i have the nforce driver 637 and 639. Can i just copy the ethernet drivers from 637 over to the 639, replace the new ones ? You SURE its the ethernet drivers which BSOD ?Quote:

OPP
IF u want to get 300 1T,plz set DRAM DRIVE STRENGTH to 6 or 7
You can manually change the driver through device manager, or if you havnt installed the package yet, you can run the 6.39 installer which (if its the same as the older ones) first extracts everything to (usually) C:\nvidia etcetc. Once its in the setup program, you cancel it and find your 6.37 ethernet driver and overwrite the ethernet driver in the 6.39 folder, then run setup.exe in the 6.39 folder.Quote:

Cheers.
ok, finally get my 1 gb corsair to scale without errors in cl 2.5.
I think this board drives ram much stronger than others because I can only use 2.6v and w fan blowing on top. ( bios 0201)
without the fan, memtest #8 would have errors over 2 to 3 pass...
finally can start to play w it after 3 days switching twinmos speed premium n tccds....
yes, for me DFI's 6.37's on their site work good.Quote:

Can anyone please post their BIOS settings for the OCZ 3200EL Rev.2s?
I agree with Uranium's post on the first page. I was disturbed by all the problems peeps were having setting up this board. I followed the "boot with one stick of RAM" (GSKILL TCCD) method in dimm "4". I loaded optimized defaults and saved and exited. After that I flashed the 2/01 bios and Dual Channel works great! I did a fresh WinXP SP2 install at default settings no problems. I loaded the new Forceware(6.39) and unlike some of the stories here, I have had no BSOD or crashes while surfing the net or benchmarking whatsoever.
This DFI LP works great. I only had a few hours to overclock last night, but so far I am prime stable at 290 FSB 1:1 2.5-3-3-7 . My voltages are maxed on Chipset/LDT and DDR is at 2.9V (on my Gigabyte SLI my Gskill only liked 2.7V! Go figure). My CPU is at 1.76V currently.
I also didn't experience the ethernet issue where you need to manually enter the MAC address. My ethernet (both ports) worked great with bios defaults and drivers loaded.
Tonight when I get home I'll post my A64 Tweaker settings, maybe that will help those with TCCD problems :)

P.S. with these exact voltages and setup besides the DFI LP MOBO, I am getting 10 MHz more on my FSB 1:1 and 110MHZ more in CPU speed. At the same voltages! (I had the Gigabyte SLI before - a good board also).
What kinda LDT, Chipset, and Vcore voltages do you need to achieve 270-290 FSB?
See my previous post. I have LDT/Chipset maxed out. VCore at 1.76V
Do you loose any stability if you ease back a little on the chipset/lDT voltages?
To tell you the truth, I am not sure. I only had a couple hours to bench. So I started high. I will check it out more tonight. As well as messing with the mem timings more. I can say this board gets the most out of your hardware than any other NF4 board IMHO. I have had the Asus and Gigabyte as well.

Good question. I've got the same RAM and right now it's running at 260 1T with a 3200+ winnie at 2.6GHz. I'm using 2.5-3-3-5 timings right now. This is my first A64 overclock so I'm kinda new to some of this stuff. Learning as I'm going. Quite fun, though. :)Quote:

Punch it up to 290 :D 2.6Ghz is really good for a 3200+ winnie :) What week / stepping winnie do you have? And what volt you running your winnie at? :DQuote:

I knew someone was going to ask me what week my cpu was. I knew what it was before I installed the XP-90, but I didn't write it down. Can I get it somewhere else or only on the chip? Right now my CPU volts are at 1.475.Quote:

Just about to install ultrad...If I wanna run with single pci-e vid. card, should I change anything on those 3 sockets between slots? And also will run tccd...should I use dimm2 and 4(oranges)? I Dont have the manual....Thanks guys.. :toast:
No and yes orange ones
Hmm, I can do 2.5-3-3-7 (everything else auto/default) @ 290MHZ no problems, and some people are doing 300, 310 :/Quote:

you have a very similar system to mine - may I ask what your chipset temp is, mine idles around 50-52C :/
Hmm, in regards to your RAM OC, have you got them in dimms 2 & 4? And just to be sure its not your cpu, decrease the multi to 7 :)
