With the 414-3 bios I'm running Prime stable (over night) @ 280*10 1T....Quote:

Well I am in a dilemma now. I've already changed my memory from ocz plat rev2 to ocz gold 4000 VX(my local retailer claimed dfi highly recommends the gold mem and wanted him to sell it as a combo) But now from what I have heard there are some issues with the dfi sli-dr mobo and this venice chip also (is it a dfi issue or a venice one?)
My 3800 venice is still on pre-order through ncix. I am thinkin about cancelling it and waiting for the san diego core(or maybe go with a winnie?). Anybody with a setup like mine up and running with good oc'ing on cpu & mem? Any advice would be appreciated.
I'll be back after my 4 hours of sleep.

Yup, but this one didn't work for me though... :confused:Quote:

I have a similar problem, although I have managed to get WinXP stable now @T1 with 414-3 bios, WinXP-64 trips over its own ass and reboots itself at T1 (T2 works perfectly). This goes for stock speeds and timmings too, so its not an overclocking issue.
Oh and memtest, prime95, superpi all run no problems @307mhz T1 so I know the system is stable. Wierd. :confused:
try reading this thread over at dfi street:

try setting your DRAM Drive strength to 3
Thanks for the tip man, but its not helped this time. I also tried the 316 Bios but no go.
I have noted the following though:
1. Problem only happens with T1 (even at stock)
2. Problem only happens with WinXP-64
3. After the PC blue screens and reboots, the PC looses the raid array for a short time. Also at the moment of reboot, there is a click noise from the PC.
4. If I select safe mode, the PC boots into Win64.
I'm kinda thinking that it might be dodgy nVidia 64bit Raid drivers.
Does anyone have Win-64 on an Nforce4 raid array? If so do you have problems running T1?
Where can you get XP-64 right now? is it still the beta dl if so can I have link...

This is typically a memory crash issue. When I overclocked my last few CPU's too much, the same *clicking* appeard. This time it will probably be related to the 1T issue with current Venices and currunt BIOS's. Don't think it has anything to do with the drivers. Sorry but I cannot test stabilty @ Win64. 1T running only works for me @ 414-3 bios. Tested up to 295MHz 1:1 :)Quote:

I was expecting problems with it, but not like this...I can't make up my mind if its software or hardware
:confused:
I still have my 3200 winchester lying around, so I guess i could throw it in and see if the problem goes away. That would answer my software or hardware question wouldn't it?
Only thing is I got it on water and its a right pain in the ass to swap CPUs :p:
Oh what the hell, I'll try it, it will drive me instane if i dont...i'll post back results later if anyone is interested.
i emailed DFI and they said the 3/10 supports the Venice as it is not a new core persay but a new stepping from D to E Email below

meh this sux reading all these venice problems =(
Right, its not the CPU, or its not for me anyway. I tried my old 3200+ winchester and Win64 still reboots itself on startup @T1 (again T2 was fine).
So I'm thinking again that is a driver, esp as it boots in safe mode @ T1.
Thinking that it was probably the nVidia raid drivers I hooked up an IDE 80Gb Seagate and tried again, for IDE I dont have to give windows any drivers in the setup.
It still blue screens and reboots :(
Conclusion...Win-64 sucks...damn it MS :slapass:
