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

[cstkl1]

I'm not a pro, more the noobish type.

Can you guys explain a fellow user how to get the RAM running at its rated speed of 1600 mhz on this board?

if ure running at stock clock for cpu

just leave ure qpi etc all on auto
and up ure dram to 1598mhz
change ure dram voltage to rated voltage and try 1.36v vtt as starting point

[chispy]

Anyone cares to help a fellow user ??? im at lost and i need help , its not the first time for me with DFI Boards but this is getting on my last nerve. Im so frustrated it still multi 24 max selectable with my i7 965 even i downgraded bios. Perhaps its me not the bios. Eventhought its not my first DFI Board i feel like a noobie again lol , can you guys show me or direct me exactly where you change the multi on your board ? i will take a pic and i will post back for you to see if its me setting something wrong in the bios :/. If this does not work i am going back to Asus RIIE asap and selling this board asap. help please im going nuts trying to figure this out. Please help , any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated , thanks in advanced.

Im on MSN Messenger right now with a couple of friends and they all have this problem trying to change to a high multi its impposible
Time to sell the board . Out of here.

Hi Chispy,

No multi over 24 as of now but that might change with upcoming BIOS's. Still on a SS you should do 200 * 24 and even more if you dare volt it, so what is the problem? Can recommend both BIOS 0227 and 0318, especially the latter if memory is of importance for you. My first DFI board and I’m loving it; Clocks very good, rock stable and no hanky panky...

Hiya rob , long time i have not post here , thanks for the reply , i really appreciate your help. Look at this benchies from hwbot from a month ago and todays bench , voila 29 and 31 multiplier , but how do i make my 965 run over 24 ?? , i guess theres a beta or moded Bios floating around most likely , or theres a hidden option lol, i have a case open with DFI about this subject and have escalated to the engineers , so i will let you know the outcome ok.


Look here bro

Multi x29 here

Multi x31 here






By chispy at 2009-04-21





Both the same board as ours , one was in February and one was today

[chispy]

Rob here bro , DFI sent me some technical documents and a guide how to select unlocked multipliers on i7 965 , read the documentation so that you can understand. heres my test on x29 Multi done a few minutes ago


DFI tech email with explanation and tech documents sen to me :



Finally all the multis on my i7 965 are available thanks to Ken wong DFI Taiwan who sent me some technical documents and he showed me how to change multipliers

Hi Robert,



Please refer to the following capture to download the system BIOS setting guideline in "Technical Doc." that the CPU multiplier setting olease see page 1,2 and 6.

please see the BIOS setting as below that the CPU multiplier set to 26X for example.



PPM function : Enable

The turbo mode function : Enable

1 core Max. turbo Ratio : 26X

2 core Max. turbo Ratio : 26X

3 core Max. turbo Ratio : 26X

4 core Max. turbo Ratio : 26X

[rusty]

decided to let you guys know about dfi's "excellent warranty" I've got this letter today from dfi :"Dear Customer;

sorry to tell you that your mother board suffered physical damage. Please refer to the attached image. It is caused by a short circuit or overheat near the PWM area.

This kind of damage is not covered by our standard RMA warranty service. The mother board will be returned to you AS IS. I’m sorry about this matter."

This is the image they've sent me


I won't ever buy dfi just because of that rather buy evga that has a real warranty.

[ecidious]

Evga won't cover physical damage either, so your only hope is that they have different standards for determining physical damage.

before I had to send one 280gtx which was damaged I think it overheated somehow and I got a replacement from them.

[raptord]

what is the latest BIOS (beta bios) for UT X58? where Can I get it?

[eva2000]

chispy, glad you got it sorted out

rusty, sorry to hear about your experience but i think all manufacturers won't cover physical damage though

raptord, latest official /beta is 2/27 bios. Latest pre-public beta is 3/18 at http://i4memory.com/f80/i7-920-d0-df...17/#post110970

My first post here, too bad it's about a error.

I have:
DFI Jr X58-T3H6
i7 920
Kingston KVR1333D3N9K3/6G (valueram 1333 3x2Gb)
Evga Nvidia 285
WD 150GB velociraptor
Samsung 2x F1 1TB
Samsung dvd-burner
Zalman 850watt

Logitech Ilimunated keyboard
Razor Deathadder

When I boot, I get error 94 on the diagnostic leds. After a few restarts the systeem boots normal and I can just use it all day.

http://www.phoenix.com/NR/rdonlyres/...0/postcode.pdf

Memtest: 3x pass
WD hdd tool: pass
Samsung hdd tool: pass
OCCT 60mins PSU test: pass


I can't really understand where the problem comes from (it wasn't there when I build the system 2 months ago). Anyone seen the problem or a good idea where the fault is?
Going to try to update the bios next, but i don't think that will solve the problem. But I can always try.

try a different keyboard/mouse if they're USB type. cstkl1 reported on his DFI UT X58 some strange issues when using a particular USB keyboard


Also guys, new discoveries - well for me thanks to cstkl1, play with tRRD subtiming http://i4memory.com/f80/dfi-ut-x58-t...cussion-16970/

I have read on the DFI forum that removing the heatpipe system is a bad idea. I would like to either:

1.Remove the entire heatpipe and put waterblocks on nb and pwm and a heatsink on sb

2. Just remove the nb cooler and put a waterblock on it instead

Has anyone removed the heatpipe system, without breaking the board?

Watercooling the cpu was easy but removing the heatpipe system might be a totally different thing and don't wanna break my board.

[Russ_64]

@Woffen - I am about to do the same ^^^

I removed a similar HP on my 790FXB AMD board and replaced it no problem but I also read that on X58 forum - maybe they didn't tighten it properly (I always tighten it as hard as possible) ?

What NB block are you going to use (I am still undecided but favouring EK S-MAX as I use 1/2" and have EK Supreme LT already) ?

Honestly, there's no need to remove heatpipe system - it does fairly well once you put a fan over NB and PWM area - any air flow at all helps tremendously. You can H20 cool the NB by removing just the NB block leaving heatpipe system intact

[woffen]

I'm also leaning towards a EK S-Max. If I would go for the PWM as well I would go for the MIPS blocks.

I would like to skip the need for a fan on there. I've read that the possible waterblock on the NB in itself helps reduce the PWM temp as well but some say not enough. Guess I will just have to try and find out. Keep putting this off as I can't decide what to do

[Russ_64]

I would in anycase like to replace the goop under the NB with MX-2 but leave the PWM heatads intact .................

PS - I think the HP principle is that if NB is cooler than PWM it draws heat down to NB block .........

[Praz]

The issue with the heatpipe assembly is proper installation once removed. If correct contact isn't made there is only a matter of seconds to pull the plug once the board is powered up. If a slave chip shorts out or overheats because of heatsink installation it will almost certainly damage the board beyond repair.

As Eva has already posted and his screenshots show, there really is no need to remove the heatpipe assembly considering the risks.

[eva2000]

Yeah risky business playing with the heatpipe system hehe. I just moved to water cooling on cpu side only keeping stock heatpipe system intact but with 120x25mm 81cfm fan over NB and PWM areas http://i4memory.com/f22/ek-supreme-l...8-t3eh8-17002/

[loonym]

My first board smoked a mosfet, one of the ones up near the 24 pin. I gave them a CC# to do a cross ship and they sent me back a very poor used board with bent and broken socket pins. Now I've been waiting a month since they took delivery of the return of that board for the replacement.

[jcool]

chispy, you just set the desired multiplier via the turbo menu
Works perfectly fine for me, only thing that doesn't work is setting different mults for different turbo modes (like higher mult for 1x turbo)

[eva2000]

Yeah chispy figured it out http://i4memory.com/f80/dfi-lp-ut-x5...7-965-a-16905/

Very nice mate, 4.3 is looking good for the Lanparty competition

[OverDozeD]

guys what about new beta BIOS?
Im still on 17/02 issue. is it worth to update or wait for final version?
