[TheWeaseL]

Awesome. Simply. Awesome. :)

[saaya]

great! :toast:

[saaya]

do you recommend using the winflash utlity?

[shrae]

Great stuff!

I can't speak for lastviking, but I personally would not recommend using winflash at all. Every forum I go to, I can find you several threads where users killed their boards using winflash with the alpha or beta bioses.

[iceman2g]

How do you flash using DOS? I've only done it once and it was on my old Asus board. Can someone give the steps involved.

[saaya]

i dont have a floppy drive :(

i hate floppies...

[gelatinousfury]

1. Go get your Win98 boot disk that you have stashed away somewhere. If you never had a Win98 boot disk, you can get it here:

Win98 Boot Disk (http://www.angrygames.com/win98.zip)

2. Download AWDflash.exe and the BIOS you want:

Click here and then click on the blue "flash" link near the top to download AWDflash.exe (http://www.abit-usa.com/downloads/bios/bios_revision.php?categories=1&model=124)

(I know it's an Abit website but the AWDflash program is the same)

3. Copy the AWDflash.exe program and the new BIOS file onto one floppy disk or make 2 seperate disks (One Win98 boot disk and one disk containing AWDflash.exe and the BIOS).

4. Set current BIOS to boot from floppy and use the Win98 boot disk to boot into DOS.

5. At the A:\ prompt type awdflash biosname.bin (Your BIOS file might have a different extension, so change it accordingly........also, if you did the 2 disk method you have to insert your other disk before typing this) and hit enter.

6. After BIOS updating is complete, your system will restart. After it restarts power it down immediately and do the post bios updating procedure outlined below (can never be too cautious lol).

POST BIOS UPDATING PROCEDURE

1. Unplug the power cord to the computer to completely power down

2. clear CMOS jumper for 30 seconds

3. Power computer back up, and immediately go into the BIOS

4. Choose "Load Failsafe Defaults" or "Load Optimized"

5. Save and exit

Immediately after reboot, go back into the BIOS and configure to your liking.


I got this information from the DFI forum over at amdmb.com and thought I'd add it since this might turn into one of those big info-stuffed threads :)

Thanks for posting those settings Lastviking. I just got my new Mach I set up with my new Lanparty last night and I'm about to try overclocking on it for the first time. I've already updated to the 2/17 Alpha BIOS.

[sjohnson]

For flashing and much, much more get the Ultimate Boot CD at http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/

It's the Swiss Army knife, mother of all boot CD's :)

This deserves to be a sticky!

[saaya]

vlad, none of the 30 download links on that site work! wth? :confused:

[Confused_User]

I find the ALT + F2 method the best to flash bioses. You just stick the bios file on the floppy with awdflash.exe and press ALT + F2 at startup. Then just wait for the bios to flash.

And nice FAQ there Lastviking, I was wondering what all those extra timings were in the alpha bios.

[saaya]

ok i finally found a server that still has the file, thx vlad!

[sjohnson]

All the servers on Vlad's link have the file, it's just the referring link that's busted. Poor website design :(

[Evil_Spork]

yes! thank you LV!! great post man. helps so much!

[SPiKE]

Great FAQ! ;)

I hope with this guide I'll reach 250MHz of FSB stable.

[Lastviking]

Uppdated :)

[blinky]

awesome FAQ dude, i was thinking about doing the capacitor mods like u did on my NF7-S, but i have a question about it, should i just match the capacitance of the caps that are already there, and have caps with voltages of equal or greater than the ones on the board?, is this correct, or should i go for more capacitance

[Lastviking]

Do like this..put 4700uF there you have 3300uF and use 16v if the caps are 10v or 16v. Use 3300uF if you have 2200uF on the board :)

[TheWeaseL]

That's so awesome with those caps added on! Makes me wish I could solder.

[GazC]

This should be stickied for sure, great stuff! :D

[muzz]

Of course I can ONLY speak for myself when I say I PERSONALLY have flashed over 30X using winflash or Flashmenu without a SINGLE hiccup.
I ALWAYS run the board COMPLETELY stock when getting ready to flash, and my boards are ALWAYS running very stable ( IE: Windows ISN'T acting up).

I was VERY hesitant to run a windows flash program, but as I have stated I am stable and have not had a single problem doing it.....

I figure a stable windows @stock is as good as a floppy that is/may be a corrupt file because of the actual floppy OR drive.
I hate floppies for those reasons......

To each his own, but I wouldn't hesistate to do it again through windows.
My install is stable.
And I WILL.

what about caps that are 1200uF and 16v?

/edit can i go with 2200uF@16v caps or do i need to go higheron the volts

I love the color-coded "which mosfets/chips do you need to sink" diagrams. Such great work, we really appreciate it.

Only question I have, the CMOS battery is considered a step 2 cooling area? -_-

Theres only one vdd mod and one vdimn mod. :stick:

You must have been thinking the 2 voltage measuring point for the vdd and vdimn were different mods. :D

SP2 is said to be fastest. I found it googling, on a few open http servers that had it backed up.
Or go here WIN2K SP2 (http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/servicepacks/sp2/sp2lang.asp)

[sjohnson]

Thanks Poki, I must have been using the wrong keywords in my google searching and have spent HOURS trying to find it on MS own site.

[st0nedpenguin]

Microsoft's site is just designed not to let you get to the files you want, I have wasted many an hour on there just looking for that one last file. :rolleyes:

[sjohnson]

Lastviking's Alpha BIOS "how-to" for those with boards that don't cooperate after flashing normally. I know it's around the forums but thought it should go into the sticky thread
2-17 alpha"fix so it works"
I had same problem like you .. but i found a cure for it .. use 1-31 or 1-21 bios first....Set up your best settings..vcore and all other settings...Save it in the bios "backup settings" . Set it to stock settings and flash to alpha 2-17.D01 . Load saved settings..from 1-31 bios...the board will maybe not post after that..press the reset button and the board will post...now you can change settings in bios "it worked for me but i don´t know if it works for you"

The new settings in alpha bios...

Fastest and highest fsb settings...

Did anyone have noticed poor write performance in a Raid 0 arrary with the DFI LP NFII UltraB and the Infinity?

I have read about this issue many times and I'm hoping to find a solution.

OMG YES, my 2 80GB SEAGATE SATA drives in Raid 0 barely outperform my single 120GB WD PATA. i tried different sil sata raid drivers and different nf2 drivers, kinda lamoid.

[bigZ]

great FAQ... couple of questions though...

I'm looking at fully modding my Infinity

have I got the right list of VRs for the various mods?

vCore - 50k
vDrop - 50k
vSense - 50k
vDD - 100k to use from >65k
vDIMM - 200k (or can I get away with a 100k? if so what would be the lowest voltage I can run?)

vCore overcurrent - can I use fixed resistors? if so what would be the best size to use? I'm looking for about 2.1v vCore if that helps :)

Finally, the cap mod - are they being wired in parallel to the existing caps?

Cheers :D

[Asio]

I think I'm overlooking something but it just wont come to mind.
My infinity just arived. I formated C:/ for a clean install of winXPpro. I can do this by booting of the cd rom and it installs the files needed to actually begin the windows install. After the pc reboot to do just that i get the message "press buton to boot of cd" so I keep my hand of the keybo and then recieve the message "error while loading os" in dutch (so translation could be a little dif).

Same with only HHD as boot device ...
Its a maxtor hdd contected to the prime IDE. I even try using the IDE cable that came with the board.

[texuspete00]

I didn't read the whole thread but I do want to first say thanks to lastviking of course, but to back up his suggestion to try different drivers. I am going to give the one he listed a shot but I have been using a lot remixes and they are better. On the Nvidia side only the new drivers have no sound issues for me but performance is better on the older drivers. I guess you could remix them yourself but for the less adventurous, these are a must.

[megatron]

Just got an infinity today + IQYHA running 200fsb * 13 with 1.85v vcore. I just checked my Vdimm 2.64v for 2.7v in bios and Vdd was 1.61v for 1.6 in bios. Edit: Opps its actually overvolting by .04v since I was at 2.6v vdimm.

Just out of interest who decided what capacitor values to use in these mods? If u put caps in parallel I believe it total capacitance goes down. Is this what is meant in the diagrams?

Also is it best to use the bios flashing utility winflash included on the cd?

[SAE]

Originally posted by megatron

Wrong. Caps in a row decrease total capacity and in parallel increase it... the opposite to resistors :)

[megatron]

Yeah since u put it that way now I remember. Doh! I agree its the opposite to resistors, and I had that in mind when I wrote the above.

[xttz]

Im getting Mobile CPU for LanParty!!! And i dont know what is better Duron or Athlon ? So guys what do u think is better? And what speed of CPU i have to buy for better overclocking im thinking about 2.4 or 2.6 but im not shure what is better. ;)

[vlad]

Well this SUCKS:mad: . I killed my Infinity and it was only a week old. Everything was going great. The bios that it came with kinda blew so i flashed it to 1-31 and thats when everything started to take off.
Everything is out of my NF7-S rig so i knew it was all up to par. MK1/ 2400 mobile(2650mhz in nf7-s)/Mushkin LV2 pc3500/Raptor Raid 0/9800pro/425w pcp&c psu & a Modded cheiftec case with outstanding flow. I had it stable @ 9.5x245fsb but when i pushed it to 250fsb it would give random restarts so i desided to back her off & burn in a little more @245 when the bios screen locked up on me, after i hit reset it gave me a black screen & long beeps. then i jumpered the cmos & now nothing but black screen. Ill check everything with one of my other boards but im fairly sure the bios chip is gone. It was starting to look real nice too. I've seen a few talking about hot flashing with a RDA chip. Is it worth the effort or should i just RMA it? Thanks.

edit: I followed the lastvikings tips to the T . Volts incase youre interested were 1.750vcore/1.8vdd/3.3vdimm/ dimm was set to 1:1, so on and so forth. Great sticky i might add.:toast:

[megatron]

I recommend hotflashing it works, but mind how you extract the bios chip from the socket. I had the proper tool and it was a bugger. The tong doesn't fit in the space provided between the socket and the bios chip in order to allow the tong to go underneath.

I managed to corrupt both bios and bios savior, LOL!:banana: I got it back up and running using my NF7-S v2 outside the case. Now both bios and bios savior are flashed back fine. I obviously felt too secure with the bios savior, my bad.

However I have heard of other people having trouble using the bios extractor tool and this was the case with me. The hook does not go underneath in normal operation of the tool but it will go if u put in only on tong at an angle so it fits underneath. I heard of someone filing it down. I did not get where to file it but after using it - its to make the width of the tip of the implement narrower so the tool can slip between to socket and the bios chip itself.


Vlad how fast did the board go without any mods? What does your board look like with all the places cooled a la Viking's guide?:toast: I can't seem to get 220fsb stable with 3.1 v with BH-5 twinmos, errors in memtest (test 6).

[megatron]

Used these switches on my NF7-S v2 to flash inifinity bios:
AWDFLASH N24IDB27.BIN /PY /SN /E /F
Used award flash version in the zip file that 1127 comes in.

I'm not suprised with this as i removed the bios chip of my old (dead) nf² mobo.
I cracked the socket of the bios chip while removing it.
It should work as only the plastic is cracked and all the wires are still in place. Yet i don't feel like doing this to my infinity.
I'le just be creative and use me nobbie :D

:doh: What i ment was i followed his bios settings to the T, As far as modds the board is stock. I like to see what i can get out of a board before i modd it. That way i know how good the modd worked. I've had boards that heat sinking everything worked wonders for & others that had only marginal improvement. I dont have a spaire bios chip or the tool, to be honest with you i've never had this problem, Most of the time when ive pushed the bus too far the OS got hosed. Is the bios saver/tool i see for the Nf7 the same? :am: I'd hate to trash my NF7-S chip because i plan to voltmodd it and put back together with my chiller and the only other Nforce board i have is my Epox, but thats my everyday rig & my wife keeps all her lession plans on so thats out of the question. Thanks.

[megatron]

The bios savior version in the RD1-PMC4 the same as for the NF7-S v2, however I had the epox 8RDA+ rev 1 which was a 2Mb chip and definately not compatable. I hear the Asus can hot flash with this board.

You are not a stupid, I spent quite a time trying to find out that very information. I thought a second hand one I saw (RD1-8X?) fit but I was reading the chart wrong.

[vlad]

Can you give me a link to where i can find one? The more i think about i'd hate to send it back and chance getting one that wont hit high fsb in its place. ;)

Hey SAE what speeed i have to buy for Burton?

Im thinking about 2.4MHz or 2.6MHz maybe u think about some other speed.

I would recommend the 2600+ as with that you have better chances to get a great one :)

If you want the 2400+, get the 2400+ with 35W power consumprtion... www.itbutikken.dk has them...

They will both do fine for your purposes IMO ;)

I just want to bring peoples attention to this thread regarding something I "blundered" across when Vmodding my DFI;

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32868

Could do with some Vmod experts on this one....

[megatron]

I hope someone with answer this question because I am stuck at 210fsb and also was stuck at suck a disappoing speed on my NF7-S v2. Where can I measure the 3.3v rail and 12v rails (maybe 5v too) on the motherboard. The molex reading reports higher than spec, but I must have a problem somewhere. This speed (210fsb) is achieved with 1.7vdd and 2.8vdimm. I want to measure Vio/3.3v rail. I can chuck 3.3v at the memory and it doesn't help. I got bh-5 and even got it heatsinked up like a gooden with 120mm fan on the memory. The vdimm was 3.35 when maxed but even with this 215fsb is not stable!

I am asking where to measure because of the readings from the winbond hardware monitor. I got a 550w enermax so it should be up to the job if I can verify/mod it.

On the Vdd chip the leg above the Vdd point I have been told should be 5v but mine is 4.13v while my molex are 5.13v can anyone verify this point on their own board plz?

[Hell-Fire]

I have seen 2 different versions of the Vdd and Vdimm mods for the Infinity.

One says use 200K VR, other says 100K for Vdimm. One says 50k VR and other says 100K sset to 65K VR. for Vdd. I dont care to waste 2 of my 100K VRs if I dont have to. Any clarification would be great.

[megatron]

It don't like duel channel (so its going back) but I am now at 235fsb 1 * 256Mb with BH-5 2 2 2 2 11 3.1v, and this is just the first setting I tried after testing my 2 * 512Mb mushkin lv2 - good for 225fsb 3.1v 2.5 2 2 2 11, single channel.

I used the 200k for my vdimn mod and it works great. Not sure about the vdd mod though.

AFAIK 1/31 is 1/21 with more options. Its not maxed out with options, it doesn't have .025v increments for vcore even.

Hi :cool:

You'll have to urn APIC off for fsbs higher than 260MHz! In most cases high vdimm voltages won't help anyway... heat is the limiting factor. CPC mainly helps double sided dimm users to get higher. Dunno if it does sth for ya.

You should definately cool your mobo well in order to reach high fsbs... :thumbsup:

I wouldn't turn off CPC off to get higher FSBs. The performance drop will be huge. Increasing the FSB to what you've stated isn't going to be enough to gain perfomance by turning off CPC.

http://www.aoaforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23998

you'll need around 275~ 280fsb CPC Off to break even at 240fsb CPC On.

Two reasons why that's not recommended:
- Memory will not likely be able to handle it.
- it's not going to be reliable for everyday run.

Afaik there's only the vdrop/overcurrent protection and vcore mods... as well as vdd, sb vdd and vdimm. Try to ubercool your mosfets, that may reduce your drops a little, a fan blowing to them would be of assistance too.

The bios 5/5 (be careful) stabilizes vcore voltages too, but maybe you won't see this in hardware monitor cause the monitoring chips are sometimes cr*p...

Fastwrites always off, as they tend to lock my system up in windows or even before.

Genie menu showing sth like sata mode/raid directly at the end of the list (scroll fully down)... this has to be disabled as well. (for me it's to diasble the whole list under the voltage settings in genie menu)

...you can disable floppy controller too. But I dunno what effect it has. Never do that cause I need it to transfer bioses and 3dmark files quickly to my internet rig :D

In the light of the turn of events at the Amdmb/DFI forum, I think we should be prepared to kick things into a higher gear here with regards to getting our heads around the DFI sisters and continue to improve them as benching tools.

It would appear that DFI have such poor QA and PR, that they have upset a great deal of people. The resulting backlash of which seems to have put their online support over the edge. I think that the more enlightened (e.g. the people who are members here) may have to continue the level of user support and build on it in the potential absence of any tangiable DFI support.

With the lack of production bioses, the ignorance/apathy of the TW offices we have been pretty much on our own already and the signs are that they are washing their hands of us. So lets continue looking after each other guys. At least the ranting will not find its way here, so it cannot be used as an excuse (not that it would here) for us to turn a blind eye to ourselves.

I get the feeling that AG didn't realise what he was getting himself in for. It is clear that Taiwan themselves are not interested in helping us and I can see why that would frustrate AG.

I do not believe that DFI Tw have never seen things like the cold boot issues or the incidents of bios hosing like they claim. That is a whitewash.

But at least we can rely on each other here.

Clean this forum up. No longer will I accept anything but users/customers seeking help. You want to discuss how crappy DFI is, go find another forum/section or complain to the company offices.

Your :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:ing and moaning belongs in an email to DFI.

This forum is for help. Not for you to complain to me about how much you hate DFI.

You dont like DFI, you have three options:

1. ask for help. We (RG and I) will do our best to help you out.

2. sell/return your motherboard and buy something else

3. write or call the DFI offices.

My job is not to filter out all the bs that is going on here. My job and RG's job is to try to help people fix issues.

We do not get paid to listen to your opinions of how crappy you think we or our company is. That is what management gets paid to listen to.

We are DFI techs to try and help customers solve issues.

WHen you plug up a forum with ranting and raving all it does is make it impossible for users to find the help they need.

So here is your final word on this. Police yourselves and clean this place up and use it strictly for what it was intended for, or we (the DFI reps) will vacate it and you will be on your own.

This is exactly what has happened at the Abit section, and all the other sections that have lost their reps. They moved on to a place they had complete control over so they could actually help customers.

That is exactly what is going to happen here if things persist in the manner they are going.

Before you reply back with any rude comments, remember that there are hundreds of users that come to this particular section. Don't bother opening your mouth if its going to be something that ruins it for everyone else. Because it will ruin it for everyone else.

Mods and admins here are not going to police you like you need to be policed. I cannot police you here.

I can choose to move on to a place where I can police you and the content you post.

Its up to you. Make your choice and remember that many many others depend on this forum for help and insight and discussion.


PERIOD. END OF DISCUSSION. Take it or leave it, it is entirely up to you as a community.

Thats the official infinity bios 11/27 for u. It really is a stinker. Any other bios helps the problem (at least they will warm boot from overclocked settings). The latest 4/29 & 5/5 solve the cold boot issue altogether for me but they do have a failure rate when flashing. No one can say which bios suits ur board, u just have to suck it and see.

[SofaKing]

I got the 1/21 bios flashed and its running sweet, I am still having problems with Dual channel, I have double-sided KHX pc2700 it will post, then boot windows and crashes right away. I am running CPC now with the new bios and I no longer am experiencing cold boot problems.

Thanks guys

[megatron]

I would check stability in single channel first, cpc off. Put both sticks in the close set dimm slots (dimm 1 & 2). Then move the middle (dimm 2) stick to the right (dimm 3) and run in dual channel. Find ur max o/c. Then turn cpc on and start at 200fsb and work up. Then when u find ur max o/c with cpc on (in dual channel) decide which gives the best performance: the max fsb with cpc off or cpc on.

If u have trouble with dual channel its the board's fault if u can run nicely in single channel. Double sided ram and cpc enabled can work if you are lucky, but its generally the norm the cpc is off for ds ram. I believe the Kingston ram is double sided even with 256Mb, unlike my twinmos bh-5.

Yeah. CATs 3.1... those make you loose some frames in nature, but the gains you get in the other tests and the higher graphics clocks make up for it...

I tried 3.2, 3.5, 3.7 and 3.1 were the best.

Don't disable it in bios, if you installed windows with that...

Disable it in win2k by going to Systemsteuerung/system/gerätemanager/PC and click on ACPI-Uniprocessor-PC and reinstall its drivers, choose acpi-pc instead... then reboot and you should have apic disabled.

If it does not fix it, you may try to cool your SB better, set vdd to 1.9V and maybe setting pci latency to a higher value (64 or 96... 128) with the help of 8rdavcore - latest beta.

Hi just wondering if anyone has tried the 4-29 bios. If not, do you know what is changed? hehe 4-29 is my bday :-D

[Kant]

Hi,

This is my first post here, I've a DFI Ultra Infinity, bios 1/31, running an XP-M@10*250 with 2*256MB Corsair V1.1 11-2-2-2.
But I've no 3D stable @ this fsb, 3dm2k1 returns to desktop :(

My graphic card is a SUMA TI4200SE, prime is good in tt blend, so I do not understand.

What do i have to do ?

Thx

[Kobalt]

it looks like a vcore issue. Either your chip doesnt have enough vcore, or it cant handle that speed. Or it can be something else, but it is prolly the vcore. Try lowering the multiplier to 9 with the same vcore to see if its the ram or mobo.

[uwackme]

3D stability issue when the CPU runs prime fine.... AGP access timings. Try dropping memory settings to 11,3,3,3,2.5 at the 250Mhz point and test. Also, at 11,2,2,2,2.0 lower FSB till you reach 3D stability point.

To test, 3Dmark is NOT good enough, you can pass it and still not be stable. Download the Farcry demo....or go buy it... and run that for 1-2 HOURS straight without an error. At that point you are sure of 99.9% stability.

If it runs ok with loose timings 3D at 250Mhz, then you know its the AGP access to memory that is forcing you to back off memory speed a bit. You need to bench and decide which is best... 230Mhz x11 11,2,2,2,2.0 or 250Mhz x10 11,3,3,3,2.5 (just ex: #'s).

We all face the issue of all NForce2 bios's have one set of memory timings, rather than seperate CPU vs AGP access timings.

Obviously your CPU access timings are fine at 250Mhz, but are too fast for the AGP-to-memory path..... join the club.

[Kobalt]

so what about the 4-29 bios...i cant find any information on it, and before i go through the trouble of flashing, id just like to know whats changed :)

Mobile CPU recognition, cold boot fixed, compatability for higher latency ram and a random b00rking of the Bios chip were implemented with the 4/29

but i did not gain any extra speed from this bios. :(
and even with this bios it is not possible to run 11-2-2-2-2 for me (testing @ 6-2-2-2-2). and it is no stable to run my khx 3000 bh-5 (2*512mb) in dc @ any clock or voltage. i will test them with memtest 86 if they are still working as they should.
@ sae: do you think a zalman heatsink with a 40mm*40mm is enough for the sb?

Im on 505-T6-121. Still DFI and all NForce2 makers need to solve the high FSB 3D stability....BUT... more data points.

Im on single stick testing, my 2x 512M BH5 KHX3000K2/1G will do 230Mhz 11,2,2,2,2.0;1,3,3,3,2,1,3;eefd;6/15/6/15/6/15 in dual channel max for 3D stability. No dropouts, etc all 100% perfect for a zillion hours straight, memtest#5 prime, 3Dmark, Farcry, etc etc.

Same ram, one stick at a time....250Mhz flawlessly.

BTW I need my toaster-sig, who do I send the snaps too.

In dual channel both sticks do 250Mhz flawlessly until.... 3D, anything having the AGP bus do AGP accesses at 250Mhz dual channel causes failure. All 2D benches, software, etc works like a charm, hours on end but 3D....clunk.

Thing is, the 3D works like a charm at 250Mhz in SINGLE CHANNEL mode with either stick. So there is something about the timings setup of the AGP accesses that pisses off dual-channel. The CPU accesses work fine.

BTW, Im APIC on, 8x, Fastwrites, SBA enabled, and 96 AGP latency.

Awesome to see sound/lan/etc flawless at such high FSB's... great BIOS .....AMDMODDEV and Boyz!

I assume you have CPC off? How would we be able to change agp stability? OSKAR sometimes reads DFI forums and you maybe could open a thread about that in the OC section there :)

I could do that pifast 32m stable and 3dstable using dual channel, max timings (incl. CPC) and apic with my old board... (R.I.P.) :(

[uwackme]

Hi SAE...

Think about the memory controller as a DUAL CPU controller. Your mobile athalon is ONE of the cpus, and your AGP card is the other.

It is a special purpose CPU but it accesses memory just as the Athalon does.

Well, those accesses are governed by timing settings, just like the Athalon accesses. I would "hope" NVidia broke them out as seperate settings, but WE only get access to one set of timings.... which are meant for the CPU, but what exactly gets used for the AGP we dont know.

This is probably something Oskar has already dealt with somewhat, since DFI gets higher 3D stable FSB more easily.

But perhaps he needs to go a little further in the loosening of the AGP stuff so more of us can get 250Mhz 3D stable with tight CPU/memory timings. As it is, we have to back off in general to make the AGP accesses happy. So this is where Oskar can help.

Ultimately give us another page full of memory timings, etc :D

Hehe. uwackme, pal. I already read your postings about that issue :thumbsup: You seem to know your stuff well :)

But my older board could do 264 3dstable... (at last several times through 3dm01)... without the apic problems I am experiencing now. :(

Those China boards are cr*p IMO... I need a Taiwan one to survive till I can afford an a64 3500 and S939 (630euros atm).

Anyone giving me one... ? :D

[uwackme]

Yes, I have 2 Taiwan boards here... LP and Inf. Microcenter.com has older stock on these apparently, so you are pretty sure of getting a TW board.... at least in the Cambridge Ma store here.

Believe me, after all the ATI cards that have past through my hands for freinds/family, Im with you on the China QA issue. Some really bad cases of cold-solder joints, etc.

My INF is 3D stable at 235Mhz so far... Ill creep up on it.

I need to get some baby SMD resistors to do the VCore changes, and Im out of 50K (SB vdd) pots, plus I need a 200K to do Vdimm.

I want to do the mods, even if I dont actually turn the pots for increases, at least they will be there if I need them. Im dying to switch over but need to get this running 100% perfect... too much of a pain tearing down the fnished system to mod.

Might even consider getting another 80G HDisk to try a 4X raid0 experiment....peg that PCI bandwidth to the wall :D

I still need Raptors for myself, I luv them on my brothers machine.

A ti4200 will often get you higher... it does not draw this much power from the system... especially at my clocks.

Hey. I would order one if I could... but I am in Germany. That's a problem. They don't have any Taiwan boards left here it seems. :(

I need a TW board... my Chinas one does not respond to the sb vdd mod, it lags when vdimm mod is connected and is overall unstable at high clocks... (fsb & cpu) Moreover it corrupts the bios more often.

I am frustrated since I know what I could do on my TW board... :(

This is not a problem of power, but of agp timings :slobber:

[uwackme]

Ugh that sux. Not responding to the SB mod, must be a real dog of a chip. By lags, what do you mean? Sporatic response in 3D?

Ive been gaming a bit with ONE stick of BH5 in at 250Mhz..... no sound or lan troubles at all....AmericasAr,y beats on sound and lan and would drop out quickly before going to the 505-T6-121 bios on the LPuB, the INF didnt get a chance to ride anything but this bios ;-)

Im testing each stick alone, with wide range of drivestrength and slew settings. All is based on:

11,2,2,2,2.0;1,3,3,3,2,1,3;eefd

250Mhz x10, 1:1, 66Mhz agp, 1.8V agp, 1.7V Vdd, 1.85Vcore, 3.3Vdimm

Takes forever to test each setting. Do you want me to try and track down a TW board?

The lagging I was referring to is like the mouse/the whole system 's not responding for about 2-4seconds when moving the mouse while opening apps or just moing the mouse too fast. It's really annoying :mad: But it only seems to happen when the Vdimm mod is connected. Weird it is.

P.S. Sent you a PM :)

No. I would say never change/mod a running system without problems... :rolleyes: With the TW board it did not help any, with this current China one it's the same :(

I have a 123W TEC on the NB, it's a 15.4V one at 12V and it cools down the board well, hehe. But it also seems to have no effect on the China board. (besides I can run everything at 1.7Vdd ;) )

Should be enough, but to make sure everything's cool put a small fan there, too :)

[uwackme]

That is somthing I havent seen yet... mouse jumpies.... I assume a plain PS/2 mouse this was on?

I did actually... and it freaked me out, just as I installed the INF for testing.....turned out to be the wireless mouse battery :D What timing.

On the Vdimm-mod connected thing, perhaps its electrical noise vs the way you are doing it? I use 30ga solid Kynar rework wire for all mod's and keep the length as SHORT as possible, looks to be a 1/2" max length on each run, glue the POT to the cap next to the little square controller chip...which NEEDS a heatsink on it BTW. Position that sink so that the resistor for the mod isnt overlapped. Grab the ground on the "EC54" missing capacitor mounting hole. If the mere presence of the pot in the circuit throws off the stability, I dare say the Vdimm circuit is out of balance at high FSB....maybe near some overvoltprotection point, or just at the edge of the stable operating window of the regulator. IE: there is more to switching regulator stability then just the output voltage.

How is anyone getting 3D stability beyond 230-ish Mhz? Ive got some buttkickin ram here and 230Mhz 2x 512M @3.2V is the best it will do.... though each stick ALONE does 245Mhz with the same specs. Hell of a drop for engaging dual-channel (and 16 more chips load on the control lines).

Nice thing with this latest bios..... 245Mhz signle stick, not a peep of trouble lan/sound/mouse/usb.

When I speak of stability, I mean HOURS of FarCry/AArmy/Everquest in the most demanding circumstances, plus prime stable for HOURS, and memtest test#5 stable for 100+ passes error free before we even both to go to WinXP/2K.

Funny thing, my ram does NOT scale down? 11,3,3,3,2.5 just doesnt wanna yeild any real improvement, where as on my CH5 it used to be good for 5-10Mhz more FSB.

[SAE]

Yeah. Plain old MS Intellimouse optical on PS2 port...

And the vdimm mod's only interfering with something with the newer bioses... I am at 1-21 now and that seems to be the only one the board likes :( And with that I cannot up the fsb through software... Locks up quickly.

Did you try slot 1 +3 combined. Those were the best slots for my KHX3200, and always put the best stick in slot 3.

BH-5 often does weird thing as it did on my old TW board... at T(RC) 9 T(RFC) 12 is was stable, at higher settings (slower) it wasn't... lowering timings did not gain me sth, too...

I am currently gaming Splintercell 2 at 11.5x255 and it's working well so far. But that's not satifying as it should do much higher clocks stably :(

[Lastviking]

Some info from me..

Runed a Xp-m 2400(35w , Aqyha "Bad stepping") @9x259Fsb 24/7 without problems (cpu interface:optimal = not losing sound,usb).

changed it for a Xp-m 2400(35w,IQZFA) tried to run 250fsb+ but failed mouse looked and sound with (cpu interface:optimal)

Changed bios to "B505-C18" the looking problem disipered but sometimes the compter crashed... it´s time to test a new one know again.. Tec will help you to raise higher fsb in clockgen but i don´t know 24/7 speed. (Taiwan boards).

The LP board is wierd.. Maybe i try a AN7 and keep the best LP board.. AN7 geeting stronger and stronger..


4-29 bios -> have cas 3 settings = default = bad if you don´t have any cas 3 sticks to change the timing. bh5 cant run cas 3

That's helluva variety of settings... do you set the AGP things with 8rdavcore? :)

[uwackme]

Yep, was using 8rdavcore version 0.8.7.

WOuld like to find the AGP bus latency in WPCREDIT so I can do it automatically on startup. I know the AGP controller latency is bus#2dev#0Func#0 offset 0D.

I backed off it though, to default and still stable, so I dont really need it.

I need to research the "6,5,6,3,3,5,6" to find WHICH one(s) were responsible for the boost.... could be very valuable information for Oskar, in tracking down high FSB agp stability.

For cooling, I like the idea of dimm1 and dimm3 better than 2,3. An added bonus.

Anyone know how to set MBM5 up properly for the DFI? seems to not be quite there.

Its confirmed, I put my brothers machine up, changed to the same settings, runs 240Mhz x10,5 3D stable like a champ....was stuck at 230Mhz previously.

Not sure the AGP thing is needed anylonger, but agp controller latency is 96 in the bios now. Bus is back to default 32.

Maybe Oskar can put both inthe bios menu's...and PCI too ;-)

You should open and read it... the upper section of the file is the description of it... :)

AGP latency should be set to 96 to 255... 255 is the fastest, but the AGP could take and hold the bus for a very long period of 255 clock cycles... could also be negative...

Timing-wise DFI NF2 boards are really picky. And each board likes other settings :(

USB (peripherals at all) ain't in a very stable condition with the 1-31 in my experiences. It always drops peripherals very quickly... Use 1-21 to get stable peripherals.

Ok then....I try 1-21 later...but a lot people saying in this forum that 1-31 would be the best OCing BIOS....will the 1-21 decrease OC or it is vary between board too?

1-21 won't decrease your oc as it's more stable than 1-31. 1-31 uses the 133MHz romsip table for 200MHz. So it's way tighter in chipset timings, but decreases overall stability badly (at least with CPC on)

1-21 has probably a lower max clock in fsb (due to apic), but stability at max is superiour.

My ram did up to 267 11-2-2-2-2.0-9-12 at 3.45V on the good (dead) LP B. 264 was benching stable (at over 3GHz). Best clocks I achieved with multi 12x and 260 fsb though.

A mobo cannot die of too high fsb, but of too much modding and reworking :(

Ive converted to Infinity.... weird, MBM gets the -5V wrong? I even tried the DFI voltage.ini file, same. Also, does this board measure Vdimm? the "core1" reading is the same as "core0". on Abit it was Vdimm.

Other than that everything is great.

You talking about BH or CH-5 now? :)
And you mean you can boot with 11-2-2-2-2-9-12? and fsb was..?

I've seen 270Mhz in windows@ 5-2-2-2, but it freeze in a minute.
260 is quite stable@ 260Mhz, 5-2-2-2-2-12-15/3,4V screen (http://www.hot.ee/temp5/ch5@260MHz.JPG)

My bh-5... I also was in win2k at 270 but with apic off. my later benches were all with apic on and using 8rdavcore to up the clocks as I did not boot higher than APIC would let me into windows. Now you are saying you could get into windows at ...-12-15.
But you said "9"-15 before... at these settings (the first matters) I could not get into windows. My fsb was 264+ benching stable as you can see in my sig ;)

Hi,

I want to do the Vcore mod, but I don't know exactly what I have to do, I found this :

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/kant/images/dfi_ultratotalmod.jpg

But this isn't very clear, I want to have min 2.1V stable.

THX

[SAE]

You just won't get 2.1V stable (minimum) as these boards can give 2.08V stable max... and that's with all the mods.

The vcore mod involves soldering a 47/50k pot between leg 7 and ground. That's it. VSense does nothing. Vdrop stabilizes the voltage at the expense of a lower overall vcore (minimizes drop). OCP increases the current limit through the mosfets to the cpu.

[Kant]

Oki i think 2.08V with a R404a mach II and my mobile cpu is fine ;)

I tried the vcore mod but it wasn't stable, I think i will try the vdrop.

Thx SAE, you see Nventiv will be repurchased, that's cool for us :D

APIC decreases 3D performance... it gives more stability with high vcore at high fsb, with raid cards/SATA... USB, sound...

Yep, was using 8rdavcore version 0.8.7.

WOuld like to find the AGP bus latency in WPCREDIT so I can do it automatically on startup. I know the AGP controller latency is bus#2dev#0Func#0 offset 0D.

I backed off it though, to default and still stable, so I dont really need it.

I need to research the "6,5,6,3,3,5,6" to find WHICH one(s) were responsible for the boost.... could be very valuable information for Oskar, in tracking down high FSB agp stability.

For cooling, I like the idea of dimm1 and dimm3 better than 2,3. An added bonus.

Anyone know how to set MBM5 up properly for the DFI? seems to not be quite there.

Yep uwackme, good job.
With my TI4200, I'm always not stable in 3D, the max I can do is the 6 first test in 3dm2k1... I can't pass an entire bench...

Fsb 250Mhz, Vdimm 3.3V, prime for hours, memtest and co are ok, latest bios from DFI (19/6)

I'd like to know how set the extra timings, cause I think they are responsible for the 3D stability, but I'm not able to find the correct timings.

Hope it will be better with my new hercules 9700pro...

No! It's the other way around...

APIC on is fastest but less stable with all peripherals... but APIC enabled gives you a nice boost in 3D performance.

[FlyingHamster]

can someone clear me up on what wpcredit tweaks u guys were talking about on page 7. are there any good ones I can try that could help out my overclock?

[uwackme]

I think we were discussing AGP controller latency and AGP bus latency...8rdacore can diddle them..and the bios can diddle one, we were just talking about finding out what the address was for the other.

I am using the 5-5 modded by EvilouS atm... I am testing but I have no clue what 's the best one. I am actually sure that everything with the 1-31 romsip is no good for me.

highest stable fsb I have seen is around 260, you never would have a stable 265 or more because of the limitations of the board/chipset... :(

Nice fsb BTW :D

what's the difference between 1-21 and 5-5 Evilous?...

I think 1-31 is no good for me either...always gave instability on FSB 250 using 11-2-2-2-2-9-12...I have to do 11-2-2-2-2-13-15 to make it stable on 3,3v with KHX BH5.

But I haven't try the 1-21 yet :D

Does FSB 265 is save?...will it kill the NB or the mobo???

[SAE]

I always use Winflash. I had to look up the commands in the file... There are more "timid" ;) users only using awdflash here, ain't it?? :D

You can also try the the Alt-F2 bootup flash... just load bios defaults, then put a floppy with the most recent awdflash.exe and the bios file into your floppy and restart. Immediately press Alt+F2 several times till it starts to read the floppy disk. The flashing procedure should begin.

EvilouS' bios allows higher fsb clocks due to better APIC optimizations that followed the 1-21... but it's way more risky to flash any bios newer than the 1-31 (4-29, 5-5), but there are also the new 6-1 and 6-19 to try (6-1 has the 1-31 RS). These should have less cold boot/warm boot issues and allow you to clear cmos without facing a no boot scenario... ;) (4-29, 5-5 did not load acceptable timings for bh-5 modules as default, 4th LED was lit)

Any fsb is safe as long as it's stable and you don't pump 50% higher voltages/currents in your board ;)

what points on the infinity can i test for actual vcore voltage with a multimeter? also, 2.1v is the most i want....what would be the fixed resistor value for that?

I managed to get 2.15v stable with a vmod on my Infinity without a vsense mod, but do not take that as Gospel as any hardened DFI abuser will tell you that everysingle board has a personality of its own. I'm not fobbing you off, but you would be best off finding out for yourself what is best for your board and I'm sure others will agree with me.

p.s. I didn't measure the resistance of my vmod at 2.15v as that would have required de-soldering the mod.

You can get that stable maybe... but you mustn't have a high fsb at the same time (>245MHz).

Dunno bout the measure points for vcore, unfortunately. But iirc it could be read at the leg of the toroid you connect the vdroop mod to... rightmost choke, upper leg. But I am not 100% sure.

Score seems bugged... at least for this low fsb... hmm. I will see. I am also registered there, but I gave up when I saw, there's no option to submit my scores... (no internet on my benching rig, also none in future). But I'll try the bench anyway.

[centaur]

yeah, that's a little buggy
sometimes the proggy don't update your rig when you submit a new score...... so it can be that you have 4200mb with 230fsb or somethim like that. and it's so easy to "cheat"

on topic: i found out that the Northbrigde don't like high temps. i couldn't find something about this. i put some ice in my water and can go 5mhz higher with the same voltage.

Yeah. Could increase performance... try the 6-19 :D

There are the extra timings (7), the AGP latency setting, less boot probs... set AGP latency to 128+ to get better 3d stability/performance. With the additional timings you'd have to experiment... lowest possible for me are 0-0-3-3-0-0-3. But it's not that stable over 250 fsb with cpc/apic on.

cpc is on, timings maxed out, and apic is off. i can't find any differences between apic=on/off on my sys. "on" is maybe a little bit slower in the mem-performance but a can't go higher with the fsb
then i cooled down my water with some ice and get 5MHz more. i'm wondering myself

APIC OFF is much worse in 3d performance in my experience... I just compared 3dmark and Far Cry though...

Dram ratio China board 1:1, TW board Auto (both best options each).

AGP at 75MHz, 80MHz works too. AGP lat at 255, sometimes testing 128 to 255...

Those boards are so ... argh... I cannot recommend anything else for stablility as each board I had liked different settings... arrrr... I hate it ;)

[FlyingHamster]

thnx. wut does changing my agp latency to 255 do? it seems so much out of proportion compared to the default 24. could I possibly harm any hardware?

and does 75Mhz help with your overclock or increase performance, or both?

75-80MHz is faster, more stable and just better for me ;)

The default value for AGP contoller latency is 32. It sets the time the AGP controller can own the bus... other devices have to wait. Could be bad for raid controllers/wavetable soundcards. But no harm, just sound errors or worse performance. But you'd notice it. When I was running raid0 I did not have problems...

i want to do the vcore mod with this potentiometer. (attached image)

does it make a difference which legs i use on it?

also, having it set to the middle position shouldn't raise my voltages should it?

[uwackme]

Dont use one turn pots for mods.

use 10-15 turn pots... DIGIKEY.COM is the place to find them.

Think about where you want the knob vs the pins too, based on where you will be mounting the pot..... pick the best orientation from the choices they have.

[SAE]

Yeah, with these 1-turn buggers you can easily fry something with shaky hands :lol:

[HaLDoL]

I did the vcore mod pin 7 to ground: I can only reach around 2V benchmark stable (measured at the back of the toroid). Do I need the OVP mod (pin10 to ground) for more? Other suggestions?

And at what resistance does the vdimm begin to increase? I begun at 200K and slowly dropped to 40K. There was no increase in vdimm. Or could it be my mod isn't properly attached?

About Vcore mod:

Vsense does nothing yet... noone was able to figure out how DFI got it to work and how to get around. But maybe the vdrop and the OCP mods would gain you something. Then you also could try to set the vcore to 1.825V in bios, then upping the voltage to 2.06V or so using the pot (pin7).

About the Vdimm:

It seems to be not connected. I get 3.55V at around 100K. Maybe you attached the wire to the wrong side of the resistor? (should be left side of the resistor looking from the IDE connectors)

[HaLDoL]

OK thanks a bunch :thumbsup: You probably saved me from killing my board

Thank god, not me :lol: ;)

I'll really thank God because my vdimm mod was ok but I was measuring on the wrong mosfet. I measuring my 3.3V line (mosfet at the end of the agp).
God knows how many volts I've feeded my RAM. But all is ok now and I can reach 266FSB. Not what I expected but I still have many biosses and bios settings (especially RAM settings) to try out.

I can bench up to 268 relatively stable... but everything above that is crappy

Too much vdimm seems to worsen things.

The right mosfet is the left one of the three located below the ram slots. you have to measure the back of it (the plate thingy) pointing north when looking at the board in case :)

Yeah, DFI always have a day form too, you'll probably notice. ;)
And the timings are very time consuming to test...

You got it right... with the mods. But vdroop is pin7 to anything variable as well, so you could test for better results with other values... :) (I used 4.75k fixed)

And about the second statement of yours:

No, only the vsense is NOT nescessary, the other mods gain you something.
