Alright thanks man! I will give it a try...
I also see you have a mobile and the XP-120...did you have to mod yours in anyway for it to make good contact?

To be more realistic, 12x300 with mem 1:1 would be da bomb!Quote:

Come to think of what 12x300 would do... :slobber:
Now let's not turn this thread into a GF4 next gen hardware performance guess thread. :D
Yeh I sanded the base of the back plate (i guess that's what you call it)... I mean the thing the heatsink sits on.Quote:

What is your CPU clocked at? And you have a DTR right? 82-Watt? or the 62-Watt?Quote:

I'm still tuning her but last night I ran "Prime95 128k-4096k 10hours"/SuperPI 32MB/Sandra/MemTest and all were stable at 10x260 2-2-2-10-1T with 1.75vcore/3.3vdimmQuote:

I sanded it about half way down... but the way you know not to go too far is, keep trying to sit it flat on your board after every millimeter or so that you sand off (it will sand down very quickly). If you go too far, the two standoffs that come through the back of the board will be too long to fit in the two holes of the "backplate" so it will rock side-to-side... YOU DONT WANT THAT.
So sand down about a mm at a time, then check... if you go too low the "backplate" may also sit on some other small components around the socket... so jus keep an eye out for everything like that and you will be fine :)
Anybody have this board with 5.1 speakers and use the onboard sound?
Yes, works fine for me so far.Quote:

Something to me doesn't seem right....
Are you taking these readings from SmartGaurdian? or a probe?
I am going by BIOS...but nonetheless I tried my other CPU and going by BIOS readings they shouldn't differ that much even if the BIOS is off....unless it isn't reading the DTR right...is that possible? It doesn't make since to me at all. But a DTR should run cooler at the same clock speeds right? I am very confused on this.Quote:

if your case is filling up with really hot air you know somethings wrong if its all cool then it good
Well it differs at different times...I am unsure...and because I am unsure of the temps I don't want to take it much further. What are safe temps anyway? But I also do not have a probe I can use to check the temps.
put your hand on the heatsink.
If it is too hot to hold it there its running too hot.
No it isn't that hot. I think it is actually fine. I think something just isn't reading right. It seems to be very cool overall in there now. I am even running the side case window back on it and it is working pretty good now. I am going to try to overclock it to atleast 260x10.0 and 1:1 with the same settings in my sig except alittle more voltage on the core.
i just downloaded the last ut nf3 250 beta bios and I made bootable disk with the format tool of windows. I treid to flash the bios but when i run:
awdflash bios.bin
it starts up a program which is going to backup my current bios and at that point the flash utility won't go any further
What should i do ?
:stick:
flash from windows with WinFlash
so, are there any new information about the new winner of DFI? :D
Can someone tell me where to measure VDimm on this board please?
I have a feeling my 3.4v setting is giving around 3.32v under memtest load...
backside of the large mosfet in top right corner of board (above dimm slots).
Cheers dude, can you tell me what pin?
The backside.
There is no pin, its the back... just the base of metal you can see.
Cool, I know what you mean. I'm actually thankful it is that part... less chance of my clumsy hands shorting two pins together.Quote:

can someone please link the bios update with memtest86 and 4.0vdimm for this board:help:
