Official DFI NF4Ultra-D/SLi owners thread.

Hi guys can someone help me overclock my dfi i've posted a thread in the overclocking section thanks all. Oh and some issues of the DFI if you want to install the sound card thing in a Coolermaster Centurion 5 you need to cut a little slot in your back 120m fan otherwise it wont fit
 
hmm.. mine seems to have it

Any reason not to use the orange memory slots over the yellow slots?

Memory clocks better in the orange slots on my board.

9: Orange memory slots(2&4) are reported to offer better stablity.

Seems orange is better for most ppl.
 
You sure about the memtest errors in test 5?

I only get them when pushing too far, and the last 5% of test 5 has always been the most sensitive to memory faults on both my NF3 and NF4 boards.
 
Well I can pass memtest at 230 after 20 passes, will try for 250 today.

25.6k is abit low, dunno why. Might go up after a system reinstall and better drives then the 71.80s.

Seems to depend upon the version of memtest you run, so many ppl have various versions its better to just give a blanket statement then try to pick up.

If your memory is failing though, generaly it will be in Test 5, although at the same address and size is thought to be not memory, but could be mem controller/chipset/software.

I personaly use test 5 looped as its a very quick way to check.

Same here. Sometimes it goes to starting windows then stops and sometimes it gives a blue screen error after starting windows. Let me know if you get it sorted.
 
Is anyone using ballistix with this board? If I drop the ram divider to 166 I can get the CPU(A643200) to 2.45 and ram to 216. If I drop the multi to 9 I can get the ram to 260 and the CPU to 2.3. If I use the default multi of 10 and every thing else 1 to 1 this board just will not clock. Surly if the ram can to do 260 and the CPU can do 2.45 then surly they can do 2.45/245 simultaneously?
 
High hopefully going to finally get all my bit tommorrow :D

Now I am sure that i read somewhere that there was a problem with VGA arctic coolers
on DFI boards?

Just wondering becuase i am very tempted to put one on my OCUK x800xt to get better overclocks, but if there are issues with this then i wont buy it.

Btw i am also going to have a XP-120 heatsink.
 
hi all
My system works great with one stick of crucial pc3200
however when I add another stick I get the blue screen of death
im using the orange dim slots and nothing changes when I try the yellow ones.

aye read daves posts, the chipset cooling got in the way of the arctic cooler fitting properly (but hes engineered his to fit (lol)
 
so can someone tell me have they got a fan working on fan 4 or 5 on mobo.

thanks gaz123

I have one of my case fans running off Fan 5, no problems. Wanted it to be always on to drawn air out of the case.

As for the NCQ and SATA drives. Ports 1-4 use the Nvidia chipset which has SATAII and therefore includes NCQ support. Ports 5-8 on the SLI-DR don't support SATAII but do support RAID5 aswell as RAID 0 and 1.

cool the Nvidia chipset i am using.

so from the word go fan 5 was working all the time you are saying?

if so dose anyone know how to 1 can turn the fans on if they are off,i looked in the bois all i can see is cpu fan and fan2 and NB fan.
 
All five fan slots were working from the start.

CPU Fan working as expected....runs up slowly.
Chipset Fan working as expected...didn't start immediately but then buzzed into life after a min or two.
Fan 2 used initially as the case fan but then moved to Fan 4 and Fan 5 for testing purposes ;)

I don't remember changing anything in the bios
