Official DFI LanParty UT X38-T2R(and LT) Discussion/Review/Overclock/Guide Thread

my cpu dose that too i cant get it past 500mhz but i know that it can since i got it used from sniipe_dogg and he had it at 540 posting when i asked before he shipped it, over 500 is just missing something i need to put in

no man missin nothin its the damn board lol

i wanna just see 1 just 1 of those geniuses from dfi get past 560

i just tested my cpu on my p35 and i booted straight into windows @ 575

and nb is undervolting by 0.04 better chek yours with dmm

[Effet]

Yeah I think it's chip related. Zsamz is one luckky bastard. =/

no i not lucky i seen better ones
if i was gonna tempt my luck i woulda gotten a 6750
my old e6400 can go past 550
kunak has a nice e6300 he went past 600

edit:for those who havent changed nb heatsink put a 120mm fan on it n watch the temps drop
i took my hr-05/fx off to put a monster 120mm fan on my true
now i gonna mod my hr-07

actually something im curious of. if you have a gfx card int he top slot youre supposed to attach a floppy power cable to the connector just next to it so if you use the middle 16x slot do you need to have the floppy power cable connected to the top or middle conenctor?

[zanzabar]

whats the proper vco divider for 500mhz + fsb, and would changing the clock gen voltage help to get stable

with or withough same for me i only run 1 card but if you run 2 cards you gonna have to

333/667 or 333/800
just need more nb volta 1.5 should do

[Effet]

Hey zsamz, wanna post your volts (cpu, nb, vtt, gtl, pll) along with memory frequencies @ cas4 for 520MHz? I need them as references so I don't end up with a scorched system :P
thanks in advance.

What defects or options that are disabled between the DFI LP UT P35-T2R and DFI LP LT P35-T2R? Want to know if I really need to spend the extra money on the UT model. Thanks.

[quake6]

Only in heatpipes

[Origin_Unknown]

with or withough same for me i only run 1 card but if you run 2 cards you gonna have to

i ment if you move your only card down one slot do you need to move the floppy power down aswell?

[Tofu Guy]

Only in heatpipes

So would it be better to just get the LT version for high end OCing?

[zanzabar]

yes, the UT is useless it cools worse and has connecting heat pipes, so u dont have the option of a watter block with the UT like u do with the LT

Thank you so much for clearing that up.

Man this sucks.. wanted to flash to the latest official bios yesterday, so I went into bios and loaded defaults before the flash (naturally).
Note that I was running 2 weeks BOINC without pause with my mem 4x1GB D9GMH@1070 5-5-4-9 with 2,13V and a fan for cooling.

So I loaded the defaults, saved and... C1. Damn. Tried CMOS clear, cut power, nothing helped except taking all but 1 stick of ram out. It bootet right up, I flashed the bios and put them back in - C1. Argh!

So I tested each stick individually today with 3 different mobos and guess what... one of my Cellshocks is dead - AGAIN!

1. I have RMAed my 2Gigs of Cellshock 2 times already when one of them died for similarly pointless reasons (remember: I didn't touch a thing!)
2. What the hell did my DFI do when loading defaults with the official shipped release (!) bios?!

I can't believe this crap is happening to me... again. Never touch a running system, I guess.
Never had such problems with my cheepo 667 Crucial Values also carrying D9GMH - and they only cost 50 bucks as opposed to 200, go figure

At least Cellshock MSC is located in Germany so I will have them RMAed within a few days. I certainly know the procedure

Hmm...your abit mobo is dead, your cellshocks are dead, again....To me, it sounds like the PSU is the backstabbing rogue here.

sorry to hear that jcool

effet might have a point here.

Of course I have, I'm a red devil

Orthos is ing up, even at stock speeds I can bench my system in any way or shape, but as soon as I run Orthos for approx. 1min, the system reboots. Go figure :P

Orthos used to do that to me as well, until about the fifth time I ran it, then it was fine. I don't trust it anymore tho I do use it/shrug.

Like the DFI would even fire up with a Liberty 500
I swapped it for a Corsair HX520 when I rebuilt my mainrig.

[Effet]

Ah well, still sad to hear =/

so what is the real deal thing wrong with the "china" mobo's. i have one its rev: AA0. i guess it sucks i got one of these?? i keep reading a lot of people saying these china ones suck. someone please enlighten me. thanks

mine is taiwan i think it suks only can do 555fsb
i just think they used different part for nb voltage regulator
i think all x48 are made in china i doubt i be buyin dfi again if they gonna charge premium price n get it made cheap

I had a China AA0 and a China AA1 and I can say that the AA1 owned the AA0 in OC capabilities and stability.

But then again it could be only down to plain luck.

[zsamz_]

my board is damn picky i cant seem to do nothin with my mushkins need 2.32 just to get her stable
i put them in my p35 n they rockin @ 2.22
it even hates my micron fatties only likin d9gmh
anyone get past 555fsb on x38 or x48 with dfi
