Anyway....here is the old.

And now the new.

Nice gains here :)
nice to see new bios improvements
when you say newer TCCD that you and Angrygames have, which model ?
Wow...nice imporvement. DFI seems to making all the right adjustments to go along with the best in class feature set they already have. This DFI mobo will definitely be in my future. Thanks for all the great info :toast:
Angry has 4200EL Plat which came later than the build i have here, which means he has much later week codes.Quote:

I will forward the info m8...thanksQuote:

and at what voltage do you run them at, tony?
awesome news on the bank interleave. Thanks for that.Quote:

Me think 4200 Platinum is the way I will go, cooler and no need to generate heat with the vdimm bridge at 5 volts.
reseller is going to be pissed 3rd time I change my memory choice, LOL....oh well good outcome of that now he' got the entire line of OCZ modules in stock...hehehehehe
Bigtoe, have you got a chance to test the the stability of the 5v rail with this new bios? I was pretty dissapointed to hear that there was stability issues with it.
I still can't get over 270, i tried 3.5+V with no gain.Quote:

The 4200 is pretty sweet ram and does well on a good board.Quote:

BH-5 running at 264 MHz stably with 3.3V of VDIMM is indeed insane, and reason enough for me to purchase one of these new DFI motherboards once they're available! With this kind of result, 270+ should be possible with 3.6V+ of VDIMM.
But the comparison is unfair if all the variables (namely VDIMM) did not remain constant across both test platforms (NF2/NF4 - 240MHz/264MHz).
Bigtoe?
I'm really interested in these results, and am extremely curious what kind of VDIMM was needed for 264 MHz 2-2-2 with this board, and your BH-5 :)
TIA bro :)
I notice that on these boards that the sound system only has coax digital out.
Any mention anywhere about an optical SPDIF connector?
Or if not, does anyone know if the optical SPDIF and coax SPDIF have the same
pins if I were to bust out the wand of soldering and not care about the warranty?
My whole setup is based around optical in/out and so if the built in sound is
good I'd rather use that than have to go with CL's latest cash cow.
With my board I have been useing the 5V rail running my VX all day at 3.75V with no problems.Quote:

not 100% sure but i don't think it's coaxial it's RCA. I read something about another adaptor to connect on the mobo around the sound thingie in order to be optical, which I also would like to have. No mention on what part number to get in order to obtain optical however.Quote:

Can someone quick clear up with me if my fortron 530w is going to work either with or without a 20-24pin adapter? It seems there's different answers floating around. Can someone give me a definative one?
Thx
i can't find an optical out....only coaxQuote:
