Epox 9nda3+ Test(ddr670 Pass!!!)

[buff]

looks good......

any idea about the Vdimm mod?
Is it possible to damage anything giving the ram 3.5Vdimm?
and is it possible to use an SMD grabber?

[Zebo]

Well I think this is it for me. I can't run 1T at bus speed so I'm using 166 mem setting. I'm pretty happy for a $145 chip and $90 board. Not as good as old days with $44 tbreds but that's alright.

[okra]

looks nice, thanks!

I just ordered my 9NDA3J from mwave and a 3200+ from zipzoomfly. CPU will be here monday / tuesday but the mobo wont arrive until wenesday. I still wont be able to play with the new toys until christmas. =[

[Zebo]

here is a new unofficial beta bios md34b25

Can you instruct me how to install this? I'm going to try it on the budget "J" board.

I can't run 1T at highFSB you think this will help?

Thanks

awsome results it was what i was hoping for i think your 1T prob is due to your ram i know you probably said it already but what ram are you using?

I am using 2x512 PQI with samsung TCCD. Got them real cheap from newegg ($222) awhile back. They should run 1T at 290 with 3-4-3 no? Anyway I have to run them at 2T 3-4-3@290 or alternativly 1t 2.5-3-3 using the 166 mem setting giving me 240Mhz...


always fail mem test #6 any higher
and I'm chicken to try hardmodding my motherboard for more volts like those above me...

[confuzzedintel]

i dont think its a volt issue alot of the 2x512 setups have a hard time with high speeds if you have a 256 TCCD stick of ram laying arround you might want to give that a try

[ruff97]

i just get me a other 9NDA3+ and the one i get is ver2.1 and i also get me a 3200. on your frist pic (windwithme) it show the volt. from 0.05 to 0.20v then is the some on my ver1. but know on my ver 2.1 i get a lot move to choose from it (0.5-0.70 volt) have the some bios but it do not show the some volt i will take a pic later right now i an test it



[QUOTE=windwithme]to esoteradactyl:
thanks

Want BIOS diagram CPU voltage, preserves and adds 0.5V, it is that 1.45V take-offs to be basic

[Zebo]

hey I think budget J has higher vcore available? up +.35 take a look

[jlccarv]

Sounds like you have the old BIOS revision there, ruff97...

Zebo, are you running your sticks in dimm slots 1 and 3? And yeah, those are the hidden BIOS vcore options in the 9NDA3 BIOS, looks like it is the default on the j board... What revision is your board Zebo?

[Zebo]

Any extra vdimm on the version 2.1?

Zebo, are you running your sticks in dimm slots 1 and 3?

3 and 4 per you all's advice on other board

[Zebo]

rev2

[jlccarv]

revision 2.1?

[Zebo]

It says rev 2.x on the box. where should I be placing memory?

[jlccarv]

look at the lower left corner of the board, the revision number should be printed there...

Try your memory in dimm slots 1 and 2, as your revision board maybe different to our revision 1.0's...

[Zebo]

I tried 1 and 2 and failed even at default speeds and less even 290FSB memsetting 133 = 192 and even failed 3-3-3 3 and 4 definity the way to go.


I can't see in lower left sorry. too much cables and pump waterlines and stuff.

[jlccarv]

OK, so even on revision 2.x, dimm slots 1 and 2 are still totally stuffed when using 2x512MB modules... great

And the voltage monitoring of 3.3v and 12v is still absent!

[confuzzedintel]

so that means the vcore can be adjusted to 1.8V on the j?

[Zebo]

That would depend on the chip I'd imagine...

130nm 1.5 + .35 = 1.85

90nm 1.4 + .35 = 1.75

i'm not crazy enough to try it:P

[jlccarv]

so that means the vcore can be adjusted to 1.8V on the j?

Either that... or its available to all 2.x revision boards.

Its potenially available to all boards, as it is just a hidden menu in the 9NDA's BIOS. It just needs someone to mod a BIOS and test it...

[confuzzedintel]

wow thats a lot better voltage then i thought so now the only downside is the DDR voltage prob but if you have good tccd it wont be a prob it does 2.85 right? because that is what gskill and adata are rated for and those are the brands im looking to get.

[jlccarv]

Dude, the biggest downside is this boards inability to run 2x512MB sticks in dimm slots 1 and 2. TCCD seems to be affected quite badly, even when using dimm slots 3 and 4, according to Zebo's reports...

[Zebo]

Get ballistix PC3200 so I know if i should sell this TCCD.

[buff]

whats the highest HTT 3d stable?
