That's some excellent work Clunk! I hope when my phase system is completed, that you'll help me out with my 9770 and OCZ Flex II 8-8-8 kit on this mobo...I believe it's the same memory as the Platinum EB that you used but since it has better cooling, they released it with a tighter timing...I wonder if 2.1ghz would be possible with water cooling on the memory.Here
the last run was just to see how high it would go with the 9.5 multi at 1:2. I was hoping to get to 500/2000 but i was just short of that at 488/1952.
Going to try with a lower multi and see what I can get

Not sure about the memory yet, not managed to hit the rated speed with any stability yet, so can't comment there.
I just wish they would hurry up with a 500fsb+-enabled-non-alpha-publically-available-BIOS so I can move on with the review
@karl
Hows the Hotflashed BIOS chip?Hot flashing really comes in handy. hehehe Hope you enjoy your new toy.

Max FSB? Nice bench's
Thanks. Don't know about the FSB yet. Haven't even had any 1x2GB sticks in it. Testing a couple more 2x2GB sets then will find out what it can do with 8GB. After that will look at 1x2GB and max FSB. The BIOS is still being tuned also. Oskar is sending several alphas versions each say. The above screenshots were done with an official version.
Great work Praz, thanks for posting! I had to keep remembering that your running 2 x 2GB moduls, not 2x 1GB! With that said very impressive results! I'm curious about your "Read Delay Phase Adjust" settings. I've yet to play with them much and when I have I couldn't notice any significant benchmark results or stability results. Is there any chance you would share why you ended up changing all the "Channel 1" settings to "Enabled", was it for stability or performance? Also in the BIOS screenshots you posted it looks like you have "T2 Dispatch" setting set to Disabled, but in your BIOS Settings Code you have it listed as "Auto". For the results you have posted did you have the BIOS "T2 Dispatch" setting set to "Disabled" or "Auto". Thanks again Praz for your help! Like you I'm still working with 06/09, although I've tried a couple of the new Beta's released recently.

Fixed T2 Dispatch. With 2x2GB sticks it needs to be disabled. Depending on speed, both Enhance Data Transmitting and Enhance Addressing may also have to be set to Disabled. Everest shows a gain with tRD set at 8 1/2 compared to 9. The board can do a straight 8 but it requires quite a bit of increase to NB voltage to hold stability.

Nice results! I should have forked out the extra few dollars for this board instead of my DK x38.
nice...!!! i want one but i want to wait for the x58 tr3
No, I think he had a date tonight...
He and his EK Supreme are out for a night on the town!
Thanks guys. Some OCZ 1600EB 2x1GB sticks using the 06/09 BIOS. Just a quick run to get some base settings.

So, this board will not boot, out of the box, with the Corsair 1600C7DHX ?
Intel i7 920 d0 @ 4410MHz @ 1.36v :: Prolimatech Mega Shadow :: Gigabyte EX58-UD5 F9K :: 6GB Mushkin XP3-15000 :: HIS 5870 :: Corsair 1000W :: HannsG 27.5" :: Lian Li V1010B
It depends on what the SPD is programmed to boot at not the actual rating of the ram.So, this board will not boot, out of the box, with the Corsair 1600C7DHX ?
I see. I would greatly appreciate for anyone that's using that ram to check the SPD ratings. It would suck to spend ~400EUR and just look at the damn box.
Intel i7 920 d0 @ 4410MHz @ 1.36v :: Prolimatech Mega Shadow :: Gigabyte EX58-UD5 F9K :: 6GB Mushkin XP3-15000 :: HIS 5870 :: Corsair 1000W :: HannsG 27.5" :: Lian Li V1010B
Ask Corsair what CAS value the ram will boot with.
Just sent them an email. Maybe DFI will address that issue though untill the 8th when i will probably buy the motherboard.

The issue is already addressed, The 06/09 and later BIOS' will boot regardless of ram used. But there are still some boards for sale with an older BIOS.
is it just the x48 tr3 that has those thermalright heatsinks?
how about the x48 tr2?
