Chaintech NF4, board installed!

[trans am]

Ok, i'm back. tried lower multi absolutely no gains in htt. This is not good right now. I'm glad I didn't install this in a case, because I would've really been doing a lot of work for nothing. Time to contact chaintech and hope to get someone on the phone. There is not much support from anyone around this time of year, but we'll see. Chaintech skipped nf3 ultra 939 all together, so maybe they need to learn a thing or 2 about 939 first. I wish there was a decent PCI-e 939 board. ATI maybe holds the key to this one. Gonna just stay on the ol' DFi 754 for now until things clear up. Good luck everyone.

Gigabyte?

Looks solid so far from JNav's first tests.

And misterroadster's.

What about ASUS? Looks promising in that new BIOS thread....

I don't know man, after 2 k8ns ultra boards and 2 msi neo2's I'm not that eager to order either of their nf4 boards. But that could change really quick if chaintech doesn't fix these issues.

My K8NXP-9 will be here on thursday. I'll post some results.

No Bios update will get you from 220 to 300, that is only wishful thinking expecting unlikely. RMA it, keep in mind that in every chipset 90+ % of the motherboards are mediocre or just bad. This is just one of such boards.
I remember Chaintech for a long time, only 150 was their first exceptional motherboard. Gotta wait for DFI, Epox or new MSI to see if they make something worth spending $100+.
