Zeus, the first kit I asked is the one you say.
If you read it is: EL Platinum Edition PC3200 and near the latency you can read Rev. 2
I keep having problems with trying to find the right settings that work and are stable. I haven't had much time to play with it though and I do plan to tonight. But what are some HTTs and RAM FSBs combos that are working for other people?
I want to be able to atleast hit 2.4GHz *stable of course* with my RAM at the max with 1GB in. I want to be able to run that 24/7. I do have air cooling only though but I should be able to I believe.
Here is something when you play around with bios.
I have a hard time to remember what i change and such.
And going from one cas to another change alot of settings sometimes.

Ok, because the non rev.2 are CH-5 chips. ;)Quote:

You guys all using the 4.0vdimm bios?
Hi folks,
please help me out with some questions i got about the DFI Mobo.
I heard rumors that the speed of this board is kinda bad @ stock-settings.
Has someone of u guys figured out if this board really performs bad in relation to other nforce3 mobos.
Is that maybe the answer to the great HTT achievements u guys get with that board?
It would be nice if u could clear some things up thx a lot :)
For some the DFI might be a winner, but the one i got is not good at all. If i try to run 2.9vdimm or more, its unstable. With 2.8vdimm i can do 255 3-3-2-6, but with 2.9 or 3.0v i cant even run Super-pi 1M. 3.1vdimm gives me BSOD if i try to run 240 or higher.
Im using a OCZ EB 3500Platinum, and its working just fine on KV8Pro and K8NS.
SmartGuardian reports; 3.15v (3.3c) 4.8 (5v) and 11.8 (12v) but my multimeter reports 3.4, 5.3 and 12.4v (From molex and aux)
Im a bit dissapointed. :(
One or two others here in Norway have the exact same problem.
hows your psu? i didint notice what you were using in your sig. i know that with a week 3.3v rail your memory ocs could become unstable....Quote:

I am having so much problems with my PSU right now. I turned up my 12-Volt rail but it also turns by 5-Volt up as well. But now I can't get them back to where they were. Everytime I get my 12 right the 5 is at 6-Volts. It doesn't make any sense.
cant you turn the 12v til its right then if your 5v is at 6v cant you just turn the 6v back down to 5v by adjusting the 5v rail after correcting the 12v rail? see what im trying to say? good luck :toast:
perc.
nope, not happening.... when ever I adjust the 3.3v rail it also is adjusting the 5v, 12v, and the 3.3v rails. It seems like it fine tunes the pot that is supposed to be the 5v, and 12, rail adjustments. Iam really phreaking lost here....
Which pot are you turning, i've had between myself and customers computers probably 25 fortrons, and i usually tweak them all. I've never seen the 3.3 adjustment changing anything but.Quote:

I think after that thread here, and OCforums. 2 weeks later after everyone started snatching the fortrons up from newegg and such, and Newegg was even running out of stock on them. Everyplace raised the price on the $10 at least. Supply and demand and so on!!!!!
Everyone know's im a fortron fanboy. I had to use my fortron 530 in a dual Xeon rig i sold to a customer last week, i have another one on the way, But until them in my around 3ghz A64 rig, Im actually using a never had the side off the fortron "STOCK" AURORA 350watt fortron.
Pics, Dont laugh at the hacked up case. It's better than proping it up on it's side, I order the Vapo LS on Wednesday and it got here Friday, Fast ass Ground shippping. I also ordered a Lian LI PC65 case to go with it and it didnt come as fast as the LS did!!! But im going to try a few cases i have here.
So i doubt there's one of you that would let a Vapo LS sit idle and im doing a lot of MB testing this weekend. So i cut up a cheap Micro Case for easy Access and bolted it down to the Vapo LS.
Here's some pics using only a 350watt Fortron with no pot adjustment. 290 HTT 1:1 memory!! Im using Crucial 3200 Ballistix memory So i dont need to adjust the memory over 3volts. I do have a OCZ booster but it's not needed, I have the 4v bios on my DFI. Also in the pics is a Pic with a Red arrow pointing @ the 350watt Fortron, and a 3ghz screenie. I can Light bench, Sisoft or a small super pi, But no 3dmark and such. And ugly case pics.
Im surprised this Vapo LS hits -60 unloaded and it's a Revision 1 LS. not a Revision 2 that's supposed to get colder.
I've seen most of the problems with My MSI NF3 and others mostly because of Memory when they finally tracked it down and switched to different sticks. I've got 4 sets of BH5's here. 2 sets my MSI and DFI absolutly hate and the board wont overclock with a dam when they are in.Quote:

I refused to belive i had a memory problem. I even sent back my First MSI 250 K8 Neo board. And got another one and had the same problems. I couldnt get past 225fsb 1:1 or even using memory dividers and dropping back to 166 or 133!!!
Then for the hell of it i stuck in my Geil PC4200's and dam if i couldt hit 300fsb 1:1 out of the board, And yes i have screenies if you need me to find them. Then i pulled my 2x 256 BH5's out of another rig and the MSI loved them 260 1:1 all day long @ 2-2-2 settings. Seems my MSI board didnt like 512 sticks!!!
a month ago i ordered Crucial Ballistix PC3200's and some Ballistix 4200's which by the way are the same sticks just the 4200's cost more but the same chips underneith, They just set up the SPD different. Thse sticks will do anything you want them to, If you want low latency 3200's or high latency 4200, just set the timings, This is all around memory.
222 up to 240fsb, 2.5-2-2 up to 270fsb and set it @ slack 2.5-3-3-7 up to 300fsb. I've bought 5 sets of the ballistix in the last month for mine and customers computers. This is the New BH5's in my book. Way cheaper and faster than my beloved and expensive Corsiar which i'll never buy again now.
Here's my smart Guardian PIC's. Im pretty sure it's reporting the CPU temps wrong!!! but my PS is untouched. I was thinking about using a Antec 3700 Case on top of the LS, but i guess i stick with the one that fits the best and everyone uses and seems to love the Lian Li 65's. Anyone looking for Cheap Antec Cases, Ebuyer.com has Antec slk3700's for $52 plus only $7 shipping. Im sure you all know these cases are usually $85 plus shipping everywhere, and when newegg sells them for $65 they sell out. Just about all Antec cases @ ebyer are in the $50's. I bought 8 SLK 3700's and stocked up!!! You'll spend that much on a generic case after you put a good power supply in it.
3dmark 01, 03 or 05 sucks on my DFI ... PI and Prime i van all time bench without problems but 3dmark close to desktop or bluescreen or something what!Quote:

I dun think so, read the 754 mb round up in Anandtech. The Lanparty is one of the better performer.Quote:

I don't have other 754 so can't help you on this. I'm sure someone here can answer you.Quote:

im getting this board this week and im sure i can pull something out of my sleeve, despite my average ram.
furthest i got was in my sig, wats the fastest way to get a good divider running so my HTT is really high and memory high, cause i dont know how high it can go. also im pretty sure i can do 2.6ghz on my zalman alcu.
I get better numbers than my MSI board, and i can clock higher HTT, also more volt options including chipset voltage!!! I get higher HTT than my MSI used to upon testing and setting the HTT mult to 5x,4x,3x,2,x!!!Quote:

If you set 1,5V for example you can set any Vdimm you like as long as you stay around 0,1-0,15V under your 3,3V ATX voltage.
Hope this helps. ;)
@Ted
thx for your opinion Ted.
@all
What do the other guys suggest?
U all know its something difficult with all that rumors roaming around ;)
In my opinion maybe the amount of config options results in a greater potential of misconfiguration but i dont want to use this as an argument if it isnt part of the truth.
I heard about Voltage fluctuations with this board which are out of normal can u agree with that?
It seems there are not so much disapointed people @ XS like i saw in other forums am i right? :)
I dont' encounter voltage flutuations on mine. First of all you need to ake sure getting a quality PSU > 400W with good 12V rail (>=18A IMHO) if you want to overclock seriously. My Enermax Noisetaker 470W can keep the 12V at 11.77V when 2.6GHz full load, while the former SPI 400W would drop to ~11.5V.
@ted
see man it wasnt just me who had problems with that POS MSI you your self just described the same problems i was having to the "T" .... im so glad this DFI is nothing like that MSI and actualy ocs! i couldnt be happyer with this mb. infact when it comes to 754 platform i wouldnt recomend anything but the DFI for ocing. now i did hear somthing that i dont know if its true or not but. i heard that the DFI at stock settings is slower then other 754mb's anyone hear the same thing? i cant see this mb being slow at any speeds. even though i will admit that with my 3200 clawhammer and the older an50r at 2350mhz was getting 22006k in 3dmark using my 9800pro and with this 3000 newcrapsle and DFI mb oced to 2700mhz is only getting 22067k in 3dmark using the same 9800pro same everything just difernt mb/cpu? now i dont know if this is a driver issue with my 9800pro or that i just need to spend more time tweeking but i would of expected a big ass jump in score with a 300mhz diff in oc....Quote:

peace perc,
dfi is low @ standard timings! u must tweak enouth to find the optimal settings!
with no tweaking i have with 10x250, 37sek in pi! with tweaking i have at the same 10x250, 35sek in pi ;)

To get mine running i have to use dimm3. dimm1 or 2 is no POST.
Looks like i have to try out my BH5, and maybe buy some Ballistixs. Too bad.. this one EB stick can do 270 with 2.97v. I was really hoping to do 300+ with it. Maybe the DDR Booster would do the trick!?
Still, i wonder why the SmartGuardian reports much lover voltage than my PSU delivers. Its an Enhance 450w, and it has proven it selv more than once. I even tried with my Enermax 420 which undervolts the 3.3v rail a little. It delivers 3.25v. Even if the 3.3v line vas 0.15v lower, smartguradian and BIOS reported the same voltage; 3.15v. Something must be wrong.
Yeah, your SmartGuradian CPU temp seems to be it off .. not much tho :P
Zeus: I have had the CPU VID at 1.525 all the time. It must be something else f****ing up my OC. :mad:
Does the Booster make the ram volt more stable ?
I think you just hit the nail on the head. Too many folks just don't want to take the time to learn what works, maybe even too lazy to format, then they blame probs on the hardware. ;)Quote:

i wonder how good these perform? i dont really have much luck with mobo ocing, but im pretty good with grakas :D
@spaceman
Do u really think its that easy? ;)
Well maybe its right to say that the DFI increased internal latencies do make higher clock possible
If this would be true its even true that it makes no performance difference if u can kick your DFI to the max because other nforce3 mobos arent able to reach such high HTTs as the DFI
Well if this is right too than we have to say that maybe the DFI isnt the best board for people who dont have the components to achieve those high HTT/RAM Results.
What do u think?
You will find most BIOS settings of Lanparty available in A64 Tweaker, except a few low-level DRAM settings which is quite critical for a outstanding overclock. Unfortunately neither they are available in other mb at the moment. You may take a look at anandtech's review on Lanparty to see the BIOS options.Quote:

Of course, you are free to choose any S754 or simply just wait for upcoming 939 mb, don't just limit yourself to the Lanparty. As long as you are in the game you still have to invest some time spend some effort on the art of fine tuning.
"SPI 400W would drop to ~11.5V."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
those PS's right now. under full load, the 12v is 12.1, the 5 is 4.95 and the 3.3 is @3.6 (so i can throw some good juice to my BH-5).
they are totally pot adjustable, did you try adjusting the pots????
i hate to see people spending $$$ on something that could have been fixed with a tiny screwdriver and about 10 minutes worth of work.
baldy :rolleyes:
Hey need to let you know that I loved my SPI while it's with my 8RDA+/1800+ which oc to 2.6GHz nicely. But the hard fact is that SPI400-60GN 12V rail only rate for 16A, while the Enermax Noisetaker 470W is talking about 33A! Both my A64 and 6800GT need a A LOT A LOT of 12V. The tiny screwdriver on the pots ain't going to do the magic.Quote:

Has anyone had trouble with the 6800s in this board. If so did you find a fix.
Thanx

Jess or anyone...
I am using your 4.0V mod bios. But I am having some problems with adjusting the mem voltage. When I set 3.2 from bios it works fine, but when I set 3.3V the mem voltage goes to 2.5V, what´s that?
I´ve got OCZ Powerstream and I have tried adjusting lines, but no solution to that problem... Any ideas? thx
Just a thought, did you clear the CMOS after flashing?Quote:

When we get my v12 rail where I want it it puts my v5 rail at v6+. So I am just going to tune it downQuote:

@UGP
thats what i was saying earlyer about turning the 5v rail down after you had the 12v where you wanted it...

Up that :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: bro, im sure shes got DDR533 in here :toast:
How my voltage should I need for 2.4?
And here is a screen shot of what I got so far
As I was typing the word "stable" it rebooted on me lol. But here is a clock I got but wasn't stable...
thats some nice scores!
perc my highest oc is in my sig but board died bfore i got a chance to go higher
are u using 1T? and what are your timings if thats 1T either that board is amazing or you have D5 chips
I got more!!! Hehe...Again not sure if this one is stable lmao.
This is at 270x9.0 1:1 with my RAM
I looked back and found a post bigtoe did.
It helped me out alittle but I can't hit 300FSB with either stick and I can't hit 270 with 512x2. But I am at 250FSB with alittle bit of tweaked from his settings which it isn't bad. Take a look.
EDIT: here is the same settings as well but with 2DIMMS
@bigtoe:
I need some help clocking this RAM alittle please if you could. Thanks.
wow cant wait to see what i get casue i have similar timings!
Sorry to be posting alot in such little time. But I am just trying to let everyone see what I am getting so there is a comparison.
I ran 3DMark03 with my 9800XT at 441/375.
I am at 250x9.0 with memory 1:1 @ 2.5-3-3-0-14-16 512x2
Nice 3DMark03 score with a 9800XT man.
I just ran AquaMark3 and got 51,411! New record for me:D
Link! Click Me!
And here is 3DMark01 @ 22,664
Link! Click Me!
Hey UGP you should set your 9800XT to 472/421, because I got in AquaMark3 a score of 55,708 with GFX: 7,191 CPU: 12,368.
I know my video card is the bottleneck in my system lol.
My card will not run at that lol. I have stock cooling only. If I could I would.Quote:

That's weird I'm using stock cooling also :confused:
Well the Built by ATI clock better than the ASUS :(Quote:

wow I don't get it yours is alot cooler then mine so I don't think it's your cooling. Mine runs at 70 C last time I checked.
Yeah the ATIs do. The problem is it is a piece of crap and I want a new card. Does anyone want to buy a piece of crap video card? LoL! J/K. After I mod it I think it should do well. But I plan to eventually get one of the new 512MB cards next year once they drop in price alittle.
Hey if you have AIM or Yahoo please talk to me there so we aren't having a conversation in the thread LoL!
Same here bro, I got my eye on that ATI code named R500 that's the one with 512MB which comes out later in 2005. The coming R480 should just be 256MB I heard.
Solution is deadeasy, set VID to anything other than auto and make sure your 3.3V ATX is always 0,1-0,15 higher than your VDIMM.Quote:

I got between 4000 and 4100mb/s up to 270FSB. The system seems to be stable but fails prime.
With my 9800Pro I was able to get 6920 3dMark03, 22747 3dMark2001 and 50324 Aquamark (GFX:6627 CPU:10445)
I know I could go much higher with only one dimm but I'm going to use my system 24/7 fully stable with 1Gb, so I don't care how much I can get with only 1 dimm :mad:

here is one more of my cpu score at 2700mhz. this system is scoreing higher then my intel 3.0c did at 4gigs!!
perc,
What memory do you have? I know I should be able to get 270FSB with 2 DIMMs and around 300FSB with 1 DIMM. Try lowering your timings alittle to 2.5-3-3-10...will your memory handle it?Quote:

bldegle2 over at DFI-Street.com used a 120 on his DFI UT and
he said it fits nicely.

Well,
I got my DFI board tonight. Managed to change the chipset heatsink and I'm in the process of installing it on the mobo tray of my CM stacker.
I'll post the results of my 3200+ A64 mobile when it's up.
wahaha I just managed to archieve a small breakthrough with my 3200+ and a pair of 512MB Kingston Hynix D43.
Previously I couldn't even reach 32s when oc to 2.7GHz. Now it's done with 2.6GHz only. And yeah it's 2x512MB and Prime95 stable.
Looks like I don't need TCCD or Ballistix for now. :banana: :banana4: :banana: :banana4:
http://www.hkepc.com/bbs/attachments...s_a64_2606.gif
EDIT: Yeah it's on my DFI of course! :D
very nice score man! im at 2700mhz using a 3000 newcastle and the DFI board and my scores are 35 :( man those 1mb L2 chips realy shine. i dont care what people say i like the 1mb L2 over the 512 L2 they seem to have more power. what did you do to get that score?
peace perc.
Hey Perc, in fact it's the memory timing matters most for SuperPi, not the extra 512KB L2. If you like to see the powre of 1MB L2 you need some CPUmark99 in action. See this pic its self explainQuote:

Are you guys hitting the high of clocks on air?
Here I took a sheet Ubermann posted and edited it alittle bit to my liking with stuff I use. Thought I might post it if someone wanted it.
Im going to be testing out about 4 different sets of BH5's various brands, and 2 different sets of PC4200 in the DFI, Geil and OCZ, to see how fussy it is. for the last week i've only been using my Crucial Ballistix in it @ tight timings 222 up to 260 and slacktimings and high FSB up to 300.
It's crazy such a good board and so fussy on memory.
why would anyone need a 512mb card? only some games use even 256. and the more powerful the gpu is the less memory needed
yo DCR the x800s can go on a much weaker cpu than the 6800s need, ive seen 14k on a 16pipe x800 with a 2700mhz xp-m
i cant wait till i get dfi i may be ordering today! pity i can only afford my budget adata.

@UGP
im using a stock mach1 "phasechange" my temps are about -4c underload. not that great of temps compared to some guys with thier -100c quadzupple cascade units but it gets the job done...
Yeah that is true.
Here is my most recent stable overclock for the time being.
I am going to post every overclock this way so you can see what settings I am using and if you have anything that you may see that could improve performance.
It would be nice if some people could post this way so we can see exactly what settings you are using and what the test results are in one picture.
I have some problem with the 4v modded bios.
I've a 430tp antec psu, sense wire modded.. so I can get 3.8 in 3.3 rail..
when i put 3.3 by bios the system boot, shows me the lanparty logo and then reboot. If I put 3.2 all is ok..
i don't know what i've to do ...:(
If you read my post you'll see that I was runing 2.5-4-4-10. These timings are more relaxed than the 2.5-3-3-10 you say.Quote:

I have the same one.....
1 . CPU VID control must set to voltage other than Auto
if you set auto the mobo reboot when vdimm in over 3.2V

Does anyone have DFI temp readings in windows with a Mach 1 or Mach 2 (R507)??
Thanx, I have a homemade kit and ik get very strange temps..
This memory battle keeps going on and on for me:(
yeah? you like those 3200 rev2 memorys or what? i just bought a pair of eb3500 and im starting to regret it (i havent even got em yet) after reading about those 3200 rev2 series ocz. how are they working in that mb for you? i take it your having your memory problems with the ocz or what? just asking cause i have a friend who was going to buy eb series but now he wants to look into these ocz 3200 rev 2 memorys....Quote:
