I still haven't had time to play with it alot, but the 3000 is at stock voltage for 2.5(10x250) on plain old water. I'll try to get some benches in later tonight when I get home.Quote:

hi
i just got this board today and haven't booted it up yet...
so a summary of this thread kind of:
teh newest beta bios has the voltage option up to 1.85 but only appears sometimes....
as for the vdimm mods and vcore mod, i assume that it works also for the 8kda3J even though it doesn't say so in the title :)
the voltage goes up under load is this correct?
the both 8kda3+ and 8kda3J use the same bios...
does this all sound correct?
also, when adjusting the vdimm and vcore voltages, is it best to just leave it at the lowest setting in the bios or auto and adjust it with the pots?
That's all correct...but don't worry about the 1.85v option. You can't realy use it, so just do the vcore mod. Do a64's mind high volts or can you go up to 2v+?
In my experience after about 1.85 or so the processors I have worked with stopped responding to voltage increases.
How are your temps?
I have teh same prob with my 3400+. It is a C0, but when I had my AN50R, I could do 2780 stable 24/7. With this 8KDA3+ , I can no longer get over 2.5GHz :mad: And I have a goodamn Vapo LS so temps are not a problem....
anyone have pics of these mods?

Yeah, it is seeming like a speed limit imposed by the motherboard :( If that is the case, I will be getting the AN51. Never had probs with my AN50 so I like the boards.
Maybe the speed restriction is related to the LDT voltage option not being adjustable in BIOS? Seeing as you cannot utilise the 2x LDT setting in BIOS...
Yeah, I mean the HTT Freq voltage. You can't adjust it, which would allow teh baord to be more stable with higher HTT Freqs.
And if you use the 2x HTT Freq option in BIOS, it sets your FSB back to 200 and tells you to reset the cpu parameters :rolleyes: This seems to be a great board for overclocking IF you don't intend on running it on anything other than air cooling...
The middle pin goes to the IC leg and either of the end pins can be used. They just determine which way you need to turn the put to adjust the resistance. I use the bottom pin and that means the adjustment is made anti-clockwise to increase the voltage :)Quote:

I couldn't get the 2x HTT Freq to work at any speeds :(
I dont get why you want to use x2 any ways? I have had prime stable HTT's @ 250+ x4LDT It should handle 1000MHz easily and then some ?
Is there a particular other reason that you might be held back by?
I've run stable at 2.6GHz with the 3x setting. And look at Smokey's siggy(you know, the guy who started this thread ;))....
He's running 2.9GHz so I don't beleive there's a 2.5GHz ceiling for the 8KDA3+/J.Quote:

3X was the lowest setting i could choice for LDT.. Any lower and the next boot it would say that the CPU settings were reset cause it wasnt stable..
why in the world would you want to use a ldt of 2 or 1?? talk about a decrease in speed. seems like your more interested in having a high htt rather than having overall performance.
Nothing about wanting to use it in everyday use, but if it is there in the BIOS you 'should' be able to use it. Especially when it comes to benching, the higher the HTT and CPU speed the better, which unfortunatley I lose boith with this board... I will now probably be going to a VIA with PCI/AGP locks after using this board.. It is crap as I have lost 280MHz on my clokspeed with the only difference being the motherboard :rolleyes:
Thanks again Smokey for the damn fine work. :toast:
And thank you to Epox for not using a chip with angel hair pins to control the voltages. :lol: ;)
