direct enough?
I also did a bios comparison sometime back, someone may find it helpful. They were done with a Lanparty Ultra II B and it had a Radeon 9200 VC.
great job, it would be interesting to see the 1/21 bios, the 6/19 bios, and the tictac 3d fire bios...
only problem with this test is that it shows nothing about overclocking.
Were you referring to the post just prior? "All test done with 10x255, 2-2-2-11" Granted it is not extreme, but I wanted to be sure that as much as possible could be done as I did not know exactly to expect with some of the bios. I did use the 1/21 bios most of the time as it would let me run 260 x10 and 258x11 with DI anytime.Quote:

np, I did not know.
Got an LPB today, from TW and it shows, realy high quality soldering and such... i need to reinstall windows though....
so im trying to get the HF rev3 bios right now as windows wont detect my SATA drive during the install on the 3Dfire bios, and i cant find a working link for the HFrev3 anywhere...
anyone know where i can find it? should i just get the 1/21 for now?
lucky you for finding a tw one. I looked alot of places, bought some and returned and never did get another one. I have one I'm content with now. 1/21 was a very good bios for mine. the hf3 was a bit faster possibly, but 1/21 very stable. many bios here: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/show...p?t=789&page=1 EDIT: wow, that is not cool, here is one : http://ax2.old-cans.com/N24LD619-3EG-REV3.zip
Nice to saw my link used :p: :D
Revv23 - good luck with this bejby. Should you PM me where you bought it, pls? ;)
thanks a bunch for that second link coop, as you no doubt saw, the first one wasnt working.
trodas, no need for PM, got it from newegg...guess i was lucky? :p:
Well, I've got a lot of problem's with flashing my Infinity.
AWDFLASH says, that the bios size (Hellfire rev.3) isn't correct.
What do you guys think about this? May I try winflash?
Hmm, weird.
Should be same size. Winflash could work. There's only one way to find out: TRY it :D
hmmm maybe try getting another copy of the bios?
i did kamikaze run just now
Vcore@1.87v
vdimm @ 3.8v
NB volt @ 1.9v
AGP @ 1.6v
timing : 2-2-2-2-5-13-15-1T
trying to maxed out my TwinMOS Speed Premium
both stick only manage to hit 240MHz 3D stable
anything higher than that error all the way...
do you think i need L12 mod for my proc? Running on Applebred Tbred A here
oh yea... almost forgoten... i write simple article how to volt mod this board this board with pencil
you can read it here:

nice arcticle too btw.
no my bios have dont have L12 mod... i guess that must be the reason...
Your BIOS doesn't have L12 mod? (3D Fire R2)
Your ''Pencil Guide'' is very very good! Now i can stable run 246x11,5 with 2,05V and 3,45V vdimm... good job TicTac :toast:
all my modded DFI bios dont have any L12 mod......
i wonder maybe this is the reason why it is not as good as Merlin / Hellfire bios
im wondering, how well does that applebred like FSB?
Oh please make sure if you use Vdimm Pencil mod.... dont select any voltage lower than 3.2v in bios optionQuote:

in case you clear cmos... plz clean up that resistor back to default... or else it just wont boot with 4 LED indicator :slobber:
tictac, w/ the pencil vcore mod, do you still have to do the vsens mod?
i ask because i'm at 250x10=2500, and not even 2.0v vcore(setting) gets me into windows with 250x10.5=2625, and am debating doing the vcore/vsens mod w/ pots and smd grabbers(you know, the 2 wires you say to ignore in your pencil mod guide :D )
i know i can do 222x12=2664(at least, i could on my abit nf7-s)
also, as you can see in my sig, i'm getting 250x10, 11-2-2-2.0, now, i'm using whatever is the latest bios from dfi's website, would your or any other bios help me? does this board require the L12 mod? my abit needed it, i used a bios w/ the L12 mod and went from 222 to ~240 b4 i fried the board in a multimeter measuring incident leading me to get this dfi lp nf2 ultra-b
fixed my post to say "not even 2.0v vcore(setting) gets me into windows w/ 250x10.5=2625, and am........"
let me know if i can delete this
i havent tested the pencil Vcore mod higher than 2.0V... so i dont know if it need Vsense mod...
but anything lower than 2.0v dont need Vsense mod... just simple resistor pencil mod :)
Regarding L12 mod... i have no idea at all.... yeah NF7-S gain better stability with L12 mod...
Most LPB/Infinity can clock high enough even without L12 mod...
but.... i think SAE did L12 mod on his board tho... :hehe:
SAE did but i dont think he knows if it gained him anything... i believe he was being redundant...
molester, i have had much better luck with the beta bios'es (1/21 specifically) and even better luck with HF3 (basically same as 1/21 with different romsip and L12 built in)
I also did well with tictac's bios, and vsense does nothing, you need to do the OCP mod, SAE posted pictures of it a few pages back, i would think that the OCP has to be done as even at 2.0vcore on stock board the vcore isnt very stable.
