well my original fatality that i experimented with is back from RMA. Looks like they sent me a new board as i marked the other one with an identification mark and this one is missing it.

Keep that in mind next time you see someone say vtt kills a64 mem controllers ;)Quote:

interesting bios 16 has seemed to revitalize my poor clocking sandy. so far 2500mhz 10x250 1/1 on bh-5 memory prime stable for 8 hours so far.
can you confirm that selecting max vdimm(3.4V) actually stays at that level now
were you the user who knew how to check vdimm and vcore volts on the motherboard with a multimeter

I noticed it a while ago just havent thought anything of it till now. When i set 1.4 in bios it gives me 1.411-1.425
Yes I have the same overvoltage... probabley just a reporting error from the mobo.Quote:

yah ill recheck volts with a multi but i do beleive it still undervolts a tad on memory and overvolts on cpu a bit.
can you tell me where the points are as i would like to check my one too

I believe its a 24 pin IC
bit lost can you mark it on a mobo shot by any chance...

ill be using ocz pc4000 vx gold... -- utt
abit more reliable and oc freindly. The abit an8 has some flaws but it will fixed in bios updates.
and i think the dfi nf4 series are too over-rated.
ive seen a lot of situation where the dfi nf4 boards kill memory and dying for no reason
gimme a day to post those test locations dino. ( running prime non stop past couple days hell of a load on comp.) Um in all honesty i think its really a matter of choice as far as which board you get. DFI seems to have its issues.....Abit seems to have its issues..........So if your a big fan of yellow go with DFI and if your a fan of red or reddish orange use abit.
kk...............hey mine is looping StressCPU since yesterday...

Another thing, should I plug the auxiliary 4 pin molex to the board, since I’m only using one graphic card?
I´m not running any oc.
My system consists:
Cpu: 3700+ SD
Mem: 2x512 ADATA TCCD
Mobo: Abit AN8 Fatal1ty SLI
PSU: Enermax EG465AX-VE (G) FN
All voltages are at default except for the DDR witch is at 2.7V, all voltages are reading fine.
My system temps are (I have WC in CPU and GPU):
CPU: 38ºC idle full load 43ºC
Ambient temp is around 31ºC
What’s the “HT Width” and what setting should I use?
Are you using 1T memory setting?Quote:

Well, that's the reason for shut downs. Use 2T with San Diego / Venice CPUs.Quote:

just leave that alone.
Thats pretty much what it comes down to, they are both good boards.Quote:
