dfi nf4 cold boot problem

[cadaveca]

My AO2 board has issues running UTT @ stock timings(2.5-3-3-8), 2.5-4-4-8, 2-3-3-7 2.5-3-3-7, 2-3-2-6, 2-2-2-8. only runs them @ 2-2-2-6 3.1v and above, no matter which bios. I've checked OCZ, corsair, kingston, UTT CH-. This issue is definately not bios or ram related, at least on my board. It's very funny, as i refuse to pull out a stick, even though i never run in a case for the first month or so with a system.

over the past few days, i;ve tried every bios, tested each stick of ram, and repeatedly i run into the exact same instability from a cold boot. It can be as minor as a couple of errors in test 8 or test 6 of memtest, or at worst 100's even during test one. reboot a few times, errors will dissappear. Almost feels like the caps are dispersing thier charge, or are not capable of holding enough juice for boot for most users, but this does not explain the instability that i get at 2.65v and 2.5-3-3-8, which all of these winbond based ic's should be capable of...and are, in other boards.


so the only question for me remains, is how do i get a new board faster? RMA direct to DFI, or to supplier?

try the bios 702.2 it stopped getting cold boots for me, running for 1 week no problems, bios 702.2, yellow slots,vdimm 3.2v

Since this thread has gotten no posts since this - does this mean that BIOS version fixed the issue? If I replace my DAGF for this board, I'd like it to work at the higher voltages.
