Posted June 14, 20159 yr Very nice. Modding my board today. Here's to hoping I can get close to that.
June 14, 20159 yr I don't see a way for 282 1:1 and tight timings (BH-5) though It's not so easy even with s.939. Will fix windows later, however I think the other board is dead (the one without capacitor between 2 FETs to the mem slots) from the high 3.3V rail. It was behaving the same with just vdimm mod. So maybe it is good to be extra careful if your infinity is the same. Edited June 14, 20159 yr by I.nfraR.ed
June 14, 20159 yr Good result, once you get your windows straight it will be hard to beat that result.

Similar to what the OCZ booster did. I've done it before on a NF7, but the DFI is a slightly different animal.

Hey Mr.Scott, I don't know why but that OCZ booster doesn't work with ANY DFI board I've tried from nForce 2 all the way to nForce 4 and CFX3200.

Yes, I'm aware about the booster. If my little buck converter idea doesn't work, I'l just go with the conventional Vdimm mod. EDIT- No boot with converter. Board still works without it (*whew*). Guess it will be to conventional VR mod. Edited June 14, 20159 yr by Mr.Scott
June 15, 20159 yr Author The problem with my Ultra B was that conventional vdimm mod didn't work either. Hmmm.....interesting. It worked on my Ultra B, and this Infinity doesn't appear to have anything different other than the obvious stuff. Had to send for more trimmers, I was out. I'll finish the mod this weekend. Hopefully, it'll work.
June 21, 20159 yr Author Vdimm mod on my Infinity worked.................for about 15 minutes. Board is dead. Was running 3.65v I would say anything above 3.5v and you're flirting with disaster.
June 21, 20159 yr It seems that's a black weekend for DFI boards, I tested my two boards yesterday (LP and Infinity) and both seem to be dead, no boot. They have been lying in the closet for a year and boom, surprise.
June 22, 20159 yr @phobosq - its a shame Scotty tell me what do you think about this deads when big vMEM? It's dead chipset or dead MEM power section? Maybe you just blowen ass of power mosfet?! Mabye "ref dimm" voltages must be ideally half of vMEM ? So what do you think?
June 22, 20159 yr Mine worked at 3.7V VDIMM for some time without problems. And my NF7-S boards have always worked at 3.6 - 3.7V, but I think NF7-S is more reliable than DFI Ultra-B.

Makes me feel a little better.
