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

[deadman'sclick]

Hi all,

The thread is getting a little stale so I thought I'd try to get things going again .... who's with me???

I've re-vamped the first post to pool all the overclocking results together & add a few more links to BIOS's etc.

I've also added a couple of lets say "provocative" titles to a few of the result fields .... he he. No doubt a few of you have some hidden away results so get em up .... the gloves are off ... bring it, lol

im with u even tho i dont hav the board lol

I just bought 8Gb of G.Skill (F2-8500CL5D) I I can't get it to run on any setting other than auto. (If I set it for 266/1066 it won't post)
I got the voltage set on 2.11 and time on 5-5-5-15 and left the rest on auto and if I leave it in auto and bump the FSB up I can get it as high as 1001 but it can't complete Memtest86
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
FATBOY

Thanks man, its funny this board is great yet you cant find any examples of it flying anywhere on the net. Its like its top secret or something!!!!

WHERE DID ALL THE DIE HARD DFI'ERS GO!!!!

Have you been into windows @ 1000 or so & had a look at what the board is setting auto using memset? Perhaps tRFC is too tight or maybe even the performance level too low.

I also found adjusting the DRAM Skews & RCOMP models allowed me to boot 4 1gb sticks well over 1200mhz & 2.4v

I am sure I seen OCZ Tony running 8gb of something at a decent speed on either a P35,X38,X48 or P45 DFI (which all play about the same) have you has a search/google about for people running 8gb on one of these DFI's?

Some of us are still here............................................ come to think of it, never went away as far as i remember

Edit:I like the the racetrack idea C-N, reminds me of the old DFI Street 3g club. You have me down for 556 FSb, if you look at my 4.79ghz link, you will see the FSB at 563

So far this is my best score

[C-N]

Right now this is about as fast as I can get it stable..

Have you got the PI Blacks or the std G.Skills?

I think you are pumping too many volts to the ram, I would lower your vdimm down to at least manufacturers maximum 2.0 ~ 2.1v & I'm sure you'll find you can run even lower.

Do you need 8GB of ram? why not start with just 4 & see if you can get it stable then work on from there.

I would manually set your performance level back a click or 2 (back to 7 ~ 8) I would also expand the Memset timings tab by clicking on the arrow to the right of the letters "spd" so you can see what timings & PL the other bank are running too.

Depending on your ram I would also slacken the timings off till you get stable, try 5.5.5.18 or 5.6.6.18 tRFC 52 ~ 62 ish.

My 2x2 4GB kits of OCZ ram like the RCOMP, Skews & Fine delay step degree to be played with to get the best out of them but I think you need to find a few more mhz first before you need to worry about these.

My UT has been on the bench... but I think I'll put it back into rotation for a while.

Ok I'll start from the top.
Standard
I've lowered it sense I posted this and I've also got the CPU back to 3.7
No I don't "need" 8 but I bought it so I'm attempting to use it. (I plan on trying 2 sticks later)
I left the performance level to "auto" and that is what it turned out to be.
When I checked the other bank it matched the other one dead on.
I ordered a Q9650 today so I'm going to see what it will do as soon as it comes in. I've heard folks getting it to 4.2GHz on air...We'll have to wait and see.
