I luv watching the hysteria when new hardware hits a few bumps:)

Heh, too bad I paid my pre-order 2 months ago. If there's problems theres no way im risking my 57, ill borrow a 3000 from work to test it out on :D

Well hopefully OPB can figure out what exactly caused the cpu's to be kia, and that its either a simple mod or bios update

Preview:

As far as I just talked to Oskar tonight, I was kinda surprised that he give me the hint that
the memory timings for expert board and focus have been totally changed. Consequently,

for those who are kinda lazy to find the best setting by just copy all from old nf4 series, you

will be sorry I promise you.:D especially the TCCD users;)

So what has been changed? yes, it all about "driving strength", you gotta try every setting

bios have. It might take some time to find the best setting.
So I ask oskar, what would be the key point about all the ram section tune up?
"It's all up to Vdimm".
He told me that answer I really believe that!!
" For the Vidmm on the old nf4 series, which is abnormal that specially tune up for TCCD so

that cause problem for other types of ram. Therefore, I was thinking about the balance

and adjust something back! After carefully concern, still gave TCCD up (:D)

So, Oskar's conclusion is :

If you have BH/CH/UTT or even other types RAM, there is no surprised that

you will get higher performance or some more FSB than previous DFI nf4 board.

That's it? NO..:D, the other hint is Vcore WILL be more stable than old NF4 series as well.
(not just little amount of stable;))

what about for extremely overclocker's concern, cold bug? Thank you for Tony's

suggestion,however, Oskar has no such crazy cold cascade can try. and I will give that a

try .

** Stay tune for next few hours about compatibilty and bios setting tune up bench.**

OPB

Hi, OnePageBook, :D
I'm glad to see how the Vdimm performs, NF4-D's Vdimm is unstable at 3.8V and above :p:

so the new revision board from dfi looks like it has a large stomach for cpu's.

:slapass: :nono: this is not good at all, if it continues like this then i will have to wait for m2 (dont want n00bish layout of an8-32 sli).

i realy hope this can be sorted out soon, my rig is so slooooooooooooow. :(

hope OPB and WWM can get some luck with these dark problems...

Tony says he's rotated in about 3 CPU's so far and has had no problems, although he also says that he always sets manual vcore, which could be the fix to the problem..

Here's his post:

Ouch. I thought they improved the power design on this board? :( Evidentally not.

I know this is about the SLI-DR Expert, but with my DFI RDX200, I feel like a beta tester :(

Sorry to hear you lost two CPUs, OPB. Luckily mine isn't dead just yet.
