first post :eek:
Will I be able to reach 2.5 ghz with the A64 3400+ CW and Ocz 2x512 3700 EB Platinum on this DFI Mboard with air cooling (SLK948 and good case airflow)?
Cpu info:
ADA3400AEP5AP
CAAOC 0402XPMW
Hope to get this Mboard in like a week :)
on the clockage above default.
expect 2.3, 2.5 would be nice, but, the CW version with 1 gig of L2 just doesn't clock the same as the 512 Newcastles.
of course, 2.5 is easily attainable if you are using phase change for cooling.

the place to be is in http://www.bytesatwork.be the have it in next week friday or the week afther monday(17 or 20 sept) a now a have say't 15/16 but 17/20 is more likly.
There is not yet a price set but you can order one the will send you the € when the have from the wholeseller(groothandel).
@tomati,
are you from Belgium?
Enybody nows if a will have troubel with the corsairs pc3500c2rev1.1(bh5)or will a by better off with OCZ pc3700EB,watt do i take then for best performance 2x256mb or 2x512mb(for benchen and gamen),becaus i will buy some OCZ sticks.:rocker:
I love that smiley:rocker: :rocker: it is made special for me a think(not):lol:
Thanks for the link Rocker
I just will wait they have it in stock before to order
Yes I am from brussels
Now i am confused!
I sent this to Thermaltake:
"I heard the XP120 wont fit on this board.
Is it the headpipes that are in the way for something ?
Can you put this headsink both ways (the headpipes toward AGP)
I want to mod it to fit (Cut away), but do you think its totally impossible ?
Warranty and such i dont care about =)
Thanks for any info.
And now i get this from them:
"We're hearing allot about this motherboard, first of all; DFI delivered one of these to our labs in TW and it was found that the XP-120 fit. But forums and others are saying that it doesn't, I would hope that what we received is the same that DFI is shipping.
So, until we see more than one of these motherboards we really cannot comment on modding or the need to do so to make the Xp-120 fit. It does fiot the onme we were sent!!"
My first mail to DFI told me this:
"After checking the dimension and our layout, we are sorry to say that the heat sink cannot use on our LP UT board."
So i guess DFI dont have an XP120 to test with and didnt really put so big effort to check this.
Bigtoe or OPPainting do you know if they changed layout on the board from the prototype ?
Yeah Rocker!
I've mailed Bytes@work asking them to accept my preorder. I've seen on the shop that they send only to Luxenbourg, Belgium and Nederland.
As they are the only ones (or nearly the only ones) accepting preorders of this board here in europe, they have accepted mine from spain. They will send me their account info as soon as they know the price and taxes to send it to spain.
It's sunday and it only takes them 5 minuts to answer my mails. Great shop :rocker:
I'm so happy cause until I saw your post I was confused about when and were would I find that board. Now I'm so happy
erm....there is a REAL peformance-boost of about 0-5% :rolleyes:Quote:

It's better then with 2x256 then 1x512 is'nt that right:) ,a now it's a drag,for best in all that you have 2x256 and 2x512,but who can afford that;).
O :brick: :am: was thinking of s939,and it as to be s754:brick: :brick: ,indeed single mem.
but, when u drive SC, u can afford more MHz ;)
and Sandra just shows the THEORETIC DualChannel-speed....that doesn't mean, that u will get 10fps more in Doom3, when u drive DC instead of SC ;)
so, i even would drive SC on a S939 to get more MHz, which gives u REAL boosts ;)
Good for you man:up: ,as far as i no the are the only shop that will have the DFI,the say that a will by one of the first one's in belgium to have the board,so am sitten with the shake's on till i have it in my possesion,a will have a:banana4: to calm down:lol: .Quote:

jep, i also preordered mine. with me it only too 3 minutes to get an answer ;) :D
so thx again Rocker :)
already have my watercooling now, and a gig 3700EB, so i'm just waiting for that DFI to arrive, so i really hope they estimation of the 14th is correct.
By the way, what would you guys suggest, an 3000+ NC of 3200+ NC. (cant find CH :() i'm still not sure wich one to buy, since most new newcastles both 3000 and 3200 seem to max out around 2600mhz (on air and water), i might not need the 11x multi. And it would save me 50€. what would you guys do?
grtz,
lifeless
Well i am still not sure witch one i'll take,a 3200+ or 3400+ if a can get a good stepping it's a 3200+,but it is not easy over here to ask the shop to look what stepping it is,the are not that happy to look for you,so it is a bit of a gamble.
Opp or BigToe,
How high can you get Vdimm by just raising the 3.3V rail?
I assume raising this 3.3V rail will raise Vdimm, right?
Does anyone know what price Bytes@work will charge for this board?
no dude, raising your 3.3 line will not raise your vdimm unless your vdimm is modded to run whatever the 3.3 line is (direct wire)
alsi it shoul dbe noted that if you are going to runn 3.3 or otherwise high vdimm you should keep you +3.3v psu line .1 above you chosen vdimm.
here is a question - I have 2x256EB - is it a bad idea to get 1x512EB and run all three dimms...512/256/256 for 1gb?
or would I kill my clocks worse than 2x512?
also at some point running 1gb with significantly lower clocks has to be worse than running 2x256 with high clocks....like a barton only being better than a tbred if you can get within 200mhz of the tbred clocks. And wouldn't extra onboard vga mem make dimms less important, ie would not 256mb agp and 512mb dimms be somewhat equivalent to 128mb agp and 1gb dimms?
Highest I got was 3.16V.Quote:

I didn't see a difference when raising my 3.3V, although I think I should have.

The latest bios allows 3.3V if i understood right, so that's a nice start, though not enough to keep my BH-5 happy over 255MHz.
Strange that raising the 3.3V rail doesn't affect Vdimm as it gets fit's juice from this rail.
Oh well, there will be mods in time i'm sure. ;)
I got that rocker :pQuote:

For benching 2 x 256 bh-5 , and gaming 2 x 512 bh-5
Yepp you right :toast: but wait next month a will kick your ass with my new a64 rig ;) en some ocz 3700EB with the booster i will :frag: you.
<dutch mode on>
t'is t'hopen hè da ik eens ne redelijken oc kan maken met dien DFI hè,als het wa mee zit heb ik alles tegen begin volgende maand,heb ook nog de OCZ 520w voeding die opkomst is,dus houd u mor al gereed hè;).
<dutch mode off>
sorry guys for the belgium talk it type's better:lol:
I really dont think your the only one here getting DFI and EB ram =))
yeah i get the 2x256=bench 2x512=game, but is it lunacy to bench 2x256 and game 256+256+512=1gb?
I sure hope not :) not overhere,but in belguim that's sometings completly differend(i hope);).Quote:

[Dutch-mode] Er zijn meer overclockers in België dan je denkt ;) [/Dutch-mode]
Ocz powerstream 520w, Ocz pc3700eb and Dfi lanparty ut-250 are on my buylist.

have all those on my desk, with a 3400+ 1mb :|
The DFI also ??
Using final retail board with modded bios allow VDIMM > 3.1V , however it is not official and no support ...Quote:

Any damage from this is also a possible condition , use it at your own risk ...
Restriction of running higher VDIMM > 3.1V
1 . CPU VID control must set to voltage other than Auto
2 . Your ATX 3.3V must be higher than your target highest VDIMM for about 0.1~0.2V
Ex : 3.3V ~ 3.4V VDIMM with ATX 3.3V@3.5V~3.6V is possible
A noob question because "i know noooothing"
Does the 3.3 volt rail from psu only power the RAM on MB ?
So if i raise this rail nothing else on MB take damage ?
Good info, thanks man!Quote:

This modded bios is not gonna be released by DFI then i'm afraid?
So with this modded bios, i can set Vcore to say +110%, adjust my ATX 3.3V to let's say 3.5V and have 3.4VDIMM?
Do you set these VDIMM values in bios or do you get these values by just raising the 3.3V rail?
modded 3.3V-BIOS will come, when OCZ-oskar has send the bios to bigtoe (afaik)
