new DFI NF4 beta bios

[Tony]

Been testing this one a few days, it helps with VX and BH5 etc as the bios addresses some drive strength issues we found.

Grab the bios here this is the 3.25.

Please don't hammer my FTP...spread the love and help hosting Read down, a few guys are hosting the file also now.

I posted this on DFI- Street and the OCZ forum, take note of it, with this bios it matters.

In bios you have 2 options for drive strength, first off im going to address Dram Drive strength options Auto to 8.

If you leave the option at Auto this will set a weak drive strength, this is good for TCCD based modules but bad for anything else. From testing and debugging the board i have concluded the following.

Options 1 3 5 7 are all weak, as is Auto,setting 1 is actually the weakest option with 7 being as close to the normal weak setting DFI will allow us.

Options 2 4 6 8 are the Normal settings, with 8 being the highest strength setting.

If you are using TCCD you may want to try 3 5 or 7 as the drive settings as they usually seem to allow the modules to clock well.

If you are using VX, or the new BH Gold, or any other modules from the OCZ range you may want to try 8 or 6.

Im waiting for confirmation from DFI on this info, from my testing this does seem pretty accurate.
