ok, so:
S754 - only-Infinity and S939 - only-LanParty, right ? :)
EDIT: no, hold on.....at the dfi-hp is explained, that the Infinity = LanParty-UT.....that right ? :)

DOES IT SUPPORT MOBILES?!?! :D
You all may want to check out this thread at dfi-street. It contains some interesting tidbits from the moderators who are DFI employees. :)
Some points include:
- in their opinion, it should support mobiles because their other K8 board(s) do and their BIOS designer is well aware of the importance of mobiles to the enthusiast community, BUT they (the mods) do not actually know if it will support mobiles or not.
- there may be a small price drop from the $130 MSRP once they are widely available.
- they have read this thread!
Well, he makes a good point about "over-expectations", but really, I'm not expecting to clock higher than, or as high as bigtoe or OPP. :rolleyes: It's more like, if I have a choice between riding a Huffy or a Cannondale, I'm pretty sure I'll pick the Cannondale. ;)Quote:

Well im waiting for this board to appear.. Who do you think will have it in stock first? Newegg or Mwave?
Hey bigtoe I got a question for you...
how hot does the board itself run?
My MSI K8T right now runs 33C...is the DFI alot lower...
Also I am in the means of preordering that motherboard!!!
ZipZoomFly of course. That's where the pre-orders are being taken on Friday :)Quote:

Will we have to call in for the pre-order or will it be avail on their site to order?
Pssst, look on page 12. It's all there.Quote:

Page 12 on what thread?Quote:

the page # depends on how many posts per page you have as default. This is page 6 for me. Maybe page 12 for him.
more importantly - to hose who say expect no more than 250fsb - I say it darn well better get that for all we are led to believe.
The infinity earned its rep in two ways - it offered average overclocks akin to some of the best overclocks previously available. (fsb)
it also offered a myriad of teething problems. I myself wen through three baords before I got one that did not have boot and bios issues - and ALL of them fluctuated vcore mightily.
250fsb? better be more than that! I have had my chaintech up to 250x10 with a 3000+ - it likely goes higher, but cpu heat (and this boards lack of working multis - even with bios flash) kept me from trying for more.
I see many getting in the 260-275 range. Ife 90% of DFI boards can beat competitors fsb, then I will nod my head in approval. If they cannot, then I question the necessity of upgrading to them. I sure don't need any UV reactive stuff, and am always happy to volt mod my stuff to whatever I need.
No I don't expect 300fsb - but I do expect to knock on its door, like knocking on the ddr500 door with my old infinity at ddr490.
that said, I think this hemming is really jsut an a$$ covering maneuver. I do think they will offer very good performance, my only concern is for stability and quality to go with it.
of course, i will be buying one...if the price is under $130. the $90 fo rhte old infinity was its best feature - besides the fact that it looked 8million times better than the lanparty.
You preorder it on there website...I contacted DFI about it...I am going to preorder it and it is selling for $129.99
I know I am expecting performance from this MB for damn sure. This MSI one I have now sucks!! It has hardly any options for anything on it. I didn't research this board very well when I first got it. I am expecting to get atleast 2.4GHz with my CPU. I have a good version of the ClawHammer. I infact have the same one as what BigToe was using when he broke the record I believe...It matches the same information in CPU as mine...the C0 steppings.
When I get this the first thing I am doing is going to my good friends that loves overclocking and we are going to play with this that is for sure.
Question to all you 64-Bit users right now...what are good temps to shoot for...what is the max temp that is safe anyway?
Thanks...
Congrats Tony to breaking the record! Keep it up and I also still need a 9800 Heatsink and Fan if anyone is really to give me one.
I have 2xA64's 1x3200+ and 1x3400+ both are 1mb cache and C0 stepping. Remember for pushing the board I only used 1 dimm and played with memory divider ratio's as well as cpu multipliers to get the awesome clocks. Both cpu's do 2.4gig or so with the stock cooling I was using, I did cool the board on both sides of the cpu as well as cooled the dimm.Quote:

The board at high load and speed did get warm so would get hot with no cooling...something to remember i feel ;)
To finish here..I USED to mod boards, I USED to use phase change etc...now I test with standard hardware and careful air cooling...tweaking is an art which im sure you all will love learning and perfecting on this new 754.
I'm happy with the price. More than the epox (which was my backup board). But less than I was expecting. I'll probably be picking one up after I see a few good opinions of the retail boards. (Got stung by everyone swearing how amazing AN7 was prerelease... bought it day of release, got a damaged and dead board due to a manufacturing error in the rev 1 boards.)
When are socket 939 boards expected?
Thats hard to say..I have asked and I am promised one to preview here for you guys as i have done with the 754.Quote:

Isn't the 3700+ socket 754? I want a socket 939 processor... Mainly for the wider memory bus, possibility to upgrade later...Quote:

Depends on the CPU in perfromance cause the socket 754 A64 3400 is faster then the equivalent A64 3500 which uses socket 939.
I am going for socket 939, but that's my personal opinion.
Do you guys think I should go for the mobile 754 (cost?) or go for the 939 for future upgrading potential?
The 3700+ is regular processor. Where are you getting mobile from?Quote:

Also, the the Socket 754 board is coming first. I don't see a reason to wait even longer for 939 when the 3700+ is available on Socket 754. With PCI Express and DDR II coming, it's not like you're going to stick with either board for long.
OK, not a mobile then.
First of all, doesn't the 939 have a wider memory bus?
Why would you want the 754 over the 939?
S754 = SingleChannel-interface
S939 = DualChannel-interface
BUT, i think, DC doesn't bring ANY worth mentioning boost against SC.....and with SC u can OC your RAM more then in DC
just my 2cents.....
I already told you in my second paragraph. You can keep playing the waiting game for the DFI Socket 939 or you can pre-order the 754 on Friday. I'm telling you, by the time you want to upgrade your chip, more likely than not, you're going to want a new mobo anyway (like the nForce4). So who cares about the upgrade paths on 939 boards? Of course, I may be wrong about that. I'm just going on personal experience. If you go with 754 and max it out with the 3700+, it will be plenty fast for quite a while. It has 2.4 GHz of speed and a meg of cache.Quote:

This is for Bigtoe, I have a chaintech vnf3-250 too. You said the dfi was able to overclock higher than the vnf3-250. What was your max oc on the chaintech compared to the dfi? I'm asking because I currently have the chaintech board with a mobile able to hit 257x10 stable. I hate to be the 4th one to ask this, but were you able to confirm native mobile support on the DFI?
I couldn't agree more. Nice explanation. It's what I'm doing. :toast:Quote:

After I get this Motherboard my next upgrade is to go to some new Memory and I got a recommendation from bigtoe and what to get and I think I will take his word on it:D
Let,s hope DFI don,t make :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:ty mobos like the DFI Lanparty NF2 Cards that will stop working after 2 weeks :(.
I hope the 939 board will be my next mobo.
CREDS TO DFI ;)
Yeah, but what was the high on the chaintech? And I mean highest total cpu clock regardless of htt and multi.Quote:

Makes no sense for a gaming machine, if you reach 300MHz memory-clocks (BTW: who cares about the 425MHz of the reference clock? :rolleyes: ) and have only one 256MB stick.
High mem-clocks with 512MB (better: 1GB) are much more interesting...
Greetz, Flox
1x512MB OCZ 3500EB
for me only 1GB-results are important ;)
don't wanna miss RAM higher 1GB :)
Can anyone confirm where the chipset will be located on these boards? On my MSI Neo Plat its located right near the AGP socket, which means the Arctic Cooler on my graphics card prevents a bigger heatsink being placed on it.
TIA. :)
im wondering if the lanpartyUT is the new infinty then will this new lanpartyUT have the power and reset button on it? (because i thougt it to be a lanparty only option)
You could always swap that out for a socket A cooler. Would probably also perform better, especially if you got a Cu one.Quote:

I am realy torn as to wheter or not I should upgrade to an a64 and this mobo right now. With how well doom3 runs on my current barton and p4 machines it seems I don't realy need to. I guess I will see how hl2 and rome total war run before I decide.
It isn't every day that Opp says a board is the best he has ever used, and all the tweaking options just seem like this board would be so much fun. Maybe I should just wait and hope that the DFI nf4 motherboard is just as great as this one.
I don't have a mobile A64 to test with, knowing Oskar the board will support them...;)
I hit 300HTT+ on the chaintech also but its not as fast as this DFI.
For the price though the VNF3 250 is a great board though.
with my vnf-250, I can change FID in bios ONLY if I run a single DIMM - is this going to be the case on the DFI - if not, then it is the best reason I have for picking one up.....
Re the mobile - ;) :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:Quote:

OK, now I'm getting impatient. Where's the link at ZZF? My credit card is bored.

Maybe some newbie questions...
A) You've been saying this has been accomplished with one stick of 3500EB, but the screenshots show 2 sticks. Which is it?
B) If it's only one, does anyone know of an online supplier that sells only one stick? Everyone I've seen that carries it only sells the dual-channel kits. No point in paying for 2 sticks if I only need one.
C) Big toe said his results are on air. What HS/Fan combination are you using for this?
Sorry, but just looking for some clarification... :)
Damn I just read the spec. It sounds like a really sweet board, but I was hoping to use my old DDR266 Ram for a few months till I can offord some EB.
Was gonna pair this with a Mobile 2800+. Hopefully it has many options for RAM "dividing". Any info on Ram adjustments Bigtoe?
Thanks!
Atacom offers single sticks of EB, but I don't know how reliable they are as a vendor:Quote:

From the image on the DFI page it looks like its in the same place as on my MSI. Oh well.......:(Quote:

I posted all ram tweaks in the bios shots.
Nice to see the final board hasn't changed much from what i have here ;)
doesn't look as though it will be available today...and I don't know that they update on the weekends. I hope the general release date is not being pushed back...cmon zipzoom:stick:
I just looked at your screenies bro, how come you dropped it down to 333 mhz instead of 400?Quote:

*update*
it is on zip's site, but there is no means to preorder it.....it jsut says backorder, eta of 9/2
I used the 9/10 divider for the ram.I was able to push higher and achieve greater bandwidth using this divider over 1:1. I have benches also from an OCZ beta tester pushing 308fsb 1:1 on a gigabyte and unbuffered bandwidth is very similar...2600+ MB/s.Quote:

You will find the board even with a ram downclock is very fast and does clock very high.
On a side note, I have a DFI 915 board hitting 299fsb pretty easy with 290 really stable 3:4 on the ram for ddr780.
Looks like they are doing some magic with Intel boards as well now ;)
One thing to nit-pick about, why does everyone put the Northy so darn close to the AGP release tab? Really inconvenient if your Northy HS is oversized. :stick: Oh well, gotta have something to whine about, I guess. ;)
bigtoe, what about the compatibility with the OCZ DDR-Booster ? :)
Yeah why is the NB located there? Seems like a bad spot for it...
And ZipZoomFly needs to :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:ing fix there link!
I'd say that was a better place for the NB (and also that the agp slot is one down), allows for bigger cpu heatsinks like the new XP-120 :)
Well I use the all copper Zalman on mine :D
Anyway, I thought a64 chipsets didn't get hot with the memory controller built into the processor?
The board does get hot...my board runs anywhere from 30C to 40C late at night when the air doesn't come on as often...
I am hoping this DFI runs cooler then mine...
If it is anything like the Neo Plat board, the NF3 "NB" will get very hot, esp when OCing, and the DFI heatsink does not look any better than the MSI one. (I was hanging out on the MSI site until I realized I just couldn't sign on to all the problems the Neo was dishing out.)
Anyway a popular choice by people on the MSI site to cool the chipset is the Vantec Iceberq CCB-A1C NB cooler. It will fit under a VGA Silencer. If you are not using a Silencer, you can probably get some other NB HSFs to fit once a dremel is brought to bear.
Well my board isn't a plat and it gets hot as well...I was thinking of getting a NorthBridge cooler but I am not sure what one to get that will fit there...
I posted earlier I was using one and OPP used one also.Quote:

You are so popular on here arent you bigtoe? lol
yeah I hope this board uses a well known mem IC cuz I'd like to do a vdimm mod and run 3.2-3.3v. I actually don't want a booster, prefer the old fashioned way.
Well it puts out 3.1 on its own.... :D
I for one love a board puts out...3.1 volts that is...:D
3.1=good
3.3=better
I wonder why this one only puts out 3.1, when the infinity did 3.3 stock....
maybe they know something about the pruported dangers of high vdimm on a64,
but then 2.0 on vcore for an a64 is nutty as anything else you could do to your setup, and I'm to be running phase change - I wont go higher than 1.75.
so, could someone (maybe bigtoe or OPP :D) summarize the "important" options of the LP-UT nF3 250Gb (S754)
(voltages, timing-settings, LDT-modes, max Clock, etc...important things, for a overclocker ;))
pplllzzzzzzz :D
I would say basically everything you just stated is important lol
LOL
yes, but i meant the setable options ;)
so, f.e.
max MEM = 300MHz
max VDIMM = 3.1V
max VCore = 2.0V
and so on :)
Bigtoe posted a bunch of BIOS pictures which showed most/all the options you asked about. They are either in this thread near the start or, for sure, they are in the news article on the xtreme home page.
But he also did say some of those options might not be in the final version that is released to us...
True, but since Bigtoe only has the beta version, AFAIK, we'll have to wait another 10 days or so to find out for sure! :DQuote:
Originally posted by ugp

And Bigtoe did promise to leak the beta BIOS if some key features are missing - and DFI is aware of that promise! Given that, I think there is a reasonably good chance of all the important stuff being in the final BIOS.
Oh yeah...he is going to have to host the BIOS somewhere where we all can download it :D
I think one important thing was to have the LDT at 3 past 240MHz.Quote:

It worked like that for me anyway, x4 only went to around 240 on my board. The x3 took me into the 300s.
OPP
hmmm....OPP, but with LDTx4 and 240MHz HTT the "imaginary-FSB" would be at 1920MHz and with LDTx3 with 300MHz HTT it would be 1800MHz
so, where is the advantage of 300MHz @ LDTx3 ? :confused:
some benchies ? or did u do them already and posted them ? (so, i would search for them :D)
There is also a LDTx2.5 which most others do not have.
p4z1f1st, reread the first few pages of this thread - lots of benches and BIOS pics from Bigtoe. There was also another thread where OPP posted his initial results. I don't think it got stickied and it is now dead, so you will have to search for that one.
The advantage is when your running your memory in the 250-300 range, 240 with x4 can't touch that:DQuote:

Ok I will be upgrading my Athlon XP and Corsair XMS 3200 to the DFI Board, and memory as well. Need a new 64 chip too. I have a water rig, and a v-moded Antec TC550, along with a v-moded 9800AIW. Want to build a max performance 754 rig on water:
A few questions:
1.) Will a single stick of 1G be as stable as 1 512? If price is not an issue, what is the best ram I can get at 3.1v (highest voltage on board)? Seems like we all want 1G of ram at the best clocks available, and the OCZ EB's are proven. What I want is a single stick of 1gig ram that will run 550(+) at tight timings and 3.1v
2.) This board supports Cool and Quite, so we should be able to support a mobile that will allow mulitplier changes in Windows. I know about this on the XP's, but I read somewhere in this post (on another 64 mobo) that they had to put a regular 64 in before the mobile? Why?
3.) I know the Jury is still out on how a mobile will perform on this board, but since I am new to the 64's, what steppings both mobile, and non-mobile should I look for? What is the max / everyday overclock I should expect from these steppings on water? Is it realistic to expect a A64/ 1 meg can do 10 x 275 = 2750 on water with 1:1?
:D
Bigtoe i was wondering, how can i recognise the rev3 modules?Quote:
Originally posted by bigtoe

or are all the modules that are being produced now all rev3's?
and is there a significant overclocking differance between 3500 and 3700 EB?
i must say that the 3700rev3 sure looks like killer ram :D

1.) 1Gig sure isn't gonna go high, and i think 550+ with tight timings is going to be impossible
2.) don't know
3.) for stepping you'll have to wait for the board to come out, and see some actual results. And you'll need phase change to reach 2750 with a clawhammer, water will get you around 2500+
If you want high cpu clocks than you should go for a newcastle

Hmmm. Decisions, decisions. Slightly more than MSRP, but "free" 2nd Day. Since I have a gig of RAM, I may pass on this beast.

Does anyone know what the hell is going on with the link to preorder this...??? It is starting to piss me off!
I have a question, what is the best chipset cooler you could buy that will fit on the bord?
i'm thinking of buying a thermaltake crystal orb, wich isn't that expensive, and pretty quit. But i don't really know a lot about chipset coolers, any suggestions?
Thx
Same here...I would like to know that as well...
Thermalright NB-1C
http://www.pcperspective.com/images/.../NB-1C_web.jpg
or Swiftech MCX-159
http://www.swiftnets.com/assets/imag.../MCX159-AP.jpg
Will have to wait to find out how much clearance there will be though :rolleyes:
again one question ;)
@ bigtoe/OPP: what about the temperature of the NB (or is it a Southbridge ?) ?
because, some nF3-250-NBs get REALLY hot while high oc's
what about the DFI-one ;)
I already asked bigtoe that and he said he would get back to me on that...he had to measure it he said...
One the chipset cooler I think I would go witht he Thermalright one...looks better... Or is the one witht he fan actually better...?
the thermalright one actually comes with a small delta fan.. there is also an aluminum version which is cheaper and would prolly work just as well
I would rather have :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: that is cooper...it conducts better...
It gets pretty hot. Espeacily since you can give it up to 1.9V via the bios. But even though it's hot I doubt if it is affecting any overclocks. I don't think cooling it will get you much of anything.Quote:

@ bigtoe/OPP: what about the temperature of the NB (or is it a Southbridge ?) ?
because, some nF3-250-NBs get REALLY hot while high oc's
what about the DFI-one ;)

I had to add cooling to the chipset to get 400HTT stable, then I pushed 100cfm over the board to get 425HTT stable ;)
ROFL !
100cfm ?!?! that are 170m³/h !!!
a Delta FFB 0812 EHE -fan has "only" 80cfm !!!
or did u add all cfm's of your fans together ?
or did u really put just a MEGA-FAN on the NB ? :D
