DFI looks to have a winner here.

3rd - Use 2 sticks of BH-5 RAM at at 2-5-2-2
4rd - Rise the HTT for 350 or more

And see if it runs SuperPI (I’m not asking for a good score)…

With my "old" Gigabyte K8N (Nforce 150), I can run SuperPI with FSB (HTT) at 380 (I pick only this screen capture, because I was chasing the A64 3400+ record).

Show me this board can really beat my good old unexpensive KN8Pro ..

Please convince me that the DFI DFI Lanparty UT NF3250GB it is a little more than one (a very good one, I must admit) marketing scheme..

Please don’t came with the BS.. arguing that I only obtained this high HTT because I use the Best Dual Cascade of the Planet (Ricky’s Dual Cascade, of course) - if you put down the multiplier for 5x or less, you are at lower CPU speed than stock..right..

Let’s wait for the results..

FYI Only

Fvcking Owned!

That didn't take long...

I don't understand how the dfi board is a marketing scheme? It is a piece of exceptional hardware, and I don't see how that has anything to do with a marketing scheme.

im slightly confused, so by upping the voltage of my 3.3 line it automatically increases the voltage of my ram? because i have the OCZ powerstream 520 and when i up the voltage on it the DFI smartguardian thing doesnt show that the ram is increasing whatsoever.

Upping ATX +3.3V will not increase your VDIMM automatically unless you set higher VDIMM in bios ...

Gives you ability to choose higher vdimm options in the bios and THAT will get you the VDIMM upto some value < what your line is set to (we haven't even talked about measuring where w/ dmm) :cool:

PS: Just noticed who did the screenies above.

WAY TO GO OSKAR!!! :toast: , shows whos paying attention. :hehe:

OSKAR WU: Is that with HTT X4?? :slobber:

whoa... not 150Mhz but 275Mhz... :slobber: i just wonder what sticks are those and how much vdimm it takes for them to get there...

notice his system monitor screenie says DRAM 3.56. considering how fast his ram is overclocked and that it's at 2-2-2-5, It's definitely 2x256 sticks of BH-5.

but... oskar wu works for dfi, right

he could pick a good board, lets see someone who got theirs from gameve do this, just for verification

He probably got a random board like everyone else.

My 3.3v line is already at 3.64 or so, and no more options have appeared in the bios, the highest is still only 3.1v which is what im using

It's impossible for NF3 chipset ...

Do you have the modded bios that allows for vdim>3.1v? :stick:

What I don't get - I run the mem with 270 1:1 (4x HTT manually in bios) BUT using the HTT speed analyzer it shows me 4x200 ?!?!?!? I know its made for the Via chipset - is there a bug using it with the NF3 ?

He say put DDR in 150 option and cpu multiplier under 5X ... Based on the two setting , cpu will use divider 7 for DRAM frequency divider ...

A-DATA BH5 256MB X 2 , VDIMM = 3.6V

That's why I say FYI only ...

Due to K8 has integrated memory controller , OC limitation of same designed MB will mostly be decided by CPU itself ...

:D I think keverybody who did a bit of research on all of this A64 stuff should know this by now anyway and should not complain about his cpu not doing as well as his friend's one...:rolleyes: :cool:

HTT speed analyzer only analysis the ratio , not the FSB ...

good work oskar. I knew it was bh5! Was it your idea to do the vcore like it is? why did you choose to do it this way instead of just having all the values ready to go? I think it's cool but it's also annoying because every time I want to play with the vcore I need to use a calculator. We americans aren't the best at math, lol! Is there any difference when using 4x ht link or is 3x the best and most stable for overclocking? Currently I'm using 3x and it seems like I can overclock higher.

Probably this as been answered like a lot of times, but how do i calculate the mem speed with the 180 divider? or is there any program that shows the speed?

Thanks!

What LDT were you using OSKAR_WU?

wow.... sry, i definately didn't know there was a modified bios. anyone happen to have the link for it?

I posted a link to them twice I think. Check a few of my posts back.

use the modded BIOS, there are 3.2V~4.0V options
