Thanks Grinch. Just waiting on a few more parts to come from the US and I'll be posting as soon as I can

I am about to get my system together and start playing with this board; from everything I read it sounds like I should leave all the jumpers alone (CPU_VTT and CPU FSB in particular). Can someone confirm that? And if everyone leaves them alone, what exactly are they for?

Also, I noticed that the 2/17 bios was officially released (today?). Should I go strait to 217 or stick with 114 for now?

Question for MEM-gurus

Everest is reporting some very high MEM, L1 and L2 performance, which it is too good to be true.

Everest has been reporting "sane"-values most av the times, but somehow it is reporting some "insanely high"-values in some BCLK/multi. I tested the system with memtest right after the benchmark to see if there is something wrong, but it is passing. And everything else seams to be working fine, no symptoms for bug. Somehow Everest see much higher "CPU FSB" and "Memory bus speed" in some specific multi/BCLK-combinations(but not all of them)



Could somebody explain the reason for this?

[rusty]

Ok folks just finished testing beta 2/27. My oc doesn't work with 2/17 and 2/27 however 1/14 bios works just fine.

What is the cause for 94 post code?
Im trying to run my 295 with my 24/7 overclock(+15h prime stable), but i cant load windows, and 94 appear in the post code display. No problems with stock settings and 295, and oc worked perfect with my 4870 1gb. Any idea?

[OUTSIDE]

argh!

My Core i7 is a crap! I can't pass over 4.2GHz! (200x20 + Turbo 200x21)!!!

Any ideas?

Thx!

ByE!

are you fing kidding me ? I can't even get 4.0 stable and you complain about 4.2 should be happy with this chip. For people to give some ideas you'd need to post your specs at least.

[cstkl1]

is there something wrong with prime95 25.9
cause always has inconsistency

prime95 25.8 np.

see grinch!

210x20 (+ Turbo, 210x21) with 1.475v!

And I... I putt 1.6v and nothing! XD

I touched all the settings and nothing...

Thx!

ByE!

[cstkl1]

hmm found out the reason
apparently its because of 1N setting

eva i can run prime stable for the gt at chn interleave 6, rank interleave 4 2N
memtesthci/memtest 86 1N no issue but prime is no go..

any suggestion??
rank interleave and chan interleave settings?? for 1n??
or is there some other settings??

also the 1n setting prime95 25.8 pass
but fails in for prime95 25.9

Hi...is there somebody could help me with this kind of trouble...
I'm using i7 920 right now (S**K batch 3836B037)

When I'm using Biostar T-Power X58 I could make my procie run @ 3,8ghz BCLK 200x19 and RAM @ 1600 8-7-6-15 trfc 60 Uncore 3200
with vcore 1,312v (LOAD), vdimm 1,62v, vtt/qpi 1,34v
But now with my DFI UT X58 I can't run at that speed anymore coz I'd always had randomized BSOD and restart itself when I test with Prime95...
with the same setting or even I pushed my voltage more than that, but I still having that problem...

Please somebody help me...

Grinch's setup has nothing to do with your setup. Once again don't get nuts and post all of your system specs and bios settings that you use and not just vcore itself.

[rusty]

Need some help guys with oc for some reason can't push beyond 3.8ghz

hi all,

I rma'd a ut-58-t3h8 recently because some wierd issues. When i connected a 120mm low rpm ledfan to the NB fanheader and have the bernsteinaudiomodule connected. The fan kept spinning after i turned off my computer. Yesterday i got a brand new board and i was verry happy about it... till i saw the exect same NB fan issue as my previous board. What can i do???? the board where both the same revision i think r58. the issue isn't there when i remove the bernsteinmodule. I have a video(mp4) so you can see my problem.....

thanx in advance.

this is the link of the video!!!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7FxKi3GL24

[cstkl1]

sjakie666..
interesting..
which one is the fan header.
is the one near to the nb heatsink or the one to the pciex 1
i have a pump connected to the pciex1 and a nmb delta fan to the one near the nb heatsink..
no probs with them.. i guess u tried other fans??. since its weird and all..

[ChaosAD]

Anyone in here has used both DFI and eVGA x58 boards. I am about to get one to play a little since the confidential has a long road to reach Greek market. Do u have any recommendations on which is a better board. I know that this is a DFI thread but i hope that you will reply to me honestly

[sjakie666]

the one just above the pciE 16x next to the floppy power connector....
first i used a 80mm fan but it needs more volts to start turning so u only saw him trying to start. with this low rpm fan it just goes on and on and on....
and it only happens when my audiomodule is connected. even wierder is when i pull out the floppy power connecter the fan turns FASTER.
i'm lost..... i think im gonna buy me a GB or rex2

[Dami3n]

Anyone with a gtx295? Im tired of 94 post code when i try to run my oc(works perfect with 4870 1gb), and i can´t find any reference to this in the manual.

Did you try setting lowgap to 2176 or higher? How's your power draw? I know my gtx295 and 920 processor pull around 425watts on stock settings under full load (prime95 blend) not to mention any graphics loads will put it even higher.

Good luck
-=Mark=-
ps. try with no OC for a quick test if lowgap doesn't work.

my multiplier 21 drops to 20 under load even though vista set to high performance ? is there a way to make it stay at 21 ?
