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

[eva2000]

btw eva
to pass linx i had to pump more nb voltage compared to what was require for memtest hci 1000% and prime

interesting thanks for that info

I should have this board set up by the weekend along with the rest of the system, and hopefully will be able to post some figures and help out if maybe

Congrats and welcome to DFI X58 family

no problem

btw...my batch is: 3839A628

my batch : 3836A594

definitely 3836A are sweet batches!

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?

-sfxs

just leave the jumpers alone you don't need to touch them... no idea why they exist though.

You mean 2/27 ? Haven't tried 2/27 and I skipped 1/14 but might go back to that bios to see how my Corsair Dominator GT 2000Mhz 7-8-7-20 and Kingston T1 HyperX 2000Mhz 8-8-8-24 kits do.

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?

had that happen to me once with 35k read in everest LOL, just everest being buggy i guess heh

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.

interesting, haven't tried 2/27 but one 2/17 right now and not getting much head way in oc'ing Corsair Dominator GTs, so might try 1/14 again and see.

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?

no idea, but as mentioned tri lowgap of 2176-2560 and see.

is there something wrong with prime95 25.9
cause always has inconsistency

prime95 25.8 np.

no problem here but is that with small ffts or blend or both ? 32bit or 64bit OS with 32bit or 64bit prime95 ?

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

i just leave interleaves on AUTO... i think it comes down to individual i7 cpu and individual kit of memory as to what it's 1T vs 2T max. Weird about different versions of prime95 though

tried on different bios version ?

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

tried a different fan ?

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

Jody/3oh6 has both boards and he likes them both - i think for x58 boards DFI and EVGA are current leaders in terms of max bclk and memory clocks.

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 ?

set vr limit max = enabled as per info at http://i4memory.com/102537-post3.html

[cstkl1]

i love this mobo.
its just so easy.
ut already sold out in malaysia in the first 2-3 days.

dfi has definitely made a comeback with this one.
eva yup i think ure right but weird right
for vdimm examaple bclk 201 ram 1004 7-8-7-20 1T will pass memtesthci this time did up to 2000% percent thats 10 hours on bench rig,
heck was gaming with it for hours np
memtest86+ did 8 passes on vdim 1.638 dmm,bios read 1.64, set 1.665. but will fail prime and linx. down it to 200 bclk ram 1000mhz 7-8-7-20 2T passes everything..
tested on all the feb bioses.

still think its a subtiming issue or the rank issue.
the r2e had a option for 1N issue.. forgot what is called but tweaking it made the difference

hmm rusty before u clock try this ok
this is the best way to clock i7's x58 mobos with superstable settings. its just so damn easy.
u need to eliminate each voltages first before u go to find the next.

first find the vcore. try this reasoning first
Vcore
ure base uncore is 2400 and with vtt 1.2v. then look at ure dram most of the dram ic's are rated 1333mhz etc
so y not try a low multi with ht on/off say 18, dram 1200mhz bclk 200, uncore 2400, vtt set 1.23, dram set 1.53, dram timing 9-9-9-24 2T tRFC 88 ( depending on ure ram or go 10-10-10-24 2T,) set a vcore and run linx or ibt full mem stress.. make sure u use up atleast 95% of ure mem available. for 3gb try 2.5gb(10-20rounds) stress and 6gb around 5.2gb stress ( 5-10rounds).
take note i7 voltage is very heat dependent so the better ure cooling the lower ure voltages.. dont ak me why.
example i can pass 3 rounds of at 4.2ghz ht 0ff at 1.32v but to pass 10 i need around 1.37v..
u can lower this later once u have found ure vtt,dram voltages.

VTT
ok say once u found ure vcore example 3.8ghz bclk 200 . so say example for most ppl out there using ram at dram 1600mhz CL8.
up ure dram to 1600, uncore 3200, set ure dram at relax timings first example 9-9-9-24 2T tRFC 88. vdimm at 1.65v, vtt 1.36, ioh/ich 1.15
this time run memtest hci. for 3gb say around 2000% around 2 hours and 6gb around 300 % around 2 hours.try to stress the cores and ram wit this if ure runing with ht so run 8xmemtest hci with equal amount so ure mem usage atleast 95%. very easy to find the vtt.
reboot issue, hang, just up ure vtt. errors are usually vdimm and timings. ioh voltage sometimes errors and also u can see ure usb devices acting weird.

VDIMM and Memtimings
CHange ure vdimm to either set 1.65/1.665v with the rated timings.
FOr me currently running prime95 25.9 64bit blend. IF u can pass the first group of 15 mins.. ure good to go. Errors in the this first group of test the 1024kb is vdimm, mem timings related. bsod/hang.. 1n/2n and vtt related.
double check with memtest hci and memtest + to be sure.


try this way rusty cause showing a template.. everybody has to guess on what u have a confirmed voltage and etc etc and guess whats not stable.

hope this helps.
doing it this way u eliminate each voltages
and also u will know which voltage is insufficient for the problem that occurs etc.

after than if linx is not the vcore that u want.. hey try others like prime etc and lower the voltages to what is acceptable and stable for u.

btw cpu setting disable everything except executable bits.. ht on/off up to u. ppm disabled also.

when ure done with the above run linx/ibt again.. take note because of the increase in vtt .. ure proc temps and system temps will go up

thanks eva2000 & cstkl1
I will try that
p.s. has anyone experienced this multiplier 22 ?

The 22x multiplier appears for single core tasks only, that's why you rarely see it.

I tried with 2176-2560 and nothing. Sometimes even with stock settings i can´t load windows. I need to enter bios, save and exit(don´t need to change nothing), and works perfect.
This board is killing my patience

[mrsean]

Have you tried asking Zotac or Nvidia for help or posted on the DFI Club Forum yet? There has to be hundreds of folks out of there with a x58 board and a 295.

I will try with last bios, if don´t work, i´ll email dfi about the issue.

Edit:flashed with last bios but without success. Code 94 still appears with any kind of oc.

[sjakie666]

as i stated earlier.. i have problems with a fan still spinning after i shut down my computer. i tried a other psu tonight and the issue is still there.. i even tried other electric points in my house! i'm lost.. anyone got more idea's???

thnx in advance

GTX 295 can't be the problem, it has been working fine with several different BIOS (including the first "out of box" BIOS, and the last beta) on my DFI UT X58.

[OUTSIDE]

how do you do to put the 22x on the i7 920?

Thx!

hmm try this
enter the lowest mem lowgap that is required for ure bios to detect ure full ram
should be 629xxxxx bytes.

i wished my board did that.

Please, could you post your bios settings?

[sjakie666]

lol maybe we can change boards.... i don't wanna change if it's rev 56/58 :S

[cstkl1]

lol maybe we can change boards.... i don't wanna change if it's rev 56/58 :S

that my friend is a problem unless ure in malaysia..
or singapore.

no idea on the revision other than it came with the feb 6 bios

[sjakie666]

hmzzzz..... dammit.. . i'm waiting for a replay of dfi. then i'll decide what to do with this board..

[OUTSIDE]

My patience is dead... really.

I put MAX Vcore and MAX VTT... the mems to the min of Mhz and... nothing, I can't get more than 4360MHz (207.6x21)...

I can't get 209 or 210. I put the mult. to 18, 19... but I can't pass of 209 of BCLK... what can I do?

I have it watercooled. The mems are the 3x2GB DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum OCZ 7-7-7-20 at 1600 1.65v.

I've tried with HT off but nothing... anybody helps me?

I've tried too all your BIOS configurations but... the systems doesn't boot up. When the Windows Booting Screen appears... it freezes and restarts.

Thx for all people!

ByE!

[Sam_oslo]

Please, could you post your bios settings?

GTX 295 has been working fine with several different BIOS-settings that i have tried and never had such a issues that you have. I had to save the BIOS (again) a few times, but it has always been due to hardware-changes (one time, even after installing a new fan ), but never related to GTX 295. I use this settings for 4.01GHZ (211x19) for 24/7:

Nothing. I tried 2048, 2176, 2560, and even 3072.
Cold boot(i always switch off psu in the night) with stock settings->code 94. I need to enter bios, save and exit, and all works.
Boot with oc settings->code 94. No matter what i do, after the first boot screen pc stops with f.....g code and black screen. I tried different settings, even 200x16, without success. Is annoying

I think my board won a travel to rma.

Hello all and nice to meet you here. Yesterday I bought this DFI and its paired with an 920 3842A and Adata 6Gb 2133X. Since i run with intel stock cooler atm, cause i wait for my new case, i made some mild oc tests to see what this baby can do. I must admit that this combo is really sensitive in voltage adjustements. But i have two questions atm: 1. Is it normal that DFI Led screen post FF while in normal operation under win? Thats what its supposed to show? 2. Currently testing 21x181, cpu 1.25v idle-1.22v load, VTT 1.26v idle/load, 1.55v dimm at 1800c9. Is it normal to need more vtt than vcore?

hope i am not quoting wrong but eva did mention something about vtt to vcore..

but generally dude.. x58 is pretty straight forward in eliminating voltages thats the cause of the problem. this mobo has very little flux and almost exact voltage which helps a lot in doing this.

try the few above post for suggestion.
cause question like this is so vague and ppl have to assume u found the right vcore for ure cpu speed, u found the right vdimm, etc etc etc before somebody comments on what vtt should be set.
unless u can be specific and mention that u already found the vcore with this test etc and the dram speed and timing etc etc..

nice rams again.

cause the general consensus is going to say the vtt is too low
but from what i have seen with eva and others posting.. every proc vtt voltage is a mystery.

btw mine also runs with ff posting
