DFI LP UT X58-T3EH8 - First bench, bios screens etc

I think the memory setting options need to be better defined. Something showing the result of Memory speed better, or actual multiplier values like 8, 10, 12 etc instead of 1333 1600 etc. It's so easy to set the memory & uncore beyond specs resulting in failure to boot.

Honestly after a day or so i probably got conditioned to seeing 1067 = 8x, 1333 = 10x, 1600 = 12, 1866 = 14x, 2133 = 16 so didn't think of it as a problem. And as per my notes at http://i4memory.com/102537-post3.html

DFI UT X58-T3EH8 bios automatically scales UNCORE frequency in bios by a ratio of 2:1 as you increase your DRAM memory frequency in bios. For example, set DRAM memory frequency at DDR3-1067Mhz and bios automatically moves UNCORE frequency to DDR3-2133Mhz. You can move the DRAM frequency down again and it will keep UNCORE frequency as previously set if you want to try UNCORE frequency greater than 2:1 ratio t DRAM memory frequency.

That request was submitted already. The 2:10 ratio (1333) is borked on the 12/31 BIOS. Oskar is working on it, you have to nuke the voltages to get stability with it at this point.

thanks for the info didn't check on 12/31 but it was fine on 12/18 heh

looking great so far eva have you done any stability testing higher than 4ghz or are the temps too high for your liking?

temps too high considering prime95 at 4ghz 1.328v is around in 73-83C regions. I think rock stable 24/7 for me will be around 3.8ghz 1.232v air cooled.

I have a question: can you orient the "Flame Freezer" (external attachment to the SB/NB/PWM heatpipe system) up and down or just up?

up and down but for desk top horizontal bench rig would look strange hehe

nice board indeed, does this DFI could be stable with 4ghz & all dimms occupied?

haven't tested as i don't have that many modules as 4 of my 6 gskill hz are d9jnm and 2 are samsung hcf0. Until I have more memory samples from ram manufacturers I won't be able to test such configs heh

What can you say about Bernstein audio module?

not much use for it yet and asking the wrong person for audio know-how. I still use $10 head phones and $20 speakers with my pcs (all with onboard sound) and couldn't tell difference between quality sound and normal haha

Next up on the tables
