** OFFICIAL ** Intel DX38BT & DX48BT2 BoneTrail Thread

[rchelicopter]

Yes I had that problem. I received a new board from Intel and it went all bad. So I bought an Asus Maximus Extreme and moved forward with that. Eventually Intel did offer to exchange the DX38BT I had for a DX48BT2, which I accepted. Last week I put together another machine with that board and a QX9770 CPU. I am still running the 1521 bios version. It has the exact same problem, can't change CPU voltage. I get back home tomorrow and I will load in the new bios and see what I can do. I also could not get the beta version of IDCC to work (running Vista Ultimate 64 bit) but there is also a newer version of that. If that works, I'll try to change the CPU voltage through that as well. I'd rather do it in the bios, but if that's the only way that works.....

I'll report back when I have answers.

So you had this problem on an X38, because my previous X38 was fine it's only this X48 I have that doesn't change voltage. I'm starting to get nervous because I'm recieving a new board today, I hope it doesnt have the same problem..

So far I have had this problem on the one DX38BT that I had functional for a while and now I have it on the DX48BT with all totally different hardware. Different CPU, different RAM, different everything.

I do have another DX48BT that I will build up in the next few months, but I'm going into it thinking that I won't be able to change CPU voltage.
