I think I will be fine for the one Oskar sent me on the way,I don't wanna rock the boat why expert thing turn out to be like that. Oskar has done his best.:D

But it kind of sucks to loose 4-way bank interleave that way as it makes up for that 2T a bit. But If Expert does 300Mhz without the need to disable BI then it's a really nice touch ;)

Nope.:D
Buddy, think about the other way:D

@Bachus:

BUT, I did enable the bank interleave when I run 4dimm UTT ATM IIRC. :p:
So disable B.I. might be the key in terms of running that on TCCD 4 dimms. ;)

Sorry, one more Q... Do you know If that Oscar Wu's screenshot from Expert is with or without BI?

OPB i feal sad for you, my cpu was only 200€ but it doesn't mather.

its a cpu that SHOULD work instead of KILLED by Dfi branded mobo:)

3200+ opteron died here with the dfi RDX

OPB I am very sorry you lost two great chips :( and am happy that you will have replacements on their way.

You being a great friend hows testing my chip out on cascade when time comes :fact: ?If you want of course. You are great :toast: Thanks for everything you have done for the oc'ing community bro :buddies:

If my loss can just save you guys cpu, then it's worth for that.
just feel bad about that 4600+..hope my new buy 4400+ rcoks.:D

Unless Oskar has reworked the who board to be totally different to the RDX200 9~15 may over drive the dimms. Now i know a ton of components have been changed so i now feel we need to know if he has reversed the drive resistors.

As far as im concerned 1 to 8 suits 2 dimms, evens are normal drive odds are week, 8 is strongest and 2 is weakest just the same as 7 is strongest and 1 is weakest.

Now from 9 to 15 im unsure as Oskar keeps this a secret, but to hit 4 dimms 1t i had to run 15 on the RDX which would mean thats maximum drive. Now if you know how to enable maximum drive you would know that certain resistances have to be switched.What we need to know is how he is switching them so we can advise people on how to overclock.

I will be asking Oskar this, we need answers on this.

Hey mentor,

I believe that 4dimm DDR600 2t is set to driving strength as 9

** be sure you check the date of the bios he use.;)

So now what's the deal if my Expert is a dud? I'd sure like a replacement CPU and board if things turn into an AMD BBQ.

Is there any confirmation on the rumor that boards shipped to monarch have been recalled?

Since no other e-tailer offers them and DFI probably doesn't have an exclusive contract with monarch that makes me wonder.

Well, it's pretty much never AMD's fault. I really want someone else to get back in the game. If OC'ing wasn't priority one in a motherboard, I know I personally wouldn't be using a DFI anymore. My old-school DFI NF4 Ultra-D, won't even hibernate, it just shuts off. So my computer is just set to never fall asleep. Cool Eh?

My Oldie Infinity had cold boot issues long after they were claimed to be fixed. If someone got back in the game, like Abit or something, I think I'd mount my DFI's to my wall with a very large dagger.

You know, in fact, I think they've lost a customer. Screw 'em. I'll just get something else regardless of what's on the orb.

sorry to hear that your CPUs was killed, OPB..

although one of my friends who got this board already said that is not good as previous LP, but I still may have a try of Expert mobo in this one two days~
hope i will get a better experience. ^^

Maybe so but you take the chance of killing your CPU (not to mention voiding the warranty :rolleyes: ) every time you go on an OC'ing adventure

I like most others here use DFI simply because they DO overclock better than any other board (for an experienced OC'er) on the market ATM, so please remember, this is Xtreme Systems here and in the quest for a few more MHz there will always be casualties :)

the expert killed the cpu(s) before it even has a chance to post on stock speed, that sucker fried the chip as soon as it power up!

this mb is weird .. yesterday i was running 2820 (12x235) at default voltage on my opty150 .. occt stable .. 32m stable .. prime stable .. so today i started messing around with volts to see how high i could go .. and for some reason on this board i can get any higher ..i didnt mess around though with ram settings or drive strength or anything .. just running 3-3-3-8-1t which on my sli-dr i had no problems running 270fsb ..

anyways so i give up and illw ait for the next bios .. so i put back my settings to 12x235 default vcore and BAM .. no stable .. fails occt .. prime .. and fails 32m pi after like 3 sec ..

i just dont get it .. i love the layout .. but the rest of this board just sucks right now

could it be that im running a 4 pin and not 8 ?? according to pcp&c they said i would have no problems running just a 4 pin on this motherboard .. but who knows

I don't think the 4-pin is an issue.

The main problem, however, is that you are treating the board like an SLI-DR when BigToe has gone on record several times stating that the two boards will clock very differently. I think you should be willing to re-learn the bios before you make any conjectures about the board.

I think the point he's making is when he finished his overclocking he returned the board back to the previous tested good settings but it failed to work.

There has to be something not right if one day it works then another it doesn't at the same settings.

I'd just like to add that I just got the Expert and my shiny new Opteron 170 0530TPMW chip.

I was not happy after reading about what happened to you, and I was going to wait until I got my GFX card before I set it all up, but I had to know if my setup would work. I listened for the high pitched noise as was explained and heard none, so I put my CPU in.

Works great to my relief, and 2.7 ghz somewhat prime stable (no errors yet anyway after 30mins) with both cores going at
1.475v and the stock heatsink the cpu came with some help with another fan.

My ballistix PC4000 ram doesn't go past 250, its rated speed without getting errors in memtest. I've heard other people have problems getting ram to OC as high as before. Of Course I know next to nothing about OCing DFI boards, so I'm sure I can go higher with the ram once I get to know how the bios works.

Still, I'm happy. And sorry to hear about your chips. There's nothing like losing something that can't be replaced.

Difference

Can anyone tell me the difference between the old DFI mobo and this new one. I know the old one was riddled with problems but overclocked quite nicely.
Thanks
11-13-2005, 02:56 PM
wolfmyst

I never had older DFI boards, just the expert. But I do know it shares some of the components with the recently introduced and problematic crossfire DFI board. There is more space in between the x16 SLI slots for better cooling when using 2-slot coolers. It has supposedly better power regulation for the CPU. Also, something that I don't care about, is that it can run 4 sticks at 1T. I'm sure there are other changes, but I don't know a great deal about the older DFI Nforce4 boards.

11-13-2005, 03:57 PM
wolfmyst

Unless there's smoke or a noise, it's difficult to know that the CPU was just killed. I'm sure he just thought that he forgot to attach something, or maybe it wasn't compatible with one cpu for some weird reason. I probably would have tried another CPU too if I couldn't figure it out. I feel bad for AMD, because they're having to deal with RMA's that weren't their fault. I know people send stuff in because they overvolt/forget to put paste on, but in this case I'm sure Onepagebook is not to blame, and DFI is. DFI should pick up the tab here. I hope for DFI that this is just an isolated incident. I'm sure they are not happy at the moment since a lot of people are not going to buy their boards now because of this, and the crossfire problems.

Oh I know, I have had to lick my wounds before my friend. If I overclock and burn something out, I do not turn and blame anyone else, or do i look to exchange parts I know I screwed up... In Fact, just this week I killed a CABNE Opt. 150 that was stable at 3405mhz when i took the IHS off (done it many times, never had a problem before, no visual damage to the CPU... *sigh*)

But if i plug in a brand new board, and try to boot it at stock speeds, and it melts my CPU, I would have every right to be pissed off, especially if DFI does not replace the board AND the CPU.

Now my Expert is running very happily at the moment, but I did take my good CPU out, and put in a crappy one... just in case....

Sorry for your 2nd and 3rd major loss.

Funny how people forget the issues the SLI-DR had when it was new. (Most people would agree it is a great board now...just not perfect. ;) ) I hope the issues with the RDX200 and Xpert are just teething issues..... very expensive teething issue for some. :(

I have a very poorly clocking 3700+ that is perfect for the job of guinea pig, if it survives then it will go into a computer I make for my gf, if not, oh well

Hey OPB, I have a question.
Tcl 1.0 on Expert is just like Tcl 1.5 on the old NF4.
What's going on?
Also, which is faster Tcl 1.0 or 2.0?

I heard about Oskar told me, cas1.5 will be real but not for cas 1.0
cas 1.5 is unreal for old nf4 series, it's way slower than 2.0;)

but the fact that a defective board shipped out that killed two cpu's worries me.

but anyhow, it does seem like a lot of other people have had a lot more luck, and no casualties yet, i think it's still too early to really make a call on the matter ;)

OPB, did you buy that board or was it a DFI sample sent to you?

Still trying to figure out what Monarch is shipping and the relation to your experience.

Maybe the board is running so well he has gone on a benching orgy and has not come up for air.

Yes, it really faster and more stable than old nf4 series.
especially in terms of BH/CH/UTT

I forgot to show the vdimm, it can easily using 3.09v

Damn, Kevin, you have some balls :D What if this board suddenly also was a cpu killer? :slap: :D

P.S. Send the Opties out, I want to play with them as well ;)

Man, I want to buy the expert board right now cuz I need another NF4 board.

I heard talk of CPUs being fried. I also saw the note on the first page. Is that the only check we need to do right now? Also, how many ppl have fried their CPUs.

First page updated:

TCCD DDR610 dual super pi 8m action and a64tweaker.
the cpu frequcy showing on the mbm5 is wrong**

@ mrlobber, One of the opty is defective, so I need to call MWAVE for replacement because that's damaged during shipping.;)

crazy BH-UTT i say! i must say, i'm glad nothing bad happened. i remember the last time i went to go play with some memory, said i would be back in about a half hour, took an 1:30.. always multiply the stated time by 3 :toast:

what's your previous max on that TCCD with 2.5-3-3?
