If people don't mind I would like to get a survey going, if you can, please list your motherboard (and revision), CPU, and highest stable 3D clock
I think the information could help us troubleshoot

DFI NF4 Ultra-D
REV ACO
CPU = AMD X2 3800+
Highest 3D Stable = Stock Speed 250Mhz
DFI NF4 Ultra-D
Rev AB0
A64 3200+ Venice
Highest 3D Clock 250mhz
DFI nF4 SLI-D
Rev AB0
AMD X2 4400+
3D Stable at 250MHz (crappy hynix RAM won't go any higher)
DFI NF4 Ultra-D (SLI Mod)
Rev AA0
Venice 3200+, Clawhammer 3500+, Winchester 300+
PC4000 Platinum EB
272 Highest stable in Synthetic 3D
265 - 24/7 because CPU's don't like higher clocks
I been trying to check board revision but I only found 2 stickers and none had revison:
I saaw this on lower sticker: 00012910004A83D, and on the other sticker "....void if removed" and D50408963. I wish I could help but mine doesn't have a revision!
any chance you could check again please?
i tried to take a picture of the stickers on my board, hope it helps

Yup, on top of the second PCIe16 slot you guys
Unless you have an older board like mine....then its the bottom of the last PCI slot...way down at bottom of case.
so far 3/4 cannot get past stock speed... :(
Notice how we all have similiar newer revisions, and Eric's is older. It might be a board to IC issues as Eric was saying.
We need more people who hit 270+ 3D stable to post
For those of who like to follow the thread but aren't intimately involved...who's Eric? RyderOCZ?
Also....when y'all say it's not 3D Stable, would you mind trying to severly underclock the graphics card? I want to see what happens when amperage to the card goes down significantly. I'm starting to have a feeling this is a power delivery issue.
no probs with my R.AB0 http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=1509Quote:

With Opteron 144 managed 335-339HTT with 9x multiplier
I just got another board, DFI NF4 Ultra-D R.AD0 to play with as well
I managed to push past the 260 Mhz stopping point I was at in 3d apps with my San Diego. I'm priming 11 x 262 Mhz @ 1.6v now - I can game and run all 3d apps. I updated to the 704BTA bios.
Pushing onward but making sure it's 100% stable takes time.

Does 2G really use that much more power than 1G?
I really think 520w would be sufficient though, but I might give it a try if I have time tonight
Alright, try this: run rthdrbl and SPI. Only stress the CPU, the GPU and the RAM.
It's not that 2G uses more power than 1G, but it seems this IC has much tighter tolerances for fluctuation in voltage and current and my theory is that your board can't cut it when the graphics card is also asking for a lot of power.
I was thinking about it...
In all reality the boards are the same, the revision difference is the BIOS it is shipped with. So says DFI.
I am noticing a lot of other people with a similiar power supply.
When entering 3D, my computer freezes within seconds, not after an amount of time, which would be a voltage fluctuation.
I don't think I'll have time to try that tonight though

I severly doubt that the OCZ Powerstream 520 would be struggling with our systems...
Dnottis: Is this the 704-2BTA? Because i tried that one first with no luck... Im now on 623-3 and still getting same results.
could it just be the memory controllers on the processors?
which cpu's have the best memory controllers?
(i might have to get a new cpu to go with this memory)
Couldn't the motherboard have something to do with it? I know the controller is integrated on die but that doesn't mean the motherboard has no influence. Trying a new CPU is an idea, but so is trying a new mobo which is probably the cheaper option.
if this memory wont work with the most popular overclocking motherboard on the market (DFI NF4 Series), then that is a big problem for OCZ becuase that OCer group is who will be buying PC4000 modules... To put it simply, 99% of OCers would probably keep their DFI boards and get different memory, which is what i will do if i cant get a set of these to 260.
That's fine but besides the point. We're trying to figure out the issue. If it's the motherboard, the CPU, or the RAM. Ditching the RAM and keeping the motherboard doesn't help us answer the question at hand. It hurts OCZ, but if DFI is the culprit then you're shafting the wrong party.Quote:
