dude u totally max out at 270fsb?.. ur temp still look good.. pump up the vcore summore n see how it goes..

I mananged to boot into WinXP @ 290x9, but SP2004 failed. (sad)
However I did manage to run Sandra memory benchmark.

Afraid to pump vcore too high, dowan to burn my new processor.

whats the max temp for the processor?..50c?

55 n below is still in the safe range..
correct me if im wrong..

coffeedude, you're running at 5:4 or 0.8 divider rite? interesting...shall try it out tonite using your settings coz mine also KVR and 3000+ venice too.

i know i know, each cpu is diff. might try it out

I'm running at 6:5 divider. I call it 200/166.

Unfortunately DFI NF4 Infinity don't have 200/180 divider. Else I'd tried it.

there's 6:5?? iinm, in the bios settins, there's only 0.8 or ddr333 above 1:1 which is 5:4

nairud bro.. try flash to the latest bios.. got the 6:5 option there..

no la. it can tahan more than that. check your BIOS for the "shutdown temperature" la.

i would try to keep it below 50c.

here is mine....


Attached thumbnail(s)

haven't get to update / check version i'm using. Damn antivirus giving me prob...cannot support Auto repair out of nowhere. now disabled my network already...too dangerous. can't go online at home to dl new bios

Can someone recommend a good bios for my board (DFI NF4 Infinity)?

tks

woot welcome to stock heatsink club bro..

cepat2 fix that prob n join us bro..

my current version/date 4.XX/12/01/2004 so far no prob at all..
but i believe nf4 infinity board dun have much issue with their bios.. only the latest got some minor improvent such as cpu current clock speed will be shown at boot page and some option in dram config(divider)..

did you guys enable CnQ in bios?
just read one post from xtremesystem, some forummer said that its not recommend to enable CnQ if overclocking.
below is the link, post #29

ya you should disable them..

ohh, will disable later.
newbieockids do you know what is the negative effetcs if enable CnQ and OC?

Satability, reliability and potential overclock seriously degraded.

if u enable the CnQ.. the fan will spin in lower rpm(quite mode).. thats why it is not recommended whenever u oc the procs.. assuming that u've raised the vcore, so the procs temp going high but ur fan still running at lower speed with CnQ enable..

ohh, thanks for PCcrazy and newbieockids for the explanation

Not really, if you enabled the CnQ, only the multiplier will change. It has got nothing to do with the fan. The fan can be set manually by you. At idle load, multi x5 is activated and at full load it will return to the multi that you have previously set in BIOS.

Mind you it's only recommended if your system is not stable. In my case running CnQ even at 270 HTT is completely stable. So I can overclock my system at the same time saving the electricity.
