DFI UT X58-T3EH8 continued - Part 2

[eva2000]

Anyone got any idea why it's doing this, think i've tried just about everything but maybe i'm missing something

Does same happen with only 6GB memory or non-raid SATA disk array ? Does it happen at lower cpu clocks i.e. 4Ghz or 4.2Ghz ?

[JustCallMeFrank]

Only problem I can think about is getting the x21 multiplier working with Windows 7. You might need to download Real Temp 3.30 or an application called ready boost to get it going right.

Otherwise, the board works fine for me

[merlin76]

Win7 multi issue is fixed with new beta BIOS 0724. I've checked with Win7 RTM.

[Juiced_IL]

so no dfi old diseases like ... "will not power up" , suddenly crushes , etc ... ?

[Sam_oslo]

Nope, no "will not power up" , suddenly crushes , etc , here. My setup has been running rock solid in several weeks now, but I'm keeping it at summer-OC @4GHZ(211x19) 1.15v 24/7 for now.

Even tho i didn't need/use x21 for now, but my only concern has been x21 multi, and it is working just fine with the new BIOS, now


The next fun will start at the autumn, with keeping this hot babe cool enough @4.4GHZ 24/7 on air-cooling

[Juiced_IL]

ok thank you

i just recently burned evga classified e760 and had no warrnty

so i looking for a solid mobo with great overclock potencial , features and tweakable bios ... so far DFI UT X58-T3EH8 answers to all of those.

i have great cpu ... I7 920 (batch 3849B203) that doing 4.7 on air and 5.2 on dry ice , great memory sticks ... mushkin redline 1600mhz cl6-7-6-18 and great air cooling ...Prolimatech Megahalem + panaflo 120X38 medium.
all is left is an awesome mobo

[Razer(x)]

Did somebody try the new bios? i'm havin' problems. they're the same as the 6/19 bios, but more evident. Can't get the cpu stable >3.6ghz and uncore >3000mhz

[ChaosMinionX]

I keep getting this thing where prime95 LargeFFT just turns off, like it restarts the computer with no BSOD, yet when I do the testing for core voltage, it doesnt reboot?

Any ideas guys?

[Factotum]

ChaosMinionX
Vcore?
Temp PWM?

[ChaosMinionX]

1.4375v on Vcore.... PWM temp is almost always under 60C

[ci2kla]

1.4375v on Vcore.... PWM temp is almost always under 60C

From my experiance this board is very sensitive especially the area where the volterra voltage regulator chip is located. I've tried once my finger accidentally touched the chip / resistors and it turn off immediately and turn back on like rebooting.

[Peen]

Does same happen with only 6GB memory or non-raid SATA disk array ? Does it happen at lower cpu clocks i.e. 4Ghz or 4.2Ghz ?

I could try it only 6gb to see what happens, only get about 1hr a day to play with it. It didn't do it at 4ghz but I will try 4.2ghz now...

I don't see why the raid would matter.

This is the first computer I have that will stress test stable but idle it BSOD's

[Razer(x)]

Bha, i'm gonna hate this mobo

[Garrett]

I don't have the UT but the DK version... finally got the 21x MP working under load
A real DFI board lol... you have to get to know it to let it work for you

[Sam_oslo]

New Toy coming soon! Corsair XMS3 1600C7 6GB Kit Ver 2.2 only cost $132

I can't find any test on these, but I'm hearing ver. 2.2 can make a big difference. Can you give some feedback on performance and OCing headroom of these sticks?

Any ideas guys?

any one else experience this kind of problems?

also , any one experience overclock crushes that couldn't be fixed by taking of the battery or restrating bios by jumper?
and the only solution was takin the powering of the PSU and disconecting the 24pin cable ... like in the old dfi boards ...

[Razer(x)]

So i'm the only one that can't get the pc stable with uncore >3000mhz?

When an OC fails real bad, you can now reset the bios to default settings with your reset and power buttons (or the ones on the board).

I've tried some crazy OC's but haven't resorted to pulling out the battery or using the jumper method..... yet....

[Razer(x)]

Ah, one question. Is there any option to save energy (C1E-Cstate) without losing stability?

[JustCallMeFrank]

Ah, one question. Is there any option to save energy (C1E-Cstate) without losing stability?

Yup, I have C1E enabled all the time, even when stressing to find a 24/7 OC Get the latest bios 07/24/2009 and the turbo multiplier (x21) issue has been resolved in Windows 7.

[Factotum]

do not use C1E - it's 100% crashing for idle. may be it dropped Vcore and x22 multiplier for a core
my settings 200*21 for save energy:

Thanks guys

@Factotum, 110% gaves me a too high vcore, what can i do? can i decrease it?

play with CPU VID Special Add:
but if set Vcore Droop Control: Disabled - receive Vcore without dropped

Ok i'm gonna try, just increasing the vcore and those 2 cpu settings from 3.8 to 4.2ghz the pc BSODs within 20 secs of Linx. I think i gotta change the vtt

[batmang]

I'm going to try the latest beta BIOS today but I do have a question about my setup. Specs are in my sig. I'm having a hard time getting 4.0GHz to be stable. I'm running 20x200, RAM at 1600, etc., basic 20x200 settings. For my setup to run Prime at all it requires 1.32vid and 1.32vtt. PLL I have at 1.85, everything else is default or auto. 4.0GHz shouldn't be difficult to get stable, suggestions?
