Disable full screen logos in the BIOS (if you can on this board, there is normally an option to do this on DFI boards)

ricco · 7 Feb 2005 at 20:04

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.

Fantastic.

Thanks Guys.

If I ordered the DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra-D this week, would I still be able to mod it to SLi ??

ricco · 7 Feb 2005 at 20:23

well the opinion is anythig shipped out by DFI after 20/02 is no go. Stock about ATM is all ok.

matt1 · 7 Feb 2005 at 20:27

Yeah, I'd defo order this board but I dislike OcUK's expensive shipping, I'd much prefer a cheaper slower posting service..

But I'm so tempted.

Only worry is modding this board when I eventually get 2 x PCI Express gpu's and it dieing. As they will probably notice it was modded even if I unmodded before sending it back. But what are the chances..

Cheers Ricco,

Will give that a go.

If you use conductive paint to make the connection ,then it will come off easily with acetone. But I expect a pencil trace will do it too..

Thanks surge! I'm defo going for one of those boards, why pay £25 more when you can just do a little (reversible) mod. Ah man thats so good

That's if you get one of the earlier boards. Nvidia are supposed to be making it so you can't mod the Ultra-Ds. They're probably gonna put a laser cut between the two points or something.

Minstadave · 7 Feb 2005 at 21:51

All the ones shipping at the moment will be modable, this hacks only been around for a few days, will take Nvidia a while to revise the silicon to stop this.

FreeStream · 7 Feb 2005 at 21:51

Woo all working here, 12.5k 2003 and 23.8k 2001 atm

MS FS 2004 runs like a dream. Gonna clock tomorrow, ill change me timings to 2-2-2-8 tho

But apparently the boards OcUK currently stock can be modded. Has anyone actually tried this yet with the Ultra-D board from OcUK?

I'd try and tell you tomorrow but I haven't had a shipping confirmation, I ordered at like 11am and everythings in stock

matt1 · 7 Feb 2005 at 21:56

I will be ordering first thing tomorrow morning if I can get the modable version of the board.

Minstadave · 7 Feb 2005 at 21:59

You don't get the SLI bridge though, not sure if you can pick one up aftermarket.

mrbios · 7 Feb 2005 at 21:59

has anyone stuck a mach2 + winchester in one of these yet? and more importantly did it work?

matt1 · 7 Feb 2005 at 22:05

I'm not looking to go SLi yet, Id just like the ability to do it. As for the winny question, I would like to know

Emmon · 8 Feb 2005 at 01:20

Ok think its worthwhile to add that the Chipset fan on mine is indeed an annoyance.. guess its coming from an NF7-S with zalman passive on the northbridge but as theres no room for one on this im gonna have to purchase that little £5 vantec jobby and just use the tiny heatsink that comes with it.

The board is lovely though, very nice indeed.
