M4d-K10wN Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 As the title says, I'm wondering which I should disable, to attain better FSB overclocks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 1/2 will not allow you to detect past 240 (well documented if you use search button) 3/4 will be what you want to plug into past 250 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4d-K10wN Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 Thanks! Next time, I'll post a question that hasn't been answered before You better get read.. Oh, hell, I'll just do it right now. How do I circumvent the overvolt protection for vdimm on this board? From what I understand, vdimm also goes into one of the Winbond monitoring chips... So, I'd have to cut a leg, and wire something that's at 2.5-3.6V into it instead. The question is, which leg, what chip? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the bus at 240 (and HTT multi at 3x) and it'd detect the drives but couldn't complete the formatting prior to install. I was able to get it on by lowering the FSB to stock and then it worked fine. If I'd hooked the drive up to port 3, would I have been able to install it at the 240 speed?

M4d-K10wN Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 Definetly! That Marvell chip runs off it's own, high-frequency clock generator; so it's completely unaffected by your FSB adjustments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glocksman Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 I just got done experimenting and found that I could indeed have done so. I was tearing what's left of my hair out last night trying to figure out what was wrong. Maybe DFI ought to start packing the URL to this forum in with the manuals.

It's Ports 1 and 2 that run off the Marvel chip and it's them two ports that .up over 240MHz FSB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
