Yeah... i oso used MantaRays XT 2T, merlin 1T. 2T do gave higher fsb, but lower bandwidth (263 at 1:1 with my xp-M ). merlin... bsod on me. Taipan do d best. no bsod, prime n superpi 32m stable.

heheh... yeah burn it... just dun put it under fire ..... ok la..... hehehhe..... cooling... no need la... i dun think 2.9v need cooling.. .only warn while priming.

D27 Taipan 0,3 (SATA 4250) (http://downloads.hwtweakers.net/bios/AMD_k7/abit/nf7_rev2.0/merlin/D27_TaiPan_0.3_ED_Bpl_3.19_28.12.04.rar)

this the one i use.

Yeah... the "C" indicates CPC OFF aka 2T. If using unlock proc, i do recommend avoiding 10x n 10.5x multi. In my system, it does bsod even at 210fsb. either go for 9.5x or 8x (higher fsb = more bandwidth). I do remember someone doing burn-in his d43, but havent heard anything after that. Disappeared.

Heheheh... nice one. But 3.3v, i recommend active cooling.

If anyone want to try to burn-in their D43.... here's how i do it. ( using dos memtest )

1 - set "HIGHEST" dos stable ( no error in dos memtest on test #5 ). no need stable in windows. Set vdimm to 2.9v

2- Loop memtest for abt 24hours ( no need to straight 24hours. mebe 8 hours for 3 days ).

3 - After completing the 24hours, tighten timing in bios ( still on 2.9v ) .e.g. if during burn-in, your timing is 3-4-4-8, tighten the 2.5-4-4-8. see if it's boot or not. if it boot, then proceed to the next step. if not, start again until it can boot to 1 notch lower. (3->2.5... 2.5->2).

4- Burn in again. but this time, loop test #5 only. run abt 24h more(again, no need to do it 24hours straight). It will lower your TRCD 1 notch.

5 - After 24h, lower your TRCD in bios. It should boot with it. if it didnt, try this:
set TRCD as before, but in memtest, go to advance setting, n lower your TRCD there. burn 24h more until it can boot with it in bios.

6 - Set TRCD 1 notch lower in bios. burn again. but, loop test #4 for 24hours. it will lower your TRP. Same process again...test in bios. if cannot boot, do as done in step 5.

7 - If u successfully lowered these 3 timing, then, it's time for the most "time-consuming parts. burn in, in memtest, goto advance setting, set the lowest timing aka 2-2-2-x. Burn in until u fed up with it. test it by booting that timing. if it does boot, hehehe.... there u are.... 2-2-2-x with cheapo d43.

unlucky me, my stick crap out at 253 initially. if it can reach 270-ish at start, i'm pretty sure it can do 2-2-2-x at 270-ish.

Kalu x silap, it's TicTac who stated 0.5x multi got lower bandwidth and Merlin who stated 10.5x multi got stability prob. :sigh: Too long oledi .... didn't remember. Pls correct me if i'm wrong.
