Hey guys, I just got in my new mobo and ram, tested it out pretty much all weekend and I thought this OC was pretty good for my set-up so I thought I'd share it.... First, cooling:

I have an all air cooling set up.

- Swiftech MCX462-V w/ Vantec Tornado (92mm) on CPU
- Swiftech MCX159-A on Northbridge
- Vantec Iceberq4 on GPU w/ OCZ Copper Ramsinks
- 4 - 80mm case fans

All with a nice coat of Ceramique. (CPU, NB, GPU)

Temps:

- CPU: 38°C Socket, 31°C Diode, 43°C Full Load
- NB: 34°C Idle, 38°C Full Load

Temps from MBM5.

Voltages:

- Vcore: 2.00v
- Vdd: 1.8v
- Vmem: 3.2v
- Vddq: 1.5v (default)

The following was done with a Barton 2500+, stepping: AQXEA 0330XPMW, DFI Ultra Infinity-B, and Mushkin PC3500 Level II Black (2x256, BH-5). Rest of my system is in sig.

I have a more room on the RAM and NB, but close to none on the CPU. I can get into windows at 250fsb but only do sandra and stuff, nothing 3D at all. It just isnt stable. Im probably gonna do a Vcore and Vdimm mod soon. :D
 
These boards kick serious ass.

My Mushkin are double sided..doing nicely @ 250 3.2v :)
memtest error-free.


edit:

Is yours a REV B?? Because the Infinities come in REV A & A+ only..AFAIK.
The LanParty Bs are great...LanParty As suck.
 
nope! stock is upto 3.3 vdimm, and1.9 vdd, 2.0 vcore(wish it was more) but modding is easy...im getting mine back from RMA(water and pcb dont mix:) )
 
Nice work man. You should give H20 a try.

And I GOTTA get one of those boards. My A7N8X-X is too weak. I got some BH-5 memory and I'd like to actually be able to utilize it fully.
 
Thanks. Im gonna try a few diff BIOS's, ive heard they give slightly different FSB results...any ideas on which one was the best?

A, A+ it doesn't matter. Just buy :)
All Infinities are good.

I allredy did :D
I just want to know what kind I have, I got it from newegg on sat. so Im thinking it could be here as early as today, or maybe tomorow
just want to know the difrences.... wont be changing much
 
It's probably the A+ revision. I just got a board from newegg last week, it is an A+.

No idea on whats different though, probably minor things like cap placement and stuff.. :confused:
