Cold boots. Gotta turn off full screen logo & watch everytime i boot to see what fsb its booting at. Got oc failed control set to 1mhz & it defaults to stock fsb sometimes. Wasn't having these issues till i tried betas. Was rock solid stable on 0731 before.Quote:

stupid 830.
Oh well hopefully they will release a final sometime that will deal with this issue.

I'm sure you guys did click on "Update all" in "update options" area and "CMOS Default" in "CMOS options" area using Winflash 1.84.
ive managed to boot @ 369fsb with a little tweaking. I)ickie maybe you could help us out here a little, so far you've got the best overclock. could you post your bios settings. thanks
Landparty nforce 590 has been postBoned for 2-3 months. I had been reading that the 590 was a POS for Intel overclocks.
DFI is waiting for the revised model of the 590.
guys give the 615 bios a go! mine's pretty stable so far
Some of the things i changed in the bios:
Execute Disable Bit - Enable
SLP_S4# Assert Bandwidth - 1 to 2 (i think this is the most important of all)
Video Bios - Disabled
Memory Hole - Disabled
Peg Force X1 - Disabled
Goodluck!
Some notes about my new build:
0731 is stable for me at 356fsb. Any higher and I can't post.
0830 hung when I tried 360 and 365, so I'm not sure how much help it is for me. I also have to admit that many of the new ram settings make my head spin. The loss of the oc fail is also quite disappointing. Hopefully there will be a new release soon (a universal feeling in this thread, it appears)
Under 0731, I didn't have any 'cold boot' problems (so I wasn't even sure what it was). Under 0830, I did have some beeping and lockup on reboot so I assume that's what we're talking about...
@ Dax, what fsb are you able to hit with the 0615? Maybe I should give that a shot. In the meantime, I'm back to the stability of 0731 @ 356
See what happens when you flash back to 731. after flashing to 830 then back a lot of people have been experiencing stability problems.Quote:

So far so good back on the 0731. I haven't found any difference in stability yet. I used winfash 1.84 for both flashes.Quote:

RAM is Partiot LLK 667 4-4-4-12 1.8V kit, mines at 766 5-5-4-5 1.9V
i don't seem to have cold boot issues unless I'm aiming for really tight RAM performance, and well that might just be normall OCing bootup problems.
Here's something I found at DFISTREET, try setting ram to manual, but set all timings apart from the divider to manual (533 divider for 390fsb and 400 divider for 400fsb), set drive all strengths to 3, you should be able to hit 390+ then with the right vcore...

I've gotta set fsb in bios & save. It then posts with correct fsb. I've tried everything, increasing ram voltage, increasing northbridge voltage & nothing seems to help. I'm fully 12hrs stable & memtest is not showing any errors. It reboots fine once its warm. I didn't have any problems with 0731 before i tried the beta's.
mine wont post even after powering off for just a few min.Quote:

I have no flashback issues (except for Vietnam).
I don't think any of these issues will be resolved until DFI addresses them in a new bios. When is the question.
Yeah i hope they do it soon.
Starting to get a little frustrated with the old one.

Doesn't seem dfi are concerned bout this mobo at all. :mad:
Here's DFIs email:
techsupport@dfiweb.com
Everyone start sending them HATE mail!
:rolleyes: Can't yet, tryin 2 get new bios chip outa themQuote:

One things for sure..
I am never buying an infinity series ever again. I thought these things were supposed to be budget overclockers! this thing cant overclock for peanuts.
One things for sure. Their lanparty better be bloody good to get this taste out of my mouth.

i emaild the guys from DFI, and they said that the board is "EXTREMELY STABLE at 400X9" haha! yeah right! if it were stable, then people wouldnt be complaining
