run quad at ~500 FSB


Thx

GSkill 2x2GB 4BGPQ PC 8000, --> cheap, good.
I have 2x2GB OCZ XTC platinum, probably about the same, with the Gskill MAYBE a tad better in terms of overclocking. Got 4GB for EU90. Running 530-540mhz, 5-6-6-18 or 500ish 5-5-4-15. It's good but not ultra-high end overclock memory. Both very good price/perf ratio.

The SNBW covers nearly the entire northbridge. I have one on mine and it works fine. Another NB block that works is DangerDen MCP-Universal and it comes in sexy brass tops!

Also, at 500 FSB Quad. Unless you are on phase or cascade, you will never see that. Sorry, just the facts.

wow, nearly?! just how ahalf pregnant woman, right
also ive got several news about swif-30 and enzo blocks - guys say they dont cover whole hs, sad
i think my ek asus will be best choice

but about sb - will be small passive enzo enough at 480-500 fsb?

thx )/

Do you have the SLF-1 currently installed? I was thinking about getting one. Do you think there are any clearance issues for a second vid card in the middle PCIe 16x slot? It looks just a little bit close...

I have both the Enzotech SNBW-SLI NB waterblock and the Enzotech SLF-1 SB heatsink and Fan, and they both work great! My temps for NB at 3890 MHz under Prime 95 are only 39 C. The Enzo NB doesn't quite cover everything, but it covers the main 90%, and I sure can't complain about temperatures

I use 2 x HD 3780's in crossfire and the clearance is perfect. And I do have one installed (have to update sig).

The SLF-1 is not passive has a great fan that can spin on the desired rpm's just control it thru the system fan connector...

It's inaudible also.

When I say "nearly" I mean over 90%. It may not cover the entire block, but the exposed part is tiny. I had temps in the mid 30s at 1.7 V on the NB. I don't know how else to convince you that it works, but it really does.

Whoever your "guys" are, they are wrong. don't make me take a picture with my ty cell phone cam, cuz I will!!

[BailA]

Hi,the board have problem with Vista X64?

[NeoGeo333]

to all looking to watercool the chipset dangerden is coming with a special block designed just for the p-35 and x-38. I saw it from hardocp forum a person working from DD said so. let just hope it covers all of it and released soon.

[zanzabar]

dose any1 still sell the bios blocks i think that i need to get a spare if im going to go over 500 fsb since ive already had to reflash my bios


and how do u tell what delays to use im not getting how this works and zamz recommendations wouldent post, but i did get this at 1ghz c4, the c4 is better for general use from what ive been doing so im sticking with that for now

i go that better with the fine delay, but i need to up the read

[sparks]

well its time for new memory and I don't know what to do.

dfi x38 UT
E8400
TRUE 120

any memory get this to 4g on a good day LOL

anything close and I will be happy.
2x1G sticks or 2x2G sticks ?

xp pro 32 bit

what should I do?
