So which one is better? The Stilt modded BIOS ver IP96A803TSA, or official 914?

So which one is better? The Stilt modded BIOS ver IP96A803TSA, or official 914?
Good question. I think I'm going to do the Stilt mod. I'll have it done soon, so I will post back after. :)
Also, if anyone is having a HECK of a time finding 50k vr's, I have a few extras.

The Rebels have a modded 914 BIOS. I'm using that. Works great! See:
Biostar Mod BIOS Ip96a914.rh for TForce P965 Deluxe/965PT
My board won't boot with the 1066 strap using the 914RH BIOS.
Does 540 FSB with the Stilt BIOS.
Any suggestions?
Yes, be satisfied that you have a $100 board that will run a 540FSB. :rolleyes:

Well, just thought I'd share that the stilt mod worked like a charm. I have to say though, it's a little odd that I had to crank on the VR for about 20 turns before it did ANYTHING. Then, it jumped from 2.3 to 2.7v! So I backed it off to a nice 2.46v to start. My Corsair 5400UL ram will be here tomorrow. Will post results as they come. :)

That's because you used a VR that was too high a value... 2K to 5K would have more control...
I was worried that it would start off too high of a vdimm though. Or do I have the wrong idea?Quote:

rest of rig is:
C2D 6300 628A147
2x512 Team Xtreem
ThermalTake BT
Enermax Liberty PSU
p.s. My PT is C2 revision
Its a good idea to start with fixed resistors.
Install a 100k resistor, test.
Install a 50k resistor, test.
Install a 25k resistor, test..
etc, until you find the point where voltage begins to climb. Old 3-pin fan headers and old power/LED connectors work perfect for swapping resistors fast without soldering.
I'm reasonably happy. But since I paid 128 Euro for the board I would prefer 550 FSB... :DQuote:

398!!! What happened to your 540????Quote:

Hey guys, I have a question!
I did the vdimm mod and I'm still waiting for my ram to come in the mail today. There is something very odd going on though. Even when my computer is turned off, there is still ~2.5v going to the ram! Is this because there is no ram in the slots? The psu is on, but board is turned off...but I still get the vdimm reading. What's going on???
-Collin-
I'l boot with 398 to stay with the tighter strap and then use clockgen to crank the fsb up...Quote:

Since the board is very slow clock-per-clock compared to a P5B dlx I wanted to give the RH bios a try.
Where can i find this damn thing? All I can find is the Tforce965PT?
That's the same as the deluxe without the RAID. I have the PT.Quote:

is that all ?Quote:

I don't understand what's going on. I got this board all set and running with the Stilt volt mod, but the ram is totally unstable with the mod installed. I thought that corsair 5400ul loved voltage. I set the voltage to 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and it still gets errors in memtest. I remove the mod, and the board can run 450fsb at 1:1 no problem. Why would the volt mod cause errors in memtest? This ram uses D9 fat body chips.
