Yeah the whole 8x not being enough clearly is false from the tests done. Could it be better with 16x? Perhaps. But 8x is functional. This is clearly a marketing issue, and Nvidia would prefer to sell 1 card to the rest of the market or let those folks go to the ATI side of things. Stupid, since they likely make as much or more from selling a card as selling a chipset, but no one ever said they were playing this one smart. lol
Huh? Not SLI 975X, I know Nvidia is bull:banana::banana::banana::banana: about that, I'm talking about SLI on NF5Quote:

For one.
So, are there any news about a 975 Lanparty board coming on the road?
I skiped few pages... can I run Core 2 Duo cpu on "INFINITY 1975X/G" (thats how its listed on my pricelist)?
I'm not sure if it's the same one as in the topic... if it's the same, can I use it to run a full functional Core 2 Duo system without modding right?
It was not on the DFI roadmap however FreeCableGuy has said that is coming, albiet after the RD600 and NF590 Intel Lanparty boards.Quote:

so whats this i hear about this board can be crossfire and sli?!?!!?
Pretty much all 975X boards do CF (afaik). SLI requires hacked (non-nvidia certified) drivers.Quote:

They should cost around 100 - 150$....
DFI rulez, as on latest AMD platform.
Any ETA for Lanparty's ?
How the hell did you deduce that DFI "rulez" !??!Quote:

This one, i don't know of course, but come with some nice options in bios..
Hmmm... can't wait, looks very promising :)
After going arround with the issue of which mobo select i think that now a days Intel BA rev3.04 is the best one, given performance and stability shown arround here. And also the fact that has no secrets for lots of people here that can teach and solve issues quickly (thats an important added value IMO)
Just one bad point for me, the rest of the mobos are more Bios-friendly.
But that is a matter of learning and somehow challenge your self, so till the release of the RD600, or NF5 in any manufacturer line up DFI, Asus, Gigabity and so on, i'll go for the bad axe.
So waiting for a Lanparty or an ASUS conroe ready "monster" the 975XBX it's for me the 1st
Little side note: I just called oc-wear.com and they're still not sure if the Infinity boarda arrive this week. he also said I'm about the 50th caller to ask for that board! :D
Love the BIOS options! Finally a board that can make 2.65v VDIMM!
BTW, that's some awesome memory you got there coolaler!
Even newer news for the germans. Official shipping date for german shops is 28th June !
Don't waste your time on Mix Computer claiming that they already have it in stock, I just called them.
Not to be a party-pooper but if the Intel Infinity line is what the Infinity line is to the NForce4 boards, then I'm not interested. My Infinity SLI can be described as crippled by BIOS underengineering.
So that means the non-Infinity (Lanparty) will have ATI's chipset?
That's how it looked like on the last DFI roadmap i saw.Quote:

Why are all the good mobos coming out late??? :(
Because Intel did something no one expected. They issued on time.
lol

Received 1 yesterday , and 1 today http://mekk.homeip.net/DFIinfinity/
Waiting for E6600 :-w ...
newegg has it in stock 250us~
ouch.. thats more expensive the any LP i seen.
Whatever happend to Coolaler?
Hello guys, i would say if DFI 975x/g vdrop, and max FSB.
Thanks ;)
What are the best for overclock: ASUS or DFI?
Need screens with high fsb...
DFI board max on 1066 strap is 370fsb..
Its possible a bios with 1333 strap ?
no :(
Why not ? :( Maybe a mod bios?
Tony , where are you? :D
Like i said.. no :) it can't be done.
Only a new revision could do it.
Ooops .... That's sad ...
who told you no?Quote:

Please note i have been telling most people to get the 6700 ot 6800 with the DFI or ANY Intel chipset board, reason being its blinding fast with higher multi's on the CPU, Clevor overclockers will use the 1066 strap anyway as its faster ;) so even if we get a bios that pushes the strap over 1066 you may want to run it anyway ;)
T
You could always force the 1333 with the BSEL pins on the CPU, so it is possible now even with a hardware mod.
T
hmm they told me it wasnt possible with bios.. lets just hope.
All I need is 400 FSB for the time being until other mobo come out in a few months.
Will the DFI be ok for 400 x 9 with my E6600?
I have read this thread but i'm still a bit confused.
Some are saying that 370 is only achievable.
Can someone please clarfiy this for me before I order this mobo please?
The bad axe I got rid of,and the asus is having problems at the mo so the DFI seems the only choice as a stop gap mobo.
Ideally I want 3.6ghz for now.
Thanks in advance.:)
Thanks for the update Tony, can you please link or explain the BSEL pins to force 1333 strap please ???Quote:

I hope DFI will resolve this "bug" with a Bios Update :)
Hope DFI will sort this things fast:)
Heres 3D results so far with this board...

can you not get 400 fsb?
And is smart guardian buggy as your cpu temp is way off!:eek:
he is at an fsb wall
he is using a cascade, smart guardian cant read negative temps.
so even if you volt mod mch to say 1.9v the dfi can't get past >370fsb at 1067fsb ?Quote:

im confused lol
I was about to ask that as well. Maybe he has a beta bios
Thanks for the info.Quote:

hopefully DFI can fix itQuote:

400FSB possible, but with lower mem. strap...

Nice result man. I think it's about 99% sure now that the 1333FSB strab will fix the problems you guys have. Your result really indicates that the wall is caused by timings in the chipset.Quote:

Also, does anyone know which Fat D9 Modules are the best to go for?
1GB or 2GB kits depending on Max O/C Hit.
Thanks in advance. :)
0707 bios will open (6800XE) stepping 4 multis, not stepping 5:(

Pff, all this trouble. Every board has some quirks I guess, but nobody seems to get Conroe right at this point. I'm sure it will be a matter of bios update, but knowing DFi this might take some time :rolleyes:Quote:

I have an 830D that I have used to change settings (it works fine with this POS chip :rolleyes: ), I have tried all the ram settings from 400 upto 667, I have tried really loose timings with no luck, I have tried with just one stick of my G.Skill 6400 with no luck, tried upping Vcore, NDv etc etc and each time I do any change I then put the E6600 back in but each time its the same.....................nothing, no post, no bios, I have even changed/tried every bios with no luck
Can anyone help ??? :confused:
I have now swapped over CPU's 16 times and I am now convinced this Conroe is dead
weird alpha shamino and others have issues with some dividers on this DFI board and not booting http://forums.vr-zone.com.sg/showpos...23&postcount=3 and http://forums.vr-zone.com.sg/showpos...06&postcount=7
but since you tried all the dividers hmmm
hopefully it ain't the cpu as that E6600 worked fine on my badaxe...
hiya i have the same board dfi infinity and it posted out of the box i currently have 07/07/06 beta bios off dfi site and it is working well currently at 391 fsb 3.52ghz at 1.57 volts and corsair pc 8500 at 5 4 4 15 4/5 ddr 977 , a ok working, when i first installed the board i went for ambitious overclocks and at times it would not even post but used the cmos jumper and was ok again i have a step 5 qpge 6600 es and it worked straight out of the box so i don't think its a board problem if you cleared the cmos
jesus dude your running 1.57v just for 3.52ghz wtf thats bad and wrong...

I cannot boot past 320 fsb with this ram,Tried both ram slots and the beta bios and the latest bios from DFI's site.
However when I put 2 512mb crucial ballistix in i can boot straight at 9 x 400 fsb running prime stable at 3.6ghz. at 1.375v
Any ideas?
Just a compatibility problem with the HZ?
Thanks
I have asus P5W Dh and G skill like you ( HZ 6400 x 2 giga ) and can't boot over 390 .... maybe your theory is right .. :(Quote:

i'll try a lower vcore say 1.45, its watercooled so even with the 1.57 idled around 40 degrees
My DFI 975X/G is maxing out at 440FSB with 4:3 divider.
I did the VMCH mod and raised the voltage from 1.75V to 1.85V.
No gain in FSB overclockability in 4:3 mode :(
I´ll try the VFSB mod next.
hi what volts to vcore and was it stable over 400 fsb, i'mm stuck at 390ish but have been using using 4:5 with corsair 8500, aalso whats the ppm mean on the genie bios settings anybodyQuote:

Only Clockgen 1.0.4.7 beta supports ICS9LPRS509DGLF pll which DFI uses.Quote:

thganks a lot stilt for the clockgen , works 100% , i am now on 4:3 divider boots a ok at 400fsb , but just freezes if i say just go up a couple of notches in clockgen say above about 404fsb tried loose timings, tight timings low volts high volts, still the same chipset at 1.75 (which is watercooled) so i think till a bios update thats the limit of my particular board, prime stable, got the corsair at 3-3-2-1 now rock solid at ddr600, i'd love 420 fsb but i think its the bios holding us back, as 400 fsb seems to be the general max and thats with the 4:3
thanks again the stilt for the info
So is it a bios problem that you can't use 1:1 divider on that fsb? Seems like a great mobo but until they fix that I have think twice getting it.Quote:

I really hope that the issues are not here to stay.
DFI "tried" for over a year to fix 5:4 divider issue on LanParty 875P-T.
That was really a shame, since it was the best Socket 775 DDR1 board ever made.
Spank those Biosta... err... DFI engineers ;)
so 400fsb is even achieveble without preformance loss if im reading all these posts correct browsed threw all 12 pages seems like this board is having alot of problems from all the ppl that got this board this sucks
so is this the board to go for, or is it a 371fsb strap at 1:1 ?
I tried google with no luck and cant find Clockgen 1.0.4.7 beta anyware ??? any links please :)Quote:
