Official DFI NF4Ultra-D/SLi owners thread.

One thing i have a problem with my new rig is that i am using the nvidia lan card on the mobo its great for say 1 hr but then.

i can do 2 things pull power from the cable box so it re sets and it will work after.
2nd thing is to press repair in network conns in xp and it will work again.

other thing with the lan card the marvill one i can noy get to work at all when i install drivers from cd and from web windows crashes.

can any one help please.

Might just be a driver issue causing the reboots. Worth a try.

Gaz,
if you read first post they list the latest drivers , but most pppl are running the other LAN anyway, since the Nvidia one is a little twitchy and needs the MAC addy manualy puttting in.

its does seem a little bit of a lotto with some TCCD on NF4's, but be something to do with the packaging/layout.
If ppl are having problems with corsair ram, pls give as much info from their label as possible

The Corsair is working a treat (though I also unplugged the floppy power connector from under the CPU at the same time I switched the RAM modules). 265 x 9 so far at 2.5,3,3,7 1T 1:1 timings.

Starting to get some nice results:

300HTT 1:1 passes memtest test 5 21 times (good enough for me)

Bumped the multi to 9 for some superpi:

This board just gets better and better.

nice dave, my gskill LE does exactly the same with this winchester and the dfi

im hitting 290 2.5-3-3-7 and 300 2.5-4-3-7 all with 2.6v and let it have 20 passes of memtest
 
Just a quick query. I have 3 120mm fans in my sonata case at the moment i have them powered by the PSU (Tagan 480w) and they are really noisy, mind u i do have the side panel off, if i put the side panel back on would that make a difference? I had to put them on the PSU cos they have molex connectors and i dont have any adapters yet.

So if i get these adapters and plug the fans into my DFI board will this reduce their sound as they are tempreture controlled??

Or is it worth splashing out and getting a fan controller like the Akasa one?
 
if there on 4 pin molexs chances are they draw to much power for you to be able to plug them into the motherboard (will blow the fan header) best to get a fan controller :)

side panel will only make a very slight differance, but its better than nothing ;)
 
Well on the one on the CPU I can definitly see that it is a 3 pin connection with a molex power cable in it, if i plut this one in will this blow the fan header?? Not sure on the other 2 will have to have a look tonight
 
Just got my DFI NF4 SLI-DR set up over the weekend.
Have a couple of questions.

What max vcore using the standard heatsink/fan ?

Which memory timings do i change manually ( Its a big list ) ?

I have 2 identical Maxtor 80Gb SATA hard drives which are detected in the bios but not seen by windows. Any suggestions ? ( Not in a raid array )

Is the smartguard or Ntune actually worth using ?
 
I used this guys settings:
