Once your past this this first post you can up the mem voltage as high as you want.

So if I was to select 3.6v and got a black screen, would I then power the machine off and back on, and that would take care of the issue, or is it more complicated to get it to boot with 3.6v+?

This is in no way productive, it is just simply thread crapping. It isn't even a reasonable interpretation of my post. I was very happy with 3.1v, I am more happy with 3.3v, but my mentality as well as 90% of the people in this forum feel that more volts the better! Obviously DFI felt the same if they tried to off 4v which is more than I have ever heard of offered stock, so I don't know what you are talking about. I also made a valid point that 4v would have turned heads, and created even more hype, so it would have helped dfi even more, and I am sure that was one of the reasons they wanted to allow 4v.

I am assuming this is a case of someone reading the last post in a thread and feeling the need to put someone else down. 3.1v is not the stock voltate, infact there isn't a stock voltage yet because the board hasn't been finalised apparently, and as of now the max vdim was changed to 3.3v, but apparently you don't take the time to actually read before you post, you just blurt out the first absurd thing that comes to your mind.

I don't appreciate that kind of attack, nor do I appreciate your negative nonproductive post. If you want to thread crap and attack people you don't belong here.

Sorry for the rant, but this guy realy touched a nerve:mad:

It won't post at 3.6, so if it is turned off at 3.6 then turned back on it won't post:D

The best way to run over 3.6 is with OCZ booster.
Run what ever Voltage you want after post, before you reboot dial down the voltage below 3.6, this could also be done with an adjustable 3.3 line PSU.

man, what do u all guys want with VDIMM > then 3.3V ? :rolleyes: :D ;)

:banana3: a have also the DFI coming to me,i expect it around the 15/16 sept,a find it very fast for belgium.

Will a have troubel with my corsairs(sig)if it's tru that the vdimm is going to be 3.2 i'll will be a very happy man,go DFI go:toast: .

hm, damn.....nothing to see in germany yet :(

but, when it is in belgium, then i shall find it at the same time in germany :D

or did u order from the US Rocker ? :confused:

hi Rocker,

Where did you found it in belgium , I would be interested to buy one too,

kind regards ,

tomati

They are looking to hit higher speeds then DDR660 even probably....if it is possible..Although I am not sure if it is or isn't...

performance greater than my last system which was an intel 3.0c @ 4ghz with 1GB mushkin black lvl2 pc3500 @ 534mhz 2-2-2-5 @ 3.7V for over 3 months rock solid. I would be very unhappy if a mod did not allow me to reach higher than 3.3v. It may end up limiting the fx-53 which I'm about to order (As soon as the damn dfi board comes out I'm ordering everything).

Voltage + cooling = speed.

DFI and Level II

OPP

What kind of score did that do on the DFI?

But the OCZ EB is still the best for the DFI correct?

Or is the Cosair any good as well?

Cool, it's good to see the Mushkin will play in this board. :cool: Well, I'm hurrying up & waiting as fast as I can, lol. My X800 VIVO shipped yesterday, so I'll probly have it Tuesday, and sooner or later, this mobo's gonna get here. :D

Glad i kept my 2x256 XMS3500 now:) Will be able to get some great bench scores with all that vdimm + a DDR booster to play with ;)

I have a friend who wants this board, but he wants to know if a thermalright xp120 heatsink will fit. and also will his DTR 3200 work? Also, do you know if the xp120 will have any contact issues on the dtr?

AFAIK someones already asked this question and the answer is no to the XP-120.

Although everything fits after a bit of time with a dremel or hacksaw.

slk948u then. Thanks man

Hi fellow DOC's,

the place to be is in http://www.bytesatwork.be the have it in next week friday or the week afther monday(17 or 20 sept) a now a have say't 15/16 but 17/20 is more likly.

There is not yet a price set but you can order one the will send you the € when the have from the wholeseller(groothandel).

@tomati,

are you from Belgium?

Enybody nows if a will have troubel with the corsairs pc3500c2rev1.1(bh5)or will a by better off with OCZ pc3700EB,watt do i take then for best performance 2x256mb or 2x512mb(for benchen and gamen),becaus i will buy some OCZ sticks.:rocker:

I love that smiley:rocker: :rocker: it is made special for me a think(not):lol:

2x256MB = benching-config

2x512MB = gaming-config

;)

Big THX rocker, I was trying to find a shop in belgium, but there arent that many shops that sell DFI. Lets hope they do get it the 14th, that would be great.

Hmm yes but a won't it for benchen+gamen,why don't the have stick right in between,like 356mb or something like that:D :p: .

No problemo lifeless;) ,it's for me also the first time a order there, so lets hope :up: .

I also need 1 gig ram, som when i oc and bench i will go with just one stick, and the rest of the time i will max out 2x512 and hope for the best :D

Yes but with 1 stick of 512mb you lose your dualchannel and that make's a lot of performance differens,i think.

It's better then with 2x256 then 1x512 is'nt that right:) ,a now it's a drag,for best in all that you have 2x256 and 2x512,but who can afford that;).

O :brick: :am: was thinking of s939,and it as to be s754:brick: :brick: ,indeed single mem.

There is no dual channel.

Check out the new XP-90 as well. The Thermalright tech support guy told me the XP-90 runs 3C cooler in his machine than the SLK948U.

It is just out. Heatsink Factory is expecting to start shipping on Tuesday. Check out this review.

You know if that one will fit ?
Should i mail them ?

Im going to order the XP-120 and try to make it fit, cant be impossible =)

The XP-90 should fit, according to Thermalright tech support. It has no known incompatibilities with existing 754 MBs at this point.

Let us know how the XP-120/DFI adjustment process goes. Hopefully, it is not too expensive.! :D

first post :eek:

Will I be able to reach 2.5 ghz with the A64 3400+ CW and Ocz 2x512 3700 EB Platinum on this DFI Mboard with air cooling (SLK948 and good case airflow)?

Cpu info:

ADA3400AEP5AP
CAAOC 0402XPMW

Hope to get this Mboard in like a week :)

on the clockage above default.

expect 2.3, 2.5 would be nice, but, the CW version with 1 gig of L2 just doesn't clock the same as the 512 Newcastles.

of course, 2.5 is easily attainable if you are using phase change for cooling.

Thanks for the link Rocker

I just will wait they have it in stock before to order

Yes I am from brussels

Now i am confused!

I sent this to Thermaltake:

"I heard the XP120 wont fit on this board.
Is it the headpipes that are in the way for something ?
Can you put this headsink both ways (the headpipes toward AGP)
I want to mod it to fit (Cut away), but do you think its totally impossible ?
Warranty and such i dont care about =)
Thanks for any info.

And now i get this from them:

"We're hearing allot about this motherboard, first of all; DFI delivered one of these to our labs in TW and it was found that the XP-120 fit. But forums and others are saying that it doesn't, I would hope that what we received is the same that DFI is shipping.
So, until we see more than one of these motherboards we really cannot comment on modding or the need to do so to make the Xp-120 fit. It does fiot the onme we were sent!!"


My first mail to DFI told me this:

"After checking the dimension and our layout, we are sorry to say that the heat sink cannot use on our LP UT board."


So i guess DFI dont have an XP120 to test with and didnt really put so big effort to check this.

Bigtoe or OPPainting do you know if they changed layout on the board from the prototype ?

Yeah Rocker!

I've mailed Bytes@work asking them to accept my preorder. I've seen on the shop that they send only to Luxenbourg, Belgium and Nederland.
As they are the only ones (or nearly the only ones) accepting preorders of this board here in europe, they have accepted mine from spain. They will send me their account info as soon as they know the price and taxes to send it to spain.
It's sunday and it only takes them 5 minuts to answer my mails. Great shop :rocker:

I'm so happy cause until I saw your post I was confused about when and were would I find that board. Now I'm so happy

erm....there is a REAL peformance-boost of about 0-5% :rolleyes:

but, when u drive SC, u can afford more MHz ;)

and Sandra just shows the THEORETIC DualChannel-speed....that doesn't mean, that u will get 10fps more in Doom3, when u drive DC instead of SC ;)

so, i even would drive SC on a S939 to get more MHz, which gives u REAL boosts ;)

Good for you man:up: ,as far as i no the are the only shop that will have the DFI,the say that a will by one of the first one's in belgium to have the board,so am sitten with the shake's on till i have it in my possesion,a will have a:banana4: to calm down:lol: .

jep, i also preordered mine. with me it only too 3 minutes to get an answer ;) :D

so thx again Rocker :)

already have my watercooling now, and a gig 3700EB, so i'm just waiting for that DFI to arrive, so i really hope they estimation of the 14th is correct.

By the way, what would you guys suggest, an 3000+ NC of 3200+ NC. (cant find CH :() i'm still not sure wich one to buy, since most new newcastles both 3000 and 3200 seem to max out around 2600mhz (on air and water), i might not need the 11x multi. And it would save me 50€. what would you guys do?

grtz,
lifeless

Well i am still not sure witch one i'll take,a 3200+ or 3400+ if a can get a good stepping it's a 3200+,but it is not easy over here to ask the shop to look what stepping it is,the are not that happy to look for you,so it is a bit of a gamble.

Opp or BigToe,

How high can you get Vdimm by just raising the 3.3V rail?
I assume raising this 3.3V rail will raise Vdimm, right?


Does anyone know what price Bytes@work will charge for this board?

no dude, raising your 3.3 line will not raise your vdimm unless your vdimm is modded to run whatever the 3.3 line is (direct wire)
alsi it shoul dbe noted that if you are going to runn 3.3 or otherwise high vdimm you should keep you +3.3v psu line .1 above you chosen vdimm.

here is a question - I have 2x256EB - is it a bad idea to get 1x512EB and run all three dimms...512/256/256 for 1gb?
or would I kill my clocks worse than 2x512?
also at some point running 1gb with significantly lower clocks has to be worse than running 2x256 with high clocks....like a barton only being better than a tbred if you can get within 200mhz of the tbred clocks. And wouldn't extra onboard vga mem make dimms less important, ie would not 256mb agp and 512mb dimms be somewhat equivalent to 128mb agp and 1gb dimms?

Highest I got was 3.16V.

I didn't see a difference when raising my 3.3V, although I think I should have.

Thanks Opp.

The latest bios allows 3.3V if i understood right, so that's a nice start, though not enough to keep my BH-5 happy over 255MHz.

Strange that raising the 3.3V rail doesn't affect Vdimm as it gets fit's juice from this rail.

Oh well, there will be mods in time i'm sure. ;)

Yepp you right :toast: but wait next month a will kick your ass with my new a64 rig ;) en some ocz 3700EB with the booster i will :frag: you.

<dutch mode on>

t'is t'hopen hè da ik eens ne redelijken oc kan maken met dien DFI hè,als het wa mee zit heb ik alles tegen begin volgende maand,heb ook nog de OCZ 520w voeding die opkomst is,dus houd u mor al gereed hè;).

sorry guys for the belgium talk it type's better:lol:

I really dont think your the only one here getting DFI and EB ram =))

yeah i get the 2x256=bench 2x512=game, but is it lunacy to bench 2x256 and game 256+256+512=1gb?

Using final retail board with modded bios allow VDIMM > 3.1V , however it is not official and no support ...

Any damage from this is also a possible condition , use it at your own risk ...

Restriction of running higher VDIMM > 3.1V

1 . CPU VID control must set to voltage other than Auto
2 . Your ATX 3.3V must be higher than your target highest VDIMM for about 0.1~0.2V
Ex : 3.3V ~ 3.4V VDIMM with ATX 3.3V@3.5V~3.6V is possible

A noob question because "i know noooothing"
Does the 3.3 volt rail from psu only power the RAM on MB ?

So if i raise this rail nothing else on MB take damage ?

Good info, thanks man!

This modded bios is not gonna be released by DFI then i'm afraid?

So with this modded bios, i can set Vcore to say +110%, adjust my ATX 3.3V to let's say 3.5V and have 3.4VDIMM?

Do you set these VDIMM values in bios or do you get these values by just raising the 3.3V rail?

modded 3.3V-BIOS will come, when OCZ-oskar has send the bios to bigtoe (afaik)

Definitely a thing to consider, however, for example, with DFI nForce2 Infinities, I have not run even an hour with any official bios. For people pushing the boards to their limits and for those which are going to have real use of more than 3.1 Vdimm with the modded bios, warranty is not so much of a big concern, I think.

Hehe, DFI-street.com will provide us with some *danger* bios's i reckon, seeing how much flavours are available for the NF2 boards. :)

Voiding warrenty is part of the game if you want to go fast, no problem for most i guess.

All mods are done at own risk...or something? :D

Looks like we are going to have to wait till the boards get here to see if it fits or not.

Maybe the Thermalright tech support guy I got a response from was getting the 754 board confused with the 875 Lanparty boards, which Thermalright lists on their site as having a conflict with the XP-120.

EDIT: Just checked the Thermalright site and the Lanparty UT 250GB is now listed with no remarks - i.e., it fits! :banana: Yeah! Off to change my sig again. :D

Hi,

my first post here... I've got the retail board here since Monday (only 3 delivered to Singapore) and I could mail the bios (dated 27.08.2004) to anyone who's interested :)

Final stats:

FSB: 456
VCore: 2.1v (1.55*136%)
VDimm: 3.1v
Chipset: 1.9v

You lucky *******!! :D
The bios i think is nothing different from the bios the board will be shiped with.

What we want is a bios that allows 3.3+ Vdimm.

How's stability and overclocking?

Btw, welcome to XtremeSystems. :toast:

Not yet tested - was lucky enough to fit it into the case and boot up for the first time yesterday - my kidz do not care about daddy's hobbies ;)

Pix are HERE

How strange. :D

You were very luck to get one out of three!

That's one bigass cooler you got there but it fits fine as far as the pic shows.

Personally i think the yellow slots are phucking ugly but that won't stop me from getting this board.

Keep us updated on your overclocking on this most sought after piece of hardware nowadays please. ;)

You're absolutely right - the yellow colour s*x big time ;)
Cost me a couple of phone calls to convince them that I must be one of the lucky guys... The cooler is just the Zalman that I use on both systems - it's damn good and most important - silent !
using this with AS5...
I guess I hv to shoot for high FSB - on the MSI I got 300x7 stable with the OCZ PC4200, but voltage was limited...
My CPU doesn't want to go over 2300 anyway :-[ so high FSB for the time being - hopefully w/o SATA bug and with both ram sticks onboard ;)

About this Sata bug, have a peek here. ;)

2,3Gig ain't much but perhaps with this boards higher Vcore it will go a bit higher?

GL. :toast:

Well, this one does not give me any further clues as I already have the raid array connected to the NF-native one and it still hangs at exactly FSB230 with two ram sticks (no matter what cpu multi...)

Please, I don't hope to go 300 HTT but at least 250! :worship:
I work with a raptor as sis HDD and a seagate (SATA) as data HDD

:stick:

Glad to see this place back up!
http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/show...&threadid=1490 :YIPPIE: :cussing: :bsod: :lol: :brick: :bounces:

so far, nothing but problems if I change anything in the bios that has to do with CPU/RAM settings.

So far all I can successfully do is disable the Full Logo Screen, change the boot sequence, make AGP the first read, that is about it.

Everytime I try to save and reboot, with the exception of the above mentioned stuffs, the system needs to have the CMOS cleared and I have to do it all over again.

Also, the darn CPU is running @69*C, stock cooler w/AS Ceramic, and at stock voltages all around.

This is not starting out to be a happy camper experience so far.

I am going to get another aftermarket CPU cooler, prolly a 948U, but until then, I am laying low.

Any tips or comments welcome.

baldy

disregard sig for now. :upset:

Are you useing 1 or 2 stick of ram?

The shipped bios has a temp bug. I flashed to the beta and it fixed the temp.

And are you using a mobile?

two sticks of Mushkin Level II, PC3500, BH-5 stuffs, 512 meg.

is that the problem???

i have some Mushkin 256 sticks, BH-5, PC3500, level II, i also have a stick of Corsair PC3200, 512 meg, BH-5 stuffs and several sticks of Hardcore Cooling PC3500 and PC3200 ramski, haven't tried any of those as yet.

it is a bit frustrating to say the least, but if it is a memory prob, then at least i know where to start.

i certainly would like to run with 1 gig of memory.

Try one stick in slot one first, see if it helps. If so, then you can make some bios adjustments to set it up for 2 sticks.

What is your cpu?

OPP

and got the 2800+, just in case i fry it while getting the clockage and cooling going properly. i have a 3200+ in the wings.

i am also worried about the 69*c on the CPU at stock settings and with no load at all.

it is the stock heatsink, but i would think even with the stock unit temps would be lower..i will be using air cooling until this is all sorted out, have a 948U on the way.

off to try the single stick as you suggested, i am presently using slots 2 and 3 for the two sticks of ram.

OPP

The shipped BIOS has a temperature bug with Newcastle, it will cause CPU throttling, if you are going to disable this option, it will not boot. The BETA BIOS has offset the temperature in order to prevent this from happening and fixed the boot problem when CPU throttling being disabled, however, if you are using a Clawhammer, the temperature shown will be too low....:P
Nice to see the 3.2V Vdimm works with modded BIOS :)

i am running @ 8x250 so far. thanks for the linkee. i was turning off CPU throttling, i suppose that is why it hung at rebootage. learning quickly..............

nice choices on the Vdimm, my 3.3 line is @3.5 right now, maybe i will pump it up some more with the pots so i can throw some volts at the bh-5.

anyway, got the single stick in slot one. what settings are necessary to run both sticks of BH-5 for the gig????

anywho, thanks again for the info :YIPPIE: and link for the beta bios info. temps did drop dramatically, but still seem somewhat high. once it is sorted, the prommie will come back online.

I have tested with a Giga of BH-6 (HyperX PC3000), it is running fine...
Some memories I have tested:
GEIL ULTRA-X: 512M X 2
HyperX PC3000: 512M X 2
HyperX PC3500(CH-5): 512 X 2
HyperX PC3500(BH-5): 256 X 2
Corsair xms 3500 V1.1 (BH-5): 256 X 2

You should use Dimm 1 & (2 or 3), I like Dimm 1 & 2

I got 256HTT 1:1 with my corsair xms 3500 V1.1 256M X 2, 3.2V Vdimm, and even with a pair of HyperX 512M X 2 (CH-5), I got HTT 245 1:1 @ 3.2V Vdimm with this LanParty MB. :rotf:

The 1G kit of OCZ 4200 will run 270 1:1. I don't think you will have issues with a 1G kit. and dimms 1&2 I maxed out 255HTT Dimms 1&3 hit 270HTT.

9x250 with a single stick, gonna try it with two sticks, then call it a night. is there a secret to running two sticks, as far as settings in the bios?????

thanks for the help so far.

updateness, slapped in another 512 BH-5 for a gig total (slots 1 & 3), now running 9x255.

going to bed.................later.

No tricks for me this OCZ will only run 8,4,4,3.0 I just left all the settings Auto that concerned the Memory timings.

W00t, the site's back up, and I got the board runnin' now. :banana4: I haven't tried any OCin' yet, but thought I'd share a couple things. First off, I'm runnin' my mobile 3000+, booted right up AND correctly identified it. :cool: Also, you can run it with the Swiftech Northbridge cooler, but only with the stock X800 heatsink. The ATI Silencer 4 won't fit with the Swifty. I left pretty much all the settings on Auto, while installing Windows, and it's runnin' 2x512's of Mushkin just fine. :up: Welp, I just got done updating before I came here, so haven't really got a feel for things yet. Seems pretty nice so far tho. BTW, thanx to the guys that upgraded the site, we appreciate ya. :buddies: :toast: Oh yeah, thumbs up to DFI, for including DX 9c on the support CD. :thumbsup: The version ya dl from MS was givin' me headaches. :brick: ;)

ive heard memory slots 1&3 will gain you about 10mhz..

Will big ram sinks (let's say 1" high and base is exact size of the chips) cause a problem with the zalman, or a similar sized nb cooler?

edit-> did the forums already get changed again shifting the avatar and other stuff from the top of the post back to the side?

You need to play with drive strength and a few of the other tweaks available in bios. I have seen ram that only runs 3-4-4 run 3-3-3 with a few tweaks ;)

Same here, 270x8 10-4-4-3 and 1T, no probs...

http://www.forumdeluxx.de/gallery/da.../1701270x8.JPG

Got the baby upto 260x8 at 8-4-3-2.5 also (no real performance increase against 270x8 as mentioned above), but everything above is unstable...

Good to see that people like bigtoe are around :) !

I have a modded bios that allows up to 4 volts for the Vdimm.
I tried to upload it, but I can't, the file is 293 k or so.
so it's too big

Just give the poor people out here the LINK for download ;)

Got it and will hv to see how much I can squeeze out of that 3.3 rail on my OCZ 520W ;)

Oh yes, thanks to BigToe, I am a believer of these small tweaks now. My OCZ 3200 Plat Rev2, that I myself could only tweak up to DDR540, can now run at DDR580+ at 2.5-3-3 timing using BigToe's setting. Again, thanks Tony for all the help!! :YIPPIE:

@H2OGun
Got a link for those settings or do you got it from the OCZ forum ?

i would know the settings, too :D

this new DFI board is really awesome.

mY first run:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~famchow/A64_34...8GHz_stock.JPG
With STOCK voltage, OMFG

Unfortunaly the little bugs: wrong temp reading and some boot bugs.

Try the beta biossen tonight for more vdimm :banana4:

:slobber: this board looks :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing amazing. 3.1v stock?! Up to 3.5ish with right bios and good rails?! I'm curious as to how my bh5 will fare with this board...

Now i have a few questions:
if you were jumping into a64's, would it be a bad idea to pair a mobile with this board?
the booting issues with mobiles are due to lack of vcore, and has DFI said anything on this topic?
I'm hearing mixed things about what heatsinks this board takes, does the xp120 fit or not fit?
Do the sammy TCCD's really run as good as anandtech says they run?

I am very curious as to how well mobiles will pan out with this motherboard...
i'm wanting to pair a 3000 CH DTR with this :)
my optimistic goal is 2600mhz, realistic goal being 2500ish ;)

With that config you're running in a league of its own ;) Great stuff !

I got it from BigToe over the phone conversation yesterday. He helped me to hand test my RAMs so he knows exactly what setting to use for these sticks. But, as he said, play around with the Drive Strength setting. It really helps a lot!!!

Ok thx - will do :)

Can't believe my bad luck, got mine saturday but was DOA. :dammit:
How do you flash this 4v Vdimm bios, is it possible in windows with one of these programs, or do i need a floppy to flash?

@Zeus

My condolences ! :( The Winflash Prog is on the CD that comes with the board...

No, too small. There must be something funny with the file host. My first download of that bios (found here) resulted in a 92 KB file size.....too small. I downloaded it again and got the full 512 KB file. Used the Winflash utility (@ Zeus) to flash and got the fixes and the VDimm options! Maybe too much traffic for the host? Try again though, you'll get it. :)

Looky what i got :D

Heres my OCZ Support:
