Im thinking about taking the vapochill off the cpu and using it on the 6800 instead. The cpu does 2750 mhz on air anyway, not much more with vapochill. The 6800 might benifit more from the coolness.

hey sideeffect can u update your tccd bios so it can have Longer max. async. 8ns => 9ns
Well apparantly 9ns isnt a good setting. It causes random crashes. Not sure if its a memory problem or a chipset problem but if you look around people will say 9ns is bad. I tend to believe them. You never see any high overclocks listed with 9ns async.Quote:

Mine is working again now i think. I took the clamshell off and applied lots of grease but it wasnt that. It was the hose after a bit of usage the insulation was letting a very tiny bit of moisture through and was resting against the power supply :stick:
Well ive wrapped some more foaming around the tube and sealed it with plumbers tape so hopefully it wont happen again. Was only a very tiny amount of moisture.
@ SIDEEFFECT
excuse-me, are you able to modified bios 1.3b6 with 150 and 183 dividers? many people with phase-change system needs vcore +15% and +18,3%
many thanks
bye
no you cant
there isnt a need for 183 when you have a 1/2 cpu divder anyways.
been trying to run prime95 on both my die's but they seem to error out, no actual crashing but prime95 just showing that an error happened, what do you guys think it could be? I tried to game for about an hr and it was very stable and temps were good, maybe I should try tightening my mem timings?
that means u failed Prime :(Quote:

either up the volts CPU/mem relax the mem timmings/HTT/xCPU
has your mem passed memtest86 at the current setting with the cpu multipler turned down (more than one complete pass - five or overnight)
did i tell you guys how much i hate my neo2
and i have officially added my 3200+ into my pile of worst ever purchased hardware...
UNLESS when i get my ultra d it totally opens up and just screams,, this is the worst cpu/mobo combo i have ever ever ever had becuase of this motherboard i have traded away a gig of gskill LA ddr600, a gig of ocz pc3200 plat a gig of ocz oc4000
and im now trading my ocz pc4800 for a gig of corsair xms bh5
i tested the bh5 yesterday and the :banana::banana::banana::banana:e wont even run 250mhz friggin god aweful motherboard is just puking out cause everything to run like crap.
I’ve been thinking about selling my neo2 and 6800GT for a DFI for a while now.
And it’s souly because of the ram problem I have.
So I know how u feel :P
Removed my vapochill and running on air for the first time since i got the board and tested on air. My temperature shows again in bios which is nice. Going to see if i get crashes on air.
If its stable on air i think i will attach the vapochill to the 6800. If anyone has done this before please give me some hints. Im aware ill have to improvise some way of attaching the vapo head. I have the socket 754/939 clamshell and the socket A/370 plug. I think the Socket A attachment would be best to work from.
Seems the 6800 also gets cold temp bug. Dont know why all these sensors cant go below 25 degrees without freaking out. The sensor i use on my vapochill i got free with a fan and it reads -30 degrees quite happily.
but the DFI NF3 still has issues, think I will get a PCIexpress socket to AGP convertor.:cool:
Then jump on the NF4 wagon
Uh... is it that the Neo2 hates a lot of ram, especially the BH-5??? or do you still believe it's bad RAM?

I hope I am wrong, but it wouldn't surprise me to see the DFI AGP having the same problems long term. After all the DFI still has issues and with it being late with its 939 AGP mobo it should off had plenty off time to get the issues sorted B4 selling.
Hello there, but its a bit more like "o Hell" here, as I cant make my freshly assembled MSI KTN 9393 Neo2 X2 3800 combo be nice and play with the onboard IEEE 1394 or anything I put in any PCI slot.
My rig is SP2 dual prime stable from stock to 2.4 Ghz and currently at stock, just reinstalled XP with all updates.
Im using modded BIOS 7025.1.B3 as its the only thing that will give me at least USB 2.0 on this setup.
Ive been waiting a few days to get posting rights here, as you folks seem to actually be discussing technical issues, like APIC.
The Sandra 2005 MoBo report warns me I should have APIC enabled but don't, as it is needed for a mulitprocessor setup and gives more and better IRQs. Is this my likely issue and how do I enable APIC in this BIOS, or what else can I do. Please be gentle-Im not pretending to be an expert and this is my first post here.
Hi Aardman
Well first thing you want to do is disable everything you dont want to use in bios. Like if you dont use either or one of the lan sockets disable it, same with the sata ports and serial ports etc.
This will free up your IRQ's. Dont turn APIC off i very much doupt thats your issue. Enable firewire and when pc boots it has a screen with your devices that are booting. Does it show Firewire there?
Then when you get into windows look at your IRQ assignments and see if firewire shows there.
The Apic options is in the bios erm i think its in advanced chipset features. If you cant find it in the bios what version of the 1.B3 are you using?
Have a question, is ok bios Neo2 MOD1B3 for CPU Opteron 144 soc 939?
Have any experience with this?
Can anyone tell me the difference between bios:
v.1.B3
v.1.B3mod
Look in the changelog.
