Now all please remember that memory controllers play a big part in ram overclocking on A64 and i actually did a little better with my old TCCD on this DFI than any board i have used before with 1T settings.

sandra is on a par with the EB and VX pretty much although they were at a lower fsb due to tighter latency.

Everest again shows similar numbers.

finally the settings i used.

Im still working on tweaking the Hynix based modules and will update the thread as i get more info on these modules.

bigtoe ...

here my results. exact same settings like yours ;)

3500+ Winchester
MSI K8N Neo2
2x512 OCZ EL Rev.2

hmm dfi was much slower?

i dont think thats beacuse winni?!?!

How much is this board ganna cost when it becomes retail?

Bigtoe,

Maybe I missed it, does the OCZ booster work on this board??
Thats if the board has problems at 3.7 mem voltage, I'll need 3.7V for my VX on this board.

OPP

Suprised you don't have one OPP, after what you did with the S754 Lanparty.

OPP I haven't tested the booster, bios does 4V with the jumpers over to the 5V line setting or you just tweak up the 3.3V line (which i prefere)

Regards OPP not having one he will have next week I hear ;)

TCCD revisited.

Thought I would go back and revise settings. Now the cpu does 2.6GHZ tops so im limited to 300+ x8 or 270+ X9 so i had to compromise here.

3200Plat rev2 at 2.5-4-3-8 310fsbX8 1T (sandra reads wrong)
I still personnally think VX is better with 2-2-2 or EB 3-2-2 but i know many like the TCCD stuff.
Here we go.

Im kinda struggling with Hynix based dimms which is weird as i have a pair here that do 300+ on an Epox 939 so it looks like the board is tuned to specific brands of memory IC and Hynix isn't one of them. I will be firing off an email to see if anything can be done for those looking to use dimms they have from older Intel rigs.

Tony do you know if an XP-120 heatsink will fit fine on this board and will you be testing the booster on this? I ask because I am afraid of running my psu out of spec 24/7. I'f I am going to tweak the 3.3v line of my psu it will be for everyday use. Is there a risk of ruining the psu or anything for that matter running the 3.3v line to say 3.6-3.7 all day everyday? That is way out of spec. I am not too sure what exactly runs of the 3.3v line but a day day would come if things starting permanantly shutting down. The booster might be a nice alternative if it works. Hope to hear something back. Thanks.

Yes I'm very bummed :( No Love:D
Apparently they have one for me right now, it was suppose to be sent out on Thursday but no go. I guess it needed hardware changes and they weren't done untill Late Friday. I guess I get a beatup Beta board next week:D

In the meantime I think I will take down #1 spot in 3d2001 with MSI NEO4:D
I got my new FX55 chip last week but the NEO4 only gives me 1.7V max v-core so the chip maxxes out at 3420MHz or so. I'm hopeing DFI will take this chip into the 3600MHz clouds:D

BigToe

Test that booster:D
It's OCZs job to be the ginne pig:D

OPP

So, according to what I have seen here, the DFI likes OCZ EB memory a lot more than my P.O.S. MSI K8N Neo2.

Is this true from what you have seen, Tony?

Thanks

Now thats what we want to hear OPP, some 3D 01 action with the new hardware :D

Good luck with the DFI and your new FX55 ;)

Yea if this MSI X800XT card can Overclock, 3D01 is mine, even at the low speed of 264x13. My new FX chip loves W2k unlike my last FX chip.
I'll modify my XT card and throw it on the Cascade today and see what I can do. At least MSI still loves me:D

It might be more work for DFI, but they could release different bios versions for specific ram ? that way everyone is happy heh

I have no Idea, it was just sitting around for a month doing nothing, I went to throw in a rig and it was dead.

Ummm, should we assume that you did not entertain Vivian properly in Vegas and this is pay back time? lol....(still waiting to hear about that ''ummm...meeting''!)

I never made it to meet with Vivian in Vegas:D I was tied up elsewhere when I was supose to go meet her.
So I have still yet to meet her:D

The next chip loved 2000, but only hit 3425mhz at get this 1.675v. Pushing higher gained nothing.
Chips seem to be in 3 stages
win2000=3400mhz range
ones that hate win2000=3500-3600mhz
and the ones that we kill by accednet, lol

GL OPP :)

So what your saying is that even when I get more voltage for this chip it won't clock much more?

We'll just have to see:D I hope that is not the case.

that explains your late delivery of your board! ;)

question for bigtoe :

wht voltage did you use for your micron memory modules . I have crucial ballistix and they have micron chips as well but which can do tighter timings . I just want a fair idea as to wht voltage to give em when I overclock them . :)

thanx

Whats the chip BTW? 0442GPMW? ;)

My wall was locked at 3426mhz, but again this chip ws win2000 stable so I didn't go outside to try winxp/2003 so maybe like the 3.55ghz one it also does love those OS and scales even higher as Max with the 3.55 in win2000 was 3377mhz or so :)

We got us a 0441 EPMW

Hello!

are you going too take 01 with x800xt or an x850?

I think that i must get the new cascade upp and running soon so that i can give you some competition :)

But Good Luck in the hunt OPP !!

LMFAO exactly my chip that walled ta 3426mhz :( OCrookies also around this mark on his baker -100c cascade, and Ojdr2001 also same 0441epmw chip at 3380-3420mhz "r404 with freezing temps on the condensor"

So I hope we see something over 3450mhz to break this cycle with this chip stepping. :)

I see some thread hijacking here...;)...LOL
