should have used msec modded pi and removed car low tests since they can vary 30+fps.
I agree though, low latency is very good... the problem is running "high" vdimm ;)

bored so i broke my own tccd record. best i can do with these sticks
http://members.cox.net/italygirl25/tccd%20325.bmp
3.5 is safe for 24/7 use at least on my sticks it is had them for a year ran them for 6 months straight at that voltage before.Quote:

There is a thread somewhere on the forum about it. basically this board is exactly what i asked abit to make based on issues i had with my original fatality an8. whether or not they actually listened to me is a mystery though. all i know is i got what i asked for.
tictac can you do me a favor and rip apart the an8 ultra bios and the fatality an8 bios. the damn board is identical so i see no reason why it cant support the higher voltages they all use the same chips even the sli board i have uses same chips..........unless the uguru chip has its own bios? or programming if so then how would i program it with the an8 ultra info. If i can get it to work i won't have to buy an an8 ultra also as for phase isnt gonna be good on this board with that cmos battery so close.
your cpu is better than mine.. best I can manage is about 315 with my 2x512 of TCC5 ;)
heh thats bench stable only best i can do 110% stable is 2.4 gig prime stable for months and thats at 240fsb at 300 fsb i get prime crashes random sometimes in 1 hour sometimes in 6 hours sometimes in 36 hours. To further determine it was cpu i used dividers running memory at lower speeds and still failed prime. i think its or hope its heat related though. this claw just generates alot of heat Ocing with air is out of the question with this one.Quote:

anything over 250 fsb = prime errors and anything over 2.4 gig also = prime errors. hopefully eventually ill stumble on a good cpu so far im 3 for 3 now
And yes I know prime isnt the god of all tests but I'm a pro alpha league gamer and cant afford to have any errors and or crashes while I am in a match even though i have never experienced one at 2.6gig. If prime fails than its not stable enough for me
same sort of thing with OCAU and i4memory guys in Australia...most people use water cooling for them here
i just found out we have a distrubutor for Gskill ram....sweet stuff.....i noticed they have PC4800 ram for AUD$350 inc.local taxes (~USD$260) never before was it remotely close to this....there's gonna be a lot more TCCD guys here now...besides corsair which doesn't reach gskill levels

Well i have 4 boards here on test for reviews. 1 of them is the DFI SLI-DR and the other 1 is the ABIT AN8 Fatal1ty SLI and i can tell you that for stability the ABIT wins hands down....for board features the ABIT wins hands down......for bios options the ABIT bios is stable and is currently being worked on to include a number of options to the end user. I cant say much more about what if any options will be included because im under NDA....lets just say watch this space.... ;)Quote:

The board responds much faster, is more stable....oh hang on i allready said that :woot: and to top it all packs some neat groovy bling red LED's on the MOBO MOFO.
ok so i lied my tccd had a little more left in it i forgot i was running tight timings so i loosened them up a tad and got this. The board and memory is 100% stable the cpu however as ive stated before is stable in everything except prime. ran prime for 3 hours then crashed.

I might just order a gig kit of mushkin redline xp4000 as i found out my friends redline isnt 4000 speed rating. unfortunately i cant get it in 2x256 mb packaging seems to be available in 2x512mb sticks only :/ but for $200 its less than gskill.
thought i might just add this tidbit of info for the rest of you. My bios is 13 that i received with this board and i have no issues so im not about to change it with the scores im putting up.
chew*... get some decent cooling & VGA card
3stage cascade + x850xtPE + FX55 + XP4000
break some 3dmark2001se record ;)
Ok let us know when the new alpha bios will be available :)Quote:

I just cant decide what cpu to get. either a 3700 sandy 4000 newcastle or a fx 53. whatever the case my next cpu will be a 1mb cache. Hopefully my luck will change and ill end up with a good stable cpu soon. For now the x800 xl will have to do till i get my fatality back then i will be in the market for a second pci xpress card.Quote:

I'd really like to give this board a shot
why not just get the ultra its basically a fatality without the bling but cheaper with 4 sata @ 3.0 and gigabyte lan.......and it is recorded as having the voltage options.Quote:

All tests with a 3000+ Venice
The board struggles to do 300fsb 1:1....thing is it does DDR600 real easy if you use the 433 or 500 mode with an E die CPU, infact I can do near ddr700 with 2x256 modules and 650 or so with 2x512 modules,all 1T
I am still playing so no benches etc but i have seen approx 3250MB/s in memtest running 265ishX9 in DDR500mode with 2x512....see how you all do.
Now, 466 mode is not as good, so try and stick with 433 or 500 mode and play with the cpu multi to max the cpu out.
PS...I am running normal drive strength so you should be ok with release bios files.
does your venice do 1T at 1:1

http://www.net-forums.net/forums/Abi...ed-t22067.html
dual channel setup is in memory slot 1&2 or 3&4 right next to eachother WTF.....in which slots do u guys havew the ram installed.....i'm guessing 1&2
also i RMA'd my enermax psu and forgo to keep the 8-pin to 4-pin adapter so now have to wait for that damn thing before i can play with it damn it
solo TOP REVIEW on the Ultra....i know my setup will probably be a bit problematic because of Venice....let's see
i couldn't resist it....i pulled out my old trusty Antec 20-pin PSU with converter SL400 and fired it up.......
3.55vdimm confirmed on board too as Solo mentioned already:fact:
I went to bios chose 2.8V on RAM and set the RAM at 200MHz at tightest possible timings on the UTT RAM(2-2-2-5-1T-7-12-2-2-1-1) ....booted into windows messed around a bit...did a couple of shorter superpi runs...all good...seems like it doesn't have the 1T issue with my Venice.....I am testing now my old Asus UTT result at 3V of 222MHz at tightest imaginable timings (2-2-2-5-1T-7-12-2-2-1-1) and so far so good.....it's looping memtest test#5......10xminutes into it so far NO ERRORS....looking pretty promising........memory bandwidth is at 2792 MB/s at 2001MHz CPU speed 222MHz DDR444 on the RAM at 3V
i will wait for that enermax PSU converter to give higher volts and OCs a crack tomorrow hopefully
One bad thing i spotted is my CPU idling temp of 41-42C which is crazy.....this CPU was at these temps during full load at 2800MHz so either Abit bios is a bit how you going or temps are really higher which i don't like......chipset seems fine....also I applied some silver bullet on that chipset as it had some crapy thermal pad.....maybe that is helping as well......what's up with all the red lights
EDIT: OK turned off test#5 after 15minutes and loaded into windows.....all fine......1M superpi finishes in 40seconds.......:rocker: ...i've also gone to 270HTT in DDR333 divider and RAM was at 221.....looping fine no errors...... :woot: ......CPU at 2433MHz...RAM bandwidth at 3068MB/s........33second 1M SuperPI.........very very nice....CPU temps in load go up to 54C under speedfan but i stuck my finger in there and the copper base of my Freezer64 wasn't even warm......WTF.....i wish someone in sydney could give us a hand with a proper temperature sensor to double check those figures as they don't make sense
I am happy/relieved.....1T is OK and mobo seems to be fine.........I need to do some extensive tests + i am still using my windows from asus setup so will need to do a clean install and do it all properly......looking awefully good so far I must say :banana:............off to bed
nice start... :up:
ignore that temp.... its always abit high on Abit board.... :slap:
does the vdimm mosfet get hot with 3.0V vdimm running? Any cold boot issue on UTT? ;)
Temp is reported about 10c higher than other brand as usual per abit trend... I've yet to have Abit board that reports temp as other board would do since.... p4 S478 abit boards. I still remember wildly panicked people wondering WTH is going on back than.
thanks......mosfet doesn't get hot at 3V and no cold boot bugs yet....i've never experienced it.....even Asus or DFI nf4 Ultra-D.....i only ran my Ultra-D with vdimm jumper in default location 2.5-3.2Volts
i did have a bit of head scratching initially with floppy fail message and this was resolved by going into bios and selecting optimised settings and rebooting....weird one......will play with it tonight when i come back from work....next stock is 3.2V at 237MHz which i did on DFI board and 2.8GHz CPU OC from Asus.......freaking temps are reported high obviously because the base is not even warm.......it's a relief i'm not the only one with that issue so will push the CPU tonight....i've got that silver compound on CPU and chipset so that will take some time to cure as well

Edit*** scratch that the person that was going to trade me for my bh-5 chips backed out :(
nice OPB's RAM is probably cherry picked...nice
hey we need to talk him into getting an Abit board to do some OCing as well
I posted a thread at Abit forum in regards to temperature sensor reporting really high temps for me.......can you guys tell me what the temps are like on your CPUs......and let us know what bios and CPU you actually have, and temps you are getting through bios and windows....thanks guys

Air temp coming out of exhaust on radiator is lukewarm at best.
Curiosity makes me wonder what its going to read when i put my new chiller on it(keep an eye on the waterchilled forums for liquid frostbyte revisited :)). Man that brings back memories. I havent frozen a cpu since my epox 8rda+. kinda makes me sad since I had alot better cpus back then running at faster speeds prime stable than i am now (2700mhz 1700+axp dltc3) here's a pic doesn't it just look o so ghetto.

I'm only getting the ultra over the v1.0 for the higher VDIMM as both my ram need more than 2.8v
you want to add this link to the front page for those having issues tic tac?

.......go back to square one......I started with tictac's suggested timings enclosed below....i am on 9x multiplier though
Memtest 1.55.1 Test 5-----quick 6 loops
Memtest 1.55.1 Test 8-----quick 2 loops
(they are quick loops and once i run into errors at desired speed i will drop MHz back for lengthier tests)
TEST A: 2.8VOLTS on vdimm
TEST1: 200MHz Test5&8----PASS
TEST2: 205MHz Test5&8----PASS
TEST3: 210MHz Test5&8----PASS
TEST4: 215MHz Test5&8----PASS
TEST5: 220MHz Test5----FAIL(errors); Test8----PASS(errors);
TEST B: 2.9VOLTS on vdimm
TEST1: 220MHz Test5&8----PASS
TEST2: 225MHz Test5&8----FAIL(errors)
TEST C: 3.0VOLTS on vdimm
TEST1: 225MHz Test5----PASS; Test8----FAIL(errors)
TEST D: 3.1VOLTS on vdimm
TEST1: 225MHz Test5----PASS; Test8----FAIL(loads of errors)
TEST E: 3.2VOLTS on vdimm
TEST1: 238MHz Test5----PASS; Test8----FAIL(loads of errors)
I tried to see if a much faster fan would make a difference in terms of cooling and it made NO difference
It seems that my Venice also has the problem with 1T with this bios so I CHANGED TIMING TO 2T and here are the results:
TEST A: 3.0VOLTS on vdimm
TEST1: 225MHz Test5&8----PASS
TEST2: 230MHz Test5&8----PASS
TEST3: 235MHz Test5----FAIL(errors)...moved to 3.1V
TEST B: 3.1VOLTS on vdimm
TEST1: 235MHz Test5&8----PASS
TEST2: 240MHz Test5----FAIL(errors); Test8----PASS
TEST C: 3.2VOLTS on vdimm
TEST1: 240MHz Test5&8----PASS
TEST2: 245MHz Test5----FAIL(tens of thousands of errors); Test8----PASS
TEST D: 3.3VOLTS on vdimm
TEST1: 245MHz Test5----FAIL(40 errors); Test8----PASS
TEST E: 3.4VOLTS on vdimm
TEST1: 245MHz Test5&8----PASS
TEST2: 250MHz Test5----FAIL(errors); Test8----PASS
TEST F: 3.55VOLTS on vdimm
TEST1: 250MHz Test5&8----PASS
TEST2: 254MHz Test5&8----PASS
TEST3: 259MHz Test5&8----PASS (AFTER 5 hour Burn-in)
(End of test there at TIGHT timings set out by tictac...I don't see much point loosening the timings to reach 260/265......but I might burn them in a little as see what happens)
BTW.....the mosfet heatsink that sits next to that heatpipe copper heatsink is not even warm......more like luke warm at 3.55Vdimm...i was expecting to be able to fry a couple of eggs.....well DFI is supposed to be pretty hot at these volts anyhow......I only have active cooling on the RAM.....92mm fan spinning at 1500RPM....slow just to blow some air over the RAM
I'm happy :banana:
Solo, I am interested whether you used the same settings on Ultra board as you did with SLI Fatal1ty

There is only 2% real world performance penalty between 1T and 2T so I don't think it's that big a deal......damn it Tictac you can mod the bios as well.....what do you reckon you fix that and a few other things we need ;)

2.8ghz is sweet, what's there to complain about? Unless it u got a higher overclock on the DFI. Also, software measurement of volts is inaccurate. Measure with a Meter to confirm the volts. Now if only someone can point out where to measure.
but he is running on 2T :(

I've been reading across this topic and I'm thinking about buying 1 , but I'm not sure because I like the DFI board also. And with the T1 issue ... Is there a reassonable chance of that being fixed ? If so I will buy this board cause I like abit, my NF7-s (rev.2) is my best bord ever till now.

Do all the AN8 boards have the stupid incorrect cpu temp problem?
My current board is an Abit and it has the same idiotic problem and I absolutely hate the board because of it. It's great to not know whether your CPU is burning up or not when you're overclocking. Right now my CPU is reading as 64 C. Is it actually 64? Is it 54? 44? Who the ^&$(# knows.
Sorry if I sound bitter, but I was really looking forward to buying an AN8 Ultra and I'm gonna hate having to buy another board because they can't fix a stupid little problem that's been affecting their boards for years.
:lol: it is a little unsettling for me too but i know the temps this CPU reaches normally at these speeds and volts so it's not a big concern.....i also do a sophisticated CPU temp probe test by placing my finger on the base of the heatsink.....since it was Cold-luke warm i don't really get too worried about it......BUT if Abit is monitoring this thread you better fix this damn problem cause temp monitoring is crucial on a heavily overclocked system.....

That works fine if everything's installed correctly. If the heatsink isn't completely flush or the thermal compound isn't spread correctly, there won't be any way to tell. Touching the heatsink won't tell you that there's poor conductivity between it and the core.Quote:

:lol:....as in 1T problem still there or?
I didn't have issues at 1T at low volts...215MHz or so but anything higher spat out test#8 errors :(Quote:

you've gotta stick it out a bit
powering down be anything...CPU, PSU, RAM, motherboard, heat......i always lean to PSU if everything is at stock
can you explain what actually happens.....does it just reboot on its own or what.....stock settings.....difference between 1T and 2T

If you have any of your voltage rails tweaked above stock the board may be shutting down due to that.
:lol: they speak in german language i guess... so didnt realy know is it on 1t / 2tQuote:

Open your bios... check at abit eq menuQuote:

WTF is wrong with Abit if they think my CPU idles around 46C and load in high-50s....low-60s....no way in hell.....someone is on drugs there for sure
I will be able to prove them wrong with a proper sensor.....would that be factual enough for them :fact:
I think they need a :banana::banana::banana::banana:load of emails from all of us users here so that they get their act together manQuote:

My buddy recently purchased the AN8-SLI (Non Fat version) and when I tweaked his Venice 3200+ I was able to obtain 250x10 1:1 2.5-2-2-5 1T on his OCZ Plat Rev 2 memory @ 2.9V. He plays a lot of UT2K4 and I looped 3DMark03 5x before I left his house. Needless to say his system is fast, and rock solid. :toast:
To the person who's system keeps turning off with this mobo, I feel your pain. My San Diego 3700+ does this all the time to me if I go over 235 HTT, and it still has shut my system down. I found my processor can oc all the way up to 2.85ghz into Windows, but it simply will not STAY ON if I play a game which is crazy. Temps are within normal spec, but I think the problem lies in the voltage to the chip. If I go over 1.5 volts on any HTT my computer will shut down under heavy loads. It has done this on a K8N Neo2 and my AN8-SLI Fat. board
Needless to say I am trying to sell my San Diego and gets another :slapass:
that seems to only happen with the venice/sandiego cores... it´s a pain...
anyone interested in an AN8-SLI please PM me. It works perfectly fine. I ordered two thinking it was defective but it turns out to just be a Venice issue. The only "mod" I did was replace the thermal pad with Ceramique.
i had the PC turned off, cable unplugged after that burn-in this morning.......left UTT config at 250MHz 1:1@3.55vdimm.....
started the PC now and no problems.....memtest OK....seems that there is no cold boot issue according to one example from XS...so that's good....tightened the timings where ever possible and looping at 256Mhz
i had the initial setup outside the case and all so i put it all together...plugged all the :banana::banana::banana::banana: in and so forth....when i turn the PC on i get this continuous buzzing sound from the case speaker...i don't know whether that was there yesterday or not as i didn't have it plugged in....i went into the bios and disabled the beeping and it stopped....i checked out everything in the bios and nothing seems out of the ordinary so i'm wondering what that beeping is about :confused:
it might have been case fan not plugged in
do you mean the pics from "forumer"?Quote:

Im practicly drooling over here! :slobber: I dont understand why the ultra hasnt been released to the US yet.
if i turn fan monitoring off than it shouldn't make the noise right?....i cannot remmeber now but when i get home from work i'll check it again because i have to figure out what that noise is about

i tightened the timings to 2-7-12-2-2-5-2-2-1-1 2T Burst:4; Bank Interleave: Enabled....burning them in more at 256MHz

zipzoomfly has what looks like the v2.0, non ultra, in stock for $255.00 !!! :eek:
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...uctCode=240166
The V2.0 doesn't have SATAII, does it? That board does...
Maybe it actually is the Ultra. But it costs $100 more than the SLi? lol
