There were also a few ES Msi K8N Neo4 boards with the NF4Pro chipsets on them.....Quote:

well my board is almost 1 year old and the v-core is very stable....

but if i use a higher special-vid than it looks more like this:

but no problem cuz i usually don't need v-core above 1,6 v ;)

Well I'm testing out my AD0 now. The ITE chip that monitors voltages seems to monitor better. The boards voltages seem stable. On my AA0 SLI-DR when I used 1.4 * 104% I got 1.392 volts. Now I get 1.42. My 0530TPMW Opteron 170 is stable at 2.8ghz at this voltage. I will post back when I play with it a little more.
Also, the Capacitors are all black on this board instead of brown like on the older boards. Not sure if they are a different brand or something.
How is it possible to run OCCT on a duel core in order to graph the vcore voltage? You don't get a full load on both cpu's.
run occt 2 times at once?
i dunno :D

Tried that.. Didn't work. Ya, I thought you could do it just as you would Prime but not..
I wonder if the voltage flucuations are from the cores switching the workload?
Damn, I ordered from newegg and got a SLI-DR, but it's rev. AB0, looks like I'll go get an Expert:rolleyes:
Are AB0's better than aa0's. That's what I have.
My last board was an AA0 and was perfect.Quote:

you cant measure voltage stability with any software. My cpu bumps the voltage ~.-01 volts and the software doesnt have a clue. So dont even bother with OCCT for voltage stability.
You need a DMM (with chart recorder) or scope meter to see voltage stability.
:clap: :clap: I 100% agree.Quote:

Steven, I want to reinterate that we want that vtt mod, please.
Really?!?! I never knew that... (stupid me)Quote:

All the jumpers do is change the amount of PCI Express lanes going to each slot.Quote:

My case temp is 24, but smart guardian is showing idle at 21, wtf?? Load is 33-34. Is anyone else seeing this with the AD0 board? I'm wonderering if some of the changes to this board are also on the expert.
Hmmm. My idle temps are lower. Its pretty cool in here (window cracked its 50 degrees outside).Quote:

Same cpu on my old ultra-d (Rev.A02) idle was 30-31 and load was 42-43. I think the sensor is off 8-10 degrees.
I just picked up a board which was new stock to the shop (I know this as I had to wait in the shop for the owner to get the board from the distributor as he was out of stock). The sticker on the PCI slot shows R.AB0, the one on the Karajan module R.A00 and the layout of the Mosfets on the PCB are the same to that in the initial R.AD0 picture within the 1st post.
Whats the go with this board? I am tossing up whether to return it or not for a new revision (as it is still sealed) after hearing inconsistant reports within here of low HTT with R.AB0 boards and now with the hardware changes.
Is this a hybrid/mongrel board?
Do you think its an old RMA'd board with the hardware changes?
Do the Karajan audio modules have seperate revision codes as opposed to the motherboard?
What would you guys personally do if in a similar situation? I'am confused as hell and have only had intensive experience with the NF3 Ultra D (ref: sig).
The 3 changes with the mosfets, regulator and capactior have been done with the board, which I think are important, but I still do not understand why there is such an outdated revision number on the sticker (I doubt the disty had such old stock as DFI's have been selling like hot cakes since release in Aus).
Any information is appreciated :toast:
Could be the same as the AD0's with a new bios. As far as I know, theres only one revision of the Karajan audio module.Quote:

How well do you think this will stack up to the expert board?
