Oh yeah...he is going to have to host the BIOS somewhere where we all can download it :D

(voltages, timing-settings, LDT-modes, max Clock, etc...important things, for a overclocker ;))

pplllzzzzzzz :D

I think one important thing was to have the LDT at 3 past 240MHz.
It worked like that for me anyway, x4 only went to around 240 on my board. The x3 took me into the 300s.

hmmm....OPP, but with LDTx4 and 240MHz HTT the "imaginary-FSB" would be at 1920MHz and with LDTx3 with 300MHz HTT it would be 1800MHz

so, where is the advantage of 300MHz @ LDTx3 ? :confused:

some benchies ? or did u do them already and posted them ? (so, i would search for them :D)

There is also a LDTx2.5 which most others do not have.

p4z1f1st, reread the first few pages of this thread - lots of benches and BIOS pics from Bigtoe. There was also another thread where OPP posted his initial results. I don't think it got stickied and it is now dead, so you will have to search for that one.

The advantage is when your running your memory in the 250-300 range, 240 with x4 can't touch that:D

Ok I will be upgrading my Athlon XP and Corsair XMS 3200 to the DFI Board, and memory as well. Need a new 64 chip too. I have a water rig, and a v-moded Antec TC550, along with a v-moded 9800AIW. Want to build a max performance 754 rig on water:

A few questions:

1.) Will a single stick of 1G be as stable as 1 512? If price is not an issue, what is the best ram I can get at 3.1v (highest voltage on board)? Seems like we all want 1G of ram at the best clocks available, and the OCZ EB's are proven. What I want is a single stick of 1gig ram that will run 550(+) at tight timings and 3.1v

2.) This board supports Cool and Quite, so we should be able to support a mobile that will allow mulitplier changes in Windows. I know about this on the XP's, but I read somewhere in this post (on another 64 mobo) that they had to put a regular 64 in before the mobile? Why?

3.) I know the Jury is still out on how a mobile will perform on this board, but since I am new to the 64's, what steppings both mobile, and non-mobile should I look for? What is the max / everyday overclock I should expect from these steppings on water? Is it realistic to expect a A64/ 1 meg can do 10 x 275 = 2750 on water with 1:1?

:D

Bigtoe i was wondering, how can i recognise the rev3 modules?
or are all the modules that are being produced now all rev3's?

and is there a significant overclocking differance between 3500 and 3700 EB?
i must say that the 3700rev3 sure looks like killer ram :D

1.) 1Gig sure isn't gonna go high, and i think 550+ with tight timings is going to be impossible

2.) don't know

3.) for stepping you'll have to wait for the board to come out, and see some actual results. And you'll need phase change to reach 2750 with a clawhammer, water will get you around 2500+
If you want high cpu clocks than you should go for a newcastle

$134.99 shipped and still no active link:

Hmmm. Decisions, decisions. Slightly more than MSRP, but "free" 2nd Day. Since I have a gig of RAM, I may pass on this beast.

@ bigtoe / OPP: what kind of BIOS has the LP-UT 250Gb ? (Pheonix or Award ?)

Kind of wondering what the 90nm A64's mobiles are going to do. Oppainter, when are you going to get one?

I have no clue.

What flavors do they come in, what is the biggest chip and what is it called exactly?

I'll request one.

I thought award and pheonix merged into one company. They split up again?

Does anyone know what the hell is going on with the link to preorder this...??? It is starting to piss me off!

I have a question, what is the best chipset cooler you could buy that will fit on the bord?
i'm thinking of buying a thermaltake crystal orb, wich isn't that expensive, and pretty quit. But i don't really know a lot about chipset coolers, any suggestions?

Thx

Same here...I would like to know that as well...

Thermalright NB-1C

or Swiftech MCX-159

http://www.swiftnets.com/assets/imag.../MCX159-AP.jpg

Will have to wait to find out how much clearance there will be though :rolleyes:

again one question ;)

@ bigtoe/OPP: what about the temperature of the NB (or is it a Southbridge ?) ?

because, some nF3-250-NBs get REALLY hot while high oc's

what about the DFI-one ;)
08-23-2004, 04:28 PM

I already asked bigtoe that and he said he would get back to me on that...he had to measure it he said...

One the chipset cooler I think I would go witht he Thermalright one...looks better... Or is the one witht he fan actually better...?
08-23-2004, 05:56 PM
dabie

the thermalright one actually comes with a small delta fan.. there is also an aluminum version which is cheaper and would prolly work just as well

It gets pretty hot. Espeacily since you can give it up to 1.9V via the bios. But even though it's hot I doubt if it is affecting any overclocks. I don't think cooling it will get you much of anything.

I had to add cooling to the chipset to get 400HTT stable, then I pushed 100cfm over the board to get 425HTT stable ;)

p4z1f1st

ROFL !

100cfm ?!?! that are 170m³/h !!!

a Delta FFB 0812 EHE -fan has "only" 80cfm !!!

or did u add all cfm's of your fans together ?

or did u really put just a MEGA-FAN on the NB ? :D
