And here´s the vdimm modd....just connect PIN6 to a VR and then ground it with either PIN4 or anyother ground point. Does the trick :banana: :banana: :banana:

Its amazing what Google can do eh....? :)
New bios seemed to reorganize the hardware resources somehow... all the chipset drivers were reinstalled when windows came up.. had to restart 2 times because of the drivers.
Wit Vdimm mod 3.3V is normally the max... maybe if the Powersuplys +3.3V line is adjustable you can get more?
With OCZ -booster i feeded KHX and OCZ EB 3.5V according to the Booster leds... didn´t bother to check wit the meter if those volts vere correct. Have been reading some info that in some cases Booster has been showing more voltage than actually has been suplied to the memories.
BH5 (2-2-2-5) I have are: 1x KHX3000/512 (ds)which does 240MHz with 3.2-3.3Vdimm and 3x KHX3200/256 (ss)which all do 250MHz with 3.3Vdimm
Here's anotheroneQuote:

Is this mod possible on the DFI Board, too?
that mod could use a change..
Would be a better idea to find a more reliable solder point that had larger traces and would allow the voltage to be filtered somewhat before getting to the ram (ie: the output leg of the vdimm mosfet).
thanks for that mateQuote:

I could do the cpu wire mod easily but have never soldered before so i dont think ill be touching the vdimm. As it stands i get 34sec for SuperPi which isnt bad at all. I might be able to push the FBS to 150 for a tiny boost, but the RAM doesn't like such low voltages.
Btw - that Zalman cooler is great - my temps are down to 42/44 from high 50's. It doesnt require any modding at all.
Edit: using the 75/37 lock and it seems to work fine. Both my X800Pro and Creative Live! work fine.

Hi all.
I can pick up a used Pentium4 1.6ghz M 1mb cache model stepping code is SL6FA tested working with 30day warranty for £30.
Do you think this a chip of this type would clock to over 2000mhz on the Aopen mobo. At present I have a winchester 3000 skt939 cpu that clocks upto 2300mhz, do you think I would see a speed improvement or would I be better of sticking with the Winnie?
Need some views and opinions before I shell out the wonga on this cpu and finance the skt479 board next month after payday!!

I think its safe to expect that bioscoders have tried to improve the new version somehow... so propably good. Everythin seems to work as before... also my External USB2.0 HD doesn´t still get regognized yet... when on 1.1 setting it works but dam slow :mad: ...maybe have to open a case to Aopens helpdesk.Quote:

I would by that processor anyways and if it wasn´t what i want then i would sell it and propably get more than 30 qwit. ;)
also be careful. pentium 4 m != pentium m... different thingy! so if it really is a pentium m, it's a banias, not something we're talking about. might try it anyway, but i would expect it to deliver less due to (amongst other things) half the l2cache...
I'm using a 1.3GHz Banias. Without the wire mod to increase vcore it clocks up to 1.8GHz (12 x150) quite happily. It will POST higher but is unstable so I reckon it will top out aroud 2-2.1GHz with higher vcore.Quote:

2.7G stable with default voltage.
Seemed to improve performance quite nicely wit Dual Channel :slobber: ...however you need to get atleast 750 or 760 533FSB chip to get high enough multi ..too expensive for my taste :(
yea, really impressive, especially the fsb that 133fsb dothan could reach 190!! now imagine that at 3:4... banging 253 mhz (ddr 506). but anyway.. you need to get the fsb pretty high to have any decent overall speed. with an 15x multi you need to get it to 180 to run 2.7g.. hmmm ... too expensive for now... also wait what the 915gm will bring :D
hey guys, i've been reading this thread and gradually becoming more and more impressed.
my current rig is in spec, but im really intrigued by these dothans, would say a 1.7 dothan and dfi/aopen board be worthy for a 24/7 rig? Mildy overclocked say to 2.1ghz?
Definatly.
ok, question 2, is it worth the over £300 it would cost me? ;)Quote:

bet that would run circles around an fx
anyone know if the thermaltake fanless 103 will fit on the aopen 855 motherboard?
In gaming benchmarks, probably yes. 21x150 = 3.15Ghz.....21x170= 3.5Ghz. :slobber:Quote:

Wait for the new DFI board.Quote:

The new dfi is still on the 855gme.. it wont support ddr2 like the other new p-m motherboard.
