DFI Infinity 965-S Tests (535 FSB 1:1)

**GripS** · 06-05-2007, 01:28 PM

I should be getting this board delivered tomorrow. Kinda worried i'm gonna have all sorts of issues with it seeing so many people having problems with PSU's and RAM. DFI motherboards have always been known to be picky but this is getting ridiculous. I will post my results tomorrow evening.

Good luck

I read somewhere that this board has trouble with SilverStone PSU's. But I've been using a SilverStone ST60F since the day i got this board and it's been fine as! rock solid =P

im sorry but where did you guys learn anything about thermal paste.

ceramique is NOT as good as Silver.. NOT as good.

dont sit here and tell someone Silver "isnt safe". infact ceramique is not as good.

what the heck,, are you guys being sarcastic, cuz if your not please, stop telling someone this kind of stuff cuz your wrong.

ceramique is the same garbage white toothpaste junk that everyone else uses if they dont use the rubber pad.
its junk.

Well the sticky in the liquid cooling section would beg to differ.

That's all I got to say.

Since when did this turn into a thermal compound thread?

**BRiT** · 06-05-2007, 07:36 PM

I decided to return the DFI board I had after it simply refused to work at all (random reboots and lockups when installing the OS) with my Silverstone Strider. I've tried all sorts of possibly imaginable combination of cables and power configuration and settings you could imagine.

The replacement board, the Abit QuadGT is doing mighty fine with the exact same equipment.

**spookz** · 06-05-2007, 10:32 PM

Does anyone know if the HR-09's will fit onto the mosfets of this board??

**GripS** · 06-07-2007, 08:04 AM

Got the parts yesterday and put it together last night. Installed windows without a hitch and no whine noise to speak of(it's at stock now though). System powered on the first time(used 8 pin CPU power) and no issues thus far with my OCZ 520watt Powerstream. More results when i have time to play with it. I must say that at 2.13ghz and RAM only running at 667mhz the system is a LOT snappier then my AMD setup.

Got this board a few days ago and tried it with a 4300 and many different kinds of memory. I couldn't do anything with it. Couldn't oc it much and the memory wasn't working worth a flip.

Made the little xs fs sign up and was going to sell it and try something else. It sat there last night and I didn't list it. Today I left work early for a long weekend and thought I would give it one last try. I didn't want to take the 6600 I had in another rig out because the hsf is a pain to put back on. I did though and it paid off. Just a quick try at 3500 and four sticks of ram. The 4 sticks is the most important thing to me as I bought a lot of this good cheap ram and would rather buy a mb to use it then different ram for the mb. Haven't tried any higher but am happy it will do at least this after reading some about the board.

Why does the Vcore not read right in SG or SF?

When u were having all your troubles were u using the 4:5 divider? 4:5 requires a significant increase in nb voltage vs 1:1 or 2:3.

**korby** · 06-09-2007, 03:01 AM

Well, this is kinda crappy. HOW THE HELL can this board be incompatible with my MOUSE (A4Tech SWOP-45) when used on PS2?

Works fine on USB.

**johnsally** · 06-09-2007, 03:25 AM

how to get this board to boot 1:1? cpu pe2160

**Nazu** · 06-09-2007, 03:46 AM

I was thinking that does this mobo support E2160 or do I have to update the bios? I hope it works cos I have no other cpu

**johnsally** · 06-09-2007, 04:07 AM

2160 run 3:4 cannot run 1:1 maybe with 266 mod?

**loserkids** · 06-09-2007, 06:27 AM

i try with 2140 too and 1:1 is not avaible

**dogsx2** · 06-09-2007, 06:37 AM

That's one of the problems I had with a 4300 before changing to a 6600. Looks like a bezel mod is in order.

**johnsally** · 06-10-2007, 03:35 AM

any chance for oskar i believe that is his name, to make bios to support e2160 for 1:1 memory?

**ziddey** · 06-10-2007, 07:22 AM

I don't think there is 1:1 in 200strap. Shouldn't you be able to switch to 266strap and reboot? Then the 533/667/800 changes accordingly.

**RealTelstar** · 06-10-2007, 01:04 PM

They are preparing a new beta bios

**Florent** · 06-10-2007, 01:33 PM

Very good news

Hopefully it will come very soon and not drag on. I had an Abit quad and now have this board. I think the quad was better. The problem with this mb is now that the new chip set is out how much time and effort will be put into this board?
