    DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D Video card touching chipset cooler

    It's the way it is. And if I shove my card in at a bit of an angle, the corner touches the chipset fan and it doesn't spin. But it's not causing any problems in the way it works though

    "Official" DFI nF4 Ultra-D / SLI-DR Thread

    LDT is the multiplier for the onboard memory controler. The equasion goes memory speed x LDT x2 if ddR = speed of memory contoller. (Also known as htt- hypertransport bus) Rule of thumb the controller doesn't work at speeds a lot faster than 2000 So at 1:1 memory at 230 FSB, the LDT...

    "Official" DFI nF4 Ultra-D / SLI-DR Thread

    1.7 is a high voltage - unless you have watercooling, drop it down to default - and quick. if it is 1.07, that's low. ? your PSU is struggling. Default is 1.4v I run my cpu at 1.55v (but the onboard detects 1.52) 105 pci express frequency is working fine for me - that's what the DFI...

    Misleading results when working out CPU limits

    When using low latency memory (i have crucial ballistix DDR 500) - underclocking the memory can cause stability issues. All tests are with a x10 CPU multi The system was was fine at a cpu speed of 2200 and a 9/10 memory divider (mem 200, FSB 200, x10 multi) Was also fine at 2400 and...

    Novice Nforce 4 in a nutshell

    I'm sure there's a lot of "feel" for how to get all the bits running - and determine what's the limiting factor. And I also understand that as an approach to how to overclock, the above won't work at all.

    Novice Nforce 4 in a nutshell

    Ah- so I now understand the cas bit. But isn't it better for a novice like me to get PC400 - DDR 500 memory - so that I can run my FSB at 250Hz at a 1:1 ratio without any problem. (or isn't it that easy.)

    Yes - I read that - but don't quite get it.

    Novice Nforce 4 in a nutshell

    An idiot's impression. Loads of us novices are very interested in Nforce 4 - because the long awaited PCI express meets AMD 64. It's got about a year's lifespan as the best gaming mobo\processor out there, untill AMD bring out socket M2 this time next year (or if Intel do something...

    Runing pc4000 memory slower

    I'm probably going for a asus SLI motherboard, but this mobo won't run the memory bus that fast; so I understand. There is minimal price difference between PC 3200 and PC 4000 memory right now - are there anyproblems underclocking a pc4000 memory module.

    Stable clocking of AMD 64's.

    Only thing is I want to go PCI express. And should I be thinking 3000 or 3200?

    Stable clocking of AMD 64's.

    I'm a big Unreal Tournament fan, a game that really pushes both CPU and memory - and will throw a GPF if things aren't set up right. What sort of processor speeds could a novice expect to get to run at 100% stability, out of a recent batch socket 939 AMD 64 3000 and 3200? It'll be...
