No, the board has been shipped today and will arrive Wednesday, I hope to get the waterblock also in time........

My sticks of VX are going worse and worse...

Yesterday night they pass 720 loop of memtest #5, today they have some errors @260...

Maybe the memory controller of my winchester is going to burn???

(sorry for my bad english...)

I have the 24pin plus the molex plugged in near the chipset.

Do you think the Molex is important? You've been at this sort of thing longer than I have....

I just tried 2.5 3 3 8. No go even at 3.1 volts. Lots of errors in Memtest. Then no post on return to previous settings

But I fixed eventually, several CMOS clears + a battery removal later

Is there anyway to update BIOS through windows with this motherboard? (don't have a floppy drive)

I've tried (512mb)Corsair BH-6 as well as my (256mb)GSkill TCCD. I have no idea what to do now, i've played musical chairs with all the dimms and cleared CMOS several times!

RTFM

for dual channel use Slot 2 and 4, (OR, but might be flakey) Slot 1 and 3
Slot 2 and 4 are the orange/reddish ones. (not yellow)

Put ONE dimm only in Slot 2

---> NO slots 1 and 2 and NOT slots 3 and 4

Please read the manual its in there and this is essential.

sry..just read that later after i replied

What do you guys use to flash the board to the new beta bios if it doesn't post because of the tccd memory issue? I'm suppose to get an Ultra-D this week and I have 2 X 512 OCZ 3200 plat. rev.2. Thanks.

Use winflash. Do a google search. First hit. Very easy and intuitive.

Thanks but isn't Winflash a windows program? If you can't boot you need to flash before windows gets installed no?

**pudds** · 02-08-2005, 12:41 AM

It boots with one stick of memory just not two. Boot with one,flash,unplu,rest cmos, install 2nd.

So you actually boot and need to install windows with one stick then flash, clear cmos and install the 2nd stick?

i got the thing to run ! sounds stupid , but my "anubis / typhoon" usb 2.0 hub was it ! just changed with "cytronix" 2.0 hub and no more problems, except when you turn on usb devices during power on machine it hangs, can live with this

just one problem left with VX/BH5 @ high voltages

i love this board more & more

I posted this once to DFI-STREET.COM but Angry_Games replied like this.

i cant answer because i have only had my hands on a single 939 board (the nf4 sli)

So, I post it here too.

My friend CIMA did this amazing thing.

M/B:LANPartyUT NF4 Ultra-D
BIOS:201
CPU:Athlon 64 3200+ CBBID 0441MPMW
CPU Cooling:XP-90
Memory:TwinMOS PC3200 BH-6 256MB x2
VGA?ATI XPERT 98 PCI 8MB
HDD?MAXTOR 6Y80P0
PowerSuplly?Zippy-460WS
Vcore:1.51V / Vdimm:3.80V / Vio:3.46V
OS:Windows Server 2003

But, when he sets Trtw to 1, it maxes out at memory clock of 250 or so whatever Vdimm is.
With other boards, like Epox EP-9NDA3+, we can reach higher memory clock with Trtw 1.
Like this (By my friend New Beetle).

Could someone ask Oskar what's going on?
