DFI looks to have a winner here.

[Tedinde]

For some the DFI might be a winner, but the one i got is not good at all. If i try to run 2.9vdimm or more, its unstable. With 2.8vdimm i can do 255 3-3-2-6, but with 2.9 or 3.0v i cant even run Super-pi 1M. 3.1vdimm gives me BSOD if i try to run 240 or higher.

Im using a OCZ EB 3500Platinum, and its working just fine on KV8Pro and K8NS.

SmartGuardian reports; 3.15v (3.3c) 4.8 (5v) and 11.8 (12v) but my multimeter reports 3.4, 5.3 and 12.4v (From molex and aux)

Im a bit dissapointed.

One or two others here in Norway have the exact same problem.

I've seen most of the problems with My MSI NF3 and others mostly because of Memory when they finally tracked it down and switched to different sticks. I've got 4 sets of BH5's here. 2 sets my MSI and DFI absolutly hate and the board wont overclock with a dam when they are in.

It drove me crazy at first. And the last thing i would've suspected was my good BH5's that easily do 265fsb 1:1 @ high volts in all of my IC7's, IS7's AI7's, Asus 800C's, And 240 1:1 in my AMD XP rigs all @ 2-2-2. I refused to belive i had a memory problem. I even sent back my First MSI 250 K8 Neo board. And got another one and had the same problems. I couldnt get past 225fsb 1:1 or even using memory dividers and dropping back to 166 or 133!!!


Then for the hell of it i stuck in my Geil PC4200's and dam if i couldt hit 300fsb 1:1 out of the board, And yes i have screenies if you need me to find them. Then i pulled my 2x 256 BH5's out of another rig and the MSI loved them 260 1:1 all day long @ 2-2-2 settings. Seems my MSI board didnt like 512 sticks!!!

a month ago i ordered Crucial Ballistix PC3200's and some Ballistix 4200's which by the way are the same sticks just the 4200's cost more but the same chips underneith, They just set up the SPD different. Thse sticks will do anything you want them to, If you want low latency 3200's or high latency 4200, just set the timings, This is all around memory.

222 up to 240fsb, 2.5-2-2 up to 270fsb and set it @ slack 2.5-3-3-7 up to 300fsb. I've bought 5 sets of the ballistix in the last month for mine and customers computers. This is the New BH5's in my book. Way cheaper and faster than my beloved and expensive Corsiar which i'll never buy again now.


Here's my smart Guardian PIC's. Im pretty sure it's reporting the CPU temps wrong!!! but my PS is untouched. I was thinking about using a Antec 3700 Case on top of the LS, but i guess i stick with the one that fits the best and everyone uses and seems to love the Lian Li 65's. Anyone looking for Cheap Antec Cases, Ebuyer.com has Antec slk3700's for $52 plus only $7 shipping. Im sure you all know these cases are usually $85 plus shipping everywhere, and when newegg sells them for $65 they sell out. Just about all Antec cases @ ebyer are in the $50's. I bought 8 SLK 3700's and stocked up!!! You'll spend that much on a generic case after you put a good power supply in it.
