im not arguing about what overclocking is. It is different for everyone, for me it is to get the highest clock while being stable at everything. Not just stable for a bench. Again from my experiences sometimes my system will pass everything except for prime, and it shows later on when files start disappearing out of no where.Quote:

Lets return back to the DFI shall we? You can discuss overclocking ethics somewhere else. :off:
:D Yep - and always watch Ya MOSFETS at 32M if they're not active cooled - if You have bad luck You'll see some flames coming out.... :toast:
Any idea if the x16 to (2) x8 switchover will work on boards other than Video....
ex: X800XT and a SCSI raid controller? Was thinking 2 74G 15K scsi drives in raid0 as a way to get some disk performance. LSI has a x8 PCIE controller.
Question, how safe is 1.6V on the X800XTPE GPU? My temps hit the low 60'sC at max load.... Im at 600/600 on air at the moment. Strock was 1.385V and hit ceiling of 545Mhz core stock. My ram is 2.20/2.25 vdd/ddq at the moment.
Agree here. Where was the last post which contained any valuable information (test report, actual experience) on the DFI board or related discussion? 2 pages ago?Quote:

it will work if u set the jumpers correctly ( will work on other boards as well as long as u have that little pcb thing plugged the right way)Quote:

Are you serious? Can those things actually catch fire?Quote:

:D Just a bit kidding, think running 32M won't cause this but I heard that it happened to people - maybe they dealed to much with the voltages.... ;)Quote:

hehehe well Ill see what I can do to improve air flow in my case. Fire or not just having a part die sucks big time.
:D Yep - go for it, here You can see mine:Quote:

Coolermaster copper coolers on the MOSFETS and placed a 50mm fan with 5000 rpm with some little drops of fast-connector on the top of the capacitors.

Who knows... I still use lots of tests cause I'm paranoid and keep my taxes and important papers on comp and want to be 100% not corruption occur.
:D O.K. now - I've to say sorry myself and for all other poeple for that ammount OT here - but we're all united in one thing: WAITIN' FOR DFI NF4 !!!
I do really hope if some more people received the board that we'll go back to the topic - showing benchies, discussing bugs and successes and tweak together the board to the max.
But who shall now post results if only a hand full of people got the board already ?
So let's hope for the future and I'm sure we'll see a lot of pics and screenies here........ :toast:

ok, yesterday i tested the 131-bios. i am really happy with it. my fx55 is now running @ 295x11 2,5 3 3 8 1T @ 3,1v. it looks like the board and my gskill likes each other ;)
i only have a problem with one of my gt´s. i think one is crap. 416/1100 is not enough, or?
greez
LoKi
any changes with that bios? Performace numbers up or new features?
Dave
:D Hey guys - come on - we need here some screenies like 340 1:1 !!!
For all who care: NEWS
:toast:
Hello, witch is the best ram for OC my 3500+ with this NFI ultra mobo. I got a OCZ 3200 Plat rev2 and i can change the memory, maybe VX? or I stay with my platinum rev2. Air Colling es XP-90+enermax.
Well, like everyones here...I'm waitin for the king. In the meantime I hope DFI board can do better than this neo4 plat, sli with 4x...1:1 and 2.7v on Gskill LE

yes they all have the same bios
cooll... all we need now is crack the bios identification to let it run SLi :banana: :banana: :banana:Quote:

I didn't understood the 'evassion' question too, can you rephrase it?Quote:

@All who already got one DFI NF4:
Did You just exprienced with the chipset voltage? Known from socket A it is a great advantage to have this option - usually increasing the chipset voltage will cause a higher FSB (HT).
Did somebody find out the best setting ?
:toast:
When this board available?
To compare....I set nb voltage in neo4 bios to max at 1.85V.Quote:

OK thanks:) So basically no USA retailer has them yet.. bummer. I swore I read somthing that said two weeks like three weeks ago..:P
Which retailer has them besides on Ebay - IN STOCK???Quote:

which model is then we should get and crack it :confused: :stick:Quote:

The bridge will be available for sale separately for around US$10.Quote:

I really do hope so - these days more and more confusion comes to me, Abit releases AN8, ATI will come with the BULLHEAD and MSI NEO4 DIAMOND SLI does 9 x 355.........., and DFI releases a new BETA BIOS every day !!! :toast:Quote:

Buy one and find out for us. :p:Quote:
