I have my HDD plugged in all SATA slots and everything work fine. i can easily reach HTT330 stable without problems.

I have a dfi nf3 ultra-d with bios 2/17 an 2*512 Adata Vitesta ddr600....I can't be stable at 292mhz with mem....i've tryied 2.5-3-3-7 ,3-4-4-8... but nothing....after that with neo2 ram are rs @ 300 2.5-3-3-7 with 2.85v....now aren't rs with 3.1v .....what's happening? Please give me an help....How i had to configure alpha timings? Thanks already

Vdimm: 3,75V
3000+ winch

297 is no go :( for now, need to play a bit more, anyway 296@CAS2 is good.
Can anyone please explain me what bank interleave is? i get the same bandwidth with it enable or disable.

bugs are you cooling vdimm mosfets extra ? 3.75v :d

where to start with a SLI-DR and ocz plat 1 ram ?
we tried a 210 and it just locked up.
the memory timings we just can't figure out.....
anyone done a step by step guide that makes sense ?

Yep, everything is stock cooling, but have a fan throwing air on Vdimm mosfet and on RAM

i have this casual problem with VX
anything more than 3.3V causes errors in memtest.

tested mems at SC and first takes 3.5V with no problems
but anotherone starts making errors @ 3.4V

i can do only 237MHz in memtest without errors and it blows cause to windows i have to lover it down to 225MHz to get it stable

any fixes for this issue?

Hey Bugs, you might want to remove the heatspreaders off that HyperX. I did and got 4 extra MHz... the heatspreaders really suck, I don't understand why they put them on there...

Thanks for the tip, just didnt remove them cause lifetime warranty would be lost.
Anyway, maybe I´ll remove them and maybe I´ll could get 300 MHz @ 3,75V.
3,83V on mem didn´t help, so I feel mem is maximized, but with good timmings.
I´m playing with timmings atm, trying much combinations, my last system was nF2, on a NF7 so all this timmings to configure are new stuff to me :)
ppl with 2x256 bh5 feel free to post your timmings.
Thanks

Just realised x.5 CPU multis bug on memory freq.

Ny vx did it too, but after some burn-in, now they are stable until 3.5v, and they gave the best @3.8v, but @3.8 they give errors also @200 mhz!

So the ram was running 281.3 Mhz?

I thnk your guide is pretty darn good myself :)

I linked to it in the OCZ forums.

The 3200 Platinum Rev1 will not overclock much ove 210mhz without loosening the timings to 2.5-3-3 or 3-3-3. It has always been this way.

I'v used these mems about a week now and once runned 24h memtest 230MHz @ 3.3V so how long it takes to "burn-in" :confused:

your guide is great eva.......... we're just dumb i guess.
now we've got 210 with a 9 multi and it won't go higher.... at all
ram is 3-3-3-7.
ram voltage is 3.0 cpu 1.41 ish

Hi, I'm experiencing some problems when Ocing my system, it would be great if anyone of you could help me out. :)

The problems occur when i am going over approx. 2600mhz on my 3000+ Sometimes the sound card just "disappears", its gone from divice manager and will not "cooperate" with me. It sometimes work as high as 2640mhz and sometimes not, beyond 2640mhz it has never worked.

A similar problem occurs with my graphics card when I go above, somewhere in between, 2640mhz-2680mhz, it will sypply a picture, but it disappears from the system, and acts just like when no graphic drivers are installed. My cpu is stable up to above 2.7ghz so i dont think thats the problem. To begin with i suspected the pci-e bus lock to malfunction, but when I tried 333x8 the same problems I had on 296x9 appeared at the same cpu speed. I am currently running at 2629mhz as this appears to be ok, exept from my sound card (btw. the one supplied with the mobo, not a pci card) somtimes making trouble..

I find this problems odd, and would be extremely happy if someone helped me out. I apologice if this already has been solved somewhere in this tread, but im not keen on reading through all of it. Is it just my cpu thats not stabble? although it does not fail in occt or prime95. And btw my ram is at a 100divider , so i dont think the problem is my memory.

It sounds to me like a stability problem. If you are having CPU errors this can cause many strange things to happen. I have 3 CPU's and not one willl run past 2560mhz without becoming unstable.

Use memtest86+ (In BIOS on the DFI NF4) to test your CPU, memory controller and, memory for errors. Then use prime95 torture test or a similar stabilty program to see if your system is workable at those speeds.

I'm stable at this speed, but if i low the multi to 9 and the same setings the system get's unstable, if i low to 8 i cant boot to windows. I've tried memory dividers, 1T, 2T, HT3, HT2, PCI-Express 102 and Raptor in Sata3. When the PCI-Express it's 101 or 100, i lost my hard drive. Sometimes i lost conection with the usb chill control.
I think this sample have problems with PCI lock, i'm stuck at 28x HTT, 290 no go, with low HT, mem dividers, 1T, 2T. :(
What do you guys think about?
Thanks.

There is a new BiOS here _http://sj.dfi.com.tw/Upload/BIOS/N4D310.zip 310, someone check it :D
