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

[awhir]

i have taken the mobo out of the case but still no go (get the same beep)

anyone know what could be the problem?

[ent]

+1 here...happens to me...went from 328 bios to 703..
today i reflashed the 424 , so let see how it goes...

Any progress with new bios? Today I get new RAM kit and still cant go over 2.2V

awhir >> try to pull out your cmos battery for few mins, check if your NB core isnt damaged.

Did anyone had a problem with higher vdimm=worse OC?

I have the same problem. Latest official BIOS, when I set 2.2-2.3 VDIMM I get Memtest errors @ test #5, with SuperTalent 2x1GB DDR2 800 4-4-3-8 2.2V.
I'm running 3.62Ghz, DDR2 906 4-4-4-12 2.0V
Can't get it stable @ FSB500... I don't know what happens... it posts perfectly but it never start booting up.

Config:
E6420 "ES"
DFI P965-S
2x1GB SuperTalent DDR2 800 4-4-3-8
TR Ultra 120 Extreme

I hate the Vdrop of this motherboard... is there any vmod?

[ent]

I think I solve my problem after 2 weeks of fight with this mobo. Today I set voltages:

CPU: +150mV
VTT: 1.425 V
vDIMM: 2.4 V
vNB: 1.6 V
vsb: 1.5V
2nd vsb: 1.05V

vNB must be set to 1.6 to work with vtt=1.425 and vtt=1.425 is needed probally for higher vDimm.

Didn't I say that Vtt is the key

Ent i'm more stable with the 424 bios...but now i can boot 6x515 1:1...with 703...would not get into windows...

i want to change my ram too...these ballistix are not doing well...they scale well 2:3 cas 5..but 1:1 cas 4..needs a lot of volts...

to open more vtt options you just have to raise the sb voltage...

yotomeczek what are your bios settings? i saw you hit 555 over at ocx...

[Monstru]

What is the higher FSB that anyone got with this board?

hi guys was just cheaking if my newly bought ocz fan cooler whould fit on my man i think it may of hit of my hr-05 nb cooler.

when i looked up the screen was white so i restarted,the mobo made a strange beep,
;
here is the beep it makes :http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...t=CIMG1441.flv

i have cheaked the ram -gfx -replaced the nb heatsink.help with beep code error

i cant thnik of anything else that will be casuing this.any ideas welcome

Well, the link doesn't work so I don't know what the beep is. If it's a single long beep it indicates DRAM error. The other one is video error code that is one long keep and three short
beeps. Can anybody help me get past 9x376? At 3.4GHz my hd's seem to crazy and at the boot I get a message that some windows file is corrupted or missing. I have managed to get the comp booting at 3.4GHz to desktop but only thing that I see is the wallpaper and the taskbar or the icons are not loading up (=harddrive going crazy?). Works fine at 3.3GHz and is 10h Orthos small fft's+3Dmark05&06 stable. I tried upping the nb and sb voltages bit but they didn't seem to have any affect. pci-e bus is set to 100MHz and spread spectrum is disabled. Power saving features shouldn't have anything to do with this so I have them enabled. Vcore is upped three notches from bios and vdimm is at 2.1v. Any advice is welcome

What's the mem's divider ?

[Nazu]

4:5=667MHz. Nb strap is on default.

[yotomeczek]

4:5=667MHz. Nb strap is on default.

4:5 is hard on this board (need high Vmch, Vtt) ... my best is about 395fsb with 4:5
Try 1:1 and find max fsb (Vtt helps a lot)

[ent]

Didn't I say that Vtt is the key

Vtt + high enough VNB

Ent i'm more stable with the 424 bios...but now i can boot 6x515 1:1...with 703...would not get into windows...

I got it stable at 500 with 424 bios, but this is almost the limit of my CPU (about 503), so Im quite happy with it

[Nazu]

Thanks man! It helped, I'm running Orthos now @ 3.4GHz.

nice ,Ent if you want to open more vtt options just raise the vsb

[ent]

Ent if you want to open more vtt options just raise the vsb

I know, but right now I dont need more vtt , today I will try to get some nice RAM clocks with my new sticks on this mobo

[Nazu]

How much can I raise the VTT voltage? I'm using the 1:1 divider and it's 10h Orthos stable and the temps are ok.

[awhir]

hi i am running raid atm.today when i got home my pc was hannging in the middle of a "bad boot error" said the way to fix this was by insirting ur vita cd and doing a reapir but my problem is the when i have raid enabled my bois will not boot the cd but go straight to the error i get when trying to boot windows.

when i plug out the 2 hdds and the bios raid program cant find them it auttomaticly boots the cd then but that doesent help as i cant reapir my windows.

i have cd first in my boot order but i dont know why it wont boot the cd when it can see my 2 harddrives.

is there a bois seeting that can fix this can some1 please help.

1,5V is save 100% (Intel spec)

You don´t need 1.5v VTT, look at my SS, 1.45v it´s OK for 530Mhz

Some thoughts about this board...We have 2 P965-S and one simple (non S) version. From personal experience I found out that the S version gets a little bit hotter. The Non-S version stays really cool (NB and SB heatsinks) but the S versions sometimes needs additional cooling. The NB and SB heatsinks get very hot.

Another thing that I have noticed with this board is that it really doesn't like quads. We had an Q6600 3DM2005 stable at 3600Mhz on a different board, but we couldn't get it past 3015Mhz on this board.

Didn't have too much trouble with my B3

3.6 Ghz 32 Mb Pi 3-3-3-10 DDR2-800 1.43v

3.6 Ghz 32Mb Pi 4-3-3-9 DDR2-800 1.43v

3.6 Ghz 32 Mb Pi 5-5-5-15 DDR2-1200 1.43v


12 + Hours Prime 3.3Ghz 1.4vcore 1.36vdroop

[Monstru]

Well....I am really curious how many P965 owners managed to get a quad working like that on their board. For the record, what bios version did you used?

[dogsx2]

I didn't have any luck with a B3 or G0. I have never thought it is a great mb. I hate that you have to use 1:1 on memory. I hate the memory testing when posting.

There are too many users who have had trouble with quad to say this is a good quad mb.
