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

    Thats seems to be the case.......people with slower processors...aka 3000+, 3200+, 3500+, ect... have lower PWM IC temps than people who have monsters under the hood like 4000+ and FX series. Every time someone tells me they are in the mid to upper 30s in temp on the PWM IC they have a 3200+ or...

    PWM temp on DFI Ultra-d

    I guess it depends on the CPU...if you have a weaker cpu, like a 3200 or 3500, then the temp wont be as high as mine, because i have a FX-55, and i have it clocked to 3.0 on air. I was also told by DFI that im good till 100C in the PWM IC area.

    The PWM IC is the area to the right of the cpu. Its the part where you see all the heat sinks on the motherboard in a line. Its what it looks like....power managment. And the program that comes on the driver cd called ITE Smart Gaurdan also will tell you the temps of PWM IC along with cpu and...

    PWM temp on DFI Ultra-d

    Most people are telling me its in the 50s, what processor do you have, and are you sure you are telling me the PWM and NOT the chipset. Think having my memory at 2.85V and having a FX-55 has anything to do with it being in the mid 40s? What kind of specs you have?

    PWM temp on DFI Ultra-d

    Demo24.....i installed a 520watt modstream by OCZ and my 12v line was horriable, it was at 11.77 and under load was at 11.55, so i put my X-connect psu back in, my 12v line is at 12.03 idle and 11.80 load, whats the deal, i sent it back and im waiting for another one, what do you get?

    Ok so you can just plug your 20 PIN powersupply right up to your DFI Lanparty Ut ultra d board?

    Yes, i had the A8N-SLI and i had the x-connect 500watt(34amps on the 12v line), and it worked fine, leaving 4 pins open on the 24 pin connector. Then i got the 20 to 24pin power wire(NOT AN ADAPTER) for the X-connect and it did nothing at all, didnt even help the overclock to be honest. Make...

    **IMPORTANT UPDATE** Attn: All DFI Ultra-D Motherboard owners!!

    The problem alot of people had with this board is the capacitor right next to the 12v 4-pin connector. If you had a modded psu, or a X-connect or something and the wires on the psu were thicker than norm, it would bend the capacitor, and it would cause major instability or worse, you wouldnt be...

    I need some recommendations on building a new rig.

    For what you are using the system for, i recomend going with an Intel based system. If your gonna video edit or have a gaming rig, then id go with AMD. Look at my rig, thats a gaming machine. For what you want to do, Intel would be the better choice. I have had both Intel and now AMD machines...

    Want to replace my p4 3.2 With AMD

    Id go with a Nforce4 board and maybe a AMD 3500 processor. The Nforce4 boards are coming down in price and the 754 boards kinda blow. I know someones gonna jump down my throaght on that statement, but if your coming from a decent setup as a P4 3.2, you dont wanna down-grade to a lesser system...

    I didnt mean to come off as rude before, i was just sick of people giving my "old" board a bad rep. Anyways, how come you cant go past 247 fsb? Ive gone to 310 with my memory at 1T and ran some tests, just to see if i could go that high, then i chickened out and went back to what my sig states.

    Asus A8nSLi deluxe

    I had that board for awhile....i couldnt take it anymore, but back to the heatsink......the problem i had was that the 12v 4-pin line was in the way of the heatsink. I shaved the heatsink down about 2mm on that side and JUST got it to fit, but with my new board, dont have that problem.

    the only problem i see with that board is that the 4-pin 12v line will be in the way of the XP-120 heatsink, it was alittle bit too on the A8N-SLI, but on my new DFI it isnt at all. Nice board though.

    No, you might be right......the space between the cards i think is too little on the DFI boards compared to the A8N-SLI, i havent tried it as i only have a single GT. Oh, and i hate you for getting that card...lol.....ive always been an ATI guy, and i cant wait to go back!!
