    NEC 1735NXM $90 Rebates Invalid If Purchased At Staples

    I just received a call from someone at NEC and they are sending me the check on Monday! Sounds like the issue will be resolved all of us shortly if you have turned up the heat on them with complaints to the AG, BBB, etc.

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

    I wouldn't necessarily blame your PSU. I have the same issue running the dividers with a PCP&C 510 Express. I only have basic Geil PC3200 ram (2 x 512), but I can run the memory 200 at 222 @ 2.5-3-3-6 without a hitch. But whenever I try to use a divider other than 100, I get a blue screen...

    HELP! After BIOS flash, computer won't boot into windows.

    lol Same thing happened to me and I freaked. There is a setting in the genie (under the votage settings for the CPU, Chipset, RAM, etc.) to have memtest load on boot. It starts 'enabled'; simply switch it off.

    Everything but the memory divider. . .

    Thanks, I will check out those programs. I currently have the vcore set to 1.5v, but I have tried as high as a little over 1.6v.

    Everything but the memory divider. . .

    I have a DFI Ultra-D (2/18 bios) w/ a 3200+ and some Geil ram. In isolation, I can get the processor to right around 2.5 and the memory is fine to 222. Right now, I have the system going 1:1 at 222. Whenever I try playing with the divider (outside of 2:1 when I was seeing what the CPU could...

    Why the OC problems?

    I think I am going to RMA the memory. I just ran memtest again at 2.5, 4, 4, 10 as suggested by Duvie at 210 (2.9v) and I get errors all over the place (right now I am looking at the screen of the computer and it is 73% done with test 8 and there are 71,663 errors). That doesn't seem right...

    Why the OC problems?

    It's the DFI NF4 Ultra-D. I have the vdimm set to 2.9v and the timings when I did it were 3-3-3-7; the motherboard automatically went with 2.5-3-3-7 which failed as well. I think I am first going to flash an updated bios and then loosen the timings per your advice if that does do it. Do...

    Why the OC problems?

    No. I put it on a 5/6 divider with 240 attempting to make the memory run at 200. It failed. Yes, I read the guide. No problems until I attempted to consolidate. I was able to get CPU to 2.4GHz and the memory to 210 in isolation. However, if I try to run the CPU at even 2.2GHz (220 x...

    Why the OC problems?

    Alright, I stopped reading when it said floppy. Anyways, the memory tested fine to 210. It failed test 6 at 215. So, I should be able to keep the ram at 200 with dividers when I bump up the CPU. But it doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas?

    Why the OC problems?

    Alright, I followed the steps in Zebo's sticky and am having problems bringing it all together. I can get the CPU to 2.4 when I have the divider memory at 1/2 all the way down. I haven't run memtest since I don't have a floppy on this computer, so I figured I would just run a 5/6 divider...

    I got sick of waiting and ordered an X850 XT. I still have my XL on order from ATI and I figure I will just sell it for MSRP when I receive it or a few dollars more if I really need the money and they are still selling for a premium. :|

    I called and spoke with a supervisor, Cliff S.

    Yeah, I took advantage at Staples. They had better honor the rebate as it did not exclude Staples. Do you have a link to the rebate? I would like to save a copy for documentation. Thanks.
