DFI NF4 the UTT/VX/BH5 KILLER READ IF YOU HAVE DFI

My new Twinmos BH5 has been OK with the 3.3 volt mod using the same board as killed my other RAM. My PC is on nearly 24/7 for weeks with this mod! and all is fine so far!

Whats the 3.3 mod?

reptile,

look

and

Just too add to the story, I'm on my Third DFI board and my Third Set of VX ram. All the boards ran fine with the 5volt ram jumper selected for roughly 3 weeks then Dimm Slot 1&2 died along with the stick of ram in it. I am not overvolting the ram (it's at 3.4 2-2-2-6 1T 250). I'm really getting tired of this cuase it makes me look like an idiot sending back three boards and three sets of ram (with only one stick dead). so when i get it back this time i am going to just run the memory at stock voltage and stock speeds cuase it's getting to be an old story sending this stuff back.

ALL the boards were able to run perfectly fine in single channel in DIMM slot 3 and DIMM slot 4 (using the one working stick) tried every bios out there and no change so it's not the cold boot issue. It's as simple as the board is taking out the 1&2 DIMM slots and the RAM along with it.

Sounds easy to fix your prob man... GET A DIFFERENT MOTHERBOARD!! Drop the DFI already! Try out the new Abit board with 3.5v VDIMM.

None died yet from 3.3v rail jumper trick on mine yet. But I am not holding breath. (It did take about 2 months of 24x7 use to die in 5v line with about 7-8 cold starts) Right now it has been nearly 3 weeks since I stuck to 3.3v jumper idea.

How does your memory clock with the 3.3V mod ??

worse or better or about the same ?

The same!

So guys what is to say about this whole issue?
It seems not to be a specific DFI problem nor it is generally related to the RAMs
So does the truth lies in between those 2 things or what?

There was a rumor that it would be better to use the yellow Slots for HighVoltage RAM in combination with a 510 BIOS.

What do u think now solved or not solved?
