The AN8 doesnt like TCCD at all. I built one for my friend thinking TCCD would be perfect. It froze in windows and then restarted and i had to clear cmos everytime after that. Switched in some Corsair Valueram and running smooth, but still cant get 1T to work from the bios though.
i was initially disappointed when i saw DDR433.......but the link was telling me another AWESOME story....DDR533....you might wanna change your post there....that is just EXCELLENT.....DFI we have a board now which is properly using the voltage and will probably not ever have problems with blowing chipsets.....
ONE THING I NEED TO CHECK......the superpi seems a bit high....are you using 2T or something

BEFORE YOU DO ALL THIS WIPE THE DRIVE AND DO A CLEAN INSTALL....can't remember if it was you or another guy using old P4 windows with new mobo...didn't think that was possible but anyway
Lower your multiplier to 9Quote:

yeah much better than my rant
Here are couple more Voltage and memory timing setting from forumer to run TCCD at 270MHz

I got to 260 MHz with the TCCD but at about 270 I had trouble so I will try that :toast:
One more so long.
lol... your attachment showing max HTT 371MHz :clap:Quote:

packed it up? your sending it back?
no not sending it back.
Thank you for the settings tictac. I used them as per your pics and I just cannot get 300 MHz even with LDT of 3.
My highest is 290 MHz.
awesome results at 1T as well
i have a few suggestions to reach and pass 300FSB...i didn't even ask what TCCD modules you have....if EB i am surprised they reach 290........i am speaking from Corsair 4400C25 experience and Gskill i've seen in action
change TRAS to 7 or 8 and TRP to 4.....
use 256clk for Idle Cycle Limit........and Disable Dynamic Idle Cycle Time
Max Async Latency is nice and tight.....at 7 but you can push it higher to loosen if necessary....8/9
that should push you to 300+
if you get there try this:
tighten TRC and TRFC........12/14 or 14/16 or so(this one could make it harder to reach 300+ but will get better bandwidth)
BTW.....V0.60 beta tweaker shows a few more options...you should use that as well to show what your drive strength is
Great result so far :fact:

So far this whole "upgrade" to PCI-X from AGP has been a nightmare for me, I am hoping to find a way to keep my current OS intact without formatting b/c I have wayyyyy too much data to just format the damn drive. I may end up building a whole new machine by the time I'm done :(
partition it off man...keep 15GB for OS and rest of data...that's what i do so i can format and ghost all i like
you just started with Abit....it takes time...trust me i slaved for freaking DFI so i can tell you from my experience you will need patience

Thanks for the tips dinos22, but to be honest I'm not going to bother trying to my PQI Turbo TCCD running at 300 MHz if it means less than 3-3-3. The same memory did 300 Mhz on both my DFI NF3 Socket 754 and MSI K8N Neo 2 with just using 3-3-3. 266 MHz @ 2-2-2-5 is good enough for me :D
Thanks for the settings tictac, I shall mention your name when I do my liitle article on the board :toast:
also try OCing with dividers......let us know how that goes.....you guys should be getting some kickback from Abit for great work so far and going out of your way to test things out......good on you......
sheik don't lower the main timings (i.e. 2.5-4-3-7-1T) just do the other settings and you should reach higher FSB with PQI....BTW those PQI are clocking real high man :woot:
also whatever happened to Lowdog the first owner....from Down UNder.....no results mate

Here is my review of this board.
Please be gentle. I'm not a Pro :rolleyes:
http://www.net-forums.net/forums/Abi...rd-t21821.html
that board can go higher than 371 :P if its anything like the first fatality.Quote:

wow nice 385
whats the highest HTT the dfi nf4 got?
Ok, i got my board up and going and reinstalled windows :slap:
The bad news is I cannot get the OC results I was getting on my K8N Neo 2 which is kind of sad. 300 HTT=results back into safe mode and anything over 250 FSB results in graphical corruption or random reboots in windows. I set my memory to 333 and 266 speeds so its not the ram causing the issue.
I got 2 errors:
One was a usb blue screen, the other was an atapi.sys error so I really don't think I am using a right setting to lock the board. Can anyone tell me how to make sure the board is indeed locked and what in the bios I need to change?
I am feeding the ram 3.0v with 1.50 VTT (only did this once, usually 2.80V) and the processor is 1.62 b/c it overvolts a tad :woot:
Can anyone suggest some tight ram timings for my PC3700 OCZ Rev3.0 Gold series once I get this HTT figured out? Also, is the DDR400 the 1:1 lock? I noticed if I go over 200 HTT my ram does not increase with it. Do you have to use the other DDR such as DDR500 in order to increase the ram speed? I tried auto, spd, and manual none seem to follow the HTT? Pretty interesting you *CAN* set the ram Mhz faster then your FSB. :D
Thanks for the help guys. I am going crazy trying to figure out the PCI lock. :nono:
better luck next time
bios 14 is out. Anyone trying that one out yet?
