Author Topic: DFI Lanparty nF4 Ultra-D Discussion Thread.... Polygon Admin Member # 1 posted                    OK, here is the discussion thread for the DFI nF4 Ultra-D -------------------- Too Many Computers,... Too Little Time ..... Damn Phenoms! Posts: 25194 | From: Fire Island, NY | Registered: Feb 2003 Polygon Admin Member # 1 posted                    Trying to load W2K and when it gets to the 1st re-boot, I'm getting that deep blue screen with the tiny bright white lettering telling you your f***ed.... This board corrupted the installation trying to do the installation! Now, this is the 3ed nF4 board I'm testing. The other 2 are running smooth as silk and this ..... Well, I tried with the GEIL because I think it hates TCCD..... Hmmmm maybe I should have flashed the BIOS like recommended.... I'll try the flash and try a re-load.... -------------------- Too Many Computers,... Too Little Time ..... Damn Phenoms! Posts: 25194 | From: Fire Island, NY | Registered: Feb 2003 Polygon Admin Member # 1 posted                    Flashed the 2/1/05 BIOS without a hitch and re-loading W2k.... -------------------- Too Many Computers,... Too Little Time ..... Damn Phenoms! Posts: 25194 | From: Fire Island, NY | Registered: Feb 2003 Polygon Admin Member # 1 posted                    OK, turns out the board does not like the GEIL Ultra Platinum PC4400 (Hynix chips)... Loading with the Kingston, TCCD chip memory... -------------------- Too Many Computers,... Too Little Time ..... Damn Phenoms! Posts: 25194 | From: Fire Island, NY | Registered: Feb 2003 Polygon Admin Member # 1 posted                    I know it's really, really early to make any judgements, but the CPU and memory that runs 300+ in almost everyother nF3 and nF4 board is having trouble at 260 on this board... Switching memory again........ -------------------- Too Many Computers,... Too Little Time ..... Damn Phenoms! Posts: 25194 | From: Fire Island, NY | Registered: Feb 2003 45 Auto Moderator Member # 236 posted                    On the DFI's the ultra and Sli boards are identical except for the chipset. They even use the same bios. Those terminals between the x16 slots are for a bridge which enables sli. And there is no difference between the ultra and sli versions of the nf4, except for one trace. With it sli works , without it no go. Once the word got out on how to mod the ultra into an sli chip, Nvidia started zapping the ultra with a laser to prevent the mod from working. Also, the only source for the bridge is Nvidia, and you have to prove that you bought a sli board. -------------------- 5400Brisbane/DFI Dk M2RS/Xigmatek HDT s1283/4gig OCZ Reaper 8500/ Radeon 4850/Enermax Liberty 500/Vista Ult x64 Asrock 939dualie/4200 AM2/6gig A_Data DDR2-800/BFG 8600GTS OC1/Antec Basiq 500/Vista Prem64 sp1 Posts: 1514 | From: Sacramento, Ca. | Registered: Oct 2003 Polygon Admin Member # 1 posted                    Look here for further info on the conversion technique.... Here's what the SLI Bridge looks like. Some cards are further apart is why there is 2 shown... -------------------- Too Many Computers,... Too Little Time ..... Damn Phenoms! Posts: 25194 | From: Fire Island, NY | Registered: Feb 2003 Polygon Admin Member # 1 posted                    Tried several different TCCD memory brands and 260HTT/FSB is crash city..... -------------------- Too Many Computers,... Too Little Time ..... Damn Phenoms! Posts: 25194 | From: Fire Island, NY | Registered: Feb 2003 Polygon Admin Member # 1 posted                    Reading as much as I could stand over at extremesystems, most users are topping out in the 260HTT/FSB range..... Ya' know, it sure seems that the more fanfare, the more "eye-candy", the more features, the more bull5hit presented,..... the worse the motherboard performance is...... I'm POSTing and booting at 9X300 on the: Epox-9NDA3+ MSI Neo4 Ga-K8NF-9 MSI Neo2 with little or no problems.... and this much anticipated board can't go past 260??? Hell, the '250Gb runs better then that! Well, it still early, but by know, I had the EP-9NDA3+ at 325HTT/FSB..... -------------------- Too Many Computers,... Too Little Time ..... Damn Phenoms!

Posts: 25194 | From: Fire Island, NY | Registered: Feb 2003 Polygon Admin Member # 1 posted                    It dawned on me that the CPU clock is holding me back, so I dropped the multi to 8X and went looking for the max HTT/FSB frequency... I'd have to check back, but this may be a record for this CPU and A-Data DDR600 at 200 1T 2.5-3-6-3..... -------------------- Too Many Computers,... Too Little Time ..... Damn Phenoms! Posts: 25194 | From: Fire Island, NY | Registered: Feb 2003 Polygon Admin Member # 1 posted                    Well, checking the super overclocker, the EPOX-9NDA3+, after the voltage mods I could get these components to 320 HTT/FSB @ 200 1T 2.5-3-6-3... But 310 is nothing to sneeze at and besides this is with a 3200 Winnie that has a old date code of 0433... I have a new Winnie at the office I will try, and my next move with this board is to install the FX-55 and see where we can end up... One more thing to note, with the aformentioned settings, at 8X, I'm POSTing and booting into Windows at 300HTT/FSB..... This board is a keeper.... -------------------- Too Many Computers,...
