DFI looks to have a winner here.

ok i got it thx but this is showing that i cant use the memtest feature for some reason. it just reboots at any clock when it is set to on.

[Godmyster]

Anybody have this board with a DVD-ROM Plextor?!?!?!! Urgente!!

my friend, i have DFI NF3 whith Plextor dvdrom (116A revision A3)

I had the same problem with it. At first it worked flawlessly, but all of a sudden it started doing the same as is it for you. I could run it but as soon as I changed ANYTHING in BIOS it would stop working. It's okay with me, since OCZ put out their version of memtest I have been using that.

[reject]

you have to "load optimzed defaults" then reset your oc choices. then memtest works

[ToastedToad]

Yeh but for me it only works until I change something. Can be as simple as boot order. Any changes make memtest not run, for me.

A common misconception - lower tras means better pwerformance. It's not actaully a latency as you would normally think of a latency in that way.

The best performing value varies from chipset to chipset; and from cas latency (tcl) to tcl. For example, on nForce3, at cas2, the best performing tras value is 10. At cas 1.5, it's 7(or 0 works in this case as well).

Woah... this is much, much worse than [H] in terms of the sheer number of people, that is.. in 30 seconds, 10 replies

Edit: doh, nvm stupid upside-down board arrangement. Curses.

[STEvil]

Actually it really depends on what you are going for: latency, unbuffered bandwidth, buffered bandwidth, or 3dmark points.

Tras of 13 produces some interesting results btw

[reject]

unduffered band and 3dmarks are the ones important

Can someone tell me where to measure VDimm on this board please?

I have a feeling my 3.4v setting is giving around 3.32v under memtest load...

I measure VDIMM from Q38 mosfet's right leg (upper leg on this photo) Photo

STEvil: what do you mean, from mosfet with 5 legs right up from IDE FDD? Photo

[STEvil]

Yes, the mosfet with 5 legs is the correct one. Measure on the side closest to the brown capacitor (backside of the mosfet) since then you dont have to touch any of the legs.

If Q38 works too then I see no problem using it..

[Rabbi_NZ]

will try Q38 tonight.... that other MOSFET seems to overvolt.... maybe my board jus overvolts, I dont know, but at 3.3v setting I sit at 3.35v.

[dutchman.pt]

If someone could post a picture with all voltage measurement points and Vdmods for this board it would be great.

[LSANTHRAX]

I just set up my dfi and was wondering how off the motherboards temp sensors usually are?

[Perc]

has anyone noticed that on this mb you can set the LDT setting to auto and not have to touch it during ocing? i have my ldt set to auto and im at 290x10 1:1 am i the only one or have any of you tired this??

thx perc,

thx perc,

I always set LDT ratio to AUTO during overclocking HTT!

hi guys

got a big problem with the DFI board now the booster works fine also my kingston bh-5 2x256Mb but....

i got the new modded bios with 4.0V but if i set the booster to 3,9-4,0 which is actually 3,8Volt it wouldnt boot anymore and i ve to turn off/on psu.

i can do 280 2-3-2-5 but its very unstable 275 2-2-2-5 is all time well but on 280 the board makes me troubles i think...

also what ram would ya prefer if ur ocing on the dfi lanparty ut now?

i would like such sticks 2x512 2,5-3(4)-3(4)-5(-10) @ 300 1:1

If I remember correctly, the board will not boot anything more than v3.6....I can't remember for sure though.

[Klisp]

Anyone knows if OCZ VX works good on this board ?

[STEvil]

no, you just need to have your +3.3v rail high enough (0.2v above vdimm).

KLISP - I have had mine to 260mhz 2-2-2-10 on the board.

Oppainter said his wouldn't boot above 3.6Vdimm, he had to turn vdimm down below 3.6V boot up and then adjust Vdimm again for higher Vdimm.

[ugp]

Yeah that is what I thought i remember hearing about it. Right on Zeus.

[andL64]

in my case its also so.... but still got great results 280 1:1 @ 1,5-2-2-0
