will do, thx man

what about caps that are 1200uF and 16v?

/edit can i go with 2200uF@16v caps or do i need to go higheron the volts

i have 512x1 CMX-512-3200C2PT, what my settings should be

my fsb current 166mhz 1:1
T(RC)
T(RFC)
Super Bypass
Sync mode memory bypass
Data scanvenged Rate

what settings should i put with 166 mhz and what settings with 200mhz (going to oc'd)

[quarantaine]

some great info you gathered there!!

will try some mods when i got the time.

I love the color-coded "which mosfets/chips do you need to sink" diagrams. Such great work, we really appreciate it.

Only question I have, the CMOS battery is considered a step 2 cooling area? -_-

Hmmm yes when you overclocking like me you need to cool the battery also..it´s geting so so hot

You got a point there lolz

hey LV, about these "NF2 Drivers:Morpeus Remix Extreme video drivers".. on this page, is the 2nd link the one I want to get:

http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=39866

how do they perform to the regular nvidia 3.13 drivers? they are 100% stable on your system right? what service pack should I get for win2k, and are they any other OS tweaks for win2k that u know of??

Read faq many times to you get it k

[afireinside]

Awesome guide man you rule!

Question:
theres 2 different VDD and VDIMM mods. Can I solder to either point?

Theres only one vdd mod and one vdimn mod.

You must have been thinking the 2 voltage measuring point for the vdd and vdimn were different mods.

[afireinside]

Well in his pic which is mod and which is voltage checkpoint?

VDD MODD is vdd modd
VDIMM MODD is vdimm modd

look @ pic one more time or more then you get it.

Flyinghamster:

Read my faq one more time plz if you dont find it read one more time plz....


Asio o don´t know.. but it give me some more stability @ higher fsb.

[FlyingHamster]

found it. lol srry bout that.

::slaps self on head::

what about the service pack? just get the latest? is it SP4?

SP2 is said to be fastest. I found it googling, on a few open http servers that had it backed up.
Or go here WIN2K SP2

[sjohnson]

Thanks Poki, I must have been using the wrong keywords in my google searching and have spent HOURS trying to find it on MS own site.

[st0nedpenguin]

Microsoft's site is just designed not to let you get to the files you want, I have wasted many an hour on there just looking for that one last file.

Lastviking's Alpha BIOS "how-to" for those with boards that don't cooperate after flashing normally. I know it's around the forums but thought it should go into the sticky thread

2-17 alpha"fix so it works"
I had same problem like you .. but i found a cure for it .. use 1-31 or 1-21 bios first....Set up your best settings..vcore and all other settings...Save it in the bios "backup settings" . Set it to stock settings and flash to alpha 2-17.D01 . Load saved settings..from 1-31 bios...the board will maybe not post after that..press the reset button and the board will post...now you can change settings in bios "it worked for me but i don´t know if it works for you"

The new settings in alpha bios...

Fastest and highest fsb settings...

It´s a killer board but it has some bugs in the alpha bios..but it´s only alpha

Did anyone have noticed poor write performance in a Raid 0 arrary with the DFI LP NFII UltraB and the Infinity?

I have read about this issue many times and I'm hoping to find a solution.

OMG YES, my 2 80GB SEAGATE SATA drives in Raid 0 barely outperform my single 120GB WD PATA. i tried different sil sata raid drivers and different nf2 drivers, kinda lamoid.

[bigZ]

great FAQ... couple of questions though...

I'm looking at fully modding my Infinity

have I got the right list of VRs for the various mods?

vCore - 50k
vDrop - 50k
vSense - 50k
vDD - 100k to use from >65k
vDIMM - 200k (or can I get away with a 100k? if so what would be the lowest voltage I can run?)

vCore overcurrent - can I use fixed resistors? if so what would be the best size to use? I'm looking for about 2.1v vCore if that helps

Finally, the cap mod - are they being wired in parallel to the existing caps?

Cheers

[Asio]

I think I'm overlooking something but it just wont come to mind.
My infinity just arived. I formated C:/ for a clean install of winXPpro. I can do this by booting of the cd rom and it installs the files needed to actually begin the windows install. After the pc reboot to do just that i get the message "press buton to boot of cd" so I keep my hand of the keybo and then recieve the message "error while loading os" in dutch (so translation could be a little dif).

Same with only HHD as boot device ...
Its a maxtor hdd contected to the prime IDE. I even try using the IDE cable that came with the board.

[texuspete00]

I didn't read the whole thread but I do want to first say thanks to lastviking of course, but to back up his suggestion to try different drivers. I am going to give the one he listed a shot but I have been using a lot remixes and they are better. On the Nvidia side only the new drivers have no sound issues for me but performance is better on the older drivers. I guess you could remix them yourself but for the less adventurous, these are a must.
