DFI UT X58-T3EH8 continued - Part 2

[jcool]

Keep playing with VTT/Vdimm settings or maybe use another dram divider. Does the bios show all 6 GB?
Not using Vista 32bit, are you?

I think the bios shows all 4.. NOT sure where to check.

and I'm also not sure what VTT/Vdimm is. voltages for ram? please help me, thanks. ( i know i sound like a complete idiot but this mobo is hard to work )

Simply check with cpuz if they works

Vtt is the qpi voltage. Vdimm is memory voltage, maybe you should set them in a better way

[jcool]

No, VTT is the CPU's VTT voltage. Some mobo manufacturers just call it QPI voltage, but it is VTT, nothing else. DFI also calls it that in bios.

My current Memory voltage is 1.65v - What it says to set it as on the box =\
my rams are G.Skill Trident 3x2gb kit, DDR3 2000.. 9 9 9 24.

Thanks for all the help guys!

i7 processor is rated for 1066Mhz and 1333mhz DDR3 speeds.

Anything above that is NOT guaranteed, not even with memory that is rated DDR3-2000.

Anything above 1333mhz is acquired trough upping VTT and DRAM-voltages to a certain level. Each varying processor to processor.

problem: This means that NOT every processor is going to be able to run DDR3-2000 within "safe" voltages. But this is the overclockers trademark.



(BTW: Has anyone noticed that his 1.35VTT stuff is being so strictly followed, while we used to pump vCore and other "unsafe" volts trough our hardware like there was no tomorrow?)

Ah would you recommend me running the rams at 1600mhz instead, I finally got it to work at 2000mhz, but then again. i want my system to use all 6gb, not leave me with 2gb..

Current voltages 1.3125 cpu
1.710 Rams
145 v ( something else i cant remember, it had to do with cpu lol )

3.33ghz cpu
1994 ghz rams

Stupid tweaking. takes forever.. I just want my system to run its absolute best, is that so much.

Hey, tweaking is what overclocking is about! Just relax and try to push it further, it's not so bad after all.
Or take a break and run it with safe settings for now.

Lol every 5 minutes theres a reply

Okay, I decided to ignore the Ram readings, 2gb vista reads, its vista's problem. I'm going to upgrade to win7 anyways.

I decided to leave my rams at 2000mhz, it's much faster like that anyways.

Stupid vista... ( i did update bios to latest version )

When the f does win7 come out.. I hate vista!!

1 more question : DDR2 memory on my old motherboard used voltages at 2.2V, why does ddr3 take less?

Yeah.

He doesn't seem to get it


Vista sees only 2GB because your motherboard only offers 2GB.
Your board only offers 2GB becuz you're CPU's memory controller only sees 2GB.
Your CPU's memory controller only sees 2GB becuz you're running it too fast at too low volts.

Get it?
It's not Vista's fault.
It's just your CPU that can't run at the settings you want at the volts you're putting in it.

So basicly, it's your fault.

Thanks for making me feel like S***! I hate you!!! - But thanks I'll look into that.

Okay back to topic - I was running 3ghz with 1.29v.. Is that not enough??

Since my memory is suppose to be 9 9 9 24, is it okay if it like make it lower if i make my rams run at 1333, or 1600 ?

Man, listen to me, isn't a vcore problem but a VTT problem, understood? simply increase it

[stevensl2]

what is VTT?

What would it be called in the bios

Is it CPU or Memory volt?

[jcool]

VTT is called VTT in bios, for the last time.
It defaults at 1,21V IIRC. Set that to 1,37-1,39V like I said 10 posts or so earlier.
It's a voltage concerning the area of the CPU where the L3 cache and IMC are located.

Nope, vtt is vtt it's called "CPU VTT Voltage"

Uhmm.. um... err... ( Damn I'm a Tart ) ( pop tart that is )

I understood maybe 10% of what you wrote =\

In the bios i see many VTT's and its so complicated ! Im so sorry, don't beat me to death! ITS NOT MY FAULT IM NOT AS SMART AS YOU GUYS! STOP NO NO NOOOOOO!!!

[stevensl2]

Guys, Its finally working, I did what the guy told me to do, but I also moved EVERY voltage up until the red area ( danger zone i guess ) and i boot up and guess what? YES! WORKS F YEEAH!

2000mhz 9 9 9 24 6gb total
WEEEE
WEEEEEEEEE

3.33ghz 1.298v

I LOVE YOU PEOPLe

oh btw

When I go into firefox it never remembers my passwords, i went into options and made sure NOTHING is wrong. firefox sucks.

[Infa]

Yeah every browser has it ups and downs, Firefox might be a bit faster, but Ie8 has become a very good browser IMO.

the 8 version is much improwed and are (for me) a fast and reliable browser, in win 7 it has or VERY little failed for me in fact, all plugins are working plug and play etc.

and no, you should not keep every voltage at the red zone..

you should do as the people tell you . ... do this instead, now lower the voltage one by one. to safe area , then when it fails you know what and when.

cpu voltage,dimm voltage and vtt are mostly those you want to change most and tune... and that frequency on the cpu, you should not have to raise volages so much...
put those on auto, and concern about the vtt instead, and keep 0.5 range for VTT and dimm voltage.

[sjakie666]

uhhh how high did you put it? 1.5-1.6? that's near the red zone and also a bit on the high side......

1.3-1.4 vvt is consinderd the "safe" side for 24/7 use.

So keep in mind that ur pushing it :P

good luck

vtt? as in the cpu voltage for overclocking? mine is at 1.29

[sjakie666]

go 2 http://i4memory.com/f80/dfi-lanparty...n-guide-12855/ and read the whole thread .

Then you'll understand the basics of overclocking this board,memory and cpu. (thnx 2 eva2000)

[Peen]

vtt? as in the cpu voltage for overclocking? mine is at 1.29

1.29 isnt in the red zone, thought u said it was in the red.

Be careful pushing stuff in the red especially if you don't have good cooling

you really need to read up on this before you fry a $300 board or $300 CPU

I said I pushed everything up and stopped RIGHT before it's red, but of course i forgot to mention that cpu is the only thing i know how to OC xD
