ATTN DFI Nforce 4 users

I haven't bought one yet but plan to when the X2s come out. Are the retail boards going to be fixed by then? And if they do, I would like it if they labeled them like version 1.1 or 2.0 like the Biostars did.
 
Sangyup81, I have no clue as to what DFI's current plans are. I just know that this pretty much affects our VX line so it sounds like bad news to us. I'm hoping that they fix the issue soon.
 
yeah i posted this yesterday in motherboards. have you heard anything more "official" from dfi? from what i understand frank wong is the top tech guy for dfi/usa but i don't know that as fact. dfi street has been very quiet about it and disappointingly locked the first threads about it. it would be nice to hear something official as not everyone seems effected. just isn't worth the risk to me.
 
Rise4310, nothing official yet. I'll keep this thread updated as we get more news. OCZ has a good relationship with DFI and I'm sure that we'll hear about anything new right away.
 
Thanks for the heads-up. I moved my jumper to the 5V setting for about 2 days with my BH-5, and was having issues, so I moved it back. Since then I have seen postings on quite a few different boards with ram sticks dying with the 5V jumper set, so there's no way I'm moving it back until DFI has a definite fix for this issue. This is very important information, and I hope DFI "comes out" and pushes this info, to mitigate the amount of monetary losses, in the form of fried ram sticks and dead mobos, that users experience.

edit: By the way Shimmishim, thanks for the link on the higher voltage options while still using the 3.3V rail. I'm gonna try that.

shows you how to do it.

i ran with the jumper at 5v for over 2 months with no problems... but decided to move to this to see if i could improve my o/c...

Can't upping the voltage on the PSU's 3.3V rail potentially screw up other system components that use that rail?

Seems like even if this DID solve the DFI issue (which OCZ John says it doesn't), this could potentially cause other problems.
 
OCZ John,

Unfortunately I found out too late. Yesterday while doing a simple restart my computer would not post. Cleared CMOS, swapped memory and this morning came to the conclusion that one of my VX modules died and slots 3 and 4 on my DFI motherboard along with it.

I sent an e-mail to your collegue Ryder and waiting to see what he has to say. I've had my rig for only 3 weeks and now this. Sucks to say the least! DFI has just sent me the their RMA form, I'm off to fill in the blanks.
 
FV<k all that, i would just use the DDR Booster, i have heard when using the 5volt rail it can get quite toasty, and you might need active cooling

The same issue can happen even if you do the vdimm trick.

🙁

Thanks for the notice. Might have to get some TCCD now if there's a risk that my board might die!

I'm only running 3.3 so... hm....
