Official DFI NF4Ultra-D/SLi owners thread.

try test 8 in memtest mine passes 50 test 8 then its fine.

what settings are you using? e.g volts, manual/auto settings?

Need more info.

Thanks samcim. Will rig the tower back up and try the mem test again, unfortunately will be tomorrow as I'm writing up some docs for work at the mo. I have tried all the official settings for the memory i.e. 2-2-2-5 and also tried 2-2-2-7 as recommended by someone earlier. Have manually slowed all speeds down just to see if that would work. Also had everything set to 'auto' as the Corsair stuff is supposed to be 'Plug n frag'. Voltages tried have been from 2.5 - 3.0 in .1 increments. Have also adjusted the chipset voltage (just by 0.1) Have a brand new Akasa 460w Pawpower PSU so it should be ok although I haven't tested that. Temps seem ok (39c for the A64 3500 core and 41c for the case) - when running the old samsung all seemed to report ok in the System Info on Windows. Very strange! and frustrating when I've shelled out £860 on a new tower and its sat next to me doing nothing.
Other specs are:- 200gb Maxtor DiamondMax10 SATA, HIS X800 XL and a couple of optical drives (tried disconnecting these!)

Cheers for the help

try not to use auto where ever possible sometimes it can do more harm than good.

What fsb you running, 200? And LTD multi? should be 3 x LTD IMO (3x200 =600x2 = 1200HTT)

Try this:

lower CPU multi to 7x,
CPU voltage to 1.5v,
200 LTD 1:1 with memory (200fsb)
LTD 1.3v
LTD to 1x
Chipset 1.7
Now we will only be testing memory

Just see if you still get errors, could be memory controller in the CPU??? anyone....
 
Does the serial number on the bottom line of the chip really make a difference? I found some CBBHD 0448 SPAWs but they have different serials like 862, 860, 817 and 761 on the third line what do i go for!?

I've got the ultra-d and am getting the following voltages with a tagan 420W PSU:
CPU: 1.32
LDT Bus:1.13
ATX +5.0V:4.97/4.94
DRAM:2.52
ATX+12V:11.58/11.51
NB+1.5V:1.43
ATX+3.3V:3.13/3.12
VBAT+3.0V:2.99

As you can see they're all lower than they should be, but are they ok or are they too low?

Is there a guide anywhere for overclocking with the DFI boards as it seems a bit more complex than other boards, got mine working great now so I want to try and get 2.65ghz at least.

Not as such m8y,

allot of info in various posts/threads within the OCing/Motherboard section.

Might be better to do a search, unless you have something more specific your stuck with.

But the basics that you would be used to are

HTT = FSB.
CPU multiplier can be adjusted downwards.
HTT multiplier , always keep it below 1000(i.e default is 5x200).
Memory settings can be worked out from HTT. Use the fraction thats displayed.
memory timings, mostly ppl leave them on auto except for usual. PPL who have Gskill can help you with specifics for you memory timings

don't trust those voltages, i've used a multimeter to find the treu voltages and they are different to the ones shown in the bios.
 
For the DRAM settings on the board it has quite a few extra parameters you can change ontop of the normal CAS, tRAS etc. Is it best to leave those other ones on Auto?

Mercyless,

Post on here how you get on as I may just take it back to overclockers as well.

Regards,

lower the number the better mate.

I've one that ends 089, it's 32pi stable at 2826mhz with 1.52v aircooled :D
It's running on a crappy msi neo 2 atm, I think my new dfi mobo should be here before the weekend, then I be putting the cpu in my mach 2 gt ;)
