    I have been running this board with 3.4 or 3.5 volts since I got it in feb. I do have a fan over the ram and one over the corner of the motherboard. I game for hours, record from tuner card for hours, run prime overnight, memtest overnight, ( always trying to get more out of it ) I have had no problems whatsoever. I don't see how dfi would give you this option if it were not ok to use it.

    I was running mine at 3.4-3.6 for days at a time...no problem the mosfet was reaching upwards of 120 deg c...so it IS hot...it MUST be a 175deg c fet as at 3.6 it makes it run WAY WAY to close to the 125 deg thermal limit...I am planning on changing the HS and the chip that is up and to the left of it gets in the 100 deg c range also I plain on cutting a has so that it cover them both then putting a mini blower on the to keep them cool...as I am going to have SUB 0 ram here and 4v will pretty much be a given through my UTT...so…it is going to need some other type of cooling then stock…I plain on holding the hs on with AS epoxy…

    But in truth anything over 3.5 volts need some better passive cooling or stock with at least a fan on it.

    Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but do any of you know how to get a VDIMM=5V railmod going? My BH-5 is a hair's-breadth away from DDR600 (DDR550 @ ~3.5V, CPU limited on my soon-to-be-replaced 754) but I would need 4.2-4.3V to do it reliably.

    I'm switching to NF4/939, so I will definitely get/modify an NF4-D or Ultra-D.

    Hello Guys,
    Something disturbing I have noticed concerning possible another voltage issue, based on my own, and a few local's experiences....

    See thread here: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18416

    Is it possible Saaya/OPP or one of the Mods create a new thread for this, as I am not allowed?

    Thanx,
    MrBean.
