That's a pretty good time there d22. Is that on wc?Quote:

As for the infinity tweaks I don't have an infinity or an opti but I'm thinking you might be able to do all the mem tweaks with a64 tweaker.
If the special vids on that board are available you should print the voltage table from the guide and try different variants since some vids of equivalent voltage are more stable than others.

Systool and speedfan works on some gigabytes which also have the IT8712F which is supposed to be whats on the infinity. http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/atta...achmentid=2477
Not to get OT but post how it goes as I'm curious if the infinity can be made to work more or less as well as the lanparty.
I put a 146 in an old neo2 rig they use in the house. When your used to a dfi with all the memory tweaks and then you only have the basic 4, it really makes a big difference in how much of a stable oc you can get. I didn't want to mess around with the TT BT or the hyper6 so I put a smartcat fan on an old silent boost cooler. If I remember right, the MSI core center did not read temps right. It shows 52c idle but I can feel all around it and it doesn't feel hot at all. Anyway, here's a ss with zero memory tweaks (that's why the time stinks). I could run windows at 3000 1:1 but pi wouldn't finish.
Just realised I had ram on 2t.

I've had both boards and the lanparty is a lot better board for the same price. Why would you want to pay the same money and then have to use a bunch of software to try to get where the other mb is already? :confused: You also get all the round cables with the ultra, infinity only has 1 ribbon and floppy ribbon. Smart guard is less and all bio options including dividers are less. Dividers and memory setting are the most important on a 64.Quote:

thanks....yeah i'm on water................BUT I have some problems with 32M times.........not as bad as AFI but certainly pissing me off.............has anyone else compared their 32M times against their old SD or Venice figures hereQuote:

Not sure about a "bunch of software" either since everybody loads a64tweaker and the only difference between smartguardian and speedfan or systool is it doesn't come on the cd in the box. Even guys with ut's have to use a custom config to make mbm5 work. Who oc's that doesn't have to load 8 million bechmarks and tweak tools anyway?
There's also about $50 difference between an sli-dr and an sli infinity so they're not the same price. The ultras are the same but then you have to mod the board which is probably better but I've never modded one and I hear they are putting epoxy over the parts you have to connect now to make it harder. Also nvidia is trying to make drivers to fork up the modded boards so if they pull it off the cheap sli goes down the drain.
If he can't use the vid's then that would kind of suck but if he can get his mem with a64tweaker I don't see how he's hurt too bad.
Got my 148 CABNE 0528 the other day and I'm still playing around with it but I got this so far.

Awesome. Where did you buy it ?Quote:

Somewhere between CABGEs and CAGNEs
0536 cabye cpgw
what about that?
Isn't there a list of OC result with stepping of Opterrons s939 CPU's ?
No. There are general rules of thumb though: CABGE < CABYE < CABNE. We don't have enough data to make any other statements though.
Dinos22, do you know what the markings/week on that 175 are?
CABGE SUX yaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh :slapass:Quote:

While I'm waiting for some more seal string I decided to start playing around with the Asrock 939Dual I picked up for $70 from Ewiz. There are a few threads showing this mobo has some potential with a couple volt mods. I thought it might be a good match for the Opteron because they're both cheap and the Opty doesn't really require much voltage. Without a volt mod, the mobo only gives 1.45v.
Dogsx2 also got this budget board and pm'ed me that he was less than pleased with it. After reading a bit more I decided to start by flashing it to a OCWB beta bios #1 that I picked up here.
Like the EVGA mobo I tested, this bios doesn't include a lot of tweaks, but it remembers its bios settings when OC'ing unlike the EVGA. No Clockgen exists AFAIK for this ULI chipset so it had better. :)
Right now HTT seems limited enough that I'm kicking myself for choosing the 144 (while my 146 just sits) to have first crack at this board. The bios started acting a bit strange around 326HTT so this 144 isn't going to see the same 3ghz it saw on the DFI. I picked out some Twinmos CH UTT and threw a big divider at it. Vdimm selections include "normal" and "high" People with Winbond based memory may want to take a serious look at the vdimm mod.
So here's my start point with this mobo.

At PC3200 speed maintaining 1T doesn't seem to be a problem, although that been a problem reported by some with this board and I expect it'll rear its head soon.
I have no idea how far this board will get. How much should you expect for $70? A mildly OC'ed (1ghz :) ) stable game platform wouldn't be too much to ask for right?
uh, i know this may not be right, but im posting it here anyways. since my 146 is on its way, i wanted to just get a record of my outgoing OC. i ran this computer pre WC at 2.5 all year till sept. this is where im at now. at the very least i could learn some things about my mem tweaking, even tho without active cooling it seems 2.6v is my usable voltage limit.
