Infineon 6A is defenitly the real deal. Why: the same dots on the ic’s, the same markings on the long side. Only Winbond has them. You can see them on my photo’s as well. Only: mine boot Cas 3 so this is CH5/6. And they are scaling on voltage. I made a study of the marking on the ic’s and they seem to be unique for at least Samsung and Winbond and some other brands. You don’t need to see the text Winbond on them. They can be recognized even if the text is different on the ic’s. Take these Kingston 266MHz, they have a Kingston label on them: BH5 running at 3.2v

A while back you guys told me that Infineon 6A is BH5. I have got myself a kit of Infineon 6B and this seems to be CH5/6. I was wondering if you guys noticed this as well? I was also wondering if you guys got your info about FireRAM.

Piotres is still active as well, but he lives in the same country as Bartx.

I recap as wel. But oc is the primary goal. It is just junk if not using it where it was build for in my eyes. But then again, I always oc’d every piece of pc hardware I had. like for instance: Back then I only noticed that my PIII motherboard had a defective fsb selection when I wanted to sell it. My 550MHz cpu never ran on the 100MHz bus so only years after buying it I found out I couldn’t run it. It only ran on it’s maximum FSB setting...

I would say keep and mod it. in my eyes anything that does not run 2.7GHz is not worthy.

I think I won’t be explaining how it works for him. But it needs a little more effort to make it work 100%. He knows most of it. Earlier he gave some info in the Discord ddr forum (https://discord.gg/a8kqRS). Based on his info I made a short info document earlier this year: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlqYyDbusnPEnXlOFHasmpxGv96M

Auto660 designed and build the booster (FireRAM) this year. It is much better then the ocz booster when used fully. This unit can set dimm voltage and set vtt percentage. He is using free pins of the memory banks for this. I still have to make this mod on all motherboards. The only disadvantage is that you have to order and solder everything yourself. He is on HWbot and Discord as well.

I have some more work to do... All old Winbond kits (and one tccd) were found. They were never far away or sold. Even my old Mushkin kit. Trying out the MSI will have to wait.

I will test the new bios files later this or next week, thank you again. I was testing a “new” nf7-s today that I bought with a nice Thermalright cooler.

I ran it on auto. I only set mem timings. I am just quicktesting for now. Mem @3.2v since vtt does not scale (yet)

Thanks, that is to bad. I hoped that there were more.

I just ran pi 1m CB 2003 and wprime 32m. These gave no issues. 8rdavore still works as well so it seems all fine. Edit: I forgot to tell that I know for some time now that all mod bios files from nf7-s v2.0 can be used on nf7 v2.0 non sata version. I noticed that on Ebay nf7 version are not sold that quickly... Edit 2: Just quicktested the EBED (256k) modded bios for the -L and it works fine. Edit 3: 260FSB using tccd, no hw mods were done: Above seems a good reason to take this board more seriously. I used 1.7v for NB and 2.8v for tccd. @digitalbath: can you look if there is a hidden nb or agp voltage?

I still have to test stability, but if a boot is possible I don’t expect to much issues.

Nice, will it become dc as well with that bios? As a bios fix needed only? @digitalbath I just flashed the k7n2-ilsr bios on a 512 bios chip and succesfully booted to Windows. modding the latest 7.80 bios for ilsr should work and solve the 256 issue.

I can’t use these for my msi can I? I don’t have the Asus as well.

I have an external BIOS programmer. I can fix any corrupt BIOS on a different pc. There is no possible hardware damage is there?

This is a better then usual kit for this kind of testing. Somehow it is more friendly. But I will test with the new bios files as well. I had the feeling that it was not on par with the nf7, altough mem voltage was not that high...

I didn’t know, I will test it. Edit: I am still Expecting it to be dual channel, why else coding the dimm slots in different colors. edit 2: manual https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/K7N2_DeltaL_ILSR#down-manual It seems to be dual channel.

Thank you verry much. ?????? I just noticed it is a smaller sized bios. I will test all versions later this week. I never flash any of my boards without using the external programmer so that should be no problem. edit: I want to remove the vdimm mosfet first so that I can use FireRAM, it doesn’t like 5v.

Here is the screen you asked for. I put the dual channel proof also in the screenie. Thank you in advance. edit: 20:50 - I noticed a NB voltage of 1.8v was/should be possible in the old modded bios. For those of you looking for voltage points for this board: NB/AGP 245MHz FSB with 2x512MB tccd

I am running 5.9 as we speak but I just stumbled on a installation issue. (Black screen) in win xp install last phase. I will look at it when I solve this

I will look at it. Thanks Edit 18:53 (6:53 PM) @Mr.Scott: I just tested the bios but it didn't work on my Delta-L. @digitalbath: If you could make the bios that would be great. I am running a Win XP install now. So I expect it to finish today or tomorrow.

Thank you, take your time since I will pick it up tomorrow. I still need to install xp after this. oh and it seems to be dual channel from what I could find.

I am still in doubt of the need of a mod bios, I might as well use it for binning and testing. Great update from a sis board. But if it can be done and won’t cost to much time then yes. Other: no Oh and I managed to save two nf7-s. I had a defective power on button In the time between the 3 other defective boards, so these two were not defective. And 1 gfx card won’t post on one of the nf7, that is confusing.

Is that BIOS also for the MSI K7N2 Delta-L? I bought one for €7,50... edit: posted it at the same time...
