The DFI 965-s DARK wait thread.

you're my hero. i'm glad i stayed up through the night. i'll even say i love you man


edit: to those talking about cold boot and the likes, hmm.. if so, it'd be great. I read from asus that the double booting is to trigger the southbridge or something along those lines. And I've found on my p5b vanilla that it can do 500fsb fine at 1333strap, but most of the time, it won't boot up, unless after a failure, I hold the power button to turn it off, wait 5 seconds, and try again, simulating a false boot. Works everytime. But it'd be great if this could do it without even needing to double boot.

Also, this thing is on 1066 strap, which I don't need to say is absolutely impeccable. Honestly, I'd rather 400fsb on 1066 strap than 1333 strap at 500. You should see the latencies and cycles on ram access with mbench. I think it speaks for itself.

It would make this even greater if there's the ability to change vdimm / vcore in windows, like the ds3. Although I absolutely loathe that board, easytune is great in that regard. And also, I'm hoping for clockgen support. Now, I'll say that I don't do changes in windows normally, but in the experimentation phase, it's a whole hell of a lot easier to do testing from within windows rather than setting in bios, booting, testing. Even if it means I crash out of windows a lot.

And you do know you can pinmod a fsb266 chip to be 333, and it will use 1333 strap. Also, you can pinmod a 333 chip to be 266 and be 1066 strap.. For this board anyways.

hmm I was one of the first to test the pinmod, so I do know about it. But you do state a brilliant point. It may or may not be the cause, if it's about the board not knowing when the change strap.

But about the pinmodding to 1066 to use that strap, it doesn't hold true past 400fsb, which is the problem I'm having.
