Nice run!! Dumo-san

DFI infinity 975X/G seems to be fast.
But it seems not to run if FSB:MEMclock is not lowered.

Anyway,waiting for your faster run.:toast:

[luf1c3r]

Very good motherboard. The bad thing is that she doesn't have a good aesthetics :(

[Waus-mod]

Dumo how did you passed 380 fsb?

great oc there!

[Silves]

I think he set the memory to 400mhz.

[GLENBOY]

well done dumo i have thew same board here just got it today, i was a bit worried as i saw the 370fsb factor but went for it anyway, it seems the dfi has a tighter latency on the chipset as your super pi is as fastas the asus or badaxe at same clocks with the lower memory divider, have you tried the ram in the other 2 slots

[Dumo]

Very good motherboard. The bad thing is that she doesn't have a good aesthetics :(Like this:D ...As long as it liquid proof around socket area than she's ok:)

also with the ram slots does it mak ay difference which slots are used , 1 and 3 ,2 an 4 for different brands of ram

Thank for sharing the information Dumo :toast:

Seems I should have bought a DFI Infinity for my step4 X6800 instead of this crap (or at least not ready for release) Asus P5W-DH ..

To bad is almost impossible to find any retailer with DFI Infinity 975X/G in stock in all Europe :(

Dumo.. still like to know how you passed the 380fsb :D

[Dumo]

Dumo.. still like to know how you passed the 380fsb :DMem. @ 400 in bios.

[GLENBOY]

hi waus mod, i also have the same board craps out at 369fsb, but on checking its a lot faster than the asus or badaxe at the same spped in superpi, i have a 6600 step 5 and also have managed to use my low profile lanfreezer watercooling block on the chipset off my nforce board, so the chipset idles around 33 , i had it up to 369 then it went awol and now i can't get it either up there again any tips with this dfi board

[dinges]

you have to play with the divider. you need the "slow" divider to get past the fsb wall, someone yelled about the 5:4 divider, but i cant test it myself (yet) so im not sure if thats the one..

[GLENBOY]

i'll give it a try with a very low divider, just getting a feel for the bios now first time i have had an intel

[M3kk]

Any Clockgen for this board?

[Fr3ak]

Does anyone know if those boards have issues with Seasonic PSUs?
My Ultra-D killed 2 S12 500W and I just got my 2nd replacement and I dont want to send it in again within 2 months lol

[alpha0ne]

I have been trying for the last day to get my E6600 to even post using this board :mad:

I have an 830D that I have used to change settings, I have tried all the ram settings from 400 upto 667, I have tried really loose timings with no luck, I have tried with just one stick of my G.Skill 6400 with no luck, tried upping Vcore, NDv etc etc and each time I do any change I then put the E6600 back in but each time its the same.....................nothing, no post, no bios, I have even changed/tried every bios with no luck

I have now swapped over CPU's 16 times and I am now convinced this Conroe is dead :stick: :(

[Nazu]

So this mobo can't do +400fsb? Next month upgrading to C2D and I have been looking the best mobo for E6400 and the Asus P5W DH Dlx seems to be best for cpu's with low multi example E6300 & E6400 but it seems to have lot of problems so the DFI looks better and more stable. I have also thought Bad Axe but it doesn't seem that good for low multi cpu. What do you guys think which one is best?

[hipogtr]

Looking good on the DFI. Keep pushimg it.

Whoa - alpha I hope not :eek:

Can you find another OCAu / i4 Memory member close to try?

I have my 6600 ES going okay in my board, using Mushkin PC6400 modules:thumbsup:

[eva2000]

alpha's sending his cpu back to me for retesting... it worked fine when i tested it on my bad axe before i sent it to alpha.. me fairly sure his DFI board is the problem not the cpu

[Jaim3x]

nice job!!!

oh no alpha i hope it's ok :(

does better cooling on NB help this board dumo

[WesM63]

Dumo,
Sorry if this has been answered, is it faster than the P5W DH clock for clock?

[Dumo]

With new bios (hopefuly DFI will release it soon) its probly better than P5WD DH...in terms of voltage options.

[WesM63]

Thanks Dumo.. if my next P5W DH sucks, time for a DFI.

[alpha0ne]

Thanks Dumo.. if my next P5W DH sucks, time for a DFI.

What do you mean next ??, have you already fried one or did it commit suicide :eek: :)

[nop]

alpha0ne, how's your DFI going? Good?

[alpha0ne]

alpha0ne, how's your DFI going? Good?

Apart from not being able to use my 3rd HDD as a bootable install like you can with the NF4 chipset (intel suck hard, ICH7 :stick: ) I have no problems with the board though only using an 820D ATM that for some reason on this board has now become an 830D :eek: :D

After my eXpert using intel is a bit of a shock to the system and I cant wait till the ATI 600 arrives, anyway heres a ss of the POS smithfield, components as per my sig :)

No, didn't fry it. Its had issues since day one, its going back. RMA.

It seems that my E6600 is fine :banana: :banana:

Eva2000 has been testing/torturing it for the last few hours with no problems at all so it seems that all the blood, sweat and tears is down to the DFI Infinity 975X/G :( :mad: :slapass:

[GLENBOY]

dfi have just posted new bios 31/07 for dfi infinity 975 x , i have installed i think only difference is the cpu info and ram info is now correct in posting screen but still stuck 400fsb :( ,
http://us.dfi.com.tw/Support/Download/bios_download_us.jsp?PRODUCT_ID=4696&STATUS_FLAG=B&SITE=US

will post this on a couple of the other threads regarding bios updates

[eOn]

Hi guys, Hope this isn't a really stupid question but..... I have a X6800 on the same board but I can't get my CPU Volts higher than 1.3???? That's the highest option the board gives me. Does anyone know why??

Many thanks,

eOn.

[GLENBOY]

i'd ask dumo on this thread as he has a x6800, i must admit i have viewed many posts about the dfi 975 and have not seen anyone else with the same problem i would probably advise to reflash the bios and use the 31/07 bios

[eOn]

Yep that's what I thought, so I have tried both the new BOIS and the last one. Both only give me 1.3Volts MAX. There i one thing. On my PCP&C 510 PSU I only have a 4 Pin P4 connecter. Now the DFI has an 8 pin version. Dumo are you using a 8 pin P4 connector?? Maybe that's why I only get 1.3 Volts. It does say in the manual that it's OK to fit a 4 pin version but it never explains the difference if you don't!

Thanks.

[eOn]

Any ideas? Dumo? I wanted to figure this out before fitting my mach 2gt to it. Also I only get x11 multi in my CPUZ why do you guys get (x6 x11)?? I know it makes no difference and mine will change from 6 to 11 but I never see both like in your screen shot. Does this have anything to do with it?

I would really appreciate some help with this. Thanks in advance.

[Stoolman]

hmmmm... Looks like i need to get my hands on this board as well... everything need to be tried in the search of the needed speed...P5W DH doesnt quite seem to cut it...

[eOn]

Great mate but if you do get one can you let me know if you get the full V Core settings?? I only get up to 1.3V!!!

[Dumo]

It does say in the manual that it's OK to fit a 4 pin version but it never explains the difference if you don't!

Thanks.I used 8 pins psu and bios 0707. Can you try it with different psu?

[eOn]

I think I will. I don't have a PSU with a server harness (the 8 pin version) so I guess I'll just buy one. I have also ordered a 4 to 8 pin adapter but I'll only use it to test it. It's very odd that a PCP&C would not supply enough Volts. But does that sound like it's the problem, would that cause the motherboard to not allow me to select more than 1.3v?

[eOn]

Right this is driving me mad. I have plugged in an 8 pin 12 volt and I still only get up to 1.35 volts.

Now am I being really daft? These are the options I see in my BIOS:
CPU VID Offset (up to 787.5mv) Do I need to use this as well as the CPU voltage to get more than 1.35?? (I'm sure this won't work, isn't 1000mv in a Volt)?
CPU VTT Voltage setting (Up to 1.35v)
DRAM Volt
NB Volt.

OK so are you setting yours up to 1.7 in the CPU VTT or do you add on the CPU VID Offset???

Thanks in advance.

Tom.

[Laiho]

OK so are you setting yours up to 1.7 in the CPU VTT or do you add on the CPU VID Offset???

Maybe its like 'Special CPU VID Control' ?
You would try a small increase of CPU VID Offset, and look at the voltage.

hi ndumo i am another one whos persevered with this board i have now got a step 5 e6700 to help get over the fsb wall its a qpga , i know you had one it boots into windows and seems stable at 3900 but fails prime instantly but needs 1.325 =.325 in volts in bios (1.65) prime stable at 3780 at a lower voltage , my e6600 ran at 1.5 volts 3600 prime stable with 400mhz divider and corsair 8500 at 3 3 2 1 any tips to get the most out of motherboard and cpu i am watercooling by the way, thanks for the info you had already given us as it got me to 400fsb stable with the dfi

ps also whats that cpu add on speed in bios i saw that but did not know what it did

[Dumo]

Glad to hear that Glenboy:toast:

I dunno what is that turbo options really do, my guess it added speed internally.

[^don.k's^]

Nice going there with 450+ fsb on the dfi! :toast:

cheers dumo how the hell did you get past the fsb wall on the dfi, also i knwow you had a qpga e6700es step 5 cpu i have just installed mine and over 3700 it seems to need mega volts 3820 1.625 in bios and 3900 need 1.65 but temps under load go crazy with these volts although idle is still 44 ish any insight thanks

The good news is DFI tw will send me updated bios once they figured it out, hopefuly before Lanparty 600 release:)

Thanks again.

[0verl0ad]

my board limit at ~370mhz fsb .... i tried everything to ger higher, but nothing helped. but maybe is my the cpu reason. it´s a e6400 stepping 1 (A1) ...

[Kunaak]

Heres my DFI.

weird board.

does not like 2 gigs of ram at all.
does not work with 4 dimms filled.
does not pass 950 mhz on ram, regaurdless of using my Pentium D 930 or E6400.
cannot run 1:1 or higher, when passing 400 FSB... no matter what cas.

I've had this board for about a month, but this is the first time I used it with my E6400 that I got about a week ago.

so far, this board OC's better then my DS3 on actual MHZ, but way less on the ram....
great board, if you want low latency, and high Mhz.

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=111176

[Revv23]

i wish they would get the bios worked out.

[gandolf]

Results so far for me using latest Bios

1. The computer may boot at default CPU clock even though the post screen says otherwise? Hum, never seen this one before?
2. No apparent support for running additional SATA disk/s if you are using raid.
3. Boots to default CPU FSB if 400 split is used in the memory settings no matter what.
4. Boots to desktop quickly however task-bar (Ethernet and virus software) items load slow. Never have seen this one either.

[BlaqMale]

^^^ don't have hands on info but from another dfi infinty thread a new beta bios takes care off your issues. hopefully this board is the one for me and my e6600 7950gx2 combo
