Athlon64 3500+ AM2 on DFI hit HTT 433MHz - prime stable! : SLI modded UPDATE!

[spin 9]

I just set the new AM2 system.

DFI INFINITY NF ULTRAII-M2 (nForce 4 Ultra) no mod
AMD Athlon64 3500+ (AM2) Orleans
Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C3
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT
Enermax Liberty 620W

Cooler: GIGABYTE G-Power Pro

This motherboard is cool! I can set the HTT up to 433MHz prime stable.
(The max in BIOS is 450 MHz but no success )

Pi 32M passed !

looks like oc'ing am2 gonna be as easy as s939 - point for AMD
good test - now kick that CPU to the limits

[spin 9]

Max VCORE in BIOS is fantastic - 1.850 V !! (I used only 1.350 for this test)
Max VDDR is 2.5V (2.4V is used)
Max VChipset is 1.8V (1.6V is used)
Max VHTT is 1.35V (1.35V is used of course)

[spin 9]

Here is the rig, simply the best.

[hey]

good htt but lets see some max mhz pi,validation..

VChipset higher doesn't make a difference?
Nice voltage options on this board, I specially like 1.85V Vcore Not even possible on my Gigabyte S939 :/

good htt but lets see some max mhz pi,validation..

Max MHz that I can go with air-cooled (GIGABYTE G-Power, the only AM2 air-cooler compatible I have) is around 2.9GHz

Here is the CPU-Z Validation.

already tried at 3GHz, stucked at winXP welcome screen

And here is the pi results of 2.9GHz

Nice job!! &very attractive mobo!!

[3oh6]

very nice setup and that board looks to be killer!

did you buy the board retail?
how much was the cost?

thanx for sharing and keep the information coming, my interest is certianly peaked with this board.

[starostise]

that's sweet.

htt @ 433 aircooled signify that this chip is not too coldbugged.
in general the new 90nm amd chip have 370-380-390 max htt aircooled

can you give the stepping of this cpu?

[MONITERVN]

I want known why Ram DDR2 with > 2Gb let setting @2T . not setting 1T ?
not stable ? thanks sorry I type english not good

DFI AM2 !!!

I don't know why no one noticed. There are NO DFI Am2 boards in NA atm. Thats a first look at the board.

Though the Epox nf4 ultra has four phase power...:



...the DFI, as always, has better placement of components :

3 PCIe, controlling the bus width via a bunch of jumpers.

nF4 Ultra shot,

AFAIK, can't modify to SLI supported

[WeStSiDePLaYa]

just wait to the lanparty version comes out! wooo

too bad that infinity only have 3 phase power.

[hipogtr]

Thanx for all the pics. Top stufff.

First, get a better chipset heatsink and then make 450MHz happen. Stable of course.

Second, every Nforce4 chipset is moddable to SLI. There's just a kind of epoxy on the contacts. You can scrap the epoxy off and then make the connection.

Thank you for your suggestions, I will try again with better cooling solution.

[spin 9]

Good news...

I try to mod this board to SLI capable, using the same trick as LANParty nF4 Series (socket 939).

Take a look!

[spin 9]

Everything seems to be OK.

BIOS identifies the chipset as nForce 4 SLI !!

A pair of GeForce 7600 GT is operating
