I too plan to use a classic vapochill (originally 100w heat removal), do the r404a mod, and get an Asus A8N-SLI. Been eagerly watching this thread hoping for some good news about that route when it is time to buy..

Keep up the fight, I hope you guys find some good solutions!

i'm running vapochill LS with 1.6 bios

use the 1009.003 bios. Download it, rename to A8V.ROM, copy to a floppy and hold down alt + F2 on reboot to falsh EZ_Flash

Clear CMOS after it finishes programming the bios

@Psilonaught1

you mean i should use the Asus Bios on Abit board , right ?

well, i THINK i found a "stable" OC...the really sad thing is that its only 55MHz over my AIR OC :mad: (xp-120 + Nidec BetaV)
CPU: 250 x 11 = 2750MHz @ 1.7V
MEM: 1:1 / 3,3,3,8,14,16 @ 3.32V (G-Skill TCCD + Booster)

whelp, off to eat some Turkey...HAPPY THANKSGIVING to ALL, and to all a good OC!!!

EDIT: after returning from eating...P95 test failed...screw this, im going "back" to water cooling...:grr:

don't do that...unless you really want to make your board useless...lol just update to the latest BIOS or try and find a modded one....

No fan on cpu header (it doesn't pass post with a fan plugged)
Vcore default in bios (can select anything, it doesn't crash)
Vdimm default in bios (can select anything, it doesn't crash)
HTT default (can select anything, that cpu can do)
Vapo LS booting system at -30ºC (can select anything, it doesn't crash)

Now I have vcore mod and DDR Booster running, and have no problems too.

One fact is that with an earlier bios, i tryed to install windows and it crashed in the middle. After reprograming with 1.4B1 bios, I continue the earlier installation instead starting a new one, and was like this that I have my windows system installed. Probably doesn't mean anything, but we must be aware with all possibilities that could make some difference in the final result....

my english is far away from perfect, as i understand the only working board is the MSI K8N Neo2-54G Platinum Nforce board with the onepagebook bios ???

i send three mails to abit (tw / nl / com) hope they answer soon or i'll buy other board.

@Ratax: you use the ddr booster ?

hi

i'm going to buy MSI K8N Neo2 today, do i have to install air cooling first to make a bios update to 1.41b or is this possible with the vapochill ?

thanx

you can do it either way you want man. id personaly get the system all running and make sure it has no issues before sticking it into phase change...

peace perc,

yeah, run it on air first to rule out any issues with the board

Hey sorry to get off topic, but has anyone tried a winnie with TEC? I want to give it a shot. I'm looking for someone with a similar set up. 3200+ winnie, msi neo2, dual heatercore or good rad), mcw6002-64(or other block large enough to cover a pelt) please show your results and any other info to point me in the right direction. thanks! :)

Well if anyone is willing to telp me figure out my delta T for a 67w+ cpu@2000mhz o/ced to 2.65+ghz. my ambient temps are 25c and cpu during load is around 34c with the watercooling. so I need to figure out if I should go with 226w tec or 169w tec. - The Formula to Determine the Delta T
Delta T = (1 - (Heat Load/Max Cooling Power)) * Max Temp Difference

*) Delta T = The actual difference in temperature between the hot-side and the cold-side that you should experience in the real world.
*) Heat Load = The heat generated (in this case) by the processor measured in watts.
*) Max Cooling Power = Maximum TEC rating in watts. (e.g. a 221-watt TEC or a 80-watt TEC)
*) Max temp = TEC’s maximum temperature rating in degrees C (theoretical Delta T, a.k.a. Delta T max).

I need to know theoritical max temp difference? any ideas?

hi there,

just bought the K8N Neo2, flashed bios 1.41b, looks like all working now on vapochill lightspeed :-) but , hey whats this ? vcore only 1.55v +10% , shows me real 1.61v , ohh hell , now i have to wait for another bios which gives me more voltage :-) . i havent installed windows yet, might it be possible to raise the vcore via MSI core center or clockgen ? i've read that the older bios (1.37b or so) supports up to 1.9v.

thanx

I have the same situation. 3500+ Winchester and the bios only goes till 1.6v. But working great on a Prom, 2850mhz at 1.6v .. not bad.

Cool! 2850Mhz with 1.6v... daily use?

the 1.33, 1.35 and 1.36 bioses can go up to 1.75Vcore ;)
But not sure if they can run with prommies or vapo temps :( so better wait for a new bios to come up.
11-30-2004, 10:58 AM
gandalf027

CarNaby .. yup, daily use. It can bench (3dmark, superpi, etc) at 2920mhz. With a bit more voltage i can go to 3ghx for sure :)
11-30-2004, 01:28 PM

then go for it, we need more 3ghz AMD CPUs

Ok, CPU's week etc for those who can run fine under vapor please ;)
I might just plunge back in. Won't have problem with voltage as I already have v-core mod handy done.
11-30-2004, 02:32 PM
gandalf027

Jinu117 .. can you point me to the vcore mod please? A link or something.

Thanks

The week/stepping of the cpu is gona be tuff to get right now, need to take the prom out of the cpu.

Here you go.
vmod for K8N Neo2
Right here in this forum :)

One word of warning, do not use the percentage stuff. I will only cause headache if you turn on volt modding. (So, with volt modding, nothing matters other than stable bios really :P)
