Official DFI NF4Ultra-D/SLi owners thread.

No offence - perhaps start your own thread rather than adding to one that should be about the DFI NF4 mobos in particular...

Not having a moan - but feel sorry for new owners having to trawl 50 pages with some of it being non-specific to the DFI NF4 mobos...

EDIT: Actually ignore me - Im tetchy (its that time of the month - bills :/)

Cheers

Well my question was in relation to this board. Seems pointless starting a thread when there is one here for this board lol. No prob mate!
 
Hi guys using this boot cd "http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6369&page=1&pp=15" post #3
are these the correct steps to take?



1. Enter Bios
2. Load Optimised Defaults -> y->save -
3. Boot Off CD, type "flashN4D414-3"
4. after reset, enter bios -> load optimised defaults->y->save->after POST finishes ->
5. Shutdown ->switch off PSU -> unplug -> wait for yellow lights to turn off -> press power a few times->
set clear CMOS jumper -> wait for 10 minutes->set jumper back -> plug in ->switch on -> power up ->
enter bios -> load optimised defaults -> now configure your bios.


Is the "N4D414-3" Bios the one i want?

I have a 3200 winchester and Geil vaule ram "GE1GB3200BHDC"

Thanks.

Trick: If you get pauses in games up you chipset/LDT voltage a step until it goes :) (may have been posted before).

what are the chipset/LDT voltages safe to? i'm trying this out, upped them both a step from their defaults (1.2/1.5 ?) to (1.3/1.6 i think.. :p) chipset/LDT.
seems ok, but is this all safe? :)

You can up them to the max, im at 1.7/1.4V and im only 40C load chipset :)

very true, heat would be the enemy normaly but if you can keep around 40c then al lseems OK.

I dont have to use over + 0.1v to hit some crazy HTT speeds anyway, so IMHO its more likely to be a limitation of CPU/Mem etc not the NF4 chipset.
 
Hi guys

installed windows now i have a few problems...


it thinks i might want to safely remove my sata hdd with windows installed on it :|

i didnt even know you could hotswap sata drives, but i have to plan to hot swap so wish to disable it...


And ... how do i get cool and quiet working on a windows x64 machine?
 
Can someone tell me if I have killed my cpu. I was upping the vcore on my cpu and I think it went above 1.7+ on my winnie. It blew my psu, but I have a replacement now. When I go to switch on my pc now all I get is the vga led flash quickly then one faint led :(
Have I buggered my cpu?

:confused:
 
Scoobie, in the lower left hand corner of the mobo - just below the last PCI slot there are 4 diagnostic lights. In normal operation after booting up, these lights will not be lit up. However, when just starting the PC these lights turn on individually to indicate which major components/events were successful.

If the PC is successful in booting you will have seen each of the 4 lights turn on one after another and then disappear. When there is a problem, it will stop at one of the lights and your PC will fail to boot.

How many of these red lights remain lit up shortly after you've attempted to start the PC?

Well from what I can gather its stopping at the second from bottom, which is the cpu I think (correct me if im wrong). I just get a breif flash from the VGA one then nothing. Looks like my cpu is dead :o
Oh well at least I have a reason to get a 3700+ San Diego now :D
 
According to this..

...if yours only gets to 2 lights then it looks like the CPU is not getting detected :(
 
4 lights is startup.
3 lights is cpu detected
2 lights means ram is ok
1 light means vga is fine
no lights, starting up.

so if it stops on two lights, the ram is faulty

The picture above, which is straight from my SLI-DR "Features" manual seems to indicate that the lights will turn on to indicate success of each component/event, not the failure of.

Therefore if two lights are on then it means vga and ram were successful.

Well im pretty sure its the cpu that is buggered as I gave it way to much vcore, well over 1.7v, I think it was 1.5+v with 123% (lesson learnt the hard way). It blew my psu in the process too, but i have a replacement psu now. At least the mobo and vga are working, the ram should be ok as well. Just the cpu got cooked :eek:

I wont be so silly with my new 3700+ San Diego ;)
