do you know anyone else in your area with this set up if so you can swop mobo's (or try your ram, Gcard etc in it) and see if it works. Then you would know you dont have a compatibility issue
 
Hey guys, anyone running a vapochill se/pe/xe on this mb and using the 4v jumper. I just tried to set mine (got a pair of bh5 sticks) and it wouldnt start up. all the lights were lit up on the chillcontrol so no error codes to work from. Jus the fan didnt start i dont think and it just shuts back down after about 5 seconds? Any ideas ?
 
is the dfi sli d mobo a fussy batard?

is the dfi sli d mobo a fussy batard?

with regards to the memory it takes? as the potheads in holland (dfi support) are claiming that it's a memory compatibilty issue, i've emailed corsair and they say the memory i used should work fine, as i not overclocking or anything, i went out and got a pair of kingston sticks and the mobo still doesn't work, as all 4 led's are lite up like a xmas tree!
should i now go to plan (B) and put the mobo back in it's box and leave it in wardrobe and consider it an expensive lesson, never to buy dfi again and install the msi diamond mobo!!!!
 
Id email them with details of using 2 different types of mem sticks from different manufacturers - what are the sticks u used specifically? - others using this mobo maybe using them and that would be something else to advise them...

Highly unlikely you getting 2 duff sets - I presume it works fine when u just put a 512mb stick in - memtest and all?

They cant ask you to do much else really - so I would definitely ask them to replace it, just makes u have all the facts laid out in front of them - it may take time, but worth doing. Even if you change to another board you could sell the DFI replacement...

I wouldnt leave it as a lesson learnt, just get even and back to square 1, whatever you consider that is...

the memory that i've tried is corsair value select (VS512MB400C3) and Kingston Value Ram (kvr400x64c3a/512) both 512mb,
in dual channel and single channel, the pc boots up and nothing after that happens, just the 4 red led's come on and thats it, to me from what i can make of their vague manual is that there is a fault with the mobo as the leds are suppose to reflect what stage the boot up is in, if it was the ram thats the problem then, would it mean only 2 leds should be alight?????
so how do you go abouts getting dfi to cough up a new mobo?
as their maintaing that the mobo has been tested and working fine as far as they're concerned, should i contact trading standards????

cheers

Concorde how are your pwm and chipset temps so low!? Both of mine are the same if not higher then the cpu when idle!

Coolermaster stacker with Crossflow fan and 17.6 intake temp along with a 18.1C CPU intake air temp.

I would add about 5 maybe on chipset and again 5-10 C on CPU, but my temp rpobe under my HSF about 2 mm from the start of the heatspreader says 23C :O Also if you look at it again it says my chipset fan is OFF, hmmm.

Edit: BSOD at 295x9, gonna try with 1.575V tomorrow, back at 290x9 :D

hmm.. could I get a picture of the crossflow fan in the case? I was never too sure how those things fitted

Yup, two ticks, searching my website for a old pic!

Thats a old pic it isnt that bad now, but the IDE and power cables cover the memory from the crossflow fan which is a bad design by DFI possibly.

2nd edit: 291x9 is the max I can do, 295x9 even with 1.675V BSODs :(

HELP!!! Do I need to raise my LDT/chipset voltage even more?

mayeb you've hit the wall concorde. it seems these winchesters do it spectacularly. mine stops dead at 290 x 10 at the moment. 291 x 10 is unstable to the point i cant start prime before it crashes. but 290 x 10 is rock solid. trying the burn in theory now
