Yes thanks I'm ruining the 3.69 Nforce drivers....but I'm not in windows

and BIOS 201

I'm runing memtest from a CD. My OCZ 4000 Golds {hynix} are doing just fine at 285 3-3-3-8-1t so far.

For what ever reason I cant get my TCCD's to go over 240 or so in this board memtest eror free

Long night for me.

Both PCIe 16X slots work now. Flashing to a newer BIOS seems to have helped a lot. Most of the testing was done with stock AMD cooler, so no exciting benches. Will try freezing the CPU after I get some sleep.

sammy2066 · 02-06-2005, 07:32 AM

what kinda OC did you get?

What bios did u use?

Hi guys, long time no see

Thought I'd drop in and say that I received a DFI NF4 Ultra-D yesterday morning, and so far it has been a brilliant board. Slightly strange in some respects, but nevertheless exciting and definitely the best of the bunch.

Currently testing at 9 x 300, 2700MHz with FX-55, 1:1 memory, 2.5-4-4-7 1T timings using GSkill 1GB LA kit, and Radeon X850 XT PE at stock. This board is a fair bit faster than the Asus A8N-SLi at stock settings, which I was very impressed at.

I'm now trying to lower the memory timings, and have started testing with the newest beta bios. I have two FX-55 cpus here, and both suck. Not sure why, neither will run 2.8GHz stable.

Were did you manage to get a the board from. Have been watching overclockers but they aint got them yet.
Desperate to have one and upgrade from this rig big style.

cromozone · 02-06-2005, 11:18 AM

You have PM

Sierra_abx · 02-06-2005, 01:16 PM

Nice seeing you here, cromozone.

Just like the SK8V days.

cromozone · 02-06-2005, 01:25 PM

Ja ja, thought I'd try and continue the tradition

Reinstalling Windows now on a two disk RAID 0 using 74gig Raptors, just to see if board is capable of running 300HTT and RAID
