My board(lanparty) is stable @250mhz 24/7
Vdd:1.7v
Vmem:3.3v
1x512 Mb Adata Winbond bh5
1x256Mb Adata - Adata chips
Cas 2.2.3.11
(need beter memmory to get higher 24/7 or more vmem)

Has anyone noticed better memory bandwidth with 9.5, then with 10? My bandwidth is greater at 9.5 X 246, then 10 X 246 :confused: bios 12-18
nope, havent noticed that. BUT, i do know that the infinity (2 ive tested so far) doesnt like multi 8.5 with high FSB, possibly low FSB also, but im not sure, as i havent needed it with a low FSB.
I've never gotten my 1700+ to POST at either of 8.0 or 8.5 mult, stock FSB or not. I tried those mults in an effort to see how high I could place the FSB but nada. 12-18 BIOS. Muilts 7.0, 7.5 and 9-15 work.
Another strangeness, my 1700+ was runnable at up to 1.9v on my kd7-e. If I try 1.8 on the Infinity I get a no POST condition.
yes im glad im not the only one with the 8 and 8.5 multis. i did 7.5x240 and it just ran uber slow. right now im at 9x240, and im trying to get windows stable. i can run proggies, but every now and then ill get "such and such a problem and needs to close" "send error report" im messing with all the ADVANCED CHIPSET things, as there are so many. can anyone tell me what the driving rate and the slew thing are? they have an option for those 2 on each DIMM
I'm guessing that 8 and 8.5 map to a high (20+) multiplier.
This is on a stock 1700+, wonder if the 8-bit mod would help?
dunno, im on a 2500 barton.
I thought I had the newest bios but I was only running the 11/27 bios.:wierd:
I flashed to the 12/18 bios last night and was easily over 250fsb. I booted into windows at 260fsb but I didn't want to push it much further. I'm still trying to find stable timings at 9.5x253 but It looks like I may need more vcore.

In all seriousness, great 'clock out of that board Wolf :toast:
Thanks. I'm just so happy I finally got a good board. It's really all in the board.
Here is my modest run at 3dmark 2001 with the the 9600pro at 481/340 .

Wait,
So is everyone here getting 250Fsb out of these boards?
more oe less. 240 almost all round. most hit 250 some beyond.
im one of the few who fell short of 250... hdd corruption. i think i have unlucky ram.
This is a long thread, but if you read through you'll see that most posting here are getting 240-250+ with the beta BIOS'. With no mods :D
Doesn't mean that everyone is getting such high clocks. Check out amdmb.com's DFI forums, the boards are not without troubles, but the general trend is high FSB out of the box.
eh..from amdmb dfi forum:
Teh secret is out :DQuote:
as for Oskar, he's the engineer head nerdy dude that worked for Abit and created such wonderful boards as the BP6! He's now ours, and works on the Infinity series of boards =)
It is indeed out!!!!
I should be getting the DFI board in a few days, just need some money to go in my account then I'll order it and a WB for the CPU and NB.
Gonna stop using the Prometeia until I can get it fixed as it's too noisy.
Indeed,oskar seems to be a great engineer...too bad that someone insulted him ... and from what i see, he dissappeared as he actually said he would... :( OSKAR if you see this post,please come back and give us your lights and hints.
Some people should go over to AMDMB and tell him to come back. :)
an freakin apologize. good god yo!
lol we dont want the actions of one to drive away someone like him.
Whats the forum he is at?
I've sent him a PM on AMDMB, fingers crossed.
I just flashed to the 18 beta BIOS . I went from 225 3D/prime stable with my twinmos with twinmos PC3200 single sided ram to 250 3D/prime stable . I am running at 248 at the moment because my CPU limits me there . My CPU wont go much over 2600mhz with the 2v this board gives ( must find a mod :) )
My muskin bh-5 is memtest stable at 250 , but not prime . I think the reason may be that it is not single sided like my Twinmos is.
This is by far the BEST NF2 board I have ever owned .
A big thankyou has to go out to OSKAR_WU :D His latest BIOS has transformed my board completely.
Cheers
OSKAR!!! HELLPP lol
is there any way you can tweak the bios to not HATE westerdigital hard drives?! ALOT of people have having huge problems with that. i have only WD drives so im screwed as i cant get this board to boot with a WD!
I just had to disable APIC to stop losing my usb mouse and sound . I have managed to push it to 250x10.5 and so far prime is fine . This is with a vapo and stock cooling . I hope to get watercooling the NB and VGA soon :)
that thing about westerd digitals is bad..i got a wd special edition 80gig i'd like to use with my dfi(i am waiting for the lanpartyB)..its normal IDE not serial ata,i hope i wont have probs...
you will most likely. Ive already testd 3 infinity and my WD 40gig worked on noen of them, afetr it was shut down by flashing to beta 12-18 on the first infinty i had. since that flash on my first infinty, it hasnt loaded on ANY of the boards that came to follow. good luck to ya man
