**Official DFI LanParty UT P35-T2R Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**

I found 3/17 MUCH better than 12/24 for stability. It has a good amount of new features to tweak as well. Been on 3/17 since first day of release and have zero issues whatsoever. 12/24 was good when it was out but 3/17 imo is a much better bios.

Thx for the tip man, will try it.

What are the differences in stability you have noticed with 3/17 and 65 nm CPU's? I thought that most of the updates since 12/24 were for 45 nm CPU's. Also will my BIOS profiles still be usable if I update? 12/24 seems fine to me and I'm not going to change unless there are some clear reasons.

Has anyone tried that new stuff, Auto Boost System?

Seems i can't figure out how to make a bank profile...

Anybody here with a QX9650? what VTT's are usually required above 4ghz and 400fsb. thanks.

I didn't even know it was going to be implemented for the P35. Why isn't there news about this all over DFI club? Are you using some kind of beta or something?

[Praz]

With the exception of the F1 key the software works on all the P35, X38, X48 and P45 boards.

[breakfromyou]

I flashed to the 3/17? bios, and now everytime i turn the system on, the motherboard speaker kind of chirps at me...more like a growl. it's really freaking weird, but why the hell does this happen?

[fireice2]

Is it really true that this particular QX9650 (ES) is a voltage hog?

Not a beta, some guy got it with a LanParty Dark P45 T2RS and uploaded it, so i wandered if anyone has tried it already.

I would really appreaciate if you could post one of the reference bios settings that you did before, that is for a bios that uses fsb in excess of 525. I know you ried it...like many of us
I have the same motherboard, may bios and use april batch 8400 cpu. Most imorportant to me are gtl, bios and ,mem valuse. Thanks for any advice.

This is the only thing I could find with settings listed. But it's not an E8400 CPU.

@praz

what is a good starting point for GTL settings for 45nm quads?

[Volkswagen]

Hello guys,

Just wanted to see if you could achieve my goal/dream

Q6600 L737A 1.275 Vid
G.Skill 2 x 2 GB DDR2 800mhz

All I want to do is 9 x 400 and I would be a happy camper

If you guys could post/reccomed some settings with simular ram ( I know I am not the only one with this type of ram and cpu ) that would be great and I guess I could work from there.

ATM I have it at 8 x 400 and its been fine for couple of months now.

Anyone Guys.....Just something like a base to work off?

[Volkswagen]

Praz- your input would be greatly apperciated to the question above this post

Check this out first:
Quad Core OC Database.

no info on GTL's for the 45nm parts. huhuhu

[haoster]

i just downclocked my 8400 from 4.2g to 4g, because the hot summer weather.
with less volts to vcore, vnb, i can get it stable for prime95 5 hours or so. also occt ram, cpu and mix are all stable.
but once i play world of warcraft, it randomly crashes between 1-2 hours... real temp shows both core are at 40c when running the game...so i guess its not an overheat issues...
anyone have any suggestions?

Haven’t had the privilege to own a 45nm quad yet but the 45nm dual core's like 60 ish with maybe 5 clicks either way.

I've also found my board likes/needs the NB GTL to be adjusted independently of the CPU GTL's as I raise NB voltage to stop lockups etc. I first noticed this strange NB GTL behaviour when shooting for high FSB because the board would not boot over about 1.6v NB.

For example my rig will run my E8500 @ 4GHz 1.25v vcore 1.45v NB with no GTL tuning, 4.2GHz I need 1.28V vcore 1.53v NB 60,60,60 & 4.3GHz 1.34v vcore 1.57v NB 60,60,69.

Something between 110/110/110 and 120/120/120 is a good starting point for 45nm Quads.

[mad_skills]

Something like this VID Control 1.25V and VTT voltage around 1.6V (1.59x) then this can be used as a starting point
CPU GTL 1/2 Volt: 115
CPU GTL 0/3 Volt: 114
North Bridge GTL Volt: 115
Jupiler got it....Also, there is some data about this on techpowerup forums.

I believe it will work, I just remember this article.

It does, and with Quads, even quicker than dual cores.

With all due respect mad-skills, because i know they arn't your settings. That list of bios settings is just about the most thoughtless list i have seen. Anyone that has been around 45nm's for any length of time knows that just throwing voltage at it does not work. I will lay odds on, that clock was never stable, and the chip is now useless if it was run for any length of time anyway.

^^^^^^ About sums that up.
