Thread stuck, thanks for the clarification.

just use the orange for 2 dimm overclocking

if i use orange (2x512) its no problem,
but i want to use 4x512 2T,
like my ultra-d, it can do 4x512 2T 247MHz 3.23v (a pair geil one bh5 and a pair gskill gbgh)
using expert on 200Mhz 1x512 on yellow wont boot,
i dont understand why it called expert if my ultra-d OC-ed better then expert (2x512 bh5 2-2-2-5 1T 3.23v on ultra-d(yellow or orange) i got 245Mhz, but on expert on orange(cause yellow doesnt work) only got 242MHz)

note : I need expert cause I use raid5

Thanks Tony it all makes sense now

When will the new DFI CFX-3300 For AM2 arive ? I cant wait to get one so i can trow my A8R32 Disaster board out of the window.

the CFX3200-AM2 is due out about the same time as conroe, so i hear from DFI.

the CFX-3300 was a mythed up name it seems, or maybe the next revision that isnt due for a while.

CFX3200 for socket 939 is fubared. Has horrible problems with RAID or sata drives. thanks to the ULI southbridge from nvidia.

Used a few 512 ballistix 3200 and almost ddr 600 @ 3 3 3. I was @ 299FSB on 2 of the sticks but no matter what would not boot at 300 I tried about 4 sticks and most reached 290's minimum.

Nice post... need for AM2 and conroe now

I loved the Ultra D

Tell me about it.... that conroller stink! Random hangups is a part of my daily basis... got some help with installing drivers in xp-install instead of when install was done, but anyway, that controller is really rotten!

FIXUP: For the 2nd time in six months I actually managed to get the freeze s*HIT to disappear! Had to first install with regular driver, then in windows update to a beta driver for ULI. Installed x64 bytheway, not XP.

This thread reminds me: I wish so bad DFI would make a real 680 SLI board...

[non]

i hope in upcoming nforce7 series DFI will make at least 1 model

[ZL1Killa]

well lets see what DFI can do with this new 790fx board ; hopefully it will be worthwhile

I'm with ya there...
Although the 790X/FX seems to be a decent board, we won't really know how good it is until we see some competition.

I've always liked Nv chipset boards for the most part..

I'm STILL running my Ultra-D..... buggy cold bootin mofo that it is!!

When it boots(most of the time, unless I change ANY hardware at all- that's a damn nightmare of clearing and praying)- it runs great..
I try not to change hardware on this board.... luckily, I am not putting anything new in it anymore!!

C'mon Nv,release the 780a !!!
