strange nf2 infinity problem

[zealot`grr]

hi guys, first of all I'd like to say I really appreciate the way DFI offers customer support: great forums, beta bioses for the masses and a fast RMA service.

 

so, I really hope that my question / description of my problem(s) fits into this forum since in a way it's also overclocking related :confused:

 

my setup:

 

XP 2500+ / slk 900u + 92mm fan

DFI infinity /w 2/17/04(1/31 ROMSIP) bios - no mods done to the board except a TIM switch on the NB

2*256 corsair bh-5 / 2*256mb twinmos bh-5 / 2*512mb infineon 6-A

antec true power 430W / gf4 ti4200

 

the problem:

 

I can do 11*183mhz 2-2-2-11- eefe cpu interface enabled memtest+86 1.15 + prime 95 stable @ 1.575V Vcore / def. Vagp / def. Vdd / 2.65V Vdimm

 

but there's no way to get a 200mhz fsb :confused: when set in bios the board won't post and clockgen for nf2, I set the fsb and the puter reboots.

 

I tried the 1/31 + 1/21 bios, didn't help @ all

 

I'm into overclocking for a long time now but never ever did see soemthing like this. maybe there's just a bios setting which I missed or something like that?

 

please let me know if you can think of a solution, thanks in advance!

Welcome....

 

My pick of the RAM you have listed is the TwinMos

and ran in slots 1 & 3.

 

I would run the Vcore at 1.750 to 1.850 area and

run the Vdimm at 3.0 to 3.2 area. (TwinMos luv's

juice)

 

You are not running the Mobile version chip so I

would set the Multi at 10 and the FSB at 200 (in

BIOS).... then use Clock/Gen and go up with the

FSB from there.

 

Luck.

Yep I concur. I'd definitely start with raising the Vdimm with either the Twinmos or the Corsair and then I would look @ voltage stability with the 430W PSU just to make sure the rails are supplying good juice. Since the modifier is @ 11 I assume this is an unlocked desktop barton?

My Bad...

 

Should have began by asking if you had

the unlocked version Barton.

 

...been a long day. hehe.

S'ok pop...been a long day here too packing little priority mail boxes full of peanuts and invoices and chips..I got to the post office at crunch hour and you could hear an audible groan when 1 walked in with 10 priority pkgs!!!! Little did they know I print postage and stuff online spo they were all already marked!!!!

 

aplogize for the hijack..plz continue

If you are trying 200x11 with an XP2500+ at [1.575 that is probably the reason.

 

Bump the CPU volts up to 1.700 and run a little more Vdimm on those BH5's. Also go with

11,3,3,2,2 timings until things start sorting out.

thanks for the warm welcome

 

it's a non-mobile XP 2500+ week 11, 2004. so I've do "work" with a fixed multi of 11. I tried Vcores up to 1.875V, Vagp up to 1.8V, Vdd up to 1.8V and Vdimm up to 3.1V / ya, bh-5 loves voltage / but no success.

 

the psu is very stable and can handle more than a 2.2ghz XP :/

 

for me it looks like as if I had bad luck and got the worse infinity on this planet
