the NB is a 90nm chip so it wont get damage until about 1.8-1.9V, so stop babying the chipset it will do 1.5-1.6V easy with the stock cooling

[s3rv3r]

yup the tighter the settings the higher nb voltage
you should see the beta bios lol its verry tight

I went back to version D320, this version is more stable for me.

[zsamz_]

tried the all betas i seem to be losing my sata drives after 500fsb

[zanzabar]

u need like 1.8V SB

[golfjam]

try dissabling gtl, and use low VTT (like 1.25) and then about 1.36V core with minimum vid add and 1.5V NB

Windows doesn't load. Thank you anyway.

[zsamz_]

u need like 1.8V SB

got it @ 1.89

[Rinaun]

+1
yup 1.5v+ i average 1.6v i can live with 1.5v but i like it tight my nb temps never hit 40c so ....

Bubbaxm2 you wrong the lower the pl level the higher the nb voltage

I did some more tweaking, apparently too much. I tried 1082 with some tightenings, and then BAM. Memtest erros consistently in one area. So I backed it off, to 800, and BAM. Errors in same spot. I drop them in another rig, BAM. Same spot, same stick.

Another stick bites the dust!

So now I have 2gb of Crucial PC6400 with yellow/machined edges spreaders. I'm 99% sure these are fatbodys. I bought these around a year ago and they've been boxed since.

Any links/suggestions to subtimings/trfc/PL/MHZ for these puppies? I'm cruising so far at 1100 5-5-5-15 2.2v.

I still get the problem in the bios and at the boot menu. The other problem I'm having is my areca 1280ML will not work in the middle slot without the system locking or the card hanging at the bios screen. it works great in the 4x pci-e slot but only at 4x and not 8x . It also worked great in my asus Maximus Formula on the second pci-e 2.0 slot at 8x.

edit: this issue makes me wish I would stuck with the Asus MF

I have an Areca ARC-1220 and am considering this board. Will your Areca work in PCIE3 (the PCIE close to the bottom of the board -- I think that's a full speed PCIE slot)?

its a 4x slot it will work with the areca card but its going to limit the burst speed a little with huge arrays since u will have 1GB/s each way

Thanks for the heads up on the fanspeed. I've got an empty spot on my Sunbeam fan controller. I guess it won't be empty much longer. What are your settings and Vdimm.

Just saw your sig. what Vdimm?

As far as the RAM, I'm just using stock settings for now, running the 333/800 divider and the recommended 2.1v (shows up as 2.06v in Everest, 2.04v in BIOS). I might get around to turning it down a little, I just don't have a lot of time for testing now that it's fricken hot all the time.

I've read where the 3870 is hit and miss with the TR2 X48 board, but how does the 4850 fair?

[emoners]

anybody tried crossfire on this board?

3870x2 is hit n miss u need to be readin more

[SuporterPoli]

Is 41C a high temp for the chipset with all voltages on stock? Ambient temperature is now a little hot,like 28-30degrees and i've got a HR05SLI/IFX mounted on the NB.

I plan to buy more memory, some 2x2GHz kit and need some advice.
Either Corsair Dominator TWIN2X8500C5DF or OCZ DDR2 PC8500 4096MB KIT, Reaper HPC
What kit will play nice/best with this board?

the dominators are real nice that would be my choice
anything with powerchips are great
my redline 2x2 doin 1130mhz with 2.03 real volts

I just got those exact Doms and like them so far. I haven't tried to push them yet but they do run at advertised specs at advertised voltage. NewEgg is still selling them for $106 after $30 MIR, the tri-fan, and free shipping.

Thanks zsamz and axis....
Then I go for a Corsair kit!
What timings and voltage do you use for moment?

[Reg Fessenden]

Hi emoners i am running 2 w/cooled HD2900 XT's in crossfire, works really well. Thinking about upgrading to HD4870's when i see some decent reviews and EK come up with some blocks for them

[NOGOODUSERID4ME]

Hey guys. This is my first post here but I've been lurking for a while and have over 1,000 posts on another tech forum. In other words, I have plenty of overclocking experience. Over the next six weeks I will be collecting components for my next build to replace my aging NF4 box, which I will not even bother to put in my sig.

After reading this entire 65-page thread, I've decided to go with another DFI board, the x48 LT T2R. I have just a few questions:

1. My plan was to watercool the CPU and NB, put an HR-09 and a 40mm fan on the PWMs, and repaste the stock SB sink. Will that be sufficient cooling or should I go through the trouble to get a PWM waterblock here in the US?

2. I can't decide between the Q6700 and the Q9450 for this board. Do you think there will be a big overclocking difference between them? I guess it comes down to whether this board's FSB will be limiting (therefore making the Q6700's 10x multi important) or the CPU will be limiting (making the 10x multi unimportant). If the difference is less than 200Mhz I will get the Q9450, otherwise the Q6700.

3. I've heard multiple memory recommendations in this thread for 2x2GB kits including the Corsair Dominators, the OCZ Flex II, and the G-Skill kits. I'm thinking of getting the OCZ Flex II PC2-9200, but is there a better choice? Also, I am correct in assuming that 2x2GB is better for than NB than 4x1GB with the load of a quad-core?

Thanks for all assistance.

[zanzabar]

1) that sounds good but the hr-09 wont fit the board, and the stock sink works great with mx2

2) on liquid the q6700 is better

3) ocz flex is bad its aluminum, and restricts flow and since power chips dont get hot its not worth it, and u cant go 4x1GB unless u want to spend alot of money on ghm and with liquid on teh cpu the fsb will be high enough that the powerchips that only do cas 5 will be good. i like the gskill non pi

[AKHandyman]

I have just gotten some time to get back at my QX9770 ... and I have the OCZ Flex ll PC2 9200 DIMMS. I have to say that once I got some voltage to them and re-did my volts on the NB ... I am having some way decent overclocks. I will soon put my rig under water, but not not for another two weeks or so. Been building a house so time with the computer is only when it's raining (like now )

5-5-5-15 @ 1050 and 1.95v per Smart Guardian.

what is everybody getting as far as fsb limit? mine appears to be 535. tested 3 cpu's all same fsb wall of 535 so my only conclusion is motherboard.

you need low gtl settings to get past 550
its a motherboard wall
for 1.55 vtt i set my gtls @ 106+106+105 i couldnt get past 555 with any of my boards
on ut p35 i hit 586 not maxed out yet
