Ricco,


I'm running my board with 2 sticks of Gskill,in the bios the memory is set to Auto do i just leave it at this? Also why does it not show 400Mhz as my Asus Intel board does,sorry but i'm new to AMD.

Thanks Amidar

Auto should be fine, as it will just use SPD timings.

Not sure what you mean by "Also why does it not show 400Mhz as my Asus Intel board does" do you mean at POST ?
 
Amid, if you memory is set to auto, on POST it should say DDr400,DDr333, DDR266 etc, whatever this is 1/2 it is what your frequncy selection is.
But the the A64's do run on a 200mhz FSB.

An example would be my Xp3200.
If everything was set to auto, my PC3200 memory would run at 200mhz 1:1 with the CPU, as the XP3200 runs 200mhz x 10 = 2000mhz.
 
Gary (btw sorry not forgot about the money, just not been into town),

I have no t realy played too much with the timing options.

All of mine are set to auto excluding:
Tcl = 2
Trcd=2
Tras=8 ( 8 here has been shown to give most bandwidth on NF4's)

If anyone does not understand the 'DRAM FREQUENCY SET=' option, I have covered this in some depth in this thread http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17363555
 
Yes you can turn off full screen logo, mine is.

Actualy that might answer Amidar's question too, since he wont see anything at POST.

Just hit DEL when you see logo to enter BIOS ( if you did'nt know), and IIRC pressing TAB will show POST screen.
 
NP, I am updating the first post as we go along, I know these very long threads can often get good information lost in them along the way.

Hopefuly I will manage to collate and condense useful info.
 
I must admit, i also had a boto problem at first, but as I said I found that booting with 1 stick of mem solved this, then flash BIOS as instructed.
This maybe due to the shipping BIOS not setting Vdimm correctly, but if you follow the instructions you will be fine.

Other then that, not any other niggles so far shown up for me :)
 
matt, no point having a board sat in a cuboard for a month or maybe longer :)

prices may drop, and boards might mature a little more too.

Nothing wrong with BH5 on this board, give it 3.5v and it should start to fly.
My BH5 @ 270 http://www.ricco.karoo.net/images/DFI_Bh5_270_415HTT.jpg

nice work Simon, Yes I also acidently found the 100mhz PCIe bug, but totaly forgot to mention it, I'll update first post with that.
 
Background images take up system memory m8y, I dont sit and look at my desktop too often ;)

Tenshi
TCCD for you m8y, make sure you follow the discusions regarding TCCD v VX/BH5 etc in memory forum.
 
hmm, as I said Duff-man they were 100% rock solid on my Nf3 Neo2(well now sold).

have you tried upping the volts, as its turning out TCCD is liking Vdimm on the Nf4, something I didn't know before.

SHould be fine, although everyone else might frown at you for running them in your DFI :D
 
Kadison I just use the Nvidia ones.

Duff-man, I honestly would'nt have sold you the mem if I had of known, BUT with the price you poayed for it, you won't lose any if you put it in MM for the same amount and then try Gskill.
