:) So we are back to the problem :( When my stuff arrives I will do some measurements and think about making oneQuote:

the third test

is this normal? :confused:
Thanks for the clarification, sorry its my bad not to mention it. The important thig is just be carefull with nf4 chipset core if you wanna use after market hs.Quote:

I've got two kits of it, one is still cooling my AGP card and from the second I only use the fan for active MOSFET cooling.
It's heavy pure copper and working fine, I think a lot of better quality than the cheap stock one.
On socket A I used it also for NB cooling before I put my WC on the NB and there I got exactly the same temperatur on water than on air.
But I'm not sure if it is also on NF4 - here we go with a united NB & SB in one chipset so maybe the heat is a lot more than on socket A.
But it's the only chance I see so far...............

hope their customer support is ok
I remember reading somewhere that the NF4 chip gets quite hot.... :( I wonder, are DFI still using the magnetically driven fan? I hope it lasts better than the TMD fans of a couple of years ago ;)Quote:

Can You gimme an advice?
THX! :toast:
i don´t see memtest or cpu test in the boot menu or is it hidden?
HCC :)
I presume it is like this
http://www.dansdata.com/tmdfan.htm
I think a genuine "magnetically levitated" fan ie one in which the rotor is floating in a magnetic field and there are no bearings at all would be EXTREMELY expensive. I use vacuum pumps at work which are based on that principle and they cost £10,000 :eek:
Edit: looking at the picture of it, I guess its not like the TMD fan. So maybe some sort of magnetic levitation, but also a bearing in the middle
:D O.K. - I see, seems to be hightec and lets hope that it will work for a long time.............Quote:

:toast:
Yes maybe :) Actaully I don't think its like the TMD one cos I can't see any coils on the rotor tips. Still, perhaps it will be quiet, at least ;) I will still look in to making a block when I get the board and video card....Quote:

Best way to describe it is think of two magnets with the same pole facing each other, they will push themselves away from each other, in this case this magnetic force field is used to make the fan wheel spin.Quote:

If they did the same as the LanParty UT 250GB, try this:Quote:

:toast:
im really hoping that this mobo will be good, im expecting it to ATLEAST hit 350fsb because with my msi i could get 410fsb not stable but 380-390 was 100% stable and the dfi every one says its for overclockers.
Hardcoreclocker- it might be sad but true that the boards sent to reviews and stuff like that have been selected to work very good, reaching high fsb and that the y was good with all diffrent memory types (ust hoping it wont be that) if it is like some says, i ust spent something like 300dollar on a mobo that is crappyer than my msi and thats NOT god :(
:D True words my friend - for me it's even more to spend, I need a new PCI-E GPU because I'm still on AGP so I ordered a LEADTEK 6600GT EXTREME for about $250 plus price of the board - that's reality.Quote:

i´ve placed the jumper to get 4vdimm, but i can only see 3,2 available
is the reason my 20 pin atx psu or is there something wrong wih this bios
if u listen to that fan on the website it sounds loud as...well loud. But maybe it was realy close. Those sound liek they would make sweet case fans
pretty funny i sold my 9800pro agp and bought the same graphic card as you :toast: so i spend something like 550 now and i really hope it works good because other it will be the first and last time i got a dfi mobo!Quote:

2things are ust missing now, the 1st is that sli dont work and the 2th is that it only gives 1.7v to cpu over that the mosfets goes over 200c and catches fire...... :dammit: :grr: :slash:
GJ DFI! :up:
I wouldn't be surprised. The extra load on the 5v rail may make it nessicary for the 24pin connectorQuote:

Good point, maybe the board doesn't think your 5v rail is up to it which brings you back to a 20pin PSU possibly being the issueQuote:

i was just interested to see, if i can choose this
understandable. That is a good thing about the TCCD. Very low volts needed which is less of a strain on your board and psu, not to mention less heat dissipated.
:D Yeah - good choice for a middle priced GPU - the EXTREME is stock clocked 550/1120 and does 590/1340 without any problems and it's fan is not noisy.Quote:

So all in all we spent the same ammount of money and share the same kind of hope.....
BTW, take a look at the MSI SLI DIAMOND thread - just somebody postet stable 9 x 355 :stick:
I hope DFI will not be a disapointment.

Where'd you get the Leadtek Extreme version for 250?
:D NORSKIT Europe - 188 €, the product state was a long time "delivery unknown" and then suddenly overnight it went to "in stock" and I had good luck to catch one - 2 days later they're out again and now priced at 200 € and not in stock anymore.Quote:

:D Back to the question where You can find a PCI-E LEADTEK 6600GT Extreme (Europe) - found 3 shops with it in stock:
6600 GT Extr.
and
6600 GT Extr.
and
6600 GT Extr.

Seems to be a bios feature, kind of a protection against the ones who don't know what they're doing so that somebody who's not an overclocker, accidentally doesn't set it to 3.7Vdimm, for example ;)Quote:

I'm starting to wonder if the NF4 chipset is just a poor overclocker. What I mean is, except for the best of the best overclockers, the rest of us are having a hard time with them. Seems all the current boards are flakey, they all have something.
i feel sorry for you guys. these new boards looked really good, finally you can ditch your crappy neo 2s, and now your having more bad luck.
the nforce4 is a crappy design but if anyone can work it it will be dfi.
if it wasnt for SLI, and fx 55 was on 754, then the LPUT nf3 would be everyones dream board
Go back a few pages in this thread, you will see pictures of what the new revision is, look for the sticker on your board.Quote:

Hello im new here but I was watching the dfi posts some weeks ago. I have a 3500+ winch and OCZ plat pc3200 rev2 memory and im looking for a mobo,msi neo4 or dfi ultra. This memory dont likes voltage too much, 2,8V max i think. It is worth to take the dfi mobo or msi neo4 is best for me? my heatskink is xp-90 + enermax.
Thx!
where can i find the 126-bios?! i only find the 125...
thx a lot!
Hello to all :D
finally got my account validated :) took a while..anyway I just wanted to say my SLi-DR should be here at home in 30 minutes :D shipped friday
cheers

someone told some pages back that is in the taiwan DFI site, go check itQuote:

and the new bios from today
http://www.dfi.com.tw/Upload/BIOS/NF4LD131.exe
http://www.dfi.com.tw/Upload/BIOS/NF4LD131.zip
have someone tested the 131?
is this the bios only for the sli or have they all the same bios? I habe the Ultra not the sli board.
Highly doubtfull, if tested, it is happening right now maybe in the UK (bigtoe) with no official results yet, USA side (OPP or Angry Games - possibly bigtoe if he is in USA this week) the beta tester are mostly in USA California not awake yet, time zone difference.Quote:

So keep an eye out for post from one of these guys.
Beta site links to same bios irrelevant of SLI or Ultra, so 131 also for Ultra.Quote:

Raising chipset voltage wouldnt do the trick either... so i hope its just a bios issue and a new bios can fix it! It aint about the HTT itself either, because 8x300 is working as well...
perhaps the ram, what is your max with it?
