Best BIOS for DFI NF4 SLI-DR?

[stocky]

Started getting this system up and running on air - just wondering what the best BIOS is for the DFi SLi-DR?

I'm running the following spec:

7800GTX

2x512MB BH5

Opteron 148

Any experience on this?

I don't think my BH5 responds well to over 3.6V during burn in!

I'm at 266MHz @ 3.6V, that sounds okay I think for now

(PS: I have read Mav's Threads... I always knew they would come in handy for me one day! )

I use 623 for everyday use. I never noticed that much difference between different bios' to be honest.

I'll have to check which BIOS I'm running, there must be one which is the best though - there usually is anyway! 8)

You need the right one for your ram too

cant remember which is for which ram tho , most unhelpful i know

for his ram, he needs -2

-1 is for all kinds of ram, -2 is for voltage loving ram, -3 is for high fsb ram

I would say try the bios 704-BTA. Best bios ive used yet

I'll give that one a go then

Which divider settings do you use, and what impact does it have on performance?

I know that a divider on an Intel rig has quite a large impact, is it the same for these?

did the dfi slidr turn up ok then stocky mate? if thats my old board then your currently running the 704-3 bios

 

[stocky]

Yes Thank You!

I wonder if I would be better off with the -2...

Any advice on dividers, and how they effect the performance? :?

 

[OV3RCLOCK3R]

Dividers on Amd dont mean nothing so there's no effect on performance

Excellent - I just stuck one in and am at 3GHz on air!

It's only a aluminium HSF aswell without any copper, well chuffed

cool setup man, would be interesting to see some benchs? Is it really low voltage too?

edit - sry was looking at ur sig, not the thread title......

Today I'm sticking the Opty under the peltier, just been sealing up the new 320W peltier into the block

Hopefully this rig will last me longer than the last. I'm no longer in need of the Dothan 770 & P4C800-E Deluxe setup if anyone is interested
