well yeah for nb voltage im down to 1.36 which is not to bad imo.. i am going to play with the gtl's after i get the voltages as low as i can for now. then once i get them setup maybe ill be able to lower them even more

sounds like data corruption

Yes when updating/changing BIOS version this sometimes occurs, Ive had alot of problems like this, i always use and old hdd with a clean install to test with when updating bios's so many times ive had to reinstall ..

wait... how did you do that with special vid add i thought you could only add special vid with more than 1.2volts?? if i go below 1.2vcore than i cant use the special vid??? so how is that possible for you??
07-28-2008, 05:22 PM
AriciU

No idea. It just works. :) I'm using the 30/05 beta.

If i use 1.2v instead of auto then setting any special add that will go above 1.3v will result in a no post for me. I can only increase voltage over 1.3v with the VID set to Auto.
07-28-2008, 06:29 PM
zfactor

hmm maybe ill put mine back to auto and use the full add vid feature..but i cant pick add vid unless i set it to 1.2 or higher?? the feature is physically disabled
i wonder if i can drop the voltage some

As we all know, ever since the release of the DFI P35 Cell Shock PC28000 4-4-4-12 memory has been hit n' miss on DFI boards. As good as the memory is 1060MHz - 1080MHz was about tops regardless of voltages or timings. Oskar had done several alpha BIOS releases but nothing really improved.

Things are a bit different now with the release of the 07/14 BIOS. By allowing manual manipulation of DS/DDS and the DLL Modes the board can be tuned for just about any memory. The following screenshots are the first time my Cell Shock sticks have seen anything over 1100MHZ since the P965 board.

Once again Oskar, job well done.

The Special VID add was disabled below 1.3v, because of some instability. This was addressed in some bios update by DFI. The newest BIOSes have this setting fixed. That's how I recall it. So in essence, you're risking your CPU and MB using an older BIOS and the special VID add.

At times setting Strong brings stability to 45nm dual core processors when approaching 500+ FSB without the need to increase NB or VTT voltages. If GTLREF values are being manually set usually this setting will make no difference. This is assuming the values are being set correctly.

Ok i want to flash to this 725 BIOS, what is the proper way of clearing CMOS? ( if need to use jumpers, where are those located on this board?)
And do I need to clear the CMOS after/before ( or both) Flash.

look at the manual that came with your board.

havent seen that option yet:D, but will look for it thanks, it seems DFI got many ways to clear the CMOS.

But do u guys Clear CMOS after/before ( both) flash?
