irfy Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Hi peeps im a newbie to A64. ive been working on plenty Intel rigs. This is my 1st A64 setup and boy im impressed with this board so far. ive been following the 1st thread and would just like some more info on timings and voltage. Rig: A64 3000 CBBIDxxxxdidntnotexxxxEPEW 1.53v @ 2.6Ghz stock HSF GEil UltraX HTT288 x 9 DDR voltage 2.9v 2T timings Copied from CPU-Z Cas latency 2.5 RAS TO CAS 4 RAS Precharge 4 Cycle time (Tras) 10 Bank cycle time (Trc) 7 Dram idle timer 256 I found having chipset voltage set to 1.8v was making the fAN increase RPM ive lowered to 1.6v. My CPC is disabled. Bank interleave disabled Does anyone have a similar setup to check for 1T timings? So far my rig allows me to bench 3dmark01/03/05 and pcmark04 im sure it would be better to run in 1T. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. oooh also just to confirm DO ALL 4 POWER CONNECTORS HAVE TO BE CONNECTED ON THE MOBO? I HAVE OCZ 520W? i thought you only need them for SLi. i have connected 24pin and 4pin next to it. Plus floppy and HDD connectors is this OK? i think the built in memtest feature is great. DFI rockz! manual needs more work. Its time to say bye to Asus and Abit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A64 Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 just a quick dump question. I just got to know there are two power connecters on sli-dr, one fdd and another hdd type.. are those supplying power from mobo or we have to supply the power to mobo to ensure more stability ? if so, should i just simply need to connect both fdd and hdd type power to the mobo ? i am currently running with only 20 pin + 4 pin to the board.. running fine tho... any idea ?

red930 Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 See the stickies at the top of the forum regarding power supply recommendations. Ignore it at your peril! just a quick dump question.

A64 Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 PSU Requirements:http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showpost.p...75&postcount=13 Question: Why chipset fan and CPU fan do no work on this motherboard? Answer: If you use some high performance memories, the loading will be increased automatically. Power delivery might be insufficient, chipset fan and CPU fan might not work. For stability and safety, an external power delivery is required at this time; please connect the 5V/12V power connector on-board (4-pin molex + 4-pin floppy connector). Power delivery will be sufficient. Further more, to ensure sufficient power could be provided; we highly recommend using a minimum 480 Watt power supply unit. it seems like you have to connect those two fdd/hdd type power connector to the board only when the power delivery is not sufficient... or it's always best to connect them at all times ?

Vista Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Always best to connect all 4 plugs at all times, they are just being polite when they say "Power delivery might be insufficient". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
