Well i got my new board and have been testing it out with some OCZ 3700EB 2x512 and this sucks!

I cant get the board stable with a FSB higher then 260x8 or 9 multi. Using cas 3,3,8,3 timings with a vdimm of 3.1v. I've even tried using 3,4,8,4 just to see for kicks and nope.

The highest HTT i can get is the same i could before with some corsair BH-5 at 308 somewhat stable.. 3d benchable and looked prime stable but it will reset outa nowhere. 310 wants to run but i'll get a blue screen durring 3dmark..

I've been using only the 5/14 bios since they were my fav last time..

No i believe my CPU 3400+ C0 is holding me back since it cant do 2500MHz on this board like it could on the old 150 chaintech with 1.7v.. But i was really hoping for like 270+ x9 with this ram.. Has anyone got over 267FSB?

Same for me here. With the 8x or 9x multi the board runs like crap. Can't get my mem or HTT as high as with the 10x multi. Looks like a board issue, since the LDT multi doesn't matter at all.

I can get over 270 easy with the 10x, 280 is no problem, but I'm running 270 x 10 24/7 to save my sys a little ;) (One too many hardware blowouts in the past)

This is with 3.0 Vdimm btw and 2 x 256 MB instead of 2 x 512. How's the 2T timing working for you with the 2 x 512 ??

since my cpu is c0, cant use 2T

heh i cant use the 2T either since mine is a C0 revision as well :(

i think that c0 revision work very bad on this board... as for the ram, ill mod my board tomorrow to 3.3v vdimm so i can use my 2x512 BH5 with good htt

Jeff, they are password protected again.

Damn... didn't do anything this time. :confused: I'll look into it in a little while... sorry 'bout that.

Can anyone else confirm that they are being asked for a password? I just looked and they aren't restricted in any way on the server. I also connected to my server via a proxy and was able to download them.

Just want to be sure it's a problem on my end before I look into any further.

TIA. :toast:

jeff,

i could download them just fine.

hmm, my CO overclocks by 411mhz over the stock speed on air cooling... nothing wrong with the board and CO IMO.

ahh, it appears that they work now. Never mind.

Ok, good then.

If it happens again... I'll try moving them to a different server to see if that helps. :up:

I'm not seeing the 5-14 bios? I see a 5-12...

The 5-14 bios can be had at the USA epox web site.

no 5/14 bios...

heh i guess someone at epox dont want people to use the best bios.

Found it at the German web site.. Heres the addy.. top of page.

Edit: Well not quite the top but a little down.. For some reason they wont allow you to link right to the zip.

ftp://ftp.epox.com/downloads/BIOS/

Check it out. All available biosses from epox. Search for kda34514 ;)

Right here, and thanks!

hi its me again

does anybody know if an amd64 mobile works on the epox KDA3+/J

if not do they work in the new dfi infinity board?

thx 4 ya help

seEn andL

andL64: no mobile support yet as far as I know.

Is the kda34514-bios considered to be the best OC-BIOS right now?

Edit: And one more thing. My 8KDA3J is on RMA right now, should I ask them to replace it with a 8KDA3+ instead? Of course I'll have to pay them some extra. The reason I was wondering is because I'll probably get a S-ata disk soon and I thought that using the J-versions sataports would decrease my FSB-clocking potential as the J-version only has the sata ports integrated on the chipset. And does the heatsinks for the mosfets actually help?

Or am I wrong?

heh wait for the DFI.. THis is my second epox 8KDA3+ and it sucks..

How much does it suck? Max stable HTT?

Also, I live in Sweden and if I'm lucky the DFI will arrive within 3 months. Some of the companies which imported DFI to Sweden has also stopped that because the RMA-percentage was extremely high with DFI's nForce2 board.

The weird thing about this board, is that any HTT above 201 is unstable. I can get mine to 330, and the PCI lock is working, and it will run prime95, and memtest all day, but 3d applications either crash to the desktop, or cause BSODs.

Hey, look at my sign. You must have been unlucky with your board. Figures in my sign are primestable.

Edit: Maybe because you have clawhammer?

i can run my clawhammer C0 stepping 3200+

224x10
245x9
275x8

this is all no problem wit HTx4 so the board isnt so bad... i think
but my cpu only does 2250mhz max then i ll get bluescreens i got a 350W chieftec psu and an oc ed radeon 9800 pro but i got the cpu since nov 2003 and in 2 diffrent boards it only did 2250 max....

i can set as well 1,7 and more.... but also bluescreen

the board is ok i think i could get over 300 if i ll get a better cpu and the only real bad thing is no multi under 8x now!

thats crap...

as well i need more vdimm 2,76 - 2,78 isnt enough my bh-6 chips ran quiete good @ this on 220-224 cl2-2-2-5 or littl higher in win its stable for benches too but when i start doom3 no chance....
