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

[emoners]

@emon

been busy lately. I'm done with law school and just months away from my bar exam. This really gets in the way of the hobby. hehehe

I'm quite happy with my 4.05ghz 24/7 setup. Are you planning on getting a yorkfield for your rig?

i'm not sure yet coz it costs waaaay to much... think i have to give away a kidney...kindey anyone? but i always wanted a quad though...

good for you...good luck on the exam!

[Boogerlad]

does anyone know how to change the fsb strap on the p35-t2r? i think it has something to do with the vco divider and the jumpers jp14,jp13 and jp15, but i'm not sure. I heard that q9450 might have a fsb wall, so if i lower the strap, i might not hit it, but increase effictiency. thanks!

[Boogerlad]

or is it that divider thingy where it's like 266/800 or 200/667?

[the_real_7]

Right now Im set up at 3.6 prime stable at 4.4.4.12 and at good temps but with this new ram mushkin 4g (996580) ram I cant figure the subtimings of this board to get it to 900mhz or 1000mhz can anyone give me some helpfull tips to get some bandwitdh outa these sticks

I'll host it till DFI gets it up.

I don't know what ic's your Mushkin use but here are the all round ball park figures for micron & powerchip ic's that should help you out to make a start.

Micron scale up well & like up to 2.2 ~ 2.3v whilst the Powerchip just stop & don't like much more than 2.1v max im sure you will make a quess at your ic's when you spend time with them.

I would start with all the higher numbers & 2.0v (cooled with a fan) till you get your desired speed then one at a time tighten up & test each setting from the top down.

From what I see around you should see 1000mhz fairly easy.

Good luck

Awesome, thanks a ton for that confirmation.

[Brother Esau]

C1 seems to be common these days with DFI Bios

LP35D317 BIOS

It's also on the v11.1.0 of the Tmod/Loggan CD (looks like MemTest 2.01 has been added as well to the CD).
http://www.diy-street.com/forum/show...postcount=1348

So have you guys noticed any important differences?

[cantankerous]

I just flashed and can confirm it is working just as it was on previous bioses. I like how it actually lists the VID of your particular cpu when set to AUTO. Besides that, there doesn't seem to be anything else added. It hasn't been long but performance and stability is where it was at with 2/14 as well, not that there was anything wrong with that.

The only qualm is there are STILL using the old SATA RAID ROM bios version.

can you post a pick for the bold one please?

Also, regarding the sara raid rom you mention, do you think that it may have any link with my problem i describe here?

I am really stuck with this problem.

Hi there, im sorry but I have no camera available on me and I cannot take screenshots of the bios itself. It really isn't a big deal however. On older bioses if you set Vcore to AUTO it would just say AUTO. I happen to know my VID of my particular cpu is 1.2700 so when I choose AUTO on this latest bios it now reads AUTO 1.2700 which I thought was neat. It is completely cosmetic however.

I am unsure about your problem. I do NOT have the freezing you mentioned of but I do however get this iastor errors in event viewer from time to time. I also had issues where my optical burner would drop off the system but that hasn't happened in awhile. I am unsure if the sata raid rom update would do anything at all, I just know there is later and other board manufacturers have been using it since last November.

[cantankerous]

Just noticed something, is there no temp sensor for the Southbridge on this board? Everest and any other monitoring program is only showing temps for the Northbridge.

[Eldonko]

SB temp not important really, it will be fine with stock cooler.

[cantankerous]

I only ask because I am looking into getting the 9800GX2, and apparently it dumps a lot of heat over the SB area. Some reviewers were reporting really high SB temps because of this. I went to see what my current temp was to compare but it never showed.

ah..ok! no more need for a photo
thanks!

i find it very useful as i needed something similar a little time ago
http://csd.dficlub.org/forum/showpos...1&postcount=15

Anyway, I sent an email to Dfi asking about my problem and if there is any possibility that a new raid sata rom will fix it. I will keep you posted if anything interesting comes out.

Did you do anything to fix your iastor time outs/optical dropping?

[saint-francis]

I'll host it till DFI gets it up.

LP35D317 BIOS

Will this work for the LT? It seems that on the site there is only a BIOS listed for the UT.
Not really sure it makes a difference if I use it any way. 12/24 seems to work well with my Q6600.

[cantankerous]

the bios will work just fine on the LT.

[nzbleach]

has anyone found the need to cool the northbridge with anything other than stock cooling?

[mrcape]

3/17 flashed and working beautifully.

Thanks Praz for the file.
