Hey guys. I recently purchased the DFI ultra infinity II B board. The other night I installed it and I have had nothing but stability issues since. I hope I can get some help. My system right now consists of the following
Unlocked 2500+ Aqxea week 34
DFI Ultra infinity II B
2x512 Mushkin PC 3500
9800 Pro 128mb (flashed to XT)
550w Enermax PSU?
Previously I had an A7N8X Deluxe 2.0 and 2 x 512 XMS PC3200 running in the system. With that setup, I could run 3D01 @ 10.5 x 225 with the 9800 Pro at 421/378 resulting in a best score of 19,229. For every day use I usually ran the 2500+ @ 10.5 x 210 with 1.65 vcore. Well I just installed the DFI board and the mushkin ram the other day. I was running it at 10.5 x 215- 2205 mhz, and sometimes it would randomly restart or quit a game. It wouldn?t always complete 3dmark either at this setting. I don?t understand why. I started messing around with it and I actually got it to boot 9x233 but it wouldn?t run 3dmark. I didn?t really expect it to. The highest I have been able to run 3d01 at is 214 * 10.5 which was around 2.25. This was with the 9800 Pro at 412/365. I got a score of 19,172! I was surprised by this because I almost tied my previous best, but this time I was running 11mhz lower fsb, 110mhz slower CPU speed, and lower speeds on my 9800 pro. So it was running pretty fast. I haven?t been able to run it past 214 FSB successfully in 3d01? what could be cause this? I tried raising the Vdimm to 2.9 (2.96 actual) and also raised the chipset voltage to 1.7. I also raise the vcore to 1.8 just to ensure it would be stable. Well at these voltages I tried to run 10.5*220 which put it around 2.315. It loaded windows fine but did not finish 3dmark, closing to the desktop after just a few seconds. So I restarted and got a message saying that part of the C:system 32/ blah blah blah was missing or corrupt. Usually this happens when the FSB gets high enough to mess up the bus speed to other components right? Does this board not lock the AGP/PCI bus? If it does how do I do it? Because on my A7N8X I could run 3dmark at 225 fsb and not mess anything up. I guess I just need some clarification on that, and any other settings in bios I need to change to get this thing stable. I bought this board and this ram hoping to run well over 230 FSB stable. Also, do you think the problem could be my ram? I don?t think that would corrupt the hard drive though would it? I have had to reinstall windows twice today. Because the first time I reformatted and reinstalled windows after the hard drive got corrupted, I could not get any drivers or anything loaded because it said it RCPC or something was not working. Anyway I have it up and running again with all drivers installed running at stock 3200+ speeds. I need help. Sorry for the long rant, I just thought it would be good to give all relevant information.
