**Official DFI LanParty UT X48-T2R(and LT) Discussion

[AKHandyman]

Anyone seen anything on the UT X48 T3R using DDR3 memory? Besides Praz over at DFI Club?

[Rinaun]

So after my two sticks of G.skill PC2 8000 died, I got4GB of D9gmh Crucials (ddr2 800). Right now, I have my settings at 452 x 8 with the memory at 1086 at timings of around 5-5-5-6 with a trfc of 30.

From what I've been hearing though, people have said that running these sticks sub 1000MHZ at cas4 or whatever is faster than the same memory OC'd to around 1100MHZ Cas5. Is this true?

Also, the subtimings seems to be giving me major issues. Some just don't want to stay at the number I set in the bios, especially TRTP. Does anyone have any helpful hints whom have used this ram? These things are like ferrari's waiting to be tuned :P

edit: Zsamz, I see you've owned quite a few D9's, care to share any subtiming advice?

not all d9 are the same so many sets i got that each require different setting
most important is trfc @ 1200+ 5-5-5-15-4-28 always 333/800 divider it requires less voltage the rest you gotta can leave on auto
lower speed lower trfc some of my d9 need 40 trfc i dont run below 1200
and remember a little more juice to nb n reduce your pl level dont be afraid to give nb 1.6v

according to memset i usin now 5-5-5-15-4-28-8-11-10-3-7-4-4
subtimings can be looser withought affecting performance

2.2V mem
1.63 NB
1.47 CPU
1.338 VTT

I'm not sure if I should go higher, or search for tighter timings. the higher I go the more NB volts I need
any more suggestions?

you have tio base your decision on lowest voltage required
me i decided to run 1200+ cause 333/800 strap @ 500fsb+ only need 2.02v
if i do cas 4 1000+ i need 2.24v
you sure you got "fatbodies" d9gmh didnt know d9hmh was fatbody
fatbodies like tight timings you should be running 4-4-4-8-3-22@1000+

Your tempting me to pop the covers
BL12864aa804.16fd3 is the numbers on ONE side, from what my terrible eyes can read. I'm almost positive these run great, I'm just ing SOME setting up.

If I did push for 500 FSB on 333/800, what volts am I looking at NB/VTT wise? Won't I then need to tune gtls again?


Edit: BL12864aa804.16fd3 = D9GMH, D9GCT, D9GKX, or D9DQW. Which ones am I hoping to avoid when I pop the covers ?

double edit: I found on the chips the number 0726-25F. I also found another, KZ7J.

triple: They're either GMH or GKX, both of which are good. No fatbodys though

i just bought a set yes i'm sick for d9
ballistix pc2-8500 16f3d 2.02v 1240mhz old style with clips

500fsb with a quad gonna be some major gtl tuning
you gonna need 1.5+ on nb

I don't blame you. They run so nice! Care to share subtimings? I think I might have one set too tight and thats what is causing my minimal issues. I'm 5-5-4-10 at 1.57 NB at 450 FSB.

[SuporterPoli]

Got the following hardware:
Q9450 L812B264
DFI UT X48 T2R with Thermalright HR05SLI/IFX on NB+Zalman low profile 80mm fan
Thermalright Ultra120Extreme lapped+SFF21F(1600rpm)+washer mod
2x2GB Mushkin Redline PC8000(5-5-5-15@2.1V)
Corsair 1000HX
Lian Li PC A16B with Scythe KamaBay with a SFF21F in front,also another SFF21F for the exhaust,lateral exhaust fan also mounted so pretty much all cooling power that this case has to offer is used
I started the overclocking process by choosing a low multiplier(6x) and a high fsb(450) but i get a post code for a faulty cpu(4E).
I tryed then different voltage combinations but with not much of a success and this is why i am asking you for your help.
This is what i've tryed so far:

As a general rule i did not want to exceed the following maximums:
VID 1.4
NB 1.6
VTT 1.4
I did not start to mess with the GTLs because the **** thing is not stable at 3.5-3.6.
Thanks in advance for the willings that want to help me .

i got 11 sets now
use 333/800 divider less volts needed
trfc 28-36 all precharge 4 u be happy
no need for so much nb volts @ 450fsb 1.45 is enough
i can do 500fsb+ with 1.5 but i run @ 1.6 for xtra pl level

Awesome! I got 5-5-4-10-28 stable but I'll compare it to 4-4-4-10 in the 900's, and see which is best

you running 4 sticks n mixin dmh with gkx?

[Rinaun]

No. both sets were purchased at the same time, both with identical serials. Unless the only way to tell is looking under each set, then I haven't checked all of them.

my d9gkx need 2.24v to work properly or even boot lol
the way i see it if you can do 4-4-4-12 1100+ 2.3v or 3-3-3-8 900+its gkx

We'll find out after I defrag , I'll bump quickly and try 3-3-3-8 900.

well i finally got my 4850's in and finished assembly.. and the x48 does not post at all. no bios nothing. monitor doesnt even come on?? the error code just shows 88 on the display. i tried 3 different cpu's 2 sets of ram in single and double sets, a 8800gtx and the 4870 gpu and nothing.. any ideas????? i am so upset right now .. my second possibly dead dfi x48 (first one worked for about 30 seconds till the fet smoked on it)

Did you seat the 8-pin power connector in all the way?

[zfactor]

yes double checked that also.. ill check again.. all i get is code 88 which i guess means my board is dead. according to clunks code list it looks like either the nb or the bios is bad. man im so pissed right now.. and yes ive cleared the bios more than a few times that doesnt work..im past my newegg return time so this i guess would be rma.. to much time for me.. ill buy something else if this cant be fixed..

[SimpleTECH]

Isn't your board still under warranty with DFI? Can't you issue an RMA?

[zfactor]

i NEED this system running, if i have to rma again forget it im done.. if after 2 mobo's i have to buy another im done with dfi.. im soo pissed right now

i have checked everything i can and now the board turns on i get the 88 and in about 10 seconds shuts down

[zfactor]

well i got it to stop shutting down on me but now im back to the original way it was.. post code 88 and nothing else.. im using a corsair tx750 watt psu with this, unfprtunatly i dont have another to try right now.. not sure if that could be the issue but i REALLY odnt need another psu and hate to buy one if thats not the problem

[Rinaun]

So basically 3-3-3-8 isnt possible with 2.32V at ddr2 900 for my crucials. I'm going to assume they are GMH then. Should I try a different Timing combo or high MHZ/Tight timings now that I know they aren't GKX?

Thanks a bunch Zsamz

[zfactor]

well i took a multi meter to the psu cables and im getting 6.3 out of the 5v leads, and 14.70 - 15.3 out of the 12v ones?? wow ... maybe to much voltage?? im stumped i just dont see how 2 boards in a row can be bad..also the cpu is not even getting warm to the touch at all..this is weird

[Praz]

If those are accurate voltage readings that is most likely why two boards in a row are bad.

[zfactor]

i tested the yellow and black on the 8 pin plug while the board was running as quickly as i can. i get 15.3 as well on the 4 pin plugs and the 24 pin connector as well with the meter set to a 20v dc reading setting... this is with a fluke meter which i 100% know how to use. i also get 6.37 out of the red / black on the rest of the plugs.

so do you think the board is bad now?? as i said all i get is a code 88 and nothing but fans and drives spinning up. the cpu is not getting warm at all. nothing smells like it smoked on this board so im not sure what could have happened if anything.. help>?????????? i just dont want to go buy another very expensive psu if its not the issue.. ill check it with another meter as well here in a minute. but could to much voltage make the board not boot up??
