Not had any issues with Corsair meself, and thats runnig the 2gig twin x @ 2.3.3.6

Using the fx55 so maybe the mem controller is a little less fussy
 
definetly the mem controller is less fussy with winnies and what not, my winnie was quite happy at 289 1:1 but with the san diego, about 270 is the most it will do. My friend has that same memory coolasmoo with a SD3700 and was getting terrible problems, so much so he got rid of the board and went for a abit instead (which incidently, he's had no problems since changing).
 
if i do go for the corsair 4400 stuff is there any garuntee that ill get it working eventually?
If no would i get my money back? :confused:

615 bios has been taken down from DFI's site, so hopefully an updated version without the USB problems should be up soon.

Well that sucks pretty badly, they should really test stuff properly before releasing a final.
 
The corsair will work fine mate, the only problem is you might not get as much out of the combo - as you would expect. If you havent bought the ram yet, then go for something else if your stuck on the DFI. Otherwise go for the abit fatality, which dosent seem to have any issues with it.

what do you mean?
will it not clock as high?
if so, why?
is the abit any better or how much worse? Would i get 277*9=2500 out of it or more? with a 3000+Venice

If you scroll up a little, you'll see that they have released a fixed version already :/

Not the point though, if such a flaw can slip through to a final release then you have to wonder what their QA testing is like. Might be a more serious flaw next time.
 
I don't really see what the problem is. Oskar Wu fixes any major problem almost immediately. How many other companies do that? We get BIOS releases very often, tweaking and improving the board's functionality.

Oskar Wu is a god - this is blasphemy - may he strike you down with a BIOS chip remover and 80 volts of ESD!!!

Avoiding revision is fun :rolleyes:

They are s amll company and their target market is Overclockers - therfore you can't expect them to test with every setup combination liklely to be used - be thanksful they actualy lisen and fix it quickly - most dont even bother !
 
when flashing a bios from winflash do you lot flash the DMI section of it as well? i never did before so decided to this time with the 618-3 bios but im curious as to what it actually does? if anything?

Real pleased for you been there and it's horrid.
 
Okay back at overclocked settings and it booted, now finding my best 2.5-3-3-6 FSB :D

The 'Normal', 'Fast' and "Fastest' settings, 'Fastest" doesnt work for me :(

Concorde

Edit: 290x10 BSODs (the same BSOD I usally get) with same settings as before on the 510-1 BIOS. However my bandwidth is up 200mb/s to 7.7gb/s so im happyish :D Im at 287x10 and ist solid, what changes with 3mhz :|

Concorde, are you a gamer? If so, they tend to prefer low latency than high bandwidth.

@ 290, 2.5-3-3-6 (Your Tras ought to be 8 in this case too), the total latency of the memory is 36.2ns. If you can run at 230 or more, 2-2-2, I think games might prefer that. (34.8ns, reducing to 32 as you approach 250).

Mind you, we are talking myabe 1% difference! :D
