Official DFI NF4Ultra-D/SLi owners thread.

I ordered a enermax noisetaker ATX 2.0 along with my Dfi sli-d thinking it would have a 24 pin connecter but was sent a ATX 1.3 with a 20pins. Is there any problem plugging this into the bottom 20 pins on the board and leaving the top 4 empty?
 
thanks guy's
i will try uninsalling and insall one sound driver and see what happens.
also ati tool tells me my x850xt only has 8 pipelines what pci-e settings do i need in the settings. it sayes in the bios that pci-e is set to 100mhz is this correct?

You installed both the nvidia and realtek sound drivers ?

I think you install one or the other, but not both.

I installed only the ones which came on the driver CD.

I don't get why installing the sound drivers caused my network to stop responding though...

If it did anything with the MAC address somehow, that would explain it. My Uni connection is keyed into my specific mac address!
 
Hi all,

Well, late last night got the motherboard installed :D

Flashed the bios to the one posted at the front of this thread and tried the two sticks of Corsair XMS4400 memory. Oops. Doesn't work although the voltage is only at 2.6. Should placing this at the recommended 2.75 help with this?

I too installed both the NVidia and Realtek drivers for the sound. I noticed that when installing the Realtek that the Nvidia was removed. Which one is better?

Will check the network connections tonight as NTHell were down again last night.

Well impressed with the motherboard kit though (SLI_DR), apart from the Transpo which I can't image using at all.

More fun and games tonight....

Yes up with Vdimm, so far it seems this board likes to supply a little more then what other boards do for the same memory, 0.1-0.3v more.
 
Happy to confirm that the DFI Ultra-D and week 50 Winchester 3500 loves freon cooling.

Fitting was simple... no issues with the board and she is now rock stable at 3GHz and giving the FX55 guys a run for thier money.

No, works fine with 20pin, just rem to plug in all the other power connectors too

Thanks for the help, Iv put all the connecters in apart from the one that looks like a floppy power socket near the pci e sockets. Posted ok. Got into the bios and set drives ect but as it loads windows just reboots. Think i'll try a clean install and see if that works as this is the 1st time iv used a hard drive with windows already installed in a new machine.
Do i need to plug a floppy power connector into the the socket on the mother board??
 
If you're changing mobo you usually have to do a clean install. It's always best. Though saying that i'm going from a MSI NF4 SLI board to the DFI, i'm hoping I can get away with it.
 
One piece of info...

On the Ultra-D mobo, I was using the lowest PCIe slot to keep the GPU away from the NB HS... I found that 3d performance was low... not too much, but less than normal.

Changing to the top slot set performance back to normal...

So be aware that the lower slot is obviously not setup by default with performance in mind... it probably is set at 2x Pcie instead of 16x by default.
 
well, my SLI-DR finally arrived today, it's revision a01.
I heard that the only difference between this and a02 is the bios it comes pre-flashed with? just wanted to verify if this is the case, and where they found that out from? can't test it yet as i'm waiting on some more parts sadly, but i'll flash it to the latest if thats the only real difference (otherwise RMA it i guess.. bit of a pain waiting again though :P)


*cheers for the advice on TCCD ricco, i'm following the post over in the memory forum yeah :)
oh, and apart from revision a00, if anyone has a rev.a00 board they should RMA it :)
