Ste Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 I cannot think of any board that can overclock well by itself, stable anyways... Nice looking board though.. You are going to set everything manual, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verran Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 I'm curious to see if you do comparison tests with "hardcore tweaking". It'd be interesting to see if all the importance we put on manual settings and micro-management tweaking is really worth it in real world tests.

mknwatt Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Those are nice Thermalright heatsinks and appears the PWM cooling has improved. You can't argue with a board that runs default settings on an overclock as nice as that. I don't think the gain from "hardcore tweaking" will be seen in everyday use, maybe in benchmarks. Nice overclock! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaGUY Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 I always love the look of DFI boards and that is certainly one nice OC, with defaults on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praz Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 After beating up on boards all day it's a nice change to just fall into a good overclock. I doubt there would be much real world performance gain using non-auto settings. The strap setting might be the exception. Dropping down to the 266 strap would gain about 40MHz on the memory, which by itself wouldn't mean much, and would allow lowering the tRD. Might be able to knock 3ns or so off of the MCH latency. That would show the biggest impact. But to achieve that tRD might require a NB voltage that some would not be comfortable with for 24/7 use.

That would show the biggest impact. But to achieve that tRD might require a NB voltage that some would not be comfortable with for 24/7 use. Nice results and very well documented. I'm willing to bet with 1.5v nb and 1.54v fsb termination volts you can severly lower the vcore and maybe push it farther with the rest still on auto. Those are both perfectly safe voltages for 24/7, especially with that boards chipset cooling. 1.37+ seems high for 4ghz, but I can understand needing extra juice to compensate for the auto settings. The board may not like higher fsb without tweaking the GTL refrences, but it may be worth a try... My X38 maximus gets flakey around 460x9 on auto settings. I can understand not wanting to play with it more after tweaking other systems all day though. Especially with all these extra fields available and the still learning community with 45nms there is no set of rules to follow, just need to test and tweak many times. Just curious, what temps are you hitting with 1.376v and 4ghz? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mknwatt Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) Isn't the high fsb vtt killing the 45nm's. I read a few posts where people are saying the high voltage degrades or kills the processor. I've been conservative so far on the voltages....scared I'll fry my E8500. Edited May 15, 2008 by mknwatt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branjo Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Yeah I had read that too, they warned against raising the vtt to high cause they fried the CPU, was it a Q9 or E84 im not sure. A well put together review Praz, they still make an awesome board no denying that. BIOS is still crazy with options, not like the large print dick and jane BIOS of the gigabytes..lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
