Yes yes Iolao,
You can be our pioneer for Vmod regulation, we can all be your students :)
Just need to find someone to shift my NF7 then i will join u guys with the experimentations
:bsod:

Further considerations:
About vcore problems, when set to 1.95v and priming I get no longer cable connection via lan after a while, sound is working instead; it seems a power regulation problem when going too high with vcore that causes something strange in southbridge I guess... As vcore goes on fluctuating I suspect a better mosfet dissipation could help.
Dimm slots are also causing me some headache: while slot 1&2 work about the same (difference is 1mhz of max oc), slot3 (the one necessary to dual channel which is located on the outer side of the board) seems to hit a wall at some fsb.
Let me know if you're experiencing the same behaviour...
BTW: I tried 6 sticks of ram in total, all BH5 (CH5 is a no go), and all oc less in dimm slot1.
btw, this mobo is better for oc than nf7s ?!
If you mean cpu oc, then they are the same.Quote:

i'm talking about FSB ;)... i think you can help me :D
I doubt that.. heh i've done more testing last night.This time with water cooling hooked up.Quote:

The CPU wasnt stable if i added 1.95v vcore.. As long as i left it at 1.9v the system was stable.. So with that vcore i could only go up to 2420Mhz with my Barton 2500+. On my RMA'ed NF7-S v2.0 i could get into windows at 2700Mhz at 2.06v.
Once i put a load on the system with Prime95 the system would reboot almost instantly..
I also found that the middel dimm slot 2 sucked.. So 1 and 3 is what i had to use to get DC going.
The board is just a tease.. You can boot into windows with crazy FSB like i got in there at 245FSB but the rails were all over the place! Dancing like crazy. My 12v line would bottom out at 11.70 and the 3.3 line would go as low as 3.25.
I tired everything i could to keep the voltage stable like trying to use as low of voltage on the vcore and vdimm but doing that left me with a crappy overclock..
I dont htink i've ever seen a boards voltages go up and down as much as this..
heres some screens i took that had some nice FSB.. too bad the board liked to reboot once i put a load on. Look at the voltages.
And another.. hehe i guess i didnt capture a good pic where the voltage was at its lowest.. Those are just idle though, plus they would just .02-.04 in either direction idling.
THis one is just single channel..
Man if i could get that other bench stable at 240 DC i'd shut up about this board and put a big old smile on my face and save 1200+ bucks buying an FX system if the wife allows the order to go threw that i made late last night hehehe..
eclypse: my old barton overclocked the same as on NF7.
I don't really trust in those software voltage readings as I assume it's impossible to bench 245 at 3Dmark at 3.10v on +3.3v... well but I did... Assuming that you flashed to the last beta bios, did you try to test the cpu in SC? Could it be a random ram related issue, my board hates my ch5 sticks.
I really like this Infinity!!!
Last night I dropped the multi to 9 and upped the FSB to 240, vCore to 1.90 and vdimm to max. And to my surprise it booted ran benches and ran Prime for1hr(no errors I stopped it) also ran 3Dmarks, Super PI..... so i tried (briefly, more tonight) 9x250 loads windows just fine runs Super PI, Sandra benches... but not Prime. So I backed it back to 9x240 and started Memtest #5 only and let it run all night... and to my surprise it is still running over 10hrs. All this with OCZ PC3200 rev2 DDR almost a year old.
:D
This is the kinda board i wanted!!! Im shooting for 250 and beyond tonight. LOL
Did I mention this is on AIR? And stock cooling on the MB.
Yes i tested it to death first using just a single stick.. Then when i found how high i could go with the voltages stable i slapped in the other stick.
In either DC or SC.. if i used either a high voltage on the vcore 1.95-2.0 and or the vdimm 2.9-3.0 the system would just go pop and restart within 2-3 seconds of puttin a load on it with prime95... sometimes just tryin to get a membench with sandra it would do it.. sometimes just waitin for something to happen it would do it on its own with no load hehe.. Crazy.
Go go go go go clockedout!!
:banana: :D :banana:
I is happy for ya, hope this kind of stuff starts getting mirrored by other peeps or you got darn lucky ;)
I dont think im going to be able to hold out any longer on getting this board!
Eclypse sorry to hear you having these problems, has all your hardware been tested to run ok at the speeds you are trying to attain?
Keep up the posting peeps
Im out of here
Ya mon its all good..
Ok i just noticed that for some reason someone turned down my damn 12v pot on my Antec TC 500.. hehehe can you believe it! I'm like yeah baby! Turned her up adn now she stays over 12v.. Did it do anything for stability? Nope. :(
Can anyone tell me what there 3.3+ line reads idle and under load? And if you have a tweaked P/S please say so.. i'm thinking it might just be a dud board.. I've had a 3.3v line prob on about 3 early NF7-S boards.. i believe the prob went away with my first v2.0 NF7-S.
I do like how every mult is working! Thats a shock after suffering with the NF7 for so long..
Yes, me too! :DQuote:

As for +3.3v I have a psu with adjustable pots but setting to 3.55v (read with DMM on psu wires) gives me 3.17v to 3.35v (always fluctuating). I'm wondering if adding caps on the mobo will solve the "dancing" rails and make me gain some few mhz...
18hrs and counting... 9x240 running Memtest no errors.
:D

@1.95 vcore anymore gets unstable. This is not Prime stable... I think I will have to be around 240-245 to get Prime stable.

I ran a complete run just see if it would.
I am EXTREMELY happy with these results!! :banana: :banana:
I ordered a UN-locked 2500+ today... cant wait to see what it will do. :D
more reason im thinking of this board.. more and more good results!
Hi guys,i am new in these forums and i am so happy to have found them!I see a lot of experts in here! :) Well most probably i will buy the LANPARTY NFII B and i'd like to know if its a good overclocker(better than nf7 and an7 that is).I managed to pull out 2675mhz stable out of my 2800+ thoro (198x13.5) on my asus a7n8x deluxe rev1.4.This board is very good stable etc,but when it come sto overclocking,it plainly sucks...any fsb above 198 will result in black screen and no boot..not even 13x199/200 works nothing..Where do you think my cpu would go with the LANPARTY NFII B?I got corsair xms 3500.System is Watercooled with TREX(waterblock with integrated peltier) on cpu,waterblock on chipset and well waterblock on gpu but thats kinda irrelevant.So i'd like your opinions since i am kinda new in the overclocking scene! :D Oh and keep up the good work!You guys rock
Bump!
Great results guys.
If somebody wants us to take a look at Vmods post in the Vmods section.
I may get one of these in the new year as a project board if I dont have anything better to do, im out on the piss every night till christmass so I wont have much time for serious benching... and I still need to work on the prommy.
How is the board working out CPU clock wize... I need to be able to get a high CPU clock and FSB something which has illuded me thus far... (high clock means more than 2.8gig)
That's going to be our problem Holst.... 2v VCore just isn't enough for Prommie use :( Lets hope the power circuitry can cope with a VCore mod :)
Any vcore over 1.9v gets unstable on air.
Has anyone read this review of the board, it's so bad I was in stiches laughing!!!
heh also on water!Quote:

1.9v on a DLT3C cpu may be the problem. my 1700 dlt HATES vcore over ~1.825Quote:

if im lucky it will boot with 1.85-875, but it is NOT happy with it. i think thats your problem.:)
