Can any1 tell me the difference between using 400;800 and 333;667 because both give a 1.1 ratio ???
Thanks Paul.

400:800 is looser strap

[wilson]

Thanks m8, so 400;800 should help me overclock more that if it was set at 333;667. I only ask as when im messing with occt i can get code 1 and code 4 errors so by using 400;800 i could push my cpu more because of the looser strap on the ram??

use 333/800 strap needs less volts on ram i got mine @ 1230mhz with 2.03v

[anubis_is_evil]

finally, it detects my E8400 weird !

so i tried to pushed it while it detect...

some how its hard for me to clock my E84 into 4.4Ghz 440 X 9...

is it true that this X48 have limitation ???

anyone can help me the best voltage setting to raise up about 500 X 9 ?

and btw what is the perfect GTL should be ? is't neccessary to use GTL ?

thx........

every chip may vary m8, i reckon around 1.37 - 1.44 for that clock.. my Q6600 needs only 1.4v stable at 3.6 with this board instead of 1.47v with my old x38 quadGT, but u can find tons of guide here if u havent read.

good luck

wow thx asap for the guide, that is what i'm really2 looking for

yur the best ! mate

thx again dan terima kasih hehehe

[asap]

no probs, bro
happy to hear that 45nm of yours working well now

trima kasih

Not sure if this was posted before, but TomsHardware just did an X48 roundup here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...d,1941-29.html

And guess what..the DFI came out on top as the best CPU overclocker..

[safan80]

I can't wait for a bios update I hate the fact that my usb or ps2 keyboards won't respond sometimes at boot.

here's a bench of everest photoworxx DFI x48 vs Asus MF at the same clock. guess which one is faster

[MomijiTMO]

How have these boards been fairing from a QC point? I will consider buying one tomorrow if people haven't been having too much trouble with the lottery.

EDIT : I see some people have had issues. Time to see what the warranty policy is at my shop haha.

[emoners]

@Martinm210 & safan80: thanks for posting! but this article from HardwareZone is making the DFI get burned by a clown board.

[MomijiTMO]

Bloody hell it is so confusing. HardwareZone got a low OC but I'm going to blame it on their skills. I'm still deciding on whether to get this board or wait for P45. I don't see P45 being that much cheaper, especially when everyone starts piling on the extra things like 4 ethernet ports.

yup the dq6 is a clown compared to the dfi
the guy musta been a real n00b

Toss that article on the trash...

If you don't know what your doing don't buy a DFI and never think about doing a review of it.

[TouGe]

Cellshocks came today. MemoryC rocks for cheap fast shipping. I've got to go to work in about 30 minutes so I'll mess around with them tomorrow morning and post back my results/problems.

[me3850]

works goods cell shock with this board...

that sounds like it might help the thermal probe problem on the 45nm

Can't seem to find that file on the DFI site... Nvm found the beta site.

praz: - nice results with 4gb.and vantage. my score was alot lower than that , i wont post it since its fairly misserable lol
just wondering if u tried tighter settings with ram and what happend . also do u think theres any benifit to setting tref higher ? with either latency or stability? i have mine on 16383T but didnt notice a difference . not sure what its function is exactly.

[s3rv3r]

What is the maximum FSB with dual core support in this motherboard?
It's possible 555MHz in the bus ?

[cowie]

very nice praz
hey praz in your opinion which board do you like better for max crasy clocks, the p35 ut t2r or the x48 t2r?
