Hmm. I do know for sure it gained me further stability. Once I was testing bioses with integrated L12, I could not get anything higher than 240 stable... could bench higher though. Stability came with "wire mods" - L12 and 1.775V default. :)
I'd recommend it.
ok, well, this overclocker fried his nf7-s simply by trying to read the vdd voltage w/ a multimeter, if i can't do it w/ a pot and grabbers, i can't do it :bsod:
guess ill try tictac's latest bios, see how that does me :stick:
bad news :(
I replaced my Infinity TicTac 3D R2 BIOS with Hellfire rev.3 and did TicTac pencil vcore and vdimm mod.
Then I set 250x11,5 1,950V (with pencil mod it was 2,04V) and 3,3V to mem (real 3,45V). Saved settings, restart and.... nothing :mad:
Well, I tried restarting with pushing down Insert key -> nothing, then I reseted bios settings with jumper -> nothing.. When I push power button, fans, hdd, cd, are functioning, but the system reseting time after time :(
What the hell is this? Is MoBo dead?
Guys, I need some good news, because yesterday I killed my friend's NF7-S :brick: (until measuring vcore on the mosfets)
bios dead probably... wouldnt be surprised if its the same thing with the nf7-s

clean up the resistor you mod for Vdimm pencil mod....Quote:

ill try this soon tictac
nice work sir :)
tictac, u doin soft L12 now??? :)
ill give it a try, this merlin bios is nice, but no significant gains(although, could be my power supply is dieing from the nf7-s incident)
well, asking about "Slew Rate" in BIOS. What is the value ? For stabilities and higher speed or bandwidth ? FYI, i'm using HF rev. 3 :rolleyes:
honestly i have always left the finer timings on auto, ive meant to test each one to see but its a long process doing that, seemed whenever i took them off auto i lost clocks... i should probably experiment with that, now that you mention it.
ill fire her up within the next few days and see how the finer ram timings effect performance/bandwidth for me.
thanks for the answer.
btw, what is the correct value for performance / bandwidth ? 1-7 ?
what do you mean?
some values create more bandwidth, but limit clock, and some do the reverse, usually its better to go for more bandwidth then more clocks, but not always, to find the best value you can experiment yourself, as each system is different, i will do some experimentation of my own, but like i said, your results may vary.
thx :toast:
i'll do some benchmark with some settings...maybe i can get more bandwidth and then more clocks too.
EDIT :
this is a little test with SiSoft Sandra
Driving Strength : Auto
Slew Rate =
1 >> 2906/2626
2 >> 2930/2627
3 >> 2885/2662
4 >> 2922/2628
5 >> 2937/2628
6 - 15 >> not yet ;)
FSB = 200

here is my config file....

HydroX,
I got my best bandwidth with the latency's set at 255,255,64...give that a try.
Have you done anymore testing w/ drive-slew rates? Have mine at 6 and 7
Hi
Im kinda new here, sortof, long time reader - first time poster ;)
Anyway, i just killed my beautiful LPB, after accidentally pumping 3.5v through the NB :slapass: :explode2:
That should be a lesson, be careful when using a 100k pot with the VDD mod, watch how much you turn because you could potentially give loads of volts to the NB.
That board was amazing, it could do 265+ benchstable with 1.9v-2.0v on the NB, was china board as well, very few that can go that high.
I wanted ask, do the alpha timings really help stability and/or performance
3,5 wow...
mine died at 2.4
Sorry to hear about your loss, there is a long cluttered trail of the same among those who visit here. Mine was also a good one, finally found another though. http://img167.echo.cx/img167/593/p10107207ww.jpg
I just wanted to add something... :) My DFI Infinity died with exactly same damage done. It was heavily vmodded (vdimm, vdd, vsense, vcore, OVP) and it died when I was too clumsy and pulled one of the wires of the resistor soldered for OVP :(Quote:

That is how mine happened, one of the OVP wires came off.
Can anyone tell me which moffset regulates which voltage?
