ChainTech ZNF3-150

[RichardKnoggin]

I wonder if anyone else is having problems with the ZNF3-150 Mobo?

I have had two problems:

1. If I use 2 memory chips (Geil DDR 512) I get HD corruption which usually happens under heavy CPU usage.
I have installed them the proper slots accourding to Chaintech which would be slots 1 and 2 or slots 1 and 3
but not slots 2 and 3 which Chaintech says is a no no.
If I use on chip (either one) the system runs flawlessly.

2. My ATI All In Wonder 9700 will only connect at AGP 4x. I have tried auto and the 4x/8x in the bios with the
same result.

I left mail at the Chaintech site but guess what after two days no return from them... Maybe a different maker would be better to use.

If you have experenced the same type of problems or know of a work around PLEASE help

Hey, I got the same memory problem. 2 geils here too.
Did you find a way to solve it?

You can update to the latest bios if you haven't already and see if that helps.

I ordered 2 of these motherboards with 2 3200+ a64's, one with corsair xms3200 and the other with mushkin 3500 level 2, both 1gb. Operationally speaking, no glitches, and memory is adjustable just fine, i have the mushkin box running at 2-2-2-5@2.8v

one of the 2 motherboards' radex 10mm fan is loud, probably dying already, came that way out of the box, the other one runs flawlessly. I wouldnt' necessarily steer anyone away from this board but i'm not going to give a glowing recommendation either. It does what it should so far, except for the near-death 10mm radex fan.

As per:

Up your tRCD rate to 1 above the RAM's rated speed.

If you have 2-3-2 ran set it to 2-4-2.

This cleared up my problems.
