8/23, and 8/30 have been fine for me. Quite a boost in ram OCability but not much of a boost in FSB.
Heartfixer can you break 400fsb without setting the PCI freq to 120?
my board do not boot whit any other bios after the 7/31 i tryed evrysing and nothig and this is my second board my first one just caught fire :D
i took out my other stick or ram and tried maxing out all the voltage options in the bios, still wont boot past 360! damn! im leaning towards asus now. the dfi worked wonders with my PD 930. but with conroe, it sucks big timE!
Peeps down at dfi! better come up with something asap or you'll have a run for your money!
On those 8xx bioses, set in SPD's your timings, then for the next two fields after the refresh rate thingy, 12 then 10, and set all the drive strengths to 3x.Quote:

now, will someone please tell me how to turn off the freakin EIST. with my measily overclock (355*9) and the EIST kicking in, i get clocks lower than an e6300.
cpu feature>c1e disable.
raju
my c1e's turned off already. but everytime i check cpu-z or the system properties, the EIST feature seems to be on. ive already configured the power saving options in XP but the stupid eist wont go.
search for the crystlcpuid thread on disabling speedstep...
you have to change a couple of registers to do it.....
I leave it on, my board steps up to 375fsb on the 9x multi when under load, though for ultimate stability, you'll want to turn it off...
mine should step up to 355 but it doesnt,
i got the crystal cpuid to work, but my problem now is how to enable it each time i boot because it goes back to x6 after booting.
Thanks Raju!
you'll have to go through the process every time I'm afraid...
this week hopefully my DDR2 Maximiser will arrive, so hopefully I'll be able to test this board to see if it improves overclocking. ATM real stability level for me is 375 1:1, I can run 4:5 but sometimes I get lockups in XP and games. Let's see if the Maximiser can help....
I asked Hi-Pro for a picture of the mod required to use the Maximiser, he obliged
http://www.hipro-tech.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=5#5
lets see what happens, though looking at the info Tony provided on the Intel chipset the max fsb is limited due to the NB setup through DFI's bios. The only real way to get a higher fsb is for the 1333fsb strap to be manipulated, alas as this is an Infinity, DFI are not overly keen to make the board real fast as to upstage the upcoming R600 chipset boards or Lanparty range...

Raja
Yeah I suspect they don't want to make this board to good.
Otherwise it will upstage the Lanparty boards. Hopefully someone (cmon tony) will mod the bios sometime in the future.

looks like im going back to asus. its my first time to try dfi and im not happy
I can see why you would be disssapointed as its not the best board.
But there is no way my faith in DFI is going to change as my NF4 ultra D was the most incredible board period!
Cmon DFI do it for me again its been to long since that magical experience

i love that
yeah! dfi people! show us some lovin'!Quote:

You don't need the DDR2 maximiser, the voltage is enough for the RAM.Quote:

I noticed a strange thing, if I run 1:1 the board bails out at about 340-350-360MHz FSB, depending on multiplier. The RAM is not guilty, these 8000ULs can do about DDR750 3-2-2-x @2.4V and DDR1040@5-4-4-9...
I've got c1e disabled & also the 2 things under it:Quote:

The maximiser is not just a voltage booster, it provides rock steady low ripple, low noise voltage that is steady right upto a very high current draw, I think people confuse it's overall abilities with the OCZ DDR booster, which was primarily aimed at providing more voltage than the motherboard could. The Infinity's vdimm voltage section is not that great, already we can see 512mb ram out performing the 2 gig kits, also there is a vdroop upon load which can be seen whilst running Orthos, remember the higher the ram speed and overall ram size, the greater the need for current and low impedence at high frequency. There is no way the motherboard can match the current delivery specs of the Maximiser, testing will tell the true difference.
High frequency noise on the voltage line effects overclock stability and ability. That's why we see the top end boards using solid capacitors, they offer far lower impedence at higher frequencies and also have a longer life span due to the abscence of the liquid electrolyte which dries up over time in standard electrolytic capacitors..

you seem to have the best oc for the e6600, could you post your bios settings. i have a template at the previous page. thanks!!! =)
Thats odd. mine wont post when it's disabled.Quote:
