[Tommy67]

aspevacek could take a pic of the Iceberg as im planing to buy 1 as well,so i can get a rough idea of what u have done.also is it the normal1 or the pro model?has it reduced temps in the chipset alot as i plan to overclock this setup..

 

all feedback welcome.

I happened to have a pic of the chipset cooler I took during my build

Now I have a question. I was bored and was reading the manual for my fine mother board. In the manual it tells you not to insert a second graphics card in the board, as ti can cause a no boot situation. I read a review where it scored lower and they stated it could be because the 2nd was operating at 2X instead of 8X. Now I look at the pic of my board and it clearly shows 2-3 ON sets the PCIE1 and PCIE3 to 8X 8X config. If it does infact adn one was to complete the SLi mod, it should function 100% like my LP SLi-D did correct?

 

I am looking to grab a second 7900GT KO over the next few days and I am building a SLi Bridge out of one I had laying around

So I could actuly end up with a DFI Infinity SLiII-M2

First Post -- Hello!

 

Hey MC,

 

Thumbs are great.

 

Are you using this patriot memory or something very similar?

 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820220094

 

I have that RAM, the UltraII-M2, and an AM2 3800+ X2 on the way and should be here tomorrow (the 23rd).

 

I just wanted to know if there were any issues or anything I would have to do to get that RAM to work in the UltraII-M2.

 

As you can see from my sig, its been years since my last core upgrade, and I hope my first experience with DFI goes off without a hitch. I plan to transfer the HDD and GPU (until I can get new ones in a couple weeks). I will also use my current power supply.

 

Thanks for any assistance guys.

The Patriot worked MUCH better on Intel. I was able to get 920 @ 2.2. However on this DFI my highest, not realyl trying my best, I',m looking @ a 800 wall @ around 4 4 4.

 

Not bad for cheapie ram but still... I think I have a weak DFI Ultra. Still, can't complain with a nice OC in my opinion.

 

My board loves 9x multi. Don't know why weird. Also, 2T on ram.

 

Im looking for some new memory. I don't know what to get though... Micron is a tad pricey. looking at over 250$ roughly.

[d-mart]

Using Team value ram that use what looks like micron chipsets , I can a push memory to 1066, 2.3v at 5-5-5-15, while maintaining <300 htt.

htt by itself can be pushed to 380.

 

If I'm trying to push both, htt AND memory.

At 320htt, mem maxed out at 960 5-4-4-15.

Absolute stable max, not even a single more htt/mem. This is using the first release bios, not the latest 711 bios. With 711 bios, stable htt/mem combination are much lower.

1T timing is very unstable at high htt.

 

Maybe it's just very early bios, DFI haven't tweak it to max yet... :cool:

[MC FLMJIG]

That is a SWEET stick if it is any reg ram! Even more so if it's VALUE!!!

 

Which ones are they? I'm sure they probably changed them by now.

Just got my board.... and mod it to SLI

 

But I don't have extra card to SLI with though....

 

I wanted to get some shot of the post screen showing nForce4 SLI.... but my digicam ran out of batt

Joining the club:).Hi to all from this thread.I'm moving to AM2.I'm sending my board back to get the money back since it was faulty second time.Now from the money I'm buying a 3500+ processor and I would like to buy a month later a MoBo.I would like to use DFi and I need something good.To work with my new processor.One more thing.I would like to know what revision of CPU to buy and what ram should I buy.Only 512MB for now.I will get 512MB later so I can do Dual Channel.So I need some revisions and ram models to guide my choice. I would appreciate if you could help me move on to a much more interesting zone.To finnaly acomplish my dream of having an AMD Athlon.Since I only had AMD Sempron ti'll now(thanx AMD for the price drop).L.E: I just saw Mannila core runs higher.I would like to know what to choose.Should I go Mannila or Orleans core?And please specify an overclockable revision.Thnx

check the Overclocking Database

 

I started teh AM2 DB with an entry yesterday, and in about 30 minutes the same rig will be done testing @ 260x10, then I will move to 270x10, etc etc

[AsAs1n8eR]

I saw the database entry.It was very he;pfull.The problem is I need some revision details and some help regarding teh core.Wich one is better?Mannila or Orleans?And about the Mainboard I saw two models in my suppliers pricelist as it folows:
