what kind of instability are you getting at high voltages? I'd like to reproduce those on my system to verify.... I tried 2v vcore and 3.3v dimm and it seems ok but I didn't test anything strong...

I have done a BIOS update and installed a new stick of Corsair 3700 DDR to try if the overl:banana::banana::banana::banana:ing would be better but all I could get the board up to was 140 mhz so it's nothing amazing. It's more of an average board even though it looked very 'overclocker friendly' when looking at the layout etc
140MHz on the FSB wasn't the only thing, check his CPU temps and 12v rail!!!!!!
Also, look at the benchmarks, they are so radically different he couldn't possibly have used the same CPU, FSB, RAM and that!!
How he drew his conclusions I don't know.
Talk about n00bie reviewer to the XTREME :D
On mine it would either lock up after 30-min or right away durring prime95.. Either a lock up or reboot is usually its choice hehe.Quote:

Now that could be at 2gigs or at 2400Mhz.. It dont matter.
Oh mine does this on my barton 2500+ if i go over 1.95v.
Though strange i had it stable in prime95 at 2500Mhz with a low 166FSB just so i could take the voltage to a min of 1.75v on the vdimm.
On my board it seems i cant do both high 3.0+ v VDIMM and over 1.95v vcore at the same time.
Tested ever combination for hours and was starting to think it was my CPU till she ran that 2500Mhz.
That vcore fluxes sometime as high as .1 ! I had it at 1.9v and it droped at 1.82 then shot up to 1.98.. heheh crazy board.
Hopefully the one I get will be better....... Although I'm contemplating getting a NF7-S V2.
rofl.. your right there. his 12v line is at 10v lol... how do you test a high end board with a cpu taht wont go over 140fsb with a cpu temp of 60° and 10v line... wth?
ahhhhg nooo i dont want to hear about voltage flux on this board.. grr..
i figured it would have to haveit due to those TINY pathetic mosfets... *sigh*
how is your psu voltages doing with those crazy vcore fluctuations? are your psu voltages stable?
What on the P/S itself?
thats what i was trying to ask lol..
I wish i could check.. Damn DM only goes up to 2v for DCV :( Damn never noticed that before.
omg WEAK!
hop by radio shack, a DMM is like $6, good thing to have around.
heh i bought this one from radio shack about 6 months ago for 20.00 i think.. I didnt see anything for 6 bucks.
They had some nicer ones but where over 50 bucks.. I dont need it that much.
ok i lied thats teh solder iron thats like 6 bucks. the DMM is 20, lil yellow guy. i have that one works well enough.
Ok, I did reproduced the problem. My cpu is rock solid at 2500Mhz with 1.85v; I tried to prime at 2500 at different voltages and the results are:Quote:

1.85v = fine
1.90 = fine
1.95v = occasionally problems at sound and lan after a while
2v = same as 1.95v but prime fails after a while
The first two thing I will look at are mosfets and southbridge.
Must be the mosfets. I originally laped my SB since there HS wasnt makin good contact at all cause the chip was no where near flat.
Yes, but sound and lan problems seem a southbridge business... I didn't remove that crap of HS on it, should I? :D
eclypse, is it possible that you recieved a faulty mobo maybe?
you can always return it for the same mobo and see if the problems you had are still present
and I also might get this DFI Lanparty NF2 Ultra B mobo if I decide not to get a A64 for my new gaming rig (first build :) )
Right.... These VCore issues are definitely putting me off getting a DFI Infinity NFII.....
NF7-S V2 it is! hmm, or maybe another AN7? I think the AN7 I got is just faulty rather than a poor overclocker.... I mean, losing keyboard functionality is not good!
most AN7 are gettign 220fsb+ with no problems. yours is probly bad. if you RMA youll get a board from the new batch with no hand mods.
Iolao, Yeah theres just a Thermo pad on there now and it was only touching the outer edges.. Everyone knows how hot the SB gets.. I'm sure that HS with that pad aint doing squat but makin it worse.. i took mine off and lapped it so good that i just used regular white goop and it was suctioned to it..hehe.
Sickness.. yeah its possable but from what everyone was talking about at AMDMB.com it seems i'm not the only one with a voltage prob.
Besides i have a 144 1.8Ghz Opteron coming monday and i'm gona turn it into an FX chip by hopefully overclocking it to 2.2Ghz.. Should'nt have a prob though cause a buddy of mine named Mario over at www.overdrivepc.com says that its all he has been selling is the Opteron systems and FX system.. The opterons he's using are the 140 1.4Ghz model and he's getting 1.9+ Ghz with them easy he says with stock voltage. The FX chip he's saying around 2.4Ghz with air and 2.7Ghz with a promy. All using Corsair 2700 on the opterons and 3200 on the FX systems.
:D
So if all goes well i'll have another 2500+ Unlocked Barton to sell soon maybe if i dont keep it for a spare rig.. if i can buy another mb..
I'd go with the AN7 myself! Since i never got to test it fully before the 3rd dimm took a crap cause i connected that cut trace on the board hehe.
So any news on that stability probs above 1.9 core voltage?Did u try mosfets etc?
Mine's either rebooting under load or just does not boot into win... could be my f***ed up installation though :rolleyes:Quote:

At everything over 1,85VCore :(
P.S. If I had more Vdimm I could do a badass §DMark at 260dc fastest timings ;)
Already did one at 255x10 :) Around 22100... :banana:
But looping 3dmark at 252 is not stable over 30 to 60 minutes :(
I try solving the prob when I get home tomorrow.
YES, more vdimm!!!! I cant do anything but load windows over 250x10... could be the CPU's limit??
EDIT: No... not the CPU limit... I just remembered I tried to bench at 250+ with 9 multi.
Today I swapped that §§§§ty HS on the SB and replaced it with the northbridge's larger one. So far I'm trying again for 1.95v with rock stable settings to be sure and it has been priming for an hour up to now... we'll see.Quote:

Ok, now everything seems stable with 2v vcore. I have no longer loss of sound or net and it has been priming for an hour now at 233x11; I had also a little play with Need for Speed Underground and no problems.
EDIT: just had lost of sound, I'm gonna recheck at 1.95v tomorrow.
MCP-T get very hot without heatsink..
Southbridge have mouting holles?
Anyone having cold boot problems on this board when the Vcore and Vdimm are up? The 12v line dropped on my Antec 412 to 11.04v...So I put a Fortron 400 on it and that stopped some of the black screen problems (now 11.06) but when it's cold I have to clear the CMOS and save the optimized defaults and slowly up the vcore a couple of quarters of a tenths a few times from 1.6 (default) 1.8v and then I can do anything I want in the bios, (N24IDC10).
Very Strange...:confused:
Edit: Typo...11.6v for the Fortron...
Upun further tests my max stable vcore is now 1.90v (tested with 4h of prime95). So cooling better SB made me gain 0.05v... I'm gonna try mosfet cooling now.
Ok,
I'll mess with the SB and take the pad off, lap and see if that helps. What type of voltage are you getting on the 12v and 5v line at 1.90v?
Remember, use a multimeter, don't go by the daft readings the motherboard gives you ;)
Yeah, I know the boards readings can have a tendency to lie…:)
~12.25v ~5.05v ~3.35vQuote:

Read from mosfets with DMM with prime95 running and vcore set to 1.95v.
What PSU are you using?
Antec PP-412XFQuote:

Good news from my last tests. Cooling down the mosfets HAS indeed effect, as I'm now no longer experiencing vcore issues (tried usual prime under 1.95v and it's fine for two hours then I stopped it, I'm gonna check 2v now) and above all my board seems now to handle vdd higher than 1.7v, which is a great point for my future plans :) This board definitely needs vmodding, I need vcore up to 2.1v, higher vdimm (reading from mosfets says 3.20v when set 3.30v in bios) and hopefully vdd of 2v and above.
Was really wondering about that. Thanks.
When I try my new board I'll leave the side of my case off and blow some air at areas I will later heatsink anyways once I decide whether to keep the board. Going to be tempting to put some sort of heatsinks on right away though. Come to think of it, any details on type of cooling you employed?
Very good news iolao :D You just convinced me to get this board ;) Keep up the good work mate.
All the night sandra burnin (memory) at 2v and no problems. It seems at least I solved vcore issue :D
U rock :D what kind of cooling did u use for the mosfets?Heatsinks+Fan blowing above them?
heatsinks and fans everywhere :D It's a bit disappointing as I would expect a board to be ready as it comes, but that's ok, for now the most important thing is to have solved my voltage issues (vcore and vdd).Quote:

Couple n00b questions....
@Iolao... the mosfets on this board are really small, what kind of heatsinks did you use & did you cut them down to size?
@Anybody... Im gonna need better cooling on NB & SB but it also seems Im gonna need to lap these chips... can somebody point me to a LAPPING GUIDE? :D
Thanx!!
I had several little hs and used them, otherwise yes you can cut larger ones to be the dimensions you like. I have to point it out that I'm cooling the BACK of the mosfets as it's there that heat is spreading; to fit them you need thermal pad (be sure it's not elecctrically conductive or you're gonna short the board).Quote:

this is for abit nf7-s but obviously it's the same:

Thanx Iolao!!!
Got any pics of your cooling mods?
Hi all.
I already wondered before if cooling the tiny mosfets would help. But I am a little frightened when mounting the prom and ripping off one hs 2gether with one of these tinies ;)
But if it resolves my vcore issues I'll take my chances...
All I can conclude is: Iolao, you are the pioneer in the mosfet issue ;)
:toast:
Hey guys, thank you all! :D However being more realistic there's no magical trick, I suppose not everyone is going to gain by cooling the mosfets; since the boards are different one from another as it was for abit nf7-s, cooling mosfets can be ONE way, not THE way to go, it's all about how the mobo reacts, hope it helps. Apart from that i'm still disappointed with a mobo manufacturer that claims "this motherboard is for overclocking" and then you discover how poor is voltage circuitry. Just to make an example: my psu rails are really high measured from molex (that tells you what voltages the psu is giving actually), but reading from mosfets on the board (that tells you instead how the mobo efficiently uses the rails) keeps having a HUGE difference. The final word is that if you have a bad or average psu you're going to sit down at low fsb or low vcore. That's why I'm looking for a 5v mod directly on the mosfets: as power circuitry is holding me back I would juice mosfets directly from psu and that *should* translate in the possibility to run high vcore/high vdimm/ high fsb in the same time. It's all upon hypothetical base, but hey I need to first realize and then act consequently :)
I don't have any camera, sorry. However for all you guys going to put hs on the back, be very careful not to directly touch the back of the mobo, a thermal tap is necessary definitely.Quote:

Im guessing heatsinks on the back of the mobo is not gonna work when putting it in a case.
:) ... atleast none of the heatsinks I have seen.

who has the bloody infinity's in stock!?!?!?!?!?!
WOW! Good thing I ordered yesterday. they jacked the price $4 and they dont have it again. Trying to get as early an Nb as possible. Seems they had some stock or something. Less problems with BH5 than AN7.
edit: they=newegg
omg.. i was going to order it then but i didnt have conformation from excaliber that i had a refund comming, and by the time i got home to order it THEY WERE OUT!! AHHHHHH!!!!!
<--- not a happy spork.
Iolao..how can u mount heatsinks in the back of the mosfets,if the motherboard is installed on the cabinet??Have u got it all on a table?Ill stick heatsinks and a fan to blow on them on top of the mosfets,wont that work?
yes, all on a table. Mosfets spread heat in their back so I think cooling the up side is less effective.Quote:

This isn't stable, but it runs 2minutes in Prime then crashes.
I run it like this:
Timings: 6-3-3-2
Vcore: 1,7
VDMM: 3,0
Chipset: 1,9 (Max)
Makes me think I got one of these boards instead because this is about what my other PSU (Antec 403) read in the bios last night on this Infinity. This board is severely under volted, it's a week 24 NB...there's obviously more of these out there lurking...:(Quote:

Looks like this is gonna be my next board..... I'll give you lot 2 weeks to work out the bugs then I'll get one :D
just got one myself.
btw, i'm kinda confused which version of BIOS do you guy use.
the beta bios provided by Oskar_Wu or the one data 2003/11/17 on their site?
http://www.dfi.com.tw/Upload/BIOS/LPNFIIULB1127.ZIP It works really well :)
sorry I have the infinity here not the lan party
are u sure the 11-27bios is better than the one provided by oskar_wu?
if i'm not mistaken, Iolao and the rest were having problem with the 11-27 BIOS right?
YES, Use the beta bios provided by OSKAR_WU!!
OSKAR_WU's beta bios...
For NFII ULTRA INFINITY
For LP NFII ULTRA B
11-27 BIOS is official now , 12-12 is the latest beta ...Quote:

but there will be a new beta soon(maybe tomorrow) which break the FSB limitation of 260MHz if you got the right dram to equip with the board .... The new beta bios also bring back the lost bandwidth when FSB > 200 MHz but multiplier lower than 10X ...

the bandwidth test using different multiplier after new beta bios(not publish yet) ...

i'm so glad that I got myself the infinity instead of abit nf7-s rev2.0 :)
oskar_wu, what is your system spec? thanks in advance.
I've got the Lan Party NF2 - B board, with the stock bios that came with it (don't know which one)
do I need to update it to any of the new ones to allow for better overclocks? etc.
My current CPU/RAM is the bottleneck I believe. (1700+, TwinMOS PC3200 CH5 2x256)
Thanks all :)
Cool ! :D
Btw, are there any Vmods around for this mobo ? ie, Vdimm, Vdd ?
Yes, flash with the new beta bios, released 12/12.
Oskar, why does your bandwidth efficiency fluctuate from so low to so high?
sandra memory buffered is cpu speed influenced; in fact scores grow when raising multiplier... it's interesting to note that when using a half multipliersscore boost is less then expected...Quote:

where did you guys get the new 12/12 beta bios?
Bad news :( My board randomly loses lan when vcore is higher than 1.85v again... So cooling SB and mosfets didn't make me gain anything but the ability to set high vdimm and high vcore together for bench while I was having reboots and blue screens before; it seems moreover, as stated by others, that highering vcore reduces ram oc by a few mhz, that's why many of us testing ram and fsb lower multy&vcore cannot mantain the same high fsb with greater multy&vcore, setting ram down a little shoulde settle that...
i would like to know too, where you guys got this 12/12 bios. mine is 12/10 beta. this board is the bomb digity. 245x10 is where i stand so far.
some of you are right though. my board reboots occasionaly when using 2.0vcore but it's ok with 1.95.
also i've notice that at 245x10 having it set to cpu aggressive makes no difference then when it's set to optimal. any one else notice this with this board
Its like how much is this guy getting payed to advertise this board?
I'm going to be picking up yet another NF2 board.. Is it gona be DFI? Nope.. Not with those crappy little Mosfets and voltage probs. I dont care how high it can go.. it wont be stable for long at high voltages on the vcore and vdimm.. Whats the point?
I'm picking up another NF7-S 2.0 and a AN7.. I'll keep the one that gives me the stable high overclock.
Ok , since this is how you feel about my post here , I will disappear from here after the post ...Quote:

For user who need new beta bios please go to www.amdmb.com DFI forum section to see the post ...
I apologize for what I have done here ...
You dont have to dissapear.. A new bios is good in all but i dont see whats its gona help if the real problem lies in the voltage regulators?
Why dont you touch on the boards voltage problems insted?
OSKAR_WU,
what memory are you using with the DFI infinity board?
Hey OSKAR. :)Quote:

Don't go away. 99% of the people here want you to share your knowledge with us... and myself, I would be lucky to have a good support as you give us with ya betas everytime.
I am gonna max the board out and I like it more than the crappy abits of the last few months ;)
And there will be more peeps needing your help and support here.
Keep up the good work.
Bye

Damn, its sad that Iolao has had problems in the end...even with cooling south and mosfs...OSKAR if you are still around(i really hope you are),tell us,is there any way for those voltage stability probs to be solved?Iolao have u tried 2volts vcore with lower FSB and higher multi??Probs with that too?
My 2 cents - we have a diverse group here OSKAR. Don't let a few doubters scare you away, doubting is one of the things that add some spice to some great overclock work.
I, for one, have just bought an Ultra II based on your successes and BIOS efforts. Thank you! and good luck wherever you land :)
I agree we need your help and support.
yah... most of us appreciate your support and we have a bunch of people willing to try new beta bios's and new boards. For a smaller forum, we sure have a lot of guys that have already ditched an AN7 and have one of these in the mail. Truly diseased. :D
No reply yet though... that stinks my infinity will be here today :(
I give mad props to those that edit bios's and drivers for us OC'ers. The 3d mark champs get there props. But this.... It's a neat alternative and another example of taking a hobby to the next level. Kudos.
I'm starting to think it's also high fsb related. When I wasn't having any prob I remember I was set @ 227 with 2v vcore, from when I started testing prime again at higher fsb (237-242) problem reappeared.Quote:

wow.. got my infinity.. great packageing but those mosfets are TIIINNNYYYY
this mobo has the same vdd mod as the AN7. no i wont test it. LOL
but one thing i noticed... HAND SOLDERED RESISTOR.
look just under the dimm slots. i dont know if this has been covered but mines got a lil hand soldered resistor there. anyone else have it?
there are a few new settings in the BIOS.
would like to knwo what you guys set it.

Man, you have no experience with this board what so ever and here you are talking like you've owned it your whole life. Sure the mosfet are small, but what does that mean exactly? Is'nt smaller sometimes better? Lets ask Intel and AMD that question. I've been running a full week at 240x10 1.9v and not one hicup. But you have your own opion and it's your money, so do what you do.Quote:

As for how much he getting paid, I would say alot since he's in charge of DFI's bios team. He's hear to solve/help our problems and to see how else he can make this board better. Good job O, and let me know where this new beta bios is.
hey eclypse, good luck and get your solder iron and pencil ready. while I keep my warrenty.
What are you talkin about? I had that board in my possession for over a week runing with water cooling.. I gave that board a few chances after i packaged it all back up.. even after i got my RMA.Quote:

Dont get me wrong.. i loved all the "Bling Bling" with that DFI LP U B. I loved it.. But every board i love ends up being a dud. Everything with it owned but what good is it all if the board is handycaped with terrible voltage probs??? Its not gona run very fast.. which really dont make sense making beta BIOS for an already doomed board from the factory.. Yeah hey ya can run at 260-300 FSB with some Cas 3 4000+ ram but once ya turn up the voltage.. BAM! No more fun.
Have fun with your new board.. I guess some people will only believe what they want to hear. But please, go buy the board and see for yourself.
Oh and no i dont need my moding tools for the AN7.. Its got everything you could want.. and better yet, Randi has in his hands a beta bios for it. :) Future looks bright to me.
Welcome to Xtreme, khopdub :D

Cheers
Snagged it! Thanks, Mickey Padge
and especially, thank you OSKAR :)
And, eclypse - wish you the best in your endeavors as well :)
I don't own the LPRev B, so I don't know nothing about it. All I know is what I see with this Infinity. Since the beginning of this year, I've owned MSI, Abit, Epox and DFI Rev A, and Infinity. This Infinity board by far is the best. What's funny is hearing you talk about this voltage problem. A simple bios fix might fix the problem with 2.0v ( in my case ), or it might not. For example, a simple bios fix already fix one voltage problem. But so far with all the so called voltage problems, it's still the fastest board I've owned. So if my proc doesn't like 2.0v or if it's my motherboard, I guess I am going to have to deal with it. Hell, some boards don't even have 2.0v.Quote:

Dont get me wrong.. i loved all the "Bling Bling" with that DFI LP U B. I loved it.. But every board i love ends up being a dud. Everything with it owned but what good is it all if the board is handycaped with terrible voltage probs???

Don't get me wrong it's ok to be a loyalist, but damn how hard does the truth have to smack you before you can see it. So yeah, I guess your right , some people will only believe what they want, and you sonny boy, are no exception.
holla..
O glad to be here, SEA.....:toast:
So that beta bios fixes some issues that the current bios has?
For me it seems it is less stable than the one from 12/10/2003 :(
But maybe I set sth up wrongly... I reinstalled windows yesterday :rolleyes: But it was f***ed up before from the abit :)
I really hope this DFI LanParty NFII Ultra B is good, I have just ordered one from here
Cant wait :D
