DFI NF4 R.AB0 roll call [revision AB0 OCers post!]

[Daved+]

We are wondering if this is a bad revision for the DFI NF4's. Dani had a bad experience with his R.AB0 mobo:

My first DFI nF4 Ultra-D had revision R.A02 , did +370HTT easy
My second Ultra-D was R.A03, did'nt try more than 350HTT, was Prime95 stable
Third Ultra-D, R.AB0 did only ~320HTT after many trys (just ones SP1M trough)
Now my SLI-DR with R.AA0 can do at least 350HTT Prime95 for hours

And I can only do 293HTT stable with my R.AB0 Anything higher will give me round errors on Prime.

Please post your experience!

I had the AB0 revision but i didn't have to much time to play with it. Mobo died after a month without reason, while i was into the BIOS.
I got a A02 from RMA and i don't have any problems with it. Since i haven't tried his max HTT yet, at least is rock stable 320 1:1.

[oasked]

Where's it give you this code on the board?

[BioPC]

You will find it writed on a white sticker in one of the slots.

[oasked]

Got a R.A02 here, no problems with at least 300FSB, haven't tried higher - yet!

Damn, you have a 0517APAW too and you're running it at 2808Mhz

What rev is your mobo?

[Sloppy]

Not yet, actually wont be till monday probally. Some parts are on back order

[eva2000]

just checked...it's AB0

Holly s*... Have you tried going for a higher HTT? That's 312, isn't it? and the R.AB0 are supposed to do 320HTT.

BTW, would you mind posting your settings? BIOS shots would be awesome but anything else will do just fine anyways. I want them to OC my 0517 the same way. TIA!

[Supertim0r]

my bios settings are "standard"

this is stable so far @ 360fsb

I upped the vcore to be sure cpu isn't a stability factor

[Zeus]

So, R AB0 not doing any high HTT doesn't hold ground?

I just got a bit worried as mine is R AB0 as well.

I'll report in soon as i've had the chance to mess around with it.
My new Gskill will be here today.

Great, what is your divider -- is the RAM 1:1?

[Monge]

Daved+: Did you try another bios with your rev.?

[Oden]

Yes, could you guys please post your bios versions as well. Few days ago I received the RB.00 revision, I will test bigtoes bios since I'm limited to ~290 FSB doing 1:1 with my 2 x 512Mb GSkill PC4800LA nomatter what timings. With my previous RA.02 revision I did (see sig.) 24/7.... I'll report back to y'all

Is there any visible difference between your old R.A02 and the new R.B00?

[politenessman]

all revisions are exactly the same so far. the rev number just refers to the bios chip it was shipped with. i found this out when i got my ultra d back from rma and it had a new rev number written in with ball point pen, so i called and asked tech support. you can also check this out at dfi street.

-edit- i just saw the above post about rev b**. this may be a newer board.


very truly yours,
