Start up screen The BIOS settings, The FSB/ voltage settings DDR2 debug option CPU Features DRAM reference settings: The one I use for the test is the Corsair Dominator modules. Voltage settings: CPU VID Special Add +12.5mV~787.5mV DRAM Voltage 1.800~3.375V SB Core/CPU PLL Voltage 1.510~2.380V NB COre Voltage 1.265~2.040V CPU VTT Voltage 1.211~1.601V Vcore Droop Control, CPU voltage dropping option This is something about the NB/VTT voltage settings to make quad core CPU OC much higher. In case, you want to reach the FSB to more than 450 ~ 500, you definitely can try to adjust the NB voltage to around 1.6 or 1.7V |
Here the CMOS Reloaded function, there are 4 different blanks for user to store their own OC settings. PC Health Status The testing environment CPU: INTEL Core 2 Duo E6300/Quad 9550 MB: DFI LANParty DK X48-T2RS DRAM: CORSAIR Dominator TWIN2X2048-8888C4DF VGA: GAINWARD BLISS 9800GTX 512MB HD: Seagate 7200.10 320G POWER: Corsair HX520W Modular Power Supply Cooler: Thermaltake Big Typhoon VP Quad core Q9550 C0 testing 440X8.5=>3739 MHz, 4 of Super PI 32M and get steady It’s a bit pity that this 45nm process Quad core CPU only can reach around 440~450 MHz, it can’t let DK X48 to release all the potential in FSB OC. It seems the 65nm CPU performs a little better than this one, it can reach 470~500MHz. Some folks might be doubt about whether the 4-phase digital PWM enough to supply the quad core CPU or not? I remember that much earlier some users were doubts about the same thing to P35 before. But in my experience, 16 Mosfet with a 4-phase digital PWM is really acting fine for a quad core CPU overclocking. Memory performance: DDR2 1200 CL5 5-5-15 1.96V Dual SP2004,Blend mode,2GB full loading and get steady. DDR2 1200 CL4 4-4-9 2.38V Dual SP2004, Blend mode, 2GB full loading and get steady. DDR2 1200, the best voltage setting of DK X48 is almost doing great with the on of P35. these are the good board though. Dual core 500/1200 CL4 4-4-9,Dual Super PI 32M steady. DDR2 1252 CL5 5-5-15 EVEREST, bandwidth testing. The high-end motherboard should match with the high-end VGA. Gainward latest BLISS 9800GTX, |
Default frequency 657/ 2200 3DMARK2003 3DMARK2005 3DMARK2006 9800GTx is really desert to be called the highest-end VGA card for the moment, it did a great job in all 3D MARK test. The summaries of DFI LANParty DK X48-T2RS The goods: 1.The package is keeping the style, price is also in around USD230 2.Still having the High end solid state capacitors, PCIe dual x16 bandwidth 3.Rich in overclocking BIOS settings and a wide range of voltage settings 4.The performance of Memory tweaking is real good, DDRII is still the high C/P ratio product in market. What a nice choice 5.The heat pipe is better than before The drawbacks: 1.If the CPU voltage setting can have a “descending” option will be better for OC 2.The exposure of the product is needed to be strengthen Performance ★★★★★★★★☆☆ Components ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ Layout design ★★★★★★★★☆☆ Cost/ performance ratio ★★★★★★★★☆☆ Since DFI launches DK series, this is the fourth one in this series. DK series products still keep the advantages of overclockability and high C/P ratio. There should be a place for such a series I think. Although, the components that incorporates in this series are not that “luxurious”, but the whole design of it is truly above the standard. For the moment, the highest-end chipset of Intel should be X48(although the news of X58 is linking…) The user who want a extreme performance but avoid to spend more than USD280~330, DFI LANParty DK X48-T2RS should be a nice choice for users. |
