Im assuming that there's a vdimm mod already for this shuttle mobo..... just found out that I cant get the Gigabyte K8N[pro up here in canada so Im gonna see if this mobo is available........
Mikem and horus, do you have a link to the vdimm mod on this beauty? thanks......
vcore and vdimm

Well Charlie.....you get to keep your spot after all ;)
I threw 10 pounds of dry ice into the antifreeze which took the card well below 0c, and I am having MAJOR problems....maybe one run out of 20 well go at full speed, the other 19 are being throttled back. If there is a work around, I would sure appreciate it. This card just goes down to 0c and stays there....it doesnt start back at 255 like on some. I did get it to go a couple times at 670 core, so i know it can run atleast that high....oh well
Mike, have you tried the thermal throttling workaround posted by MM? And damn, 10 pounds of dry ice in the res? Wouldn't you be pumping a lot of bubbles into the block? I can imagine your whole res bubbling like mad :D
If you mean the workaround where you let it warm-up to 0c then reboot....mine just goes to zero and sits there...it never resets upto 255...?? Maybe I dont quite get it......
I am also not using a water-cooling setup full-time....I usually just fill an ice chest up with ice water and a submersible pump, and just run a hose to the block and back. Today I filled the icechest up with antifreeze, and dropped 10 pounds of dryice into the chest so that the antifreeze got way below zero. It seemed to work pretty good as the mc50 block was completely frooze over.
I also just put the block on my old asus gf4 and popped a 21k ;)

Thanks..... Im sold, this is the board for me:DQuote:
I've tried that, throwing dry ice chunks into my chiller res and it did get quite a bit colder, but my whiole res was bubbling like mad heh.Quote:

Just got the board and flashed the beta bios ( thanks Horus :toast: ),
So far so good..... can someone point me the the right direction on how to unlock the multi? for some reason I thought the new bios unlock it lol..... thanks.....
I heard that too, but have yet to find out how.
There are software proggys that can get the job done....
clockgen works on the multies and nvidia system utility on the fsb
i cant find a clockgen for the NF3..... theyre all for via chipsets..... will thoise work?
MikeM et al.,
I'm looking at trying an A64 3400+ with an AN50R. The CPU should start trickling in next week, do you still think the AN50R is better than K8NNXP? What kind of RAM do you need to run 270+ 1:1???? So on super Xtreme cooling 11 x 275 = 3025 1:1 at 2,6,2 would pack a better punch than the FX-51 I'd say...
Ok...I see, it's Mushkin LevelII Pc3500 2 x 256mB...@ 3.6V... nice.

Charlie, My AN50R was good till something died lol....... I like the an50r because of the easy vmods and reading the vdimm at bios instead of reading from back of the mobo...... if there's one thing I dont like is the 280fsb limit on the bios...... 300*9 running 5:4 would have been sweet......
luihed--> What broke on the mb what settings did you run and at what volt (vcore,Vmem,etc)
But for running MAX 1:1....280 is plenty...
C
:( me want
Charlie...This board simply rocks for high fsb action....the mem voltage is derived off the 5v rail instead of 3.3, so stable high vmem is no prob....Honestly the easiest high fsb overclock ive ever done.... Wierd thing...I can hit 2700 with only like 1.8 volts....The cpu seems to like cold much more than it likes voltage.....2v doesnt allow me to go any higher at all.....I think we should trade mb/cpus and you can get 280x10 and I can play with that fx!!!!!
To be honest , I dont know what broke..... worse even is taht Im not sure if its the mobo or the cpu thats toast cos there's no way for me to test them........Quote:

Was doing some testing at 270fsb 1:1 after I did the vdimm mod and around teh third run of 3dmarks, it crashed..... didnt bother to reboot cos it was getting late and in the morning, she wouldnt boot anymore:( ............
Couple of things that I can think of is one, I was feeding it 3.6v on the 3.3v line :am: , forgot to take off the mod on the PSU...... a buddy of mine Corrupt fried his board too and he's also running 3.6v on the 3.3 line as well........
2nd thing that could have happened and I hope its not it, is the same thing that happened to MrIcee.... he said he fried his chip running at high fsb....... or maybe it was high vdimm that he was running...... I really hope its not my cpu cos I can afford a new mobo but cpu is another story......
Edit: Vcore is at 1.7v and vdimm was at 3.65v........
Sorry to hear about your system....Could the problem have been condensation???
I lost my first a64....I later found out that my motherboard had a short in it....I got lucky not to lose my second one finding what the problem was....
I was still using stock cooling at teh time, the run was at 270x8.5........... Last week was a bad one for me... First I lost an hyperX running only at 2.9v then day later I lose a mobo.....all this will be worth it if I hit 2700mhz though:D
MMMM i cant wait to get my shuttle. Weird that its such a good board :D
The board is good but unfortunately the monkey behind the keyboard is not lol...... youre gonna have fun with the A64 bro, this thing is so fast.....
cant ......wait....till....christmas....
MikeM,
So what was your MAX 3d benchable speed?? 280 1:1??
Are you on a Prommy?
C
Be forewarned: I took out the mem controllers (or more) on 2 A64's inside 2 weeks trying to run the 3.5v-3.64v that others are running on the AN50R at 270-280Mhz FSB 1:1. I assure you I'll no longer be using that kind of juice to the memory any longer.Quote:

Of course that was on air and not Prommy cooled...not sure if it would make a difference. But please be ultra careful if you try to run high memory volts as others have to achieve high 1:1 FSB.
