I'm using it now. 3.2vdimm! I adjusted my 3.3 rail on my ocz powerstream and it works great!
It is my enermax PSU, setting 3.2V Vdimm in BIOS gives around 3.18~3.20V I want a 3.3V adjustable PSU... :DQuote:

I have an Enermax myself and modded the 3,3V rail by putting a 10ohm fixed resistor inline in the 3,3V sense wire and from there a pot to ground.
Cant remember the value of the pot but if you want to know, pm me.
Works like a charm.
Q: Do you raise Vdimm by just raising the 3,3V rail or do i have to raise the 3,3V rail about 0,1V higher than my desired Vdimm and then set the value for Vdimm in bios?

currently his rig with the 4400 does about 27.5k in 3dmark2001 what do you think he'll gain with the BH-5 if it does 2-2-2-5 at 250?
I told him to buy the BH-5 over EB or Ballistix. was that good advice? note that he has the same psu as me and the bios is ready to go with the 4Vdimm support so he can push that BH-5 to the limit!!!!!

or could someone explain me, what the option really does :)
My BH-5 seems fine in dimm 1+3 at 248 so far, working up the memtest ladder... (3.2Vdimm go look at my settings on dfi-street- installed thread)Quote:

A have allso 2x256mb bh5's to go with the a64,but a will allso buy 512mb EB's to,to be sure you no :) .
Getting all my parts today.
Was wondering, maybe put a new thread with all useful info from this thread to ppl that will begin to overclock this motherboard.
33 pages (and other threads) is alot of info to go thru when you need info on bios setting and such.
Gonna try later when i have time to do that.
well got my DFI NF3-250Gb setup... had a few problems
1. Swiftech MCW6002 waterblock's screws aren't the right size - too short with the springs or too long without springs and won't fit the DFI stock retention bracket. I had to place a thin pad of foam under the backplate underside of board to position the backplate flush against the back side of motherboard, then use the DFI stock retention bracket's screws by themselves to securely fasten the MCW6002 waterblock
2. board came with 27/8/04 bios and 1x 256MB OCZ PC3500EB would only boot 1/6th of the time, 1x 256MB ADATA PC4000 boots everytime
3. 27/08/04 bios recognises my AMD64 3400+ Newcastle as Sempron in memtest86+ v1.25 heh
so now what's the right command to flash the bios
awdflash 140904.bin /F
or
awdflash 140904.bin /F/QI
?

Anybody tried A-DATA DDR500 with the board?
cheers

yes, i know....that's why i'm asking ;)
i "think" level1 will be the most oc-friendly (i'm driving level2, too)...but i wanted to know.....sandra-benchies didn't bring me the answer (exactly same results)
:)
oh man, could someone explain me the cryptical dividers of the board?
with the modded 9/14-bios they're somehow "difficult" to understand :stick:
Using that very ram right this moment to test stability - 1x 256MB ADATA PC4000 hehe boots fineQuote:

Currently I'm running 2x512 ADATA Banks 1 and 3. They work fine but when I readed your post I was searching for the best OC with them. I don't know what is the highest vdimm they like and don't like to burn them. I was confused about the DRAM DriveStrenght-Options too.Quote:

HTT 255x4
Looking for more info on same config (DFI + 1Gb ADATA)
I got no markable stability difference in using Drive strength 1~4 :D
I left it auto now... :D
