June 6, 201511 yr Blew up my modded Ultra B. Starting fresh with this Infinity Ultra. Basically the same board minus some bling.
June 6, 201511 yr A couple fets and most of the caps. I'll give fixing it a shot but I have little hope.
June 9, 201510 yr Go for 266x9 btw, one of my Ultra-B's can't handle the VDIMM mod and the only difference is that there's no smd capacitor between 2 FETs close to the memory slots. Unfortunately this is the board that does highest FSB without mod. The other 2 boards have it but all of them should do 266 easily. Actually it will be the first time to use one of my Ultra-B's for competitive benchmarking. I've always preferred NF7-S, because I love that board and also have self-modded bioses for it Edited June 9, 201510 yr by I.nfraR.ed

June 9, 201510 yr Ok, then 282x8.5 Lol, yeah........280 will be out of reach for me I think. I can run the sticks at 280, but getting a SS without locking up is rare for me up that high. Mid 270's is fine, it's that last 5MHz. Edited June 9, 201510 yr by Mr.Scott
June 10, 201510 yr It's not you I think, but rather limitation of nForce 2 chipset - even if you manage to run 280+ FSB, I'm afraid it's not really going to be benchable - like single channel, CPC off. Good luck though!
June 10, 201510 yr Crew 266Mhz Dual Channel will be very hard... Are we about to see a new nforce 2 binning challenge?
June 10, 201510 yr @Strunkenbold: I have DFI LP that does 264 dual with 1.8 vnb straight from BIOS, no binning done, it's my second board. IMHO 270+ FSB dual will be excellent.
June 10, 201510 yr All my 3 DFI Ultra-B can do at least 268-270MHz DC 1:1. 282 will be hard though. My other one could. I have no reason to believe this one won't either. Pretty much thought all of them would with a little work. Maybe I was wrong. I'll give it a go though.
June 11, 201510 yr All my 3 DFI Ultra-B can do at least 268-270MHz DC 1:1. 282 will be hard though. Aha That's why this board has vanished from ebay ?
June 11, 201510 yr AhaThat's why this board has vanished from ebay ? No, it's just hard to find them these days. I bought three last year, one was shipped dead, second died on me. They are like... consumable
June 11, 201510 yr No, it's just hard to find them these days. I bought three last year, one was shipped dead, second died on me. They are like... consumable Yes. Just like the P4C800's.
June 12, 201510 yr Yes. Just like the P4C800's. P4C800's are common as muck on ebay UK, new ones posted every week
June 12, 201510 yr No, it's just hard to find them these days. I bought three last year, one was shipped dead, second died on me. One DFI (killed one) is with me. I tried to do some vmods but it just don't wanted to turn on (leds of death flashing or something). Well I have some NF7s And I can buy (at polish "auction portal") Abit AN7... It could be fun, but i'm too lazy now
June 12, 201510 yr P4C800's are common as muck on ebay UK, new ones posted every week You're lucky. IF you see one here, they want a million bucks for it. I've gone through 4 already, and I don't even like 478.
June 13, 201510 yr You're lucky. IF you see one here, they want a million bucks for it.I've gone through 4 already, and I don't even like 478. The hell are you doing to them I've used and abused my P4C800-E so many times and it's still working I've even had the NB bare with a makeshift "eraser pot" pouring LN2 on the bare die for a laugh and it still wants to work
June 13, 201510 yr The hell are you doing to them I don't know. Maybe my hammer is too big. I've even had the NB bare with a makeshift "eraser pot" pouring LN2 on the bare die for a laugh and it still wants to work Lightbulb moment. Thanks for the idea. Edited June 13, 201510 yr by Mr.Scott
June 13, 201510 yr One DFI (killed one) is with me. I tried to do some vmods but it just don't wanted to turn on (leds of death flashing or something). It was actually the one shipped dead, too bad it didn't want to work. @ObscureParadox: that's a cool idea
