Prospector Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Just got this board a few days ago and so far so good!I went from a Soyo KT600 Platinum and Mobile XP2600 O/C'd.Even at stock this 3400+NC is quicker and snappier.I did manage to find a good home for the active chipset cooler that came on the Soyo. It fit perfectly on the DFI chipset.Barely started to play around with O/Cing this thing and had it up to 2700 no problems.Time to start studying the bios and OC settings to do it right. This board rocks. :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reject Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 your ch5 should do 2-2-2 timings with the right volts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospector Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Yeah the timings I show are SPD for now.I'm wondering which bios to use,on the 8/27 right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nSaNe Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Yea this board is one of a kind when it comes to clocking. I went from a Chaintech vnf 250.. which rocked for the money also. i still would put that board in the #1 spot as far as bang for buck... but the DFI is far superior for sure. And about the CH-5... i have had lots of CH-5 and NONE did anything at any volts. i could run 5-2-2-2 but unstable @ 3.1v and imo thats not worth it.. could do 6-2-3-2 up to 218mhz with 3.1v and under. and x-3-3-3 didnt post.. and CL 2.5 got stuck at 220mhz.. my first set was corsair 2x256 3200LL XMS it sucked and i forget the rest.. i have 1x512 corsair also and it was identical to the 256 as far as OC went. Its good fast ram.. but not for OC'ng IMHO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nSaNe Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 i Use the 10/15 Bios by jess1313, its a beta.. i have used the 9/14 official and jess1313 4v one... all seemed to be equal as far as performance and OC went... i had 0 hitches with all... except once or twice ive had to save bios settings 2 times to get them to Hold. the shipping bios doesnt like when you turn off CPU throttling.. which is a good idea to have this disabled for OC'ng so.. i upgraded.

nSaNe Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 nice... i guess i shouldnt say that ch-5 wont OC but i dunno i never had anyluck with that stuff... had some cheap samsung generic for a while... with TCCC chips and they rocked for 120.CAD for 2x512 got those puppys running ddr530 8-3-4-3 and ddr 500 @ 8-3-3-3 and that was what they are rated for at ddr400 LOL. i have had numerous sticks of TCCC and they ALL react the same... 2.8-2.9v and ddr500+ for sure its good stuff if your looking to go cheap and get hi OC.. had way better bandwidth with TCCC @ ddr500 than ch-5 @ stock 6-2-3-2.. anyways though congrats on the OC man... keep em comin... drop that multi and suprise me with some killer ram clocks... i wish i could make my 3000+ do 2.7ghz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
