they d9ghm deadman

produced after 2008 are powerchips t'ill a few months ago the egg had them n d9gmh

my powerchips do 1142 2.05v jcool

[jcool]

Well I guess mine just plain sucked then. 1100 at 2,08V any more voltage and they would crap out lol. Less and it wouldn't work. But I can run 1100 CL5 with like 2,05V and 4x1 D9GMH with sooo much headroom, so I prefer them.

[deadman'sclick]

ive got two sets of the reapers, those in my last post are the newer set e.g week & a half old. the new set use a black pcb & the older one's have the green pcb's.

i assumed the newer kit would still be D9's like the green pcb chips, thanks for the heads up on that though

Anyone else having a horrible time clocking wolfdale FSB on this board? Mine hard walls at 533 even with dice, different chips, and every setting change imaginable.

after 535 you need to adjust gtl verry well you gonna have to set glt much lower 1 wrong settin you not gettin over 533fsb
no need for more than 1.65v nb
you wont get past even on ln2 if you got wrong gtl setting

1100 2.08v is not d9gmh 4 sure
try goin 1.0-2.0 they might clock higher

[jcool]

No, the 1100 at 2,08V were powerchips.
My D9GMH run 1100 at 2,05V in 4x1GB config. 2Gigs Crucual Value 533 () and 2gigs Cellshock 800C4. They can go higher of course, but for 24/7 crunching I don't want to strain them too much.

i'm runnin 4x1 1220 2.05v

[jcool]

Yeah but you're not runnin 50$ sticks

[Dimek]

Any news about new bios ?

[zsamz_]

Yeah but you're not runnin 50$ sticks

ya i actually paid 70$ for each set after mir
my 25$ sticks can do it too but need 2.3v
i gonna see how far i can go on 4x1 for fun soon

i been waitin long time for a better bios dimek is there hope lol
knockin on dfi door but no one answerin

We got to find a way to wake them up.

Seriously, I suspect that a bad C1 Error had tripped the vCORE up by accident and damaged my Q6600. I only found it a reboot cycle later. Dang flawed BIOS. Now I have to raise the voltage by a notch to stabilize the CPU. Not cool!

makes me feel like i bought a gigabyte board talkin about support
soon i'll just give up n put in my ut p35

As I can see it, we have to find them first... then try to wake'em up...

Seriously, it's ridiculous - this kind of mobo is having 6 bioses (wow ) and there is only one operational version for me (initial release)..... or maybe it's just me who should be awaken

1/11 is best for me
funny such a strong board n having a weak bios

I read about the "450 fsb wall" on X38 based motherboard in general but my year old Q6600 runs perfectly fine ( OCCT overnight, P95 24 hrs+ stable ) on this board @ 3.7 ( 8 x 463 ).
I'm getting a Q9450 soon and I'll be one darn happy camper if the Penryn chip can reach 3.7 as well. Anybody has experience with a 45nm chip on this board ?

TIA

Most likely will find out that you are taking a step backwards with that purchase.

[zsamz_]

this is 4 the 4 stix lovers can go higher but i just hate low fsb
first pic is 2 stix second pic is 4 stix

[zsamz_]

this is my new 24/7 4 stix @ 2.05v

[vws]

Praz - will this statement still hold true with the UT P35 board? What is limiting the Q9450 FSB, the chipset, the mobo/BIOS, or the CPU itself?

The 45nm quads as a group seem more FSB limited then the Q6600.

both in my opinion the ut p35 is better
but some newer batches of q6600 not too good but dont expect goin 450+ 24/7 anyways

[vws]

Thanks Praz & Sam - I've always thought all the Penryns excel in the FSB dept. Looks like the quads are excluded for the moment. Hopefully the upcoming E0 stepping will fix it.

Just got a DFI LP LT X38-T2R board just the other night got it installed and up and running. Getting my 2x 4850's today.

System specs in sig, mobo and video not updated. I know its in here somewhere but is there any good posts dealing with tuning up a E8400 with 4x sticks of G.Skill PC-6400 ram? Ideally getting my CPU back to 4Ghz is ideal, even more so for benching will rock

Also one thing I noticed with this over my ABIT IP35-Pro that I have. At least with the V-Droop setting enabled, when I reads 1.175V bios its actually ~1.2V. Man before I had to pump 1.37V in the bios to get 1.225V to get my chip stable at 4Ghz, with this seems like I should be able to hit 4Ghz on default VID. Is it recommend to run V-Droop on or off?

no need to vdrop board has verry little carefull the board overvolts cpu
aim for 500x8 pl9 set pulls eaeee eaaee =8 1.55-1.61 nb
bios readings are off trust hwmonitor
