So no change in temps. That's good mudkip?

No , I expected the D0 to be cooler. Also it seems to overclock a bit higher but also not as I'd expect.

Which batch do you have btw?

Binge · May 7, 2009

It doesn't matter. Batches with i7s really have no reflection on performance. Nobody has gotten two chips that perform the same from the same batch. Why is this so hard to understand :confused:

::EDIT:: but since you asked 3849A916

Replaced my second DFI DK board today. I replaced it with the Asus Rampage 2 Gene and i have to say VERY well done to Asus, this thing is small and still a beast. I love everything about it. One complaint tho, but i guess it is each to there own. The temps on the NB seem alittle high, I am running at 53degC and I haven't changed anything in the BIOS yet (although I don't have any fans blowing on it).

Yeah, my DK has gone to that motherboard heaven in the sky, guess I will be waiting weeks for a replacement now, think I will sell it as new when it arrives and try either a Biostar or Gig UD4P, once bitten..... twice shy!

Seems DFI DKs have a lot of problems... hopefully that won't happen to the people I've built rigs for! Do you know is it's because of OCing or not?

I've been through several i7 boards, including a Biostar, DFI DK, Asus Gene, and now a Foxconn Blood Rage. I'd have to say that the Gene and Blood Rage are my favorites. I really wanted to like the DFI, since I love the bios, but the first one died on me, so I moved on. The Biostar is nice, and there is a great community that supports it. However, I found it handled memory like crap, and I could get stable on much more than 4.0 despite vcore. The Gene is simply the best matx board I've ever seen. The layout is awesome, and it's very stable. For some reason though, I just didn't like having a matx. Everything just seemed too close together. The Bloodrage is just beautiful. Very stable, and the bundle can't be beat. Hell, it even includes a waterblock and LN2 pot. The board just screams quality. Some users were having trouble with the board on early bios releases, but the last couple of releases have turned a very good board into a great board.

I had a DFI die my self and replaced it with l my rampage extreme 2. It also had bugs in the beginning but not now.

I'm still glad I got rid of my R2E

. I can't live without OC shut down free and easy BCLK resets.

PaulieG · May 7, 2009

Here's a quick shot of my new DO. Vcore etc is higher than it needs to be. I'm off to test it now.

Binge · May 7, 2009

Good luck Paulie, I hope yours exceeds your expectations.

n-ster · May 7, 2009

Yea... can't wait to see another D0 OC

Could I also ask you temp comparisons between C0/C1 and D0 at the same speeds? thxs

Jakethesnake011 · May 7, 2009

So I got my motherboard back from MSI today and it is still broken, they did not do anything to fix it

I am pissed. So I guess i am gonna ship it back for a new one and wait another 3 weeks

IN the mean time I am wondering if buying a d0 is really worth it. Some have evidence it is and then others say it is not.

You won't see a huge difference unless you benchmark or BOINC.

My question is, USUALLY, does it mean lower temps with D0? cause with mudkip's, same temps for a lot less Vcore doesn't seem normal...

It's less vcore equal temps. It is normal if you understand how they revised the chip. At first glance they even changed the resisters visible on the back of the chip. My guess is that the D0s perform a lot like chips that require low QPI, but they also can't handle high QPI voltage. It will cause crashes. Every single bluescreen I've gotten with a D0 has been different than with my C0.

Hmm my D0 seems to run 21 x 200 stable @ 1.2815v in BIOS.

Just ran A quick 15 min OCCT test. My experience is that if it past the 15 min test. it will also past the 1 hour test.

I'm thinking about keeping it.

Thrackan · May 7, 2009

That looks like decent volts/Ghz there

mudkip · May 7, 2009

btw Thrackan , did you block me on msn?

Thrackan · May 7, 2009

Did I? I do have a tendency of randomly blocking people... Hmm..

you block the wrong one (me ) :laugh:

O+

mudkip · May 7, 2009

1.2715 v in BIOS

Now heading for 1 hour OCCT

Binge · May 7, 2009

Yep, that's how it goes. The D0s will pull less watts from the PSU as well, but they'll still throw off heat like WTF.

mudkip · May 7, 2009

1.27v doesn't seem stable. back to 1.28

Binge · May 7, 2009

Yep, a hair under and blue screens. Am I right?

Nope.

but the turbo modus actually requires more votlage right?
