*****Official***** DFI NF4 ultra-D first look

Since it can't be found here in Spain (only pre-orders) I just ordered it from www.bytesatwork.be last night. Hope they come with good news on monday

oh man, my friend wants me to make him a computer, i could so easily sell him me 754 and get a ultra nf4, luckily he has to save money so AMR and E0 cores can come out, but i really want some new toys!

I did heard that the VX doesn't have the divider problem

with the MSI Neo4 MOBO.

But can anybody tell me if there is a divider problem with the VX and the

DFI NF4?

I just want to make sure there are not any problems. ;)

:confused: What d'Ya mean with divider problem? Using .5 multis on A64?

This is caused by memory controller and not by RAM......... :stick:

:toast:

i get always errors, when i run MEMTEST.
the gskill 2x512 LA runs with:
200mhz at 2-2-2-5 1T --> errors
300mhz at 2,5-4-4-8 2T --> errors

i also tested with prime with 200mhz at 2-2-2-5 1T
it runs perfect over 2 hours, but the i wanted to stop that test --> *boom* bluescreen.

wtf could that be?
the board?
the ram?
or me?
:rolleyes:

:D Did Ya try with 2.9 Vdimm? Mine are running stable with that voltage.

BTW MEMTEST sucks - after trying several hours to get a stable setting without errors the rig didn't even boot with it........... :cord:

i tried with max 2,8 (bios option)--> 2,85real
ok i will try it with 2,9 that should be 2,93 real
but i was a bit confused, that i get errors with 200mhz at 2-2-2-5

edit:
no, with 2,9vdimm i also got errors :eek:

No problem at all - taken on NEO2 but DFI NF4 has almost the same RAM slot position.... :toast:

Have you tried one stick at a time? Could be that you have a faulty stick?

so thats on the dfi right?
i saw the same thing on the msi k8n neo2 :mad: but after some bios changes i fixed it but then it wouldnt be stable above 220fsb even with 3.9v running trough mem :stick:

Where can i download the latest Bios for the SLI-D

I got the board and the stock Bios is 119 , someone can help me please ?

DFI taiwan site has them.

any word on how 2x512mb BH-5 Clocks?

id like to see 2x512 BH-5 at 3.3 and at 3.6 if someone could...

i´ve tried only one stick
the first stick passes memtest 3 times without errors
the second stick passes memtest 3 times without errors
then i tried both together in dual channel and i got errors.
so i decided to try both sticks in single channel
and voila they pass memtest 2 times without errors
now i´ll try both sticks in my shuttle in dual channel mode, if they pass , it must be the dfi board that makes the problems in dual channel mode :stick:

here you can download the beta bios ;)

which BIOS is it Patrick?! maybe it's BIOS update time! :D :D (IIRC, bigtoe did talk about improvements with RAM...)

i flashed to the newest bios 126

After reading all of this I have only one thing to say...

Thank God I didn't have the money to buy the A8N and will be able to go with the DFI!

Guys remember to flash to 126 straight away with your boards, it helps clocking a great deal.

omg, i want this board. :mad: when is zzf/newegg going to get it :(

Hunh? You mean its a seperate program attached to the bios file. Right? I guess I don't understand.
