Nice! Unmodded? :)
Glad too se that my waterblock will fit.. using the same :)
Charlie, if you open CPUz first then you can open clockgen. kinda wierd but it works.
Hi, I'm new to the board.
Does one stick of memory perform beter then 2 sticks?
No, no dual-channel :(Quote:

Here you can see a compare between that run, and my P4C @ FSB238 (4046Mhz) 1:1 2-2-2-5-64us, at very similar card clocks.
Darn i want a dothan. :(

The Dorthan's just a bit over 3000 points behind your Winchester @ almost the same clocks speeds on CPU and GPU. It's damn nice work though! You're just the man to keep our hopes in Dorthan alive! :)
It would be kinda cool to see an FX55 @ 141x19, single channel and XT@636/639 :)
Hi,
i am stuck with my AOpen i855 at 137 MHz FSB.
Has anybody some detailed pictures about a Chipset Voltage Mod for the AOpen Board?
Actually I only find mods for the DFI one,

Its a very nice score for those card clocks. Winchester at 2.52G w/ card @660/620 hit only 14988.
Yeah i got the new BIOS Version 1.05 and now i can push up the FSB upto 164 MHz at a multiplier of 16x.
I Think my Pentium M 745 1,8 GHz stuck at ca. 2470 MHz without V-Core Mod.
But 31 sec SuperPi is really nice for beginning. :)

Tip: dont try to install XP120 on top of Dothan chip :D
Chip is alive and kicking. Not the best clocker thou - maxes at around 2.7GHz aircooled. Seems that the 'made in Philippines' dothans dont really like higher volts at all. The Malay chips seem to respond loads better.
So far the 1.7G chip has given the highest CPU speed for me (2760MHz aircooled). 1.5G would have gone even higher but mobo limits it.
Well....same story as always with the Intel cpus in the past ...Philippine ones tend to not respond to higher voltage and OC like pure crap.Quote:

I´m eager to get my gear going...got my cpu next me and my mobo is at the postoffice...just waitning to get picked up.
Only sad thing is..I just checked my cpu and it´s a Philippine :( :(
Just have to hope for the best.
Is anyone having issues with the DFI board and x800xt pe driver crashes? I think it must be the agp/pci speed.....I'm using 12/10 BIOS, and have tried 33/66 and 36/69 and still have the same prob....my 9600x works fine up to 160fsb....
Macci, Yeah I think the 1.7 is the best deal, mine runs 2701(160fsb) max, at 1.59v. I have a 2.0 coming Monday or Tuesday.....
Fortunately I got both cheap, $209 for 735 and $215 for 755.
So after reflection, how do you compare DFI to Aopen?
C
where on earth would you get a 755 for $215 but ebay? insane!Quote:

What kind of temps are you getting with that speed and voltage, charlie?
idling mid 30's and loaded once I saw 49C
yes. I saw the 'VPU Recorvery' thing way too often w/ DFI. Should be stable up to around 133FSB right?Quote:

With AOpen I haven't seen anything like that yet.
Looks like Aopen may be the way to go... DFI may be better off with Nvidia cards, though.
:(
I feel kinda like I did when I bought the "awesome" new Asus P4S800D-E....that "incredible" new SiS chipped 478 board :rolleyes:
So now I've got this DFI that won't POST without a DDR Booster and I'm $280 lighter in the wallet....
I "ALMOST" got the Aopen... I liked the mounting cage.... but I fell for the x-86 HYPE article... my mistake. SO NOW, will I go Aopen 855 or wait a week and grab the ASUS SLI board????

What function has the 5kOhm variable resistor?Quote:

So your recomendation for for non modding would be AOpen?
EDIT: Kinda ment for Macci and Charlie + others alike :)
I think DFI is good for less than Xtreme work.
For example, a 2.0 @ 20 x 140 = 2.8gHz AIRCOOLED, 5:3 @ 240mHz would be REAL nice...
But for 160+ FSb action, it seems the Aopen may be better....and there may be some issue with the pci/agp lock on the DFI....
I will have a chat with my friends at DFI about the lock. I have a Pci geiger here but still no cpu to test with so i can't advise whether the lock is infact workin.
Im thinking of getting the AOpen also as i have a domain server to rebuild as well as multimedia rog so 2 boards and 2 cpu's should do me fine.
as soon as i have any news off DFI i will post back.
I have tested with geiger on the aopen card, but due to a rivaling hw site back here in Norway who's known to be ripping our ideas, I have kept my mouth shut. I will post details as soon as my review is finished.
But basicly the locks are not working properly.
And there was a dram timing issue, cas 2,5 was a no go. Seems to be fixed with the 105 bios.
wait, are you talking about the aopen or the dfi? i know you said aopen, but as far as i know, the locks are working on the aopen and not on the dfi. be sure to post a link to your review once it's done (english i hope, my norse is a little, errr, rusty :) )Quote:

jan,
same question to you. was yours a filipino or a malay?
I am talking about the aopen card, the 66/33 locks do not work at all. But it seems that the promise s-ata controler don't mind high pci speeds.
Mayby i'll write an english summary and add it to the review. Since the review is in Norwegian. Or i will post a summary here. Will have to see when i'm finished.
66/33 not working at all?Quote:

Thats funny - I've ran my rig at 140FSB (BIOS set to 66/33) for quite some time and haven't seen a single problem. The rig has Audigy soundcard, Adaptec SATA controller and X800XT PE. Also 2x200GB sata drives, 160GB Samsung IDE drive and LG 4082 DVD burner.
Somehow I highly doubt that all that stuff would run flawlessly at 46MHz PCI/93MHz AGP.
As far as DFI and AGP/PCI locks go I believe that the lock works there but there is some sort of (clockgen/chipset related?) 'sync' problem when past 133FSB (similar to i875 mobos when past 300FSB, Abit TH7-2 also had this issue w/ ATI cards).
Yes the do not work, try ripping out your audigy and use the onboard sound ;)
Or you could try the 88/44 lock ;)
I had to use an old sb live card above 110 ish to get sound, thats why i got the pci-geiger to check out the locks. And 66/33 do not work, somwere in the mid 140ish which give pci-speeds at around 46 the onboard promise controler give up. The 75/37 and 88/44 locks works most of the time, but have occational hickups after reboot. Sometimes it will not work before you have rebooted 3-4 times.
My board seems to max out just above 150 with pci-locked at 37. Not quite sure why yet. But could be failing agp lock...
which bios are you running? the .05 could probably be the cure for you...
I don't know WHERE mine was made?? It doesn't say on the CPU.Quote:

C
It will say on the side of the box where its made, on the righthand side of the label. I whould post a pic but I don't have my roomates camera at the moment.
I think this may have been covered before, sorry if it was but I was wondering what are the Aopen dividers ? Also are there new ones for the DFI with a new bios ?
Hi xtremes! :)
I got some results with my AOpen Board and the AOpen boxed cooler too.
But i have got just _very_ crappy noname ram at the moment... :(
A Question:
Is there a BIOS Version with which i can adjust the voltage over the specificated voltage for my processor? Because 1,35V are really crap :D :p:
Or will i have to do a VCore mod too? :D :p:
btw. sorry for my bad english :stick:
here's the linky to the data you requested for the aopen board. regarding dividers, i wouldn't expect them to add more, as they were pretty much all one could ask for - higher ones wouldn't probably do you any goodQuote:

i've seen people do another kind of vid mod using dipswitches & removing some smd parts. this was posted by kyosen and macci somewhere around the start of this thread.
and your english isn't that bad - seen worse actually. oh and i can't stand people excusing themselves before even making errors... :D
Im sending my Dothan to Oppainter when he gets his DFI board. He might be able to squeeze more out of it.
At least I took #1 Intel spot for Pifast with a dothan at 3.07Ghz
I think the problem Charlie is describing is AGP/Chipset voltage not a AGP/PCI lock.
sorry for the dumb question but a 2.7 dothan would be on par with a Amd64 3800+ right? or am i over shooting it?
A 2.7GHz Dorthan would crush a 3800+ quite nicely :)
I did the Vagp mod and set to 1.6v, here's the problem I see:
I can be in the desktop at 133 (400DDR) and it runs like a top :D
In clockgen (or thru BIOS) I adjust slowly up to 140 or so.... and the first thing I notice is the WINDOWS slows down, you click on something and it takes 5x as long to open, then after about 10 seconds just crashes to black screen and re-boots. After reboot the little box pops up that says:
Unexpected failure due to display driver:
X800 XT Platinum Edition (or 9600xt)
It seemed like it worked better a few days ago oddly enough... I returned the board. Will get another soon....don't know if I'll eBay it or try again.......
It's a pity, though as this 1.7 hits 2.7 on AIR :D
C
This is the point where you should be upping the AGP/PCI clock w/ clockgen. The higher you go w/ the FSB the higher you need to set the AGP/PCI clock. Useing 1/4 divider from BIOS should work too.Quote:

Useing this method I was able to get up to 160FSB (15x160) w/ X800XTPE 3D2k1 stable => link
Tried a couple of things last night.
With my rad x800pro, 150 work like a charm using 37 lock. A couple more mhz on the fsb and i get all sorts of freaky behavior. Icons on desktop take forever to draw, occational bsods due to ati driver faliur and so on. 160 fsb is impossible.
So I swapped the radeon with an old gf 4200 card, suddenly 160 fsb was fully benceheable, ran a 3dmark01 without hickups. Now for the weird part, 161 was a complete no boot. It locks up during post.
Then I tried with a matrox pci card, 160 works like a charm, 161 worked the first time only. Superpi worked fine, didn't test anything else. Reboot and then full stop during post. Tried numerous times but it was a no go.
As for any reason why, it will be only be speculation. I do not have any tools for measuring agp speeds.
Chipset/Bios sems dead in the water past 160. Might be curable with a chipset vmod. I can't test this as the board has to be returned to the retailer I have borrowed it from.
As for the locks, see below ;)
Hi
I have a question about the DFI Vcore mod. What's the function of the FB wire/connection and what resistor is that.
Sorry for the noobie questions, but I don't know much about this stuff. :(

I only need better cooling (i already orderd a noiseblocker bad boy which will be modded for fitting on the pentium-m) and better ram.

I went to the post office today to pick up my dothan 1.6 + dfi dothan compatible motherboard.
So when I got home, I wanted to check it out offcourse, play around with it a little bit.
but it didn't boot.
I tried 3 different ram sticks
3 different videocards + onboard video
nothing else is hooked up (except usb mouse + keyboard via the ps2 connectors)
I cleared cmos
I tried with the fsb jumper on auto and 100mhz
the fans that are hooked up to the board spin up.
I loosened the cpu heatsink and just placed it ontop without bolting it down.
What else can I try?
it's not like I have a spare dothan or dothan mobo lying around...
:help: :help:
Oh, and a question :) :
Does the FSBjumper (auto, 100mhz, 133mhz) make any difference in overclockabillity or stabillity?
Sorry to hear that kristos, I can understand that with everyone threatening FX chips with their dothans (and Macci having one :D ) you'd be very dissappointed...Quote:
What else can I try?
I'd recommend contacting DFI Tech Support about the possibility of RMAing it or perhaps pm anyone else here that has a DFI board (you'd find a few in this thread alone) if they encoutered similar problems.
Perkam
sounds like my AXP board. DOA. so yeah I had to RMA it.

Re install the processor. I had the same problem. Make sure you turn the screw on the CPU socket all the way to the locked position. It gets firm at half way.
Just started testing,vdim mod works well :) DFI board.
DDR520 with 3500EB 2.5-2-2-5.3.4V or so...check the DMM ;)

thanks m8...more to come i hope
No chance of anything 3d...sorry:(
I will do sandra and everest and pi etc as soon as the OS is loaded ;)
I did some last minute research, and may have found a way to prove that AGP lock is partially working. Just as the pci lock. In other words 66/33 = no lock. 75/37 and 88/44 works, but with occational hickups.
This is on tha Aopen board, using the 105 bios atm. 101a and 101c behaves in the same manner.
So the reason why the Ati cards fails earlier seems to be chipset/bios/driver related.
Well will check some more tonight, before i have to pack everything togheter and return it to the reseller tomorow.
someone can answer for my question? :)Quote:

Im still workin on debugging what i have here, for now i have disabled everything in bios and im using a pci vid card and 3com pci nic as i know the bus is at 33.3.
Seems the cpu just locks with cpu-z which points to an access violation maybe...
More as i get it.
1M was 32secs with these settings, the rest are valid for this config. 150x16 with ram at 200fsb.Quote:

Thanks :)
It's a fixed vcore mod. 1,6 volts it says here.
No, no, no.........
If you do the VID4 to VSS mod (as I did) it will give 1.59V @ 1.34V default BIOS setting, but setting the BIOS to a lower setting, like 1.20v will give a lower reading, maybe 1.45v....
So I'd suggest doing a VID4 and a VID 2 which I THINK gives 1.67v and adjust it in BIOS..........
C
Bigtoe,
I really like the Dothan stuff, my 1.7 does 2.7 with a Swiftech NB cooler, lol but the "glitchiness" with ATI gpu's is a serious downer....
I hope you can shed some light on it! And yeah, the clockgen is VERY buggy for me on the DFI. AND note the glitchy 150+ where the windows slows down and icons won't open then it blackscreens and gives a Display Driver Erroe upon reboot.
C
Since you guys here are on the cutting edge, please help me choose a heat sink for my 755 and AOpen board that is on the way. The thread is here. Thanks.
Charlie - may try replacing the clock crystal on the video card to see if that clears up the video issues maybe... test with a "dead" card first though of course.. :D

I checked the code on the resistor, it's supposed to be a 50k but you may want to double check.
kyosen used a 50k for all 3 mods but you used a 100k for the Vdimm mod. Is a 100k better? and if so, why is it better? :)
503 means 50 with 3 zero's right? but what's the 420 stand for?
This is just embarrasing, I completely forgot to lock down the processor via the screw :slapass:Quote:

Bitpower: I´m not sure about the 3,3->vdimm mod...haven´t had the opurtunity to feed my sticks with above 2.9 so I don´t know how they will respond to that kind of voltage. So the vdimm mod in the first pic feel a little more secure....doesn´t look to hard, shouldn´t be a problem even thou my soldering skills are moderate.
Another thing I noticed, there is some "thingy" going on with the agp/pci locks.
When I get above 135fsb and use 66/33 lock...the board/cpu will default back to 100x16 and everything feels veeery slow, takes ages to load windows. But if I set 75/37 (I think it is) when I go above 135fsb, everything is just peachy...works like a charm.
66/33 fix seems to be not working. 75/37,5 mhz fix works better.
You can build a voltage regulator from the 5 volt to v-dimm like in the second vdimm mod.
Look at the circuitplan. I do it with a 2 kOhm trimmer and a 220 Ohm resistor.
TwinMOS TwiSTER pro TCCD at 3,1 Volt, but no higher clockrates possibel, unfortunately. :(
