nice 8/29 bios have broken my mobo...i see on diagnostic display "10" and stop at 10 error code...nice very nice -________-
and not only for me other peaple have same issues...

10 code error: Auto detec EEPROM Check Flash type and copy flash
write/erase routines to 0F000h segments

updated yesterday with no problems at all

[karateo]

Does anyone run 8gb at 1066Mhz on the T2R (DDR2)?

Can you please post your settings?

[freaksavior]

Are you leaving GTLs default? If so, what bios are you using.

My only stable overclock so far is 3200MHZ on my C1 Q9450 (400FSB)
All default voltages with only GTL tweaks. I'm using the 602 bios still. Without manualy setting the GTL I'm not stable even at 3200 mhz no matter how much voltage I pump. I'm starting to think the 602 bios sucks for C1 steppings?

freak you @ the fsb limit of cpu
more vtt might help but might not be safe
what bios you using

i am using 729 i think it is. i was going to put the chip in a biosat i45 tomorrow and see if that helps, i got 4 gb of crucial ballistix reds on the way so im going to half rip apart my dads pc and mine and have lot of fun tomorrow.

if his board clocks higher then im stealing it.

i think it will lol
let us know

I'm still not sure wether to sell the MB or the CPU or both...Time is not on my side right now and although I think this board has alot of potential it all comes down to how much time I want to spend tweeking the GTL's since the bios's auto is so far off from what my CPU needs.

Or just be satisfied with my overclock at all default voltages?

It seems my CPU is NOT Temp Limited, or Voltage Limited, but limited only by requiring strange GTL settings

I'd almost call it a bios issue. In fact it makes me wonder if other motherboards that are supposedly "better" just have better auto GTL settings. This is my theory anyways... So you can buy an inferior MB that has better/differt bios that may match your particular CPU's GTL requirements and get better overclocks. Damn you Intel for making this so complex for us overclockers! I hope AMD make a come back soon im tired of these shenan tactics!

i told you long ago to get a p5q-dx n see
its much easier to overclock a quad 45nm with it
and yes dfi way behind in bios with this board

How would I Change out the cooling on that board with all the heatpipes...
Seems to me the DFI should clock better under water and Asus with passive crap cooling. Or is this board really that crappy? I already bought a universal MCP NB cooler, so that another $50 loss I have to take using a board I can't change the cooler on. Is there a way to replace teh cooler on the Vregs? If so I could maybe buy that part or something I guess. Can't belive my clocks on wate rare so ty with intel vs AMDs in the past ESP after all the hype. For the money and time reformatting and setting up all my crazy aps and servers it will cost me to change MB, I almost feel like just keeping what I have and waiting a few years until something better comes along (if it takes that long)...

Oh yea and has anyone got EVEREST running? It Shuts my PC off when I launch it I did find this thread so I will try later tongiht.

Shoudl I quit using everest anyone else using everest?

the 7/25 bios did the same thing to me. I stopped use their batch file and flashed it manually and haven't had a problem since... OH DFI doesn't warranty beta bioses so my suggestion to you is buy a new bios chip and you can hot flash the old chip to get it working again and you'll have a backup bios chip. I got my replacement chip here

so stick to 3.4-3.6 its way faster than anything amd has
i'm ok @ 4.335 1.28v for 24/7
gaming @ 4.6 1.38v on my ut p35

dont bother with biosman 27$ for a chip
get chips from biosdepot on ebay its much cheaper lol 10$

[Sumanji]

Sorry I'm going to be uber lazy and not read through all 92 pages of this thread

I'm considering a build with a Q9550/9650 (if Core i7 is either too expensive or not amazing enough). Would this board be a nice stable model to get a Yorky up to 4GHz?

Layout is near perfect and I looooove DFI

Cheers,

I've used them in the past for other motherboards and they've done a good job, so I have no problem buying from them.

ive used biosdepot for 5+years
i guess you rather pay 27$ instead of 10$

I finally got around to installing my LT x48-t2r and I get nothing, no fans, no power nothing. I do get the standby LED though! but the power button and power sw jumpers get no response. Tried diff CPU & RAM, bought new PSU, tried with/without vga card (4870 X2) but nothing won't give me any signs of life besides that standby LED. Tried insulating board from standoffs using antistatic bag (horizontal mounting) and still same thing. Also tried tightening/loosening mounts on cpu & nb to no avail... So annoying as no retailer in western australia carries these on the shelf so I have to order and wait til Monday

[BeastNotro]

Clear CMOs and take Battery out .. turn PSU off ... unplug PSU .. do this all at sametime and then push the power button in a few times.... then put battery back in switch Cmos jumper back .. plug PSU back and see if that works.

Aslo just try one ramm stick for now and find out what slots are the first ones to fill first.

If no go.. try it out of the CASE.

Thanks for the suggestions, but alas I tried all of that. My case isn't so much a case as a home-made benching station, with no metal except the standoffs, but I covered them just in case.

its a bit finniky with 45nm cpu
take cpu out n reseat

I have had some chips (admittedly all dual core) that need strange GTL settings to get them to run when they are new but later change to relatively normal GTL's as the CPU burns in. Now I'm not exactly saying go murder your chip but rather give it some physical. If I had your chip I would try giving it some voltage a bit of heat & some hard work for a good 1~2 weeks & see if it settles if all else has failed.

reseated many times and tried an E4300 as well, no dice. I think I found a broken trace near the chipset, hairline split. I'll have to try RMA.

Since it usually gets here next business day because I live so close I have no problem with that. biosdepot is in Ca and stuff from there takes 2-3 days to get here that's extra down time I don't need.

i couldn't get my 9550 to 4 the 9650 maybe. its a good board for sure.

If you just want highest oc, P45 may be better choice as they seem to yeild better oc's

i ordered 2 chips from biosdepot a week after i got the board lol i dont like waitin

hey gys,
decided to move my crucials to use with my i45 board. so im looking for a 2x2gb kit of 1066+ ddr2 ram for my ltx48
any opinions on some proven sets that work well with this board? or x48 chipset

-found these-

opinions?

[Rattle]

I just ordered one of these, hope it rocks

get the mushkin in my sig, it is just as good as that ocz, and ocz is usually crap so i wouldnt buy it even if it was cheaper
