Seems to have made a few changes. Tic-tac? Wanna add 4.0vdimm and make sure bank interleaving is still working in this?

- Latest 4.0 Vdimm Modded Bios

EnJoY's Xtreme Bandwidth/Xtreme Stability BH - UTT Settings:

Here are the mem timings I use for my BH6, and they do 265 with 3.5volts. Currently using dimms 1+3 with 4/15 tictac bios.
------------------CPU Settings ----------------------
LDT 3x
CPU Multi 10x
Vcore: 1.65
Chipset Volts: 1.7
AGP: Default
Vdimm: 3.5volts

If you get instability, you can turn the mas async latenices down from
7.0/5.0 to 8.0/6.0. You can also try turning down the 16x/6x to
8x/4x. Lastly, UTT especially may prefer Level 2 drive strength.

dfi makes a great job

Actually, many seem to agree that they've been very neglectful of the NF3 board since the NF4 was released. Oskar_Wu simply doesn't have enough time to perfect both it seems anymore. Hence, we NF3 users get half-***ed beta bios's every few months with broken features and bugs still left unfixed.

i would agree, though i've been using an unmodded verion of 4/15 since last monday, and it seems to be working pretty well. managed to hit 262mhz at 2.5-2-2-10 with a bunch of vcore to overcome the memory controller

though i too await a modded version of this bios.

How much vcore are you using? I notice you're using air cooling. So am I, a XP-90 on a 3400+ NC, and I can't get it stable past 255MHz 2.5-3-3-10 1T (2x512 TCCD) even when using 1.62 vcore. I'm afraid to go any higher on air.

[ozzimark]

i top out around 255 (curious eh?) with 1.55v, but with 1.8v (1.78 actual) i was able to get there.. i had the same exact settings both times, but with 1.55v, i used the 9x cpu multi and 1.8v i used 10x
that's with one stick though. with two, i have trouble getting past 240-245mhz in windows.

[EnJoY]

I just want tic-tac to see this so he can get excited about it and mod it for everyone haha. I'm using his modded 1/28 right now.

[tictac]

is this nf3 or nf4 ultra d bios ?

[conrad.maranan]

The link EnJoY posted is for the 754 nF3 board. Read the signatures of the people who posted replies on the linked thread.

EDIT: All posts that were nF4-related have been deleted to avoid confusion and possible user error(s).

I cant believe no one paid attention to this. Dont flash this BIOS to a NF4, you will be sorry!

Im going to try this out on my NF3 right now.

[i found nemo]

i think i already d/l'd this....on the 20th....so ticky...gunna make a modded bios??? i wish there was a way to force the multiplier higher lol

[EnJoY]

Lol...just read my title haha. Whatcha think btw tictac?

[isp]

So what does this fix? I'm using 3-31 right now, it's working fine...

So am i, but major no post probs.

Might go back to trust 10/15.

And i agree. DFI haven't actually released an offical BIOS update for the NF3 have they?

[EnJoY]

I still haven't tried it yet, I run my BH6 on 3.4volts for 260MHz, 24/7 so I need it modded before I can use it. Any testing reports on this from anyone yet? Any changes in mem bandwidth, etc?

[i found nemo]

no changes here only the 3.1 limited v.dimm and that other thing about cpu thermal shutdown...no increase in bandwidth or nothin'

[jiff]

Im rather pleased with it, board on its way out, even so best clock I have had priming now 260 1.5.2.2.5.
So with a new board 265 270 maybe

[isp]

Did it fix the problem with shutdowns over 60C?

dunno Im on water never get anywhere near that :worm:

[EnJoY]

Good to know Jiff. Have you tried enabling bank interleaving? It's a new option, it was first introduced in the January beta, and I've been using that. Nets me about 50mbps more bandwidth in memtest. How's my mobile doing btw? I miss it.

LoL she's in good hands
yeah I have it enabled, Can tell you extra I got never looked
I missed delivery of my new board When I get that hopefully I should be able to push the chip a tad more

[EnJoY]

Take her to 2.9 and beyond! She can do it, I've seen it. You're using water on her right? If so, up to around 1.8-1.85vcore should be fine for her.

Thats the plan, when the new board comes and IF my rams lets me

Tic-tac? Wanna add 4.0vdimm and make sure bank interleaving is still working in this?

PM me your email

[EnJoY]

PM sent. Thanks in advance.

I'll test whatever tic-tac sends me and post here with my results once I have them.
