hi dumo do you think dfi will fix the bios as all the other 975 boards will do 420 fsb + and don't have the voltages the dfi bios has, i hope so, mine now is solid at 400fsb, but we ant more, dfi have released 3 bioses since release so they are obviously aware of the issues
thanx mate
didnt helped here.. used other memmory etc etc nothing above 380mhzQuote:

I have the DFI and an E6400. I can only run a FSB of 340. It´s the Limit of my memory and if i want to use a devider it doesn´t boot any more ....
Has someone the same problem and can help me with it?
have you got the latest beta bios 0707
http://us.dfi.com.tw/Support/Downloa...FLAG=B&SITE=US
Not yet. I´ll try it tomorrow
Ok i tried the Bios but it doesnt really help ....
Same here :(Quote:

hi raju new beta bios out today posted on dfi site
link? :toast:
here you go m8 let us know how you go on with it
http://us.dfi.com.tw/Upload/BIOS/97TID731.zip
did not do anything for me really...
thanks anyway
my view is that DFI don't want the Infinity product to overclock too closely to the Lanparty, it would defeat the object of the extra cost..

Raja
no problem raja , if i come accross any helpful info i'll let you knowQuote:

Hi DFI 975 owners, i have Asus P5W DH but memory dividers on Asus are bad, i cant to run my 1066 Corsairs higher than 900Mhz ... is working memory dividers on this DFI board correctly? I need new board instedad of Asus is this DFI good choice?
divider and overclocking is poor on DFI. You can run @ 4:3 with 400mhz ram speed for 370-400fsb (that's the highest fsb you can get, you have to run @4:3 and it is fixed on 1066 strap). I think the badaxe is still best for 975 chipset with mods.
Anyone Fancy trying to Watercool the North Bridge along with Vmod :banana:
Gotta love DFI
814 bios at beta site/updated now she wont boot,at all,tried everything,pos mobo with crap support,goodbye DFI,hello Gigabyte :(
Something I never thought I'd see :(Quote:

thanks ivo yes this motherboards been a pig what is this bios update suppose to fix and why is not on there now, thanks again for your trouble, Anybody else tried this bios outQuote:

i just could not help myself i updated the bios to the 814 and computer tries to boot but no video SO DO NOT TRY IT, just making a bootable cd with old bios on to see if i can get it back
I was so close, but resisted.. Thankfully.
ncix now them instock
this is something i did not expect from DFI
Restart and hold down the "insert" key will allow you to get into the bios,silly bugger :slapass:Quote:

i wouldn't try it dumo its screwed mine , i think its corrupted the boot block on the bios chip, so i am going to take the oppurtunity to rip this m'board out and stamp on it a few times then buy another m'board but not another one of these its been very troublesome right from the startQuote:

4. Boots to desktop quickly however task-bar (Ethernet and virus software) items load slow. Never have seen this one either.
^^^ responded to same post in another thread, hopefully the new bios fixes your issues
dfi is on sale this weekend at newegg for $179 :shock2:

My DFI died yesterday .... i dont know why. The next board wont be again the DFI. I think i will take a Gigabyte or Asus board.
I'm running 415 FSB with 533 mem split. It will default back to stock FSB if I choose a 400 split. I have 1.16 volts on the CPU @ 3.3 Gigs. I have had it to 430 but it sometimes defaults back to stock clock in spite of what the post says.
This is a goofy MB! I'm thinking about the 590 SLI when it gets out
This is my max:

With BT at 22c ambient. Bios 0731.
For now stuck at 450fsb. I have problems with all dividers except 400, especially when using 2gb. Hope next bios (seem that in that aspect helped Kunaak a lot) will solve all these bugs.

Or maybe I'm missing how the Asus P5W DH is supposedly so much better.
Where have we come to, by choosing GIGABYTE and ASUS over dfi....sad
Even I own a ASUS board..the dfi fanboy no.1 :(
i have the DFI board on the way, should be here thursday. I hope that the new bios emerges by then.
how could i get my hands on the 8718BIOS? i could really use it right now..need 1:1 ratio working damn
iLL
You can't, and you aren't. Stop begging before you get blacklisted.
you're acting like you're 12.
LOL you can't get it!?!? Are you serious! People just need to learn how to search better. I found other places with it listed after only 5 minutes searching. Oh and I have it myself and I didn't have any inside connections or anything. How did I get it? :)Quote:

People come here for the resources, and to learn.
How am I acting Elitist when Kunaak already said DO NOT ASK ME FOR THE BIOS, and he's asking anyway----in MORE than one thread? (cough double post *cough*).
Tell me, please.
And Kunaak is a mod, too....
I'll I'm going to say is search google and you can find what you want. It has been posted by long time members in this very forum in OTHER forums (with similar site names as well :p: ). If you really can not find it then your not looking hard enough. Just because one person here who has it does not want to give it out does not mean you can not find it else where. You've all been warned though, if anything goes wrong don't be a hypocrite and start blaming the people who helped you find it in the first place.
Heres to hopefully no one destroying there motherboards...:toast:
PS: caligula, I wouldn't use that file. If I were looking for this BIOS I would make sure you look around and find it posted somewhere else by someone who is well known in this forum. Probably nothing wrong with the one you linked but for piece of mind I guess.
I gave it a shot, boots fine until I enter the bios save & exit, starts rebooting after video card post screen.Quote:

It is ALPHA. Not for user consumption at this time anyway and has killed at least two boards I know of and if it does you will expect DFI to warrant the board. It is an older bios in ALPHA and it FIXED NOTHING for my stepping 5 ES6600. All testing done with it in house where it should remain; has been done with Stepping 4 cpu and none of the later steppings. You have been warned is all I can say for sure. I am back on the 731 bios right now so that I can boot with some expected regularity.

To be honest the board (at least mine) sucks for OCing at this point and really needs a new bios or a new revision, can only run up to 320 unless on the slowest 4:3 divider and even then it has a top stable fsb of 370 on the 4:3 divider.
Anyways I'll probably flash back to the 0731 and wait a another week or two before I decide if this board will be heading for auction block or not.
wow, a max of 320? I hope not all of em are that bad. Ill give my full report tomorrow evening after i get mine going.
wtf is that grey stuff in the ich7r??? looks like a big Plate of old hard AS5 or a Pad - but no cooler on it?

I can only guess that Glenboy managed to disrupt somehting on the board whilst removing his bios chip for replacment. RGone is right, it's definatley worth waiting for the official beta before trying anything out.

well, i put together my E6600 build today. The board came with 6/21 bios so obviously i flashed to 7/31. At the moment it is running Orthos at 3015 with 1.34 Vcore. According to Smart Guardian temps under full load are 42-43C for the CPU and 39C for the NB which is at 1.75v. At first my NB temps were at 57-59C idle, but a simple 90mm fan dropped it down to 36C idle and 39C load. This OC is just preliminary as this is Xtreme Systems, but ive only had the rig running for a total of 2 hours so im already very impressed.
The chips info is L624A819. Is week 24 known to be pretty good?
Not mutch to brag about if thats the max fsb. Almost as bad as my other asrock vsta $75 board. Had mine dfi laying in the box for a couple of days due to a lot of work and little spare time. Will try to test it tomorrow. If it clocks real bad(under 400fsb on my e6600) i`ll call it a monday sample and return it to the shop where i bought it. Been waiting on this preordered board since 25/6. It was expencive in Norway 255 U.S. Dollars. For a bad cloking board with allmost no io ports thats to bad. But here in Norway u can get a refound if u send in things ordered on the internet that doesn't meet your expectations before 14days has gone since it arrived and if it's in perfect shape :)Quote:

anyone else having the issue of after posting it gets hung on a bunch of Realtek stuff with your MAC adress etc? Its bugging the hell out of me and the only way i can get past it is to put in the OS CD and then boot.
I dont have my board yet but i have seen that sort of thing happen with boot from lan.Quote:

Today i've returned my DFI infinity board. Never got it stable even@stock, random lockups under install, and i had to update my bios just to get the cpu post speed showing up correct. What a sh**ty board, tried different hw and disabling everything except diskkontroller. Not what i expected from dfi.:mad:
Just has to wait for return of my money so i could bay myself that asus 965 board, or one of the new nvidia or ati baded ones. To that day, my el cheapo as(s)rok dual VSTA board has to do the trick. It's not fast but it'll work.
I just finished upping my ram speed to DDR2 950 and my chipset temps hit the roof. 64C even with a fan pointed at it! I just took off the stock goop and put some Arctic Silver 5 and chipset temps are now 48-49C under load. Just a suggestion...
Guess Ill notbe getting this mobo, Back to the old P5B for me I guess once I sell this dam DS3
Take a look here, that was the old bios new one is quite good:)Quote:
