How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware - Page 19

TheWolf · Sep 15, 2009, 05:19 AM

Sorry still a no go. Ran a couple 3DMarks 03 test while I was there.

Still about the same. 56214 3DMarks

Speaking of sleep, I got to get some to. It just hit me big time.
I'm a crash & burn state at the moment.

Get some rest sveet, what I'm about to do.
We can do much better with some rest.
Good luck with your work. I normally don't sleep but about 6 hours a night anyways.
So I will probably be back up in 6 hours. I may sleep longer since I'm so tiered.
Cya l8ter.

Thanks for the help.

Papahyooie · Sep 15, 2009, 05:25 AM

so to do the modded tables you have to edit the files that were spoken of earlier in the thread? What would one put into the file for a foxconn board?

TiN · Sep 15, 2009, 05:40 AM

Papahyooie

Do next:

Download tools:

Intel ASL Optimizing Compiler
Microsoft ASL 3.0

Boot up your system with target board for SLI, make directory c:/ACPI
copy that tools into it.
Run command prompt.
Type: iasl -g

It must show something like this:

Send .dsl file to me

Will work on it evening, goint to sleep now, no sleep all night.

I GOT IT. I patched hal.dll. And install not patched driver. IT WORKS.

http://rapidshare.com/files/280322448/hal.dll.html

This file you should copy to \windows\system32\ and restart the system and also install not patched driver.

Though SLI certificate you should also put into ACPI.

Patch also is needed to make it better. I keep working on it.

And please help me to test this patch.

P.S. If you run CPU-Z you'll see X58 chipset

. But i'm going to fix it.

SVEETSNELDA thank you for provided information.

Mussels · Sep 15, 2009, 09:30 AM

nice work guys

Solaris17 · Sep 15, 2009, 10:04 AM

excellent seems in a day or two...we might just have.

unmodded driver

patch 1

patch 2

ali enabled for all

congrats on the success very very good stuff.

@anat: do you know if you will need to modify mltiple versions of hal.dll? for example

winxp
winxp x64
vista
vista x64
7
7 x64?
or is it a one stop shop?

W1zzard · Sep 15, 2009, 10:07 AM

wow nice progress. will be difficult to make versions for other OS's because of driver signing

Solaris17 · Sep 15, 2009, 10:09 AM

hmmm then maybe that temp/test driver sign tool can be modified to make it a more permanent solution?

I can speak English badly. Explain me easier what you said here. I didn't get it

TiN · Sep 15, 2009, 11:28 AM

Checked, SLI works already on UNmodded drivers (used Forceware 185.85 from nvidia.com, WHQL), Thanks to anatolymik, and his edited file Hal.dll, which change chipset ID on OS level to Intel X58. As stated, diag tools, like CPU-Z showing always northbridge id as Х58

Edited DLL for Windows XP 32bit hosted , hal.dll
Overwrite original one in c:/windows/system32/, store backup of original if something go wrong.

I love that P5B Deluxe with X58 northbridge

anatolymik · Sep 15, 2009, 11:56 AM

Thank you TiN for testing.

Mussels · Sep 15, 2009, 12:25 PM

i gotta admit, patching the OS to see the hardware as x58 wasnt something i'd considered... well done

sveetsnelda · Sep 15, 2009, 12:44 PM

Nicely done, anatolymik!!! Keep up the good work!

Now we've just got to get around the SLIC check. Modifying DSDT is annoying.

Yes, and not always can be done easily, as I already caught.

XS member, soundood, trying to insert SLIC into his AMD Cross-fire board, the M4A79-D got his DSDT table, but it's too heavy, ~0.5MB.

adding SLIC and trying to compile I've got this:

But table with SLIC inserted corretly (as far as I see), and is here:

Good morning! Good news I see...

Here is a copy of W7 64bit Hal.dll if someone wants to have a look at it.

Good, we need just W7 32bit and XP 64 now.
Will try W7 sli mod this night. (but i have only 32bit version here now)

TheWolf, can you please post your modified DSDT you're trying to use? I'm still curious why SLI isn't working for you.

I replaced hal.dll but CPU-Z still show my board as X38?

When I sent you the "revision 2" driver, did you patch the DSDT to show "ASUS" instead of "ABIT"?
