    It says it adds stability to the baord, so why not?

    Right now I got my winnie at 250x9, but I want to check something before I go further. Does anyone else get ridiclously low CPU temps? I'm at 250x9 with 1.425vcore and I'm idling 30c with stock heatsink. Ambient temp is 65 F. Also my chipset temp is 40c, when it this too high?

    1.425 vcore idle @ 30c sounds right on.

    Does the Corsair 3200XL Pro suck with this board?
    I havent seen any results.. except AMDnewbies results...

    I wouldn't think so, I think Corsair 3200XL v1.2 (i think its 1.2) is on the new brainpower pcb - I'm sure it'll scale pretty well, just that OCZ/G.Skill have better chances of reaching high speeds

    I got my DFI nForce 4 Ultra-D 2 days ago, but haven't tried it until yesterday. Now I can't get it too boot, while everything works on my Gigabyte K8NF-9. The thing is I'm using a PCI video card now (Voodoo 3), cause I'm waiting on a X850XT PE.

    Does anyone know, or can anyone test if this board works with a PCI card.

    Try doing a Cmos clear. I could not get mine to boot either until I did.

    I did a CMOS clear, with the jumper, I'll try and get the battery out tonight, but I'm not sure if it's mobo or PCI card related, if it's not PCI related I might have gotten a faulty board....

    hi

    im using old sis 8mb pci card, works fine for me. had first some problems to boot cause sticked mem to wrong slot. dual channel belongs to the red slots, single channel to the red slot more away from cpu. what shows the onboard led ? does the pci card work in other machine ?

    PCI card works on my other mobo, all 4 leds are burning, and I get no sound from the speaker, I enabled it with the jumper, mobo's DOA I guess...

    Exclamation To all Dfi Nf4 Bh5/VX Ram Users!

    please can confirm somebody running BH5/VX rams on the NF4-DFI with 3.4v or more voltage on non PR-board ???
    me and an other user having problems with higher voltages on that ram results in mem-test errors on the "same" adress, what is un-typical for overclocked ram. on other users machine the errors disapear when lowering mem voltage. on my machine one of the mushkin bh5 starts to get errors on same adress when i set to 3.4v. but mine even apears when lowering voltage , looks like it somehow broken. i really would like to know experience from other users, cause dont wanna kill my fresh RMAed-VX kit.
    my theory is that the mem controller of my 3000+ which reach 2.65Ghz prime stable is weak and somehow killed my mushkin . sorry for bad english

    Yeah, the orange ones 2&4 are dual channel, but I also tried all the other slots...Also tried running with 1 stick only, nothing helps though.

    my memory works fine with 3.5 or 3.6v

    The problem IMHO is the memory controller.
    it is @ 0.13 or 0.09 and it doesn't work fine with 3.5v or more.

    the mobo doesn't matter...

    yeah, mine respond best at 3.2v opposed to my previous 3.5v

    Mine does that every once in a while, especially when going into the bios. Have you manually set your nvidia MAC address in the bios? Mine stopped saying that AFTER I manually set the MAC (don't ask, don't know why its not automatically set in the bios like every other board I have ever owned was!?!?)

    Okay, found some very interesting and weird things tonight with my system. If you recall, I mentioned back on page 1 I believe about needing 3.1v on the G.Skill LE TCCD to pass Memtest #5&6, and to get the board to boot. Well, tonight after reading over at DFI-Street with 1 of the guys board having issues running test #8, I thought I give it it a try. Well, guess what? 3.1v errored out almost instantly. Than, I tried running SuperPI 1m and it errored always between test 13-16. Remembering OPB's settings and him using 2.6v, I tried that and whala! Memtest passed #8 looping for over 40 minutes. It was always failing in test #8 at 756mb and 9?? meaning it should be my module in bank 4 (correct?). I swapped modules around to see if I could get it fail in bank 2, but the same address failed again. Apon further investigation, I noticed that dimm slot 2 get plenty of blowoff air coming from the XP120 and 120mm fan, but slot 4 gets hardly any. Looking through the XP120, you can see slot 2 through the fins of the heatsink, but not slot 4. If we could use slots 1 & 3, it would get more airflow off the XP120. I don't think the Zalman's would have this problem as their design is radial. For those looking into air cooling, you might want to take a look at either the 7000 or 7700 instead of the XP120. I really do think that your memory slots will get better airflow with them, compared to the XP120.

    For those wondering, I was able to swap memory positions just fine without taking off the XP120. I had plenty of room to get the G.Skill LE's out and back in!
