I hope someone with answer this question because I am stuck at 210fsb and also was stuck at suck a disappoing speed on my NF7-S v2. Where can I measure the 3.3v rail and 12v rails (maybe 5v too) on the motherboard. The molex reading reports higher than spec, but I must have a problem somewhere. This speed (210fsb) is achieved with 1.7vdd and 2.8vdimm. I want to measure Vio/3.3v rail. I can chuck 3.3v at the memory and it doesn't help. I got bh-5 and even got it heatsinked up like a gooden with 120mm fan on the memory. The vdimm was 3.35 when maxed but even with this 215fsb is not stable!

I am asking where to measure because of the readings from the winbond hardware monitor. I got a 550w enermax so it should be up to the job if I can verify/mod it.

On the Vdd chip the leg above the Vdd point I have been told should be 5v but mine is 4.13v while my molex are 5.13v can anyone verify this point on their own board plz?

I have seen 2 different versions of the Vdd and Vdimm mods for the Infinity.

One says use 200K VR, other says 100K for Vdimm. One says 50k VR and other says 100K sset to 65K VR. for Vdd. I dont care to waste 2 of my 100K VRs if I dont have to. Any clarification would be great.

It don't like duel channel (so its going back) but I am now at 235fsb 1 * 256Mb with BH-5 2 2 2 2 11 3.1v, and this is just the first setting I tried after testing my 2 * 512Mb mushkin lv2 - good for 225fsb 3.1v 2.5 2 2 2 11, single channel.

I apologize if someone already answered this, but why are there two diff downloads for the 2/17 bios for both the LP-B and Infinity? are they different?

There are different SIP Tables in the bios, thats the difference..

you should read about it here - http://forums.amdmb.com/showthread.p...hreadid=298355

I used the 200k for my vdimn mod and it works great. Not sure about the vdd mod though.

I killed my LanParty after flashing bios!!! LOL
Im thinking of buying a LanParty or Infinity!!!
But im steeal thinking of LanParty!!

[shimmishim]

what's the max vcore on this board?

also... can you use a 10k instead of a 50K for the vdd mod?

I measured the pot after setting vdd to 2,2V and I had 6,7k...

[Highland3r]

Finally flashed to 1/21 all hail the bios saviour saved my guts lol!

The file linked to in this sticky didnt wanna flash though, kept :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing up right at the end.... May have bin summit I was doing wrong though....

[megatron]

AFAIK 1/31 is 1/21 with more options. Its not maxed out with options, it doesn't have .025v increments for vcore even.

wut do u guys run your AGP frequency at when overclocked? do u find that there is perhaps a "sweetspot"?

80MHz

thnx SAE. is that safe for air cooling? would that heat up/damage anything?

No, not that I know. You would notice if the card could not take it. The card locks up in windows. But I can go 80MHz totally stable.

It does not matter if it's on air

ok, thnx SAE. do u run any PCI cards? do u have any specific disabled in the bios??

I have a pci raid controller

Disabled? Whut specific???

I meant to say anyTHING disabled. like do u have usb, firewire, or any of that other stuff disabled for improved performance.

PS- nice avatar. great movie.

Yea. Everything not need is disabled. Com1, LPT1, hdd2, sata, fw, usb... but sometimes I enable usb for my joystick (works fine)

TY for avatar. I like it very much, I like them both very much.

You can always LYAO watching their films

i apologize for asking this especialy if it's already been answered...

i have an ultra infinity and vdimm mod in place.... i can run my bh-5's at 240 mhz with 2-2-2-11 timings @ 3.35 volts (not the best)... but still with CPC on...

at what point will i have to turn cpc off? i wanna shoot for 260 mhz or possibly 270 with 3.6+ volts.... will i have to turn cpc off and should i change fsb in windows using clockgen or through the bios?

thanks!

Hi

You'll have to urn APIC off for fsbs higher than 260MHz! In most cases high vdimm voltages won't help anyway... heat is the limiting factor. CPC mainly helps double sided dimm users to get higher. Dunno if it does sth for ya.

You should definately cool your mobo well in order to reach high fsbs... :thumbsup:

I wouldn't turn off CPC off to get higher FSBs. The performance drop will be huge. Increasing the FSB to what you've stated isn't going to be enough to gain perfomance by turning off CPC.

http://www.aoaforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23998

you'll need around 275~ 280fsb CPC Off to break even at 240fsb CPC On.

Two reasons why that's not recommended:
- Memory will not likely be able to handle it.
- it's not going to be reliable for everyday run.

quick question SAE, where exactly in the bios is all that stuff (besides usb and fw) like hdd2, sata, com1, etc. thnx...

In the peripherals section in bios... I disabled the second ide channel, then those com ports, sata is in the cpu/fsb menu when U scroll down, under firewire and lan (why do I always forget the exact names, I am so often setting up the bios - nearly every new reboot )

[FlyingHamster]

ok, thanks alot.
