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

[hadji_a]

I have a problem getting the 21 multi to work in win7 7100 x64. I have eist and turbo enabled in the bios (4/28) but only seem to get 12 multi (as shown in cpuz and confirmed by results from various benches) within windows. Power plan is set to high performance (min and max are set to 100%). I have no problem using 21 multi in both xp and 2k8.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

A few of us are discussing same experience with win7 at http://i4memory.com/f80/windows-7-df...8-t3eh8-17336/, some findings are VID Special Add set to AUTO fixes it (although i didn't have problems with it set to disabled) and also that cpuz is incorrectly reporting lower multipliers when turbo 21x multi is enabled - as my benchmarks are all showing results reflective of 21x being in place even if cpuz fluctuates for me between 5x, 8x, 12x, 15x, 17x, 18x, 20x and 21x in windows 7

Proof that cpuz reported cpu multiplier fluctuations in Windows 7 is cpuz related as both realtemp 3.20RC4 and coretemp 0.99.5 reported right 21x multi all the time

Fluctuating

Thx for the heads up eva! I have taken a look at the thread over at i4memory and tried all of the suggestions but unfortunately I am stuck at 12. I have also given i7turbo tool a go that unclewebb (thx!) has suggested and the multi is not changing at all . My windows setup is an upgrade from a previous beta (this may be the culprit?). I have also tried the 5/8 bios and still no change on the multi issue. Overclock wise I am stable at 21x191 with ram (ocz blade) at 950 (7-7-7-18 4-way/4-way) same as the 4/28 bios.

[eva2000]

not much difference atm.
seems to be the same for the rams

2180mhz CL7 stable.. thats mad.

I'm at 2160 7-8-7-20 stable with 4/28 hehe

strange indeed.. - is this win7 32bit or 64bit ?

[hadji_a]

x64. The upgrade was from 7068.

Same me
Then I change to xp

I suspect it's just cpuz misreporting - try with VID Special Add left at AUTO instead of disabled... no problems for me in terms of end result performance

Hey guys got back to DFI since UT-X48-T3RS.

Beta BIOS of 0805 is out anybody tried?

BTW my PWM area temp is getting ultra high...72C @ idle...maybe RMA time?...

[eva2000]

nice... win7 is really nice

yet to try 05/08 beta bios yet

Please tell me about vid special add and vtt special add
Why it red mark
Is it save for 24/7

[Praz]

Same here with Win7 RC. Performance, temps and current draw indicate the multiplier is indeed 21x.

Core Temp was reporting me at 12 mult as well. Not to mention my SuperPi runs slowed way down which could only lead me to believe I was at 12 mult. My boot screen on the other hand showed me at 21 mult. Weird thing was I finally got it to stick after I activated Windows 7 but soon screwed up again when I jacked the volts up to 1.4 and beyond. I finally gave up and went back to XP and Vista as this is too weird of a mystery.

Here I am with my i7 920 C0, the lanparty beast & Ocz Blade 2000Mhz CAS9.

Tried to go over 1850Mhz... but I've got some instability... crash and bsod.

Can someone post me some ram settings for 2000Mhz CAS9?

Bios 508.

Thanks!!

Need a really strong IMC to run high memory clocks with non-Elpida chips.

What VTT Voltage you're in?

[cstkl1]

u need to confirm ure vcore first with long runs of linx say 50 runs with lower ram frequency ..also u need to test it on cold boot , reboot etc.
atleast 3 times.

raising vtt will cause some instability with previously borderline vcore

only then u can confirm ure vdimm and vtt.
to confirm it best way is prime95 largefft custom 5.4gb

[johnp1983]

What VTT Voltage you're in?

Tried 1.25VTT with 1800Mhz CAS8-8-8-22 1.65v-mem

and it goes like heaven...

but a friend who have this main and Ocz Blade 2000 CAS7 say's that i need to set-up the VTT around 1.45 at least for the 2000Mhz.

I'm going to test it...

My T3EH8/920/6gb memory are scheduled for delivery on Thursday!

Changed my cooling (again, LOL) to Prolimatech Megahalems with 2x Scythe Slip Stream (1200 RPM) Push/Pull, and I can't believe what I'm seeing. This is running almost 10'C cooler than before.

Did some MEM-testing, just to make sure MEM-settings won't make any problem for priming, but somehow I'm getting higher scores than before (according to Everest anyways). 19xxxMB/s is not too shabby for my god old OCZ 1333MHZ CL7



For now, working on a stable @4.2GHZ setup for 24/7 on air, and it seams to be within reach on DFI LP UT X58-T3EH8 (If i can get the heat av this HOT D0-babe under the control tho).
