I don't know if this is where I should post it but I just found out that doing the ricky & pedro tweak will fu*k up the bw, it did for me, I didnt get more then 6151mb/s @ 2.6ghz 260FSB 2-2-2-5. I restored the old drivers and then I got 6729mb/s @ 2.4ghz 260FSB 2-2-2-5 :D

Pedro is the friend of Ricky, if I'm not wrong they were the first to break 40k in 3d1 with their tweak with a FX53, there's a thread about that

It's the Multi ACPI tweak I mean.

Same ambient room temp area. Although this board is solid in VCore and Vdimm stablity, for sli i rather have lower gpu temps.
My gpu clocks are lower also at stock gpu core/mem.
Right now on the DFI i am at 425/1100.
My K8NXP was stock @ 434/1138.

:yawn:

use zalman fan bracket and 120x38mm fan over cards, my DFI temps for my 2x eVGA 6800U PCI-E with fan over top, is only 2-4C higher than on my spacious Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe :)

manage the same 455/1215 clocks on my cards on DFI as with A8N-SLI

I've heard that lots of DFI supporters should look around this forum :)

So here goes...

3,5x HTT would be LOVELY - Since lots of the boards max'es out around 340FSB... Giving you 1020 in 3x - and in 4x 1360, which many CPU's dislike.... 3,5x would be perfect for squasing the last out of the CPU... Im currently running mine at 318x8,5 - If I shall run 4x - I have to go to 305FSB or such... :(

Best regards

do you have ram capable of 340mhz? If so, you bastard. If not, then it doesnt matter, as the highest 1:1 you can get, the better. Unless you're on a 3000+ with the 9x multi then you shouldnt really need to go above 305htt or whatever.. and as it is whats wrong with 340x3=1020 ? thats roughly what the freq is meant to be..

Well use 8,5 multiplier... My motherboard dislike 10x :(

1st Hi to all, great forums, good to be here!

Today i installed me Ultra-D (rev 02). Im using the 24 pin connector and 4 pin from PSU. GFX card is on PCI-E connector, in slot 1, jumpers set to single mode. GFX fan is ok.

When i start system the 4th diagnostic led (VGA) stays on. Some beeps and system turns off. Unfortunately i dont have another PCI-E card/mainboard to check if card is death, but tried an old PCI card and still same problem, so dont think its me GFX card.

Already tried: CMOS clear, connecting all 4 power connectors to board, 1 RAM dimm in every slot, RAM jumper on default and on 2+3, PCI card instead of PCI-E, but still a no go. I hope someone has an idea what the prob might be....

I have same problem with my RAM, when i use only one Mushkin LV2 TCCD, it boot. When i plug one more adata DDR500 in for dual channel, i have same problem like u. Look like NF4 doesnt love various RAM so much :(

Mixing different sticks is a pretty bad idea especially with a board known to be as picky as the DFI.

Actually, what I did was have an metal rail bracket with 2 x 80mm tornados
blowing air over both 6800 ultras. Reduced temps by 11C's per card. :cool:

Hi does anyone know of a cputest of some kind that can be put on a floppy?
I can't get into windows anymore after feeding the cpu with 1.7 for some minutes.

there was suppose to be a cputest as well as memtest in the bios but it never surfaced.

Mrki, same thing happened to me yesterday when I was troubleshooting my system. Disconnected all powercables, took out one memory stick, resetted cmos, plugged power back in, waited 5 secs, pushed the on button. Thunder and lightning came out of my modstream 520w, and the mirrored surface it has got a bit darker with weird color on it o_O

I don't hope this is posted before, but I didn't want to read the entire thread again ;)

On my DFI I want to use a IDE HDD for benching, but I can't get it to work. After format and copying of the first files it reboots, which is normal, but after that I get the message: Error loading operating system. I thought it was the HDD so I tried another (80GB Maxtor) but I got the same message.

Hope someone can help me... :rolleyes:
