Oh ok cool. Will bump it back to 960Mhz then.

How to set the FAN to 100% ar ? I disabled PPM and C1e in the stock BIOS (didn't flash to the latest yet, should I ?)

After taking the sidepanel off, it's around 49-50+. Much better.

Strange voltages ? Like sprinta's readings. Or are those considered normal ?

hav ordered the g.skill . but dunno got stock or not.
the gskill does not comes with D9, but Powerchip which can oc very well too according 2 the review on vr-zone
http://www.vr-zone.com/index.php?i=4473

I think should be rather safe or perhaps even recommended to run @ 2.2V.

Mine currently running like this since yesterday...... plus many hours of intensive games:


Btw... im still not convinced that it's a D9 afterall...... cant seem to hit 1000 even at 5-5-5 @ 2.2V. Scared to go above that voltage. Settings must be wrong somewhere ...... More testing needed.

Currently on 0418....... but beware of this bios. Yesterday got some raid problems.
But solved already.

i dunno if u guys notice this....when OCCT or blend priming the mobo will have some weird sound one... plz try and see....i notice mine has the sound....

I want to update the bios.

But...

can download the BIOS and use winflash to flash BIOS.

You mean update in windows?
Winflash is used to flash the bios in windows?
Teach me please.

Sorry, this is my first time using DFI motherboard, so i'm kinda scared and really don't know how to flash the motherboard.

I noticed this DFI MUST have a fan installed on the Northbridge heatsink or the system temperature will read very high.

I use an old Pentium III cooler fan and tape it on top of this cooler. and it works great. Temperature is now reading 35c

The fan: Under the PC HEalth settings, set CPU fan 100%, not Auto.
PPM/C1e: Better to enable those two if you want the PC not to be so hot when idling like I did for mine.
BIOS: DEpends, if your is currently stable, stick to it. Mine I'm sticking to my 411
Volates: Thsoe are because the boards layout and PWM sensor work differently compared to what is known. Stick to the Smart Guardian provided until FCG finalises his update Core Temp plugin for MBM5


Mine didn't both in ORTHOS Blend and Everest's own stress test all except HDD stress test enabled


Download this: http://www.dfi.com.tw/Upload/BIOS/Winflash184.ZIP

Unzip it

Then download and unzip your BIOS file image

Run winflash.exe, select update all on the left and also CLear CMOS option

Load BIOS image file, then click file/update

And wait for it to flash

Once flash complete reboot, enter BIOS, set default/optimised settings, rebbot and make sure ESCD updated before messing with settings

the sound is dam small one...u have to put ur ear near to the system then oni can hear.....
now i dunno if my mobo has problem or wat
stress proc only no problem
if bled got sound...

Don't worry, you're not the only one that get that kind of sound.

think it's the PWM trying to maintain as low as possible the vdroop since it may trying to compensate actually

Arghhh, got a dreaded BIOS checksum corrupt earlier when I meddled with the DRAM timings (4-4-4-10 @ 962Mhz). Had to clear the CMOS then phew it worked again. I've forgotten how "aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhrrrrrhhhhhhh" OC-ing can be.

So it's sitting pretty at 320FSB @ stock vcore and DDR2-962Mhz @ 1.95v.

Now itchy to flash the BIOS....

What kind of timing u've used to reach that kind of speed at that kind of voltage?

try 500x7 1.4vcore ram ddr2-1000 4-4-4-12 @ 2.3vdimm

err actually, how to change the RAM:CPU ratio from 1:1 to 2:3 or 3:4??
very dont understand ehh

ps: its aint similar to amd system ait?

under DRAM speed lo....1:1 is 266, 4:5 is 333, 2:3 is 800

Timings ? Left them at SPD, which cpu-z shows as 5-5-5-15, 2T command rate.
2:3 ratio, 480.6Mhz.

Anybody getting "Out of memory error" in the Sisoft Sandra X1 SP1a Memory benchmark ? wierd la.

Coolice: Ehehe. wait la.

FYI now the ratio terbalik liao.... by adjusting it you are actually upping ur ram speed not like the good o'day u need to set ram divider to limit ur ram speed to get higher clock speed...

Added on May 1, 2007, 2:27 amhey Eoma i suggest u to use 1:1 1st and then set all the timing auto then boot into windows...open the memset.... write down everything there in a piece of paper and then adjust it in the bios then try to boot in to windwos and run whatever bench that u used to test stability, if stable then tighten them from there...i think 1st thing u need to do is to play around with ur FSB 1st..... thats why i ask u to set ur divider as 1:1 (533) and set a looser timing...thats is how i usually OC
This is to prevent ur ram to throtting you FSB as most of the benchmark depend more on CPU speed more than the ram speed and timing, nowadays timing plays a smaller role than cpu speed... put the higher cpu speed u can get as the highest pririoty 1st...
p/s: dont change any value in memset, just write them down and then set it in bios....

sifus if i say something wrong plz correct me ya

just finished setting up the new rig but on the start already got problems

i tried installing windows xp, then at a certain stage error came up. something about couldn't find catalog something...

the only thing i changed in bios is setting the nb strap to 266... is it that setting that caused this prob??
