Help me~ :D
B'd : 304 board (Bios:1073),(freecableguy MOD)
CPU : Cell-D 356
Is not booted when set more than Vcore 1.6V
And periodic beef sound happens :confused: :slapass:
Sorry dude, my bad, fixed it now, using 1181...all benches seem to be ok except PCMARK Grammar test - any advice?Quote:
BX97510J.86A.0305.1114.1432
The bold number above is your BIOS version. At least 0618 is required for Conroe support. I recommend 0908. THIS IS ALL CLEARLY STATED IN THE FIRST POST OF THIS THREAD. Please people, READ.
Whats max vcore would you recommend for conroe? How are you guys temps on this board with Conroe?
Thanks

Guys, if you want more options in this board, I suggest you bombard Intel tech support with calls and request for that feature. If no one tells them, it will not be implemented. If they will receive more requests about this, believe me they will make it possible.
As for the BIOS problem, download a recovery BIOS from Intel support site, remove the jumper, and put the a floppy where the recovery BIOS is and it will recover. I've done this across multiple Intel board, and more often than not, it works.
Also, if you encounter bugs, kindly let me know and I'll advise them to my internal contacts...
Btw, droop mod may not be easy to request =)....anything that requires changes to hardware rather than BIOS or firmware will be very hard to push, unless significant number is reported i.e. >200u

I am stuck at 5A post code and I can't clear cmos :(
It only works when bios jumper is set to config mode. Tried removing battery as well

This allows for ~0.2v increase over BIOS values.
what about the rev. 303 Do I need to do all those SMDs mods to make it support Conroe?
I've got one Boxed in my hands..
lol, i think thats the first ive heard of 303... only one way to find out i suppose....
well, I can say just one thing for a while, The board is nice!Quote:

How are you guys using Intel Branded Boards with ES chips? i was told by a friend who works for intel never to use intel branded Boards as it will recognise the ES chips and lock out the Bios to like 3Mhz or something so its un-usable, do you have Moded Bios? or do they actually work fine in the Intel branded boards?

Hmmm like i said, i never tested it, i always ran Abit or Asus or anyone elses boards, never even tried to run an Intel Branded Board, hence i was asking, as i was told they would recognize the ES chip and pretty much make it unusable without a modded Bios. I know the Intel chipsets work fine, just as long as they weren't in an Intel Branded Board. But your telling me he is on crack? and that the ES chips run fine in Itel Branded Boards?Quote:

Thats all folks :D
Attached pictures say all:)
In D975XBX, Vfsb means VTT and VCCA...both voltage looks same.
In my case, MAX FSB for SuperPI1M(at x6 multi, by air-cooling)
improves 20+MHz(442 to 466) with Vmch=1.9V and Vfsb=1.6V:)
Many thanks to OMEGA for Tcore mod!
I found that just removing 0-ohm chip resistor looks enough,
though I've not tried LN2 cooling with this simplified Tcore mod.

Edit: Image IP address maintenance;)
What about the bandwidth?
I have a revision A4 Conroe. Whenever I set any voltage in the bios it never actually sets it to that. CPUZ and the onboard still read 1.26 volts. Any ideas. Running 0908 bios.
kyosen: Why are you running so "slow" with all those volt mods? Are you heat limited?
Anjelous: Yes, your friend is smoking moon rocks. Not all the Intel BIOSes for this board work correctly with Conroe, but most of the newer ones do, and there's no BIOS mod required.
hey thanx guys, i am gunna have to talk to my friend and see what the hell the deal is.
It's a just air-cooling test result with Pen4 retail heatsink&fan:)Quote:

The board doesn´t boot at all when the mod is attached.
I have atleast triple checked the mod and tried different resistors.
After removing the mod everything works just fine.
@zbogorgon-san
It's good!!:) Link of the image is removed later.

It's no harmful I believe, but you say that it prevents booting...:(
I also want to know another member's result...
Just to clarify a bit, on 3.04 revision, which mods are needed ?Quote:

Well, the main thing is that the mod gained 25 valuable MHz in FSB (VMCH 1.895V) :D
About the FSB VTT mod, is the 1k resistance applied between the lifted leg and FSB VTT voltage or lifted leg and ground?
Anyways, great job with the mods kyosen and Omega :toast:
I'm glad to hear your result, congrats for FSB +25MHz, Stilt:)
> About the FSB VTT mod, is the 1k resistance applied

--
Use all 3pin of 1k-ohm POT!
Look my mod picture again, please:)
Right pin -> FSB VTT
Center pin -> lifted leg
Left pin -> GND
At first booting, Right pin and Center pin of 1k-ohm POT should be shorted.
can I place ZALMAN 7700 on 975XBX??
If you used any ES-chips, not needed mods.(not xtreme OC)Quote:

How much increase would Vfsb mod give ? Vmch gained +17MHz for 3D Bench speeds (434MHz before 1.725V set in BIOS , 1.671V BIOS reading - 451.5MHz now with 1.84V BIOS reading ) . ANy hope that Vfsb can give another 5-8MHz , is that mod worth it ? :) My lil E6300 is sooo FSB limited ... :D :slapass:
Hi guys !
I dont know if this is obsolete info to you, but anyway
here it goes:
I have an Bad Axe ver 302 with ADP 3189 buck controller on it.
I checked its specs and finded out that it does support VR11.
http://search.analog.com/search/defa...+3189&local=en
FEATURES
Selectable 2-, 3-, 4-, or 5-phase operation at up to 1 MHz per phase
±7.7 mV worst-case differential sensing error over temperature
Logic-level PWM outputs for interface to external high power drivers
Active current balancing between all output phases
Built-in power-good/crowbar blanking supports on-the-fly VID code changes
Digitally programmable 0.5 V to 1.6 V output supports both VR10.x and VR11 specifications
Programmable short-circuit protection with programmable latch-off delay
APPLICATIONS
Desktop PC power supplies for
Next generation Intel® processors
VRM modules
So is there any chance at all, that Conroe support will come
with Bios update ???
Or is just those resistors and capacitors which will do the trick ?
Because i thought that D975XBX was originally designed for Conroe.
Wasnt Conroes "nickname" Bad Axe at in some early design stage ?
( The register 2004 or 2005 if i remember ).
I hate to buy a new mobo twice a year, cause they cost ~250€ +
shipping here in Finland.
- MTP69 -
OK, I admit I'm the dumbest cookie in the box. This board and E6600 R5 == no FSB changes in the BIOS and this needs to run non-Windows OSes.
Will the hardware mod to enable the BIOS debugging features give free FSB settings in the BIOS?
The FSB adjustment is called 'Burn in mode'.Quote:

but with no success .. can som1 plz upload som pics showing how he did it that will be very helpful..
OK, I AM stupid. The reason the burn in mode didn't work for me is that I didn't realize Intel's BIOS requires one "Return" to be able to change the number (with no visible feedback), and then you need another Return withoutvisible feedback to get out of it while setting it. I didn't do the latter and ended up with default.Quote:

CPU voltage is called "CPU VID". You disable "Default CPU VID" first, and that allows you to change CPU VID. If it's not visible in your BIOS, then you need to do the mod shown in the first post (image 3).
Clockgen will allow more than a 30% overclock.
i had buy this mobo revision 304 with a conroe e6400, in this forum i have been saw many post with people tath increase bus up to 500mhz quad pumbed 2000mhz but in bios config can i set onli 30% of overclock over official speed ...
I read that there is the possibility to sold two pin of oc debug to unlock vcore setting in the bios with this mod can increase bus form the bios to 400 mhz?
how do i make to overclock my processor to 2.9 ghz at the boot and no with clock gen???????????
have clockgen the possibility to set speed and mantain the setting when reboot?if yes how?
I am confused by some of the BIOS options on this board.
* In maintenance mode I saw an option "Enhanced Debug" - I tried turning this on, it didn't seem to do anything. What's it for?
* Enhanced Power Slope. I guess this changes something about the voltage regulator, but what?
* Expansion Card Text. Not sure what this does either. Probably nothing significant :)
Enhanced Dubug - ??? you got me? lol
Enhanced Power Slope - Drops vdroop by about 50%
Expansion Card Text - Controls whether add-in BIOS card (like SCSI/RAID cards) display init text on the screen when initializing during system boot

But, it might be not able to start with the tolerance such as CPU.
Good luck!
HI i tested my cpu and function correctly with bus 1333+ 25% 3333mhz but i have anoter questions. i tried this frequency with 1.725 voltage on northbridge and 1.395 fsb voltageQuote:

Necessary to own risk if it uses it with OC.
So, if it safely uses with Defort Voltage.;)
Is there a way for the cpu to work all the time at 9xFSB and not switching to 6xFSB when there is no load ?
Turn off EIST if there's any option like that.Quote:

Hmmm.. Guys I've got problem with clockgen and ICS 954123 Pll, the frequencies read are Ok, but when I set fsb to 201mhz ( it`s an example ) i've got a freeze :(
any way to solve my problem ? ( systool doesn't work with ICS950525 PLL.. )

NB : I use Bad axe rev302 unmodded ( except vddr / vmch ) and a Pentium D930

Hello people have read most of this thread. Have a pentium D 805 (waiting for conroe)
And have tried doing the bios mod (shorting the jumpers) and cannot seam to unlock the features. Im running on a rev 304 with the latest bios version. I dont have the cash atm to buy silver paint or conductive pen so have used serveral different methods in my attempt and none seam to get me anywhere.. such as silver foil and tape.... Bluetac and paperclip also tried wire. All may seam a bit amiture but if i had the pen i would use it.
Main thing is i am not sure my connections worked but they should have connected the points... tried each method several times. What am i doing wrong do i need a lower bios?
I have considered using intel integration toolkit to mod the bios as an alternative are there any guides to doing this or ready modded bios' you would recomemd.
Sry lots of talking, any help appreciated.
EDIT:
Right found teh guides on using the ITK. So will get that up and running and set it to 800mhz bus with 30% downclock so that it will definatly boot. Giving my 140fsb right? just over the standard for this cpu. then i can use the bios to adjust above that.
Hi & Thank you for your help :)Quote:

Is the bridge mod equivalent to the capabilities that the ITK gives you if you don't have EE?
hey guys, this seems to be the place to ask this.
I just setup my system. I don't have hardly any of the options I see in pictures posted in those bios of these overclocked machines. I have the default bios that came with me d975xbx -304
I have the menu with the burnin mode bunin pci express burnin pci but none of the cpu options, fsb, voltage, divider options etc etc
that whole top menu under advanced that I see in screenshots isn't there I have 2 disclaimers and only 1 menu the one down at the bottom? how do I fix this !!! I wanna get this beast going at at least 4ghz.
The bridge mod will let you see and adjust the fsb and voltages in the BIOS menu. The multipliers are locked on regular CPUS.Quote:

I believe this is our problem gunna try it when I get home from work today
never messed with moding a board I am a little scared :scared:
I had another question about the mod, could I simply slap a jumper on that ? or are those not pins but places on the actual board that need to be connected? sorry I am noobie when it comes to doing things like this to the actual board =x
edit : nevermind this was kindly answered in a pm =D thanks
For the noobie modder, a conductive pen should work fine.
well guys did the pen mod, and set my fsb to 1066 gave it a boot and
its at 4ghz now and was prime stable for 5 minutes or so, gunna go gaming on it see how it does.
thanks for the help all, soon as I figure out where to host a picture I will post screens, nothing major but my 1st attempt at ocing this thing was a success I would say.
jsut reading off of cpu z here is some info ( al lI did was set it to 1066 FSB)
core speed is 4000
multiplier is 15
fsb is 266
Bus speed is 1066
memory freq is 333.3
FSB:DRAM is 4:5
5 5 5 15 5 is ram clocks ( really relaxed I am assuming )
let me know if you have any info I can use.
I can't see the picture with the points to connect in 'OC DEBUG' Could someone please upload a picture or at least tell me if it's the two closest to the ram slots or closest to the battery?
you know your bios reset jumper ? well its 3 little silver saulder points that are right above it literally.
it says OC DEBUG right next to it.
you just simply connect the 2 on the left, looking at it with the reset jumper on the near side. In that picture he blocked a big black box over where you need to do it to hi-lite where they are. Its very accurate and easy to see if you look into your case, heck I did mine without even removing anything just filled in the gap with a cundictive pen let set 10 minutes and I was Good 2 go
comp is now running at 4ghz with my TTBT cooling it.
I am a little worried because I have been reading about how inaccurate the bios temps as well as the intel software are at reading the actual temp.
I guess if its still on after hrs of gaming and running 2 instances of prime95 its fair to say its stable and ok ?
hmm is the picture for image3 down? can't view it right now.
Can we please get another picture of how to unlock the vCore settings in Bios? The picture is down :(
can someone post a box shot thats shows the revision number please ?
you saying that we dont need to do the debug mod anymore?is this also for retail chips.Quote:

well if you have a es chip it should be unlocked, you can try the mod and it will definantly work this I can vouch for
Step 4 B0 has everything unlocked
Step 5 B1 has most of things locked
i have step 4 B0 with the rev304 mobo and the 1304 bios.
I got no oc options at all and the bios does not know the cpu...
help.,...
BIOS not knowing the CPU is not unusual, it will only say "Genuine Intel CPU @xxx GHz" because Intel does not burn the full set of CPU information on the ES chips. But unless you have a VERY old BIOS without Conroe support at all you should have the usual overclocking options (go to advanced, chipset configuration, and select "yes" to the "are you sure you want to proceed" selections).
with 0908, 1181 and the stock bios i got i see those options but with the 1304... none
Still Waiting for resistors to mod my 303 :(
thats really wierd, cause when I had my boxed drivers and my 930 it didn't show me anything but the 2nd menu which allowed for minimal burn in ocing.Quote:

if your having issues try updating your bios then resetting it. I saw someone advise that and it worked for the guy.
past that I don't know what would cause a board with the correct stuff done to not work.
