I just looked at your screenies bro, how come you dropped it down to 333 mhz instead of 400?Quote:

I posted all ram tweaks in the bios shots.
Nice to see the final board hasn't changed much from what i have here ;)
*update*
it is on zip's site, but there is no means to preorder it.....it jsut says backorder, eta of 9/2
I used the 9/10 divider for the ram.I was able to push higher and achieve greater bandwidth using this divider over 1:1. I have benches also from an OCZ beta tester pushing 308fsb 1:1 on a gigabyte and unbuffered bandwidth is very similar...2600+ MB/s.Quote:

You will find the board even with a ram downclock is very fast and does clock very high.
On a side note, I have a DFI 915 board hitting 299fsb pretty easy with 290 really stable 3:4 on the ram for ddr780.
Looks like they are doing some magic with Intel boards as well now ;)
One thing to nit-pick about, why does everyone put the Northy so darn close to the AGP release tab? Really inconvenient if your Northy HS is oversized. :stick: Oh well, gotta have something to whine about, I guess. ;)
bigtoe, what about the compatibility with the OCZ DDR-Booster ? :)
Yeah why is the NB located there? Seems like a bad spot for it...
And ZipZoomFly needs to :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:ing fix there link!
I'd say that was a better place for the NB (and also that the agp slot is one down), allows for bigger cpu heatsinks like the new XP-120 :)
Well I use the all copper Zalman on mine :D
Anyway, I thought a64 chipsets didn't get hot with the memory controller built into the processor?
The board does get hot...my board runs anywhere from 30C to 40C late at night when the air doesn't come on as often...
I am hoping this DFI runs cooler then mine...
If it is anything like the Neo Plat board, the NF3 "NB" will get very hot, esp when OCing, and the DFI heatsink does not look any better than the MSI one. (I was hanging out on the MSI site until I realized I just couldn't sign on to all the problems the Neo was dishing out.)
Anyway a popular choice by people on the MSI site to cool the chipset is the Vantec Iceberq CCB-A1C NB cooler. It will fit under a VGA Silencer. If you are not using a Silencer, you can probably get some other NB HSFs to fit once a dremel is brought to bear.
Well my board isn't a plat and it gets hot as well...I was thinking of getting a NorthBridge cooler but I am not sure what one to get that will fit there...
I posted earlier I was using one and OPP used one also.Quote:

You are so popular on here arent you bigtoe? lol
yeah I hope this board uses a well known mem IC cuz I'd like to do a vdimm mod and run 3.2-3.3v. I actually don't want a booster, prefer the old fashioned way.
Well it puts out 3.1 on its own.... :D
I for one love a board puts out...3.1 volts that is...:D
3.1=good
3.3=better
I wonder why this one only puts out 3.1, when the infinity did 3.3 stock....
maybe they know something about the pruported dangers of high vdimm on a64,
but then 2.0 on vcore for an a64 is nutty as anything else you could do to your setup, and I'm to be running phase change - I wont go higher than 1.75.
so, could someone (maybe bigtoe or OPP :D) summarize the "important" options of the LP-UT nF3 250Gb (S754)
(voltages, timing-settings, LDT-modes, max Clock, etc...important things, for a overclocker ;))
pplllzzzzzzz :D
I would say basically everything you just stated is important lol
LOL
yes, but i meant the setable options ;)
so, f.e.
max MEM = 300MHz
max VDIMM = 3.1V
max VCore = 2.0V
and so on :)
Bigtoe posted a bunch of BIOS pictures which showed most/all the options you asked about. They are either in this thread near the start or, for sure, they are in the news article on the xtreme home page.
But he also did say some of those options might not be in the final version that is released to us...
True, but since Bigtoe only has the beta version, AFAIK, we'll have to wait another 10 days or so to find out for sure! :DQuote:

And Bigtoe did promise to leak the beta BIOS if some key features are missing - and DFI is aware of that promise! Given that, I think there is a reasonably good chance of all the important stuff being in the final BIOS.
