xjedi Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 ive flashed it up to OCZ Tony's BTA bios and it is running the 24h Prime95 test right now (about 19 hours into it) so I must say that Tony's bios loosened up the stock bios DRAM timings enough (i've never had OCZ PC4000 EB fail at stock speed/timings before this CFX3200-DR board, so looks like the stock bios was just wound up too tight) Once I get the prime95 testing done with OCZ 4000EB 2GB, I will try some OCZ PC3200 VALUE 2GB, OCZ PC4000 EL Gold 2GB, Corsair PC4000 PT (Samsung UCCC), Ballistix PC4000 2GB, etc I've no real interest in trying 1GB kits as no one is buying them anymore, and I've got simply too many 2GB kits to test, and once I get 2GB kits into the Stock Speed Database with this board, then I have to go back and begin the overclocking and tutorials and video making etc on it for everyone. Gonna wait on tutorials until my Crossfire cards arrive as many many people still cannot figure out how to setup crossfire correctly. Hey, Angry Games, is there anyway you would be able to send me those modded bios for the CFX3200-DR board? If so that would be awesome.. Im using tony's modded bios for my asus motherboard and they work great but the only problem is that the maximum voltage is 1.52 so it wont keep stay stable to save my life. So Ive decided that once I get my check this week Im gonna either pick up the DFI CFX3200-DR mobo or the DFI LanParty UT RDX200 board. Im debating on throwing down the 200+ to get the new DFI CFX3200 board or just getting the DFI LanParty UT RDX200 board for alot less. I plan on getting a crossfire card later on but im not worried about that right now. Im just trying to get a good crossfire mobo that can overclock my CPU enough so that it wont bottleneck my video card. Because right now ,with my current setup, I can only do htt 3x: ram speed133mhz: 7-3-3-3: 9x270 fsb without games crashing. But games play like crap because my x1900xt is being bottlenecked. The messed up thing is that my last setup ran alot better in games , i had a x850xt pe and i was overclocking my processor to 2.75 ghz and games flew. Now im stuck sitting here hoping that I can find a good motherboard that will give me the same performance that doesnt cost a arm and a leg.

xjedi Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 look around the forums...search tutorial is in the Tutorials section...thats how I found Tony's bios Yes, I already noticed those bios but i was under the impression that those were the untweaked bios .. I thought you were using the tweaked bios that he posted before hand. The link to the tweaked bios is now down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonmaltby Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Just to update you guys.... I'm getting on much better with the board now. Basically, i have found, that a slow, thoughful process is needed to get the best possible from the board. I am running Gskill HZ 4000 (2x1GB) UCCC chips. Until i set the ram times totally manually i had no stability at all. I am currently using the times set out here and so far can boot right up to 280FSB, although memtest is failing at over 270. This is way in advance of my earlier moans. Other comments - air flow is vital. The chipset seems to get very hot. I have added more cooling. I'm going to stop reporting in here now and move over to the overclocking forum. I just wanted to say that, despite the earlier DOOM and GLOOM, i am now getting on well. There are still faults... I suppose most of the problem is that the board has sooooo many options (a very good thing really). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannarym.burns Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 well, i got my board, but no my psu or case so its still just sitting there with my huge tuniq tower sitting on it. i really wonder how on earth does the chipset get hot, i heard its tdp was like 8w.
