Any other people still getting 166 divider issues with the modded bios? All divider work fine on my board now. :confused:
260x9 is definately my sweet spot. 1.5v, stable, lower temps, same scores. My memory is killing me though at only 173.
Dam even with this new modded bios I can't get 280 stable with my plat rev.2 dam tcc5, when i got from 2.5-3-3-7 to 2,5-4-3-7 i gain minimal stablility then when i go to 2.5-4-4-7 i get decreased stablility. :S wtf, I can't seem to get memtest86 to run off floppy with this bios.
Yes i still have the 166 issue but I already knew that for me it wasnt to do with the timings so ive been focussing on 1:1 for a while and NFM bios does help me get higher 1:1 so im happy.
I run my 9800 Se modded to pro at 440 core and 371 memory I use a vga silencer with artic silver 5 but i took off the plastic casing of the vga silencer and the fan and screwed the stock athlon 64 fan into the heatsink So its more like a cpu heatsink design. I have a pci exhaust fan below that to remove the heat.
I used the pencil mod to up the voltage on the 9800 pro and it helped on the core but didnt help at all with the memory but then i have crappy SE memory so 371 is quite good.
Jeez, your 9800se can do more than my new from RMA pro. I wonder how high I can get my Dell ram to go 1:1. Should I try 3-4-4-10 and 2.8v maybe.
Give it a go; you have nothing to lose. :)
Use windows memtest to test it for errors, as it's better than memtest by a long shot IMO.

Lol forget that. 225 is about all it will go. Would you be happy with this:
260x9 CPU
1.48v
133 divider
2-3-2-7 timings
agressive timings and performance mode enabled
Have you tried 290 x 8 with a 133 divider giving 2320mhz cpu speed and 193 ram speed.
Turn off aggressive timing before you try and performance mode.
is this NFM 1T mod 1.8 bios good for UTT ram
You only need the 1T mod bios if you are using a san diego as the option shows with the winnie and venice cpus.
Try and set the timings that the 1.8 HH bios uses in a64 tweaker in windows and if it works flash to the bios and tell us if its good with UTT ram :)
I tried 300x8 when I first got the board. It was unstable, but I'll try it now. BTW, do AT and P-mode help at all. I always left them disabled, but figured I would turn them on since I was underclocking the memory.
I am really contemplating getting a DTR setup. I can get a 3000 DTR with thermalright heatsink for $115, Chaintec NF3 for $55, 1gb Corsair value for $75, and a 6800nu for $160. I am sure I could sell my setup and maybe come out ahead even. The DTR's are beasts. 1mb cache and ~2.8ghz.
Aggressive timings will only decrease your stable OC, but you could try enabling performance mode to see what happens. I always leave both disabled though.
my utt max speed on can hit 260fsb 1tQuote:

If the system is solid with them enabled, then keep it that way. If you want to OC more later though, would be best to turn them off to help with stability. :)
Performance mode will overclock your overclock which is bad because 260 x 9 is your maximum settings. Aggressive timing you might as well enable if its stable because it should/might make your ram work faster.
Most people disable Aggressive timing because they want a high ram speed but because you cant get that anyway its different for you. Your ram isnt really stretched at 167mhz,
NFM the rev 2 sandy bios is it the same with just the hidden options showing or did you do away with the need to have the realtek lan active and hardmod the timings into the bios?
Havnt tried it yet as I use shift f2 alt f3 with the rev 1.
If its the same with just hidden options ill wait for rev 3 :p:
Maybe you could change the layout in rev3 like tictac did with his rev2 he actually says he doesnt mind people using his bios to edit from so might be an idea.
Also was thinking of making some custom boot screens with photoshop if i can make anything good ill brand it with your name and maybe you could use them. If they are good that is ;)
Will performance mode still overclock more if I disable dynamic overclocking. BTW, my limit is 270x9 but that requires more volts and shows no benchmarking advantage. My ram is running 173 2-3-2-7 1T. Also, what about DRAM strenght, spread spectrum, ATI speed up, etc.
performance mode without dynamic overclocking doesnt do anything i dont think.
spread spectrum = off
ATI speed up = off (it does the same thing as dynamic overclocking it overclocks your overclock)
Drive strengh depends on your ram for me it makes no difference what i set so i leave it on normal
@ sideeffect I emailed you. I don't know if you got that mail. I need access to your ftp, just update some stuff. Email me kamilkss@hotmail.com
You have mail :slap:Quote:

Read Preamble = 6.0ns
Since the bios is achieving max HTT for memory, i think those timings "might" help a bit. Could you mod a version with those in NFM? Then we could test it against your current version and see which yields higher results. :)
Yes that seems logical You could keep running the hh bios in parallel with a slightly tighter timed bios.Quote:

Will try 1.95, it is the last bios left to test.
If anyone have an idea, thx a lot.

Cant get into windows or cant boot? Do the other bios files boot into dos ok?Quote:
