DFI Lanparty UT P45-T2RS Banter starts here!!!

[zsamz_]

My UD3P died yesterday and i came to this thread hoping for some quad results.... No such luck, well theres been some bad luck. Maybe i'll order 1 and try.

did it take your ram with it
man i wouldnt buy that board for 50$
i lost so many d9 on gigabut boards n so many gigabut board rmas
no more gigabut 4 me

Yes it took 8gb with it. My 1 day old 4gb 2x2 gskill 9600's (that the egg is back out of stock of) and 4gb of gskill 8800.

damn shame
well i lost 6 sets of ram to gigabut boards so ...
gonna be tough to get more of those

@ PolRoger I'm impressed very nice

Wishes he hadn't sold all his GKX now.

Ouch mate I feel for you there I'd be wild if that happened to me.

Edit: @ PolRoger forgot to mention the board overvolts the RAM slightly .05v on my DMM, also the Prime shot shows 48~56k try custom 4096 for an hour rather than small fft's that just test the CPU cache.

C-N: I have a DMM could you tell me where I could take a reading of the actual DIMM voltage? Do yo think the VTT and MCH/NB might be overvolting as well?

I've also been testing my Powerchip IC Reapers... using the same 333/800 divider and similar low voltages... so far I've managed 8.5x470 DDR2-1129
with my 4GB kit of PC2-8500 at 1.95v and 8x500 DDR2-1200 with my 2GB kit of PC2-9200 at 2.0v. VTT and MCH/NB were both at default.

DFI seems to have found a real sweet spot with the default voltages settings and the 333/800 divider but when you raise CPU vcore to get higher overclocks and then offset it with VTT/NB and GTLs... it becomes much harder to find that nice balance of stability.

Look at this post http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...35&postcount=1 or use the empty cap pad near the motherboard screw you cant quite fit because the heat pipe from the SB to NB runs over it.

I couldn't really answer for the rest of the voltages as I've not attempted to measure them. I wouldn't be too bothered if the VTT/NB voltage was 0.05v over though.

That'll be the PC2-8000 kit ?

And thats why you love it

C-N: Thanks for the link... I don't have the PC2-8000 kit just the 4GB Reaper kit of PC2-8500 and the 2GB Reaper kit of PC2-9200.

I dont think they are Powerchip.
