Intel DP45SG (Skyburg)

[Sam]

Dear Friends,

I also have DP45SG,and use Windows XP 32bits.
After all latest drivers are installed and BIOS had been upated to latest version "0106",but I found in Device Manger,there is "!" on the item "High Definition Audio device",and it seems its driver is not installed.
Whether someone know what happen about it or anyone met the issue before? Thanks a lot!
I ever installed Vista,and the issue didn't happened.

I assume you've turned the onboard audio on in the BIOS (otherwise it probably wouldn't show up in the Device Manager at all). You said you installed all the latest drivers. But, just to make sure, did you install the "Audio: IDT* 92xx Audio Driver?"

Intel® Desktop Board DP45SGÂ*Audio: IDT* 92xx Audio Driver

If you did, did it complain about anything?

Yes,I turned the onboard audio on in the BIOS,and installed the Audio: IDT* 92xx Audio Driver. I can see "IDT High Definition Audio CODEC" in "Audio,video,and game controller" of Device Maniger. But I also see there is yellow "!" happened on "High Definition Audio device" on "other device" of device manager"

Did you ever used WINXP before with DP45SG and found the issue?

I can't believe that username was available lol.



I gave my TRue Black 120 a test last night. It has been idling at 24C and thought it was time to retest it with something more difficult than CPUBurn. I used Intel Burn Test which uses Linpack. I ran four iterations and all numbers came back correct. It topped out at only 52C. This heat sink is the best period. Couple it with Antec silver paste applied properly and a Thermalright 1300 fan and you have yourself a setup which cools better than water.

For those of you who would like to try the Intel Burn Test here's the info. but beware of the consequences of heat stress and read the readme. For example, if you have ran Prime95 and get around 65C you will see around 80C with this software.

Sandog, please repeat your method of applying the thermal compound (Antec silver paste) Antec or Arctic silver?

I haven't used this board with XP. It's odd that the issue would just show up under XP and not under Vista. Do you have an actual sound card installed on the board? Or, just the onboard audio? If you have a sound card, did you install its drivers? If you don't have a sound card, then about the only other thing I can suggest is running Intel's INF drivers for the chipset and see if it picks anything up:

Oh, are you getting sound?

This is the best stuff I have used to date and I have tried Shin Etsu, Artic Silver/Ceramic, Arctic Cooling MX-2, pyrolytic graphite sheets, and many, many, others. The Antec Formula 5 STC didn't just work with my TRue Black 120, it also worked with a regular LGA775 I was using before (32C idle).
Antec - Formula 5 STC

I followed Antecs Formula 5 STC manual but in adding I used a brand new paint scraper razor blade like this. The blade is firm and unbendable. I also clean the new blade, heat sink, and heat spreader with 91% isopropyl alcohol. Also I take the CPU out of the socket and hold it with my fingers being careful not to touch the pins on the bottom. This is the only way you can achieve the angle you require to lay the paste (out of the board) and it goes quicker. I use less than a BB's worth and continue to rake it at all angles and wiping the blade off on bare spots. You get a glass finish that is non-transparent and the width of the razor blade covers the heat sink spreader width so you aren't left with any lines either. The secret is to end up with an ultra-thin coating.

Formula 5 STC Manual
"Instructions:
1.Remove any thermal pads or other compound from the heat sink and the CPU core surfaces. Use a LINT FREE cloth and low residual solvent such as isopropyl alcohol or acetone (nail polish remover) to clean the mating surfaces completely. Make absolutely sure the surfaces are free of foreign materials such as old compound, a hair, piece of lint or oil from fingers. Note: Never use any oil or petroleum based cleaners (WD-40, citrus based grease removers and other automotive degreasers) to clean the surfaces.
2.Put a finger into a clean plastic bag and apply a small amount of Silver Thermal Compound to the outside of the bag. To apply the compound, use a circular motion to rub the compound onto the base of the heat sink where the CPU core will contact it. Use a LINT FREE cloth to clean the surface again.
DO NOT use any solvent or fluid this time.
3.Slowly and carefully squeeze about 1/2 size of an uncooked grain of white rice or 1/4 of a BB to the CPU core.
4.Use a razor blade or the clean edge of a piece of paper to spread the compound over the core. Note: DO NOT use your finger to apply or smooth the compound.
5.Follow the manufacturer's instructions to secure the heat sink. Minimize any "Twisting" or lateral "Sliding"."

Here's an IntelBurnTest run. I did it at max. stress and 5 iterations this time. Under Linpack test results, all the numbers match which means a successful run. Check out the min. and max. core temps.

hi, I just recieved 2 more gigs (1gb x 2) for my board to add on to the 2gb (1gb x 2) that I already have installed. I have Windows Xp Pro Sp3 and Bios 92. When I entered windows after installing them it said that I only have 2.49Gb of ram. I went into bios and all of the ram was recognized and I have a total of 4096Mb. The ram is OCZ 10600 1333 1.7v 9-9-9-26. I took out each ram module individually and all that crap and I still had 2.49. So basically I paid $60 for .49Gb of ram. Wow lol any help would be great.

The reason you're seeing less than the 4GB or RAM you actually have is because you're using a 32-bit operating system. A 32-bit OS can SEE 4GB of RAM, but it reserves a chunk of that address space for itself and for the addressing of things like your video card memory (people with 2GB of RAM or less don't see this because those addresses come from the address space above their own). I don't know how useful it will be, but here's a link that talks about that a bit:

RAM, Virtual Memory, Pagefile and all that stuff

There are a few things you can do to see more of that memory. Try this page as a starting point:

A description of the 4 GB RAM Tuning feature and the Physical Address Extension parameter

But, if you want to see your full 4GB, you'll have to move up to a 64-bit OS.

Thank you for the quick response I will check out those links. Thanks!

I am new to this board, but I have to say I am impressed with the intelligent responses and friendly interaction. I have it bookmarked and have been trolling for a while.

Actually, I found it after I bought my Intel DP45SG board and ran into problems with ram. Hind sight says maybe this board was not the best choice for my first system build. I found a great price on OCZ Reaper 2x1g sticks, so I got 2 pair of these: OCZ Reaper HPC 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail. This are Item#:N82E16820227292. All went well with the assembly until we hit the power button.......and it would not POST with 4 sticks of ram. We removed 2 sticks, and it runs fine (with 2gigs of ram). We tried both pairs of ram separately, and it works fine with either pair, but not with all 4. I am typing this on 64 bit Vista.

I am still running with the original 083 bios. The memory is currently set to ‘Automatic’ and is using 6-6-6 timings and 1.55 volts. I was watching and waiting for a new bios update to say “Jay, this will fix your problems!” Will the 106 bios fix my problem? Should I be scared to use the Windows updater?

Thanks for the great discussions. And sorry if this shows up in a strange place in the thread.

I got exact same problem,even with the new bios.Anyone got a solution?thx

to ABXZone jay and lifeforce,

First off I am pretty sure I've read some NewEgg reviews of people running four sticks and there are probably others who posted here with 4 sticks. I would make sure the VDDR voltage in BIOS matches your SPD voltage of your RAM. You should see all four sticks in BIOS even if the voltage is not sufficient so it is strange. I believe I would update the BIOS especially if it is the original BIOS since I don't know what else to try. Good luck and keep us posted.
