This ram uses D9 fat body chips.

Did you measure the actual VDIMM at the coil?

Does anybody know where is vcore read point on the board? And maybe vmch read also?

p.s. I hope read point vcore is somewhere else not on the coils, because coils are shielded, so I DMM must go on other side of the board

450 fsb and 1:1 is not shabby without any mods.

I know, but I lost 50-75mhz when I put the mod back on!

I measured the vdimm at the coil near the ram slot. DMM says 2.51v, bios says 2.45v. I can try lowering it I guess. Maybe it's just too much for my ram to handle? I thought this D9 could take anything!

So is it as powerfull with the rev.C2 ?It looks pretty nice.

OK, good news. I removed the mod and tried again with a 10k VR instead of a 50k VR like another member advised me to do. The adjustments are way less sensitive and it works perfectly. I'm now at 475fsb 1:1 with 4-3-2-9 timings! I will keep going. This is just at 2.45v also.

From the Rebels Haven Mod:

But for this motherboard and this circuit, a 10K or 20K Variable Resistor is just about perfect and gives a slight boost when set to maximum resistance.

This is my mod, its easy to plug it or work with out-it. But I cant go higher than 500 fsb with my CPU 6300 628A :mad: , maybe my CPU is fsb limited I will find out soon.

So you found out the 50K caused you problems, and the 10K worked fine... That's the difference between someone that just say's use a high value and the Rebels' that calculate the correct value...

But at least your up and running...:)

That's cool! Mine is kind of dangling in the air :)

nice these boards seem like very good value too :toast:

What would you say about the layout?I would say this board is good but I don't like the fact that mosfet cooling isn't there.Anyways there seem to be some holes for it.It's nice to know you can add mosfet cooler without adhesive.

Is anyone else having a problem with the 4:5 divider? I can't get anything decent out of my ram. I can go higher with 1:1, and WAY higher with 2:3. Well, here are my results for 2:3 and D9 fat bodies. It's cas 4 also...doesn't display correctly at 2:3 ratio. Perfectly stable though...

Yes I notice strange behavior with rations other then 1:1, using Team Xtreem 6400, also my board with this CPU would not boot with 398-399 Mhz on fsb?!

What do you have the 9 memory settings, set to in the BIOS?

Has anyone tried the 11/11 albatron bios? http://www.albatron.com.tw/ENGLISH/I...asp?pro_id=229
12-05-2006, 08:49 AM

The BIOS is 11/14 and it made little difference. Flash with /F option...

Air cooling

What's everyone using for air cooling? I'm thinking about a TT BT.

Thanks

JWilson: Do you boot that 500mhz FSB 1:1, or do you have to use a lower fsb then clockgen it up in windows?

I'm going to be picking up a P965 board to use with 1GBx2 D9 Fatbody, and out of the P5B-E, DS3, and the Biostar, this seems like the one to get.

It boots at 500, but not every time. 3 out of maybe 10x it won't POST, but after pressing restart, it then boots every time. It may be my PSU... Also, it's only SuperPI stable. Never tried anything else as Prime has killed mem sticks for me in the past...

Ordered one of these, an E6300, and a Zalman ZM-NBF47 to cool the north bridge. Anyone have any tips for hit 500+ 1:1 FSB?

Thanks!

There is no hint, if u are lucky u will get CPU who has fsb wall above 500, if not there is no way u can go above it, except with subzero cooling. I suppose u have memory which is capable for 500+
