DFI LANParty UT NF680i LT SLI-T2R - Mini-Review

[I)ickie]

Pedro,

I ran my memory in both the orange and yellow slots and checked bandwidth in Everest and SiSoft... here are my results.

*SNIP*

Comments:

• Strangely, I could not get the board to POST with the RAM running at 1T in the yellow slots.
• At 1100MHz running 2T command rate, there was no difference between the yellow and orange slots with my memory. What am I missing?
• Oddly, when switching RAM between slots, the board requires a CMOS clear to POST. Then after adjusting settings (loading from cmos reloaded profiles for example) and rebooting, it would hang on POST code #75 for 2 minutes before rebooting normally. I'm not sure why it does this, any thoughts?.
• 1T is marginally faster at 800MHz than 2T at 1100MHz (at least according to Everest... Sisoft Sandra has 1T slightly slower).

If the difference in 1T overclocking on the yellow slots is worth Tony saying something my guess is that there is some difference between the treatment of these pairs of slots and the chipset. This would explain the lack of boot in the yellow slots. seem to have lost the link but i too heard tonys statement about the orange slots being the ones to use for 1T. What do you think the chances are of running this board with 4x1gb at 1T?
