From the reviews I've seen of the DAGF, it only does up to 3.2v VDIMM. Not bad for a value board, though.

actually i just got a reply from ryderocz on dfiu.street regarding my ocz memory--------------------
Hello Rise4310,
This ram probably won't respond to well to voltage. 2.7 - 2.8V is about it.
This ram is based on Hynix chips and does not perform well on this board at the moment, especially not the 3/10 bios.
Try the 331-2 bios Grab it here
Flash with the following switches:
awdflash {insertbiosfilenamehere.bin} /py/sn/wb/cd/cd/cp
Set the DRAM Drive strength to 6 or 8 and the DATA drive Strength to 2 or 3, timings of 2.5-3-3-8 should work fine. Everything else can be auto for now.
You will not see 275 out of this ram, it is not our best overclocking product, but 230ish or more should be possible.
I think the bios will help a bit, but as I said, Hynix has not been the best on the DFI
----------------------------
of course i know chit about ram so maybe the hyperx is hynix too?
All I meant was all memory except the HyperX will run at its rated speed on this board. You can't run the HyperX 1:1 for some reason, you have to run it with a divider no matter what, so I had to have mine running 9:10 which is 180mhz.
I am still debating on which board to buy for my first true complete build. Granted, I've added sound cards, video cards, hard drives, etc, but I've never truly built a computer from ground up. Would I be safe buying a DFI NF4 board for my first build?
It'd be safe as long as you buy memory DFI says will work with the board, IMO. DO NOT get Kingston HyperX.

Now that's a rig
that seems like some nice mem... hmm have to decide on that as i get closer to doing it.
btw, in anandtech's sli review they gave golds to both msi and dfi.. to be honest does make me apprensive as to which to choose. This is gonna be my first build and i do plan on oc'ing. (going to go with water (but vapor does sound cool though) and i dont recall if msi had/has as many concerns as the dfi.
just pondering outloud i suppose.

heya dfidude!
yea i get that... awhile back i was going ot get a asus board (cant recall name atm) and i downloaded the pdf manual. very well laid out i thought. step by step instructions. now there is a post in dfistreet that someone took the time to explain what to do.. hopefully dfi will take it and update their manual also.
(i am leaning toward dfi... msi has some nice features but if i am going to oc, well i might as well do it right.) and i don't need sli, but whats a few extra bucks in case i do decide to do it)

good choice beany. and hopefully dfi will improve their manual. coupling such a great board with such a sparse manual is a shame. seems like alot of people, myself included, weren't even sure you needed 4 power connectors in the mobo one guy had/has a fan running off the 4 pin molex one, lol.
as far as the sli, i agree. i'm not using it now, but the option for another $40 is nice. this mobo is tops.

A friend of mine has DFI ULTRA-D and HYPER X UL and they are working great... I think he's using bios 310... he's told me he could go up to 270Mhz in the memo at 1T.. I'll bring a screen and let you see..
I've read through this thread but I'm still a bit confused as to which board I should be buying.
I'm going to put in a 400+ quality PS and a venice 3200+.
I'm not really planning on running dual video cards (single X800XL) though so what is a good board for me? I will be overclocking as far as I can go on air.
Also, any reccomendations on RAM and what to look for in ram for overclocking?
One more thing, why is no one mentioning the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI boards on other threads? I thought it was as good as the DFI but had better sound. Should I be looking at this as well or stick with the DFI boards?

From what Anandtech's roundup concluded, the MSI board is a very capable board and shared Editor's Choice with the DFI. Where the DFI excels is OC ability, the MSI excels in its extra focus on higher-quality motherboard additions, such as a second SATA-II controller instead of a normal SATA-I and also its onboard SB Live! 24-bit sound. Anandtech recommends the MSI for those not interested in the most extreme OC ability and want a stable, feature-backed board. If OC ability is not the most important thing to you, I'd recommend the MSI board.
Yes, I have KHX3200ULK2/1G and DFI LP Ultra D, Working CPC 1T

Hmmm. I guess some HyperX works and some doesnt'. Mine wasn't the UL stuff, just the normal pc3200 2-3-2 ram. It refused to run 1:1 on this board, abut it worked fine on all other boards. I even sent it to DFI, they said it just would not work on the nF4 series.
rizorith: Assuming you want a dfi board, theLanparty UT ultra-d is the one you would want. It doesn't support dual video, but OCs just as well as the rest.
Not sure if this has been covered or not, but here goes anyways.
I was checking out the back of the SLI-DR box (non-UT version), when I noticed that it says it uses the Intel Azalia audio codec and has full 24/192 capability. Looked on the back of my Ultra-D box and it just says it uses the AC '97 codec. Unfortunately I noticed this while I was packaging it up to send to the person I traded it to, and so couldn't test it out to see.
Might be worth looking into. I'm kinda doubtful, but if it does, then that'd be pretty sweet.

According to Anandtech's review on the Lanparty (non-UT) SLI-DR, it has this for audio:
Karajan Audio Module
based on Realtek ALC850 8-Channel codec with 6 UAJ audio jacks, CD-in, front audio, and coaxial SPDIF In and Out
I wonder if they changed it though. That'd be very nice if they did; while I don't mind the sound quality of this board, it could always be better.

My KHX3200ULK2 is default 2 2 2 5 1T and not work in these latence, Work only 2 2 3 5 1T @ 200, 2 3 3 6 with 222, 2.5 3 3 6 1T with 250 1:1, 3 4 4 8 1T with 275, 2.5 4 4 8 2T with 300 or more.
Sorry my bad english.

I have just built the SLI-DR with a NC3500+. It boots up with no probs and incidents, and its what I am using now as I post. My only issue so far is the memory slots. CPU Z recognizes the number 2 slot as the number 3 slot, so does Everest. I have tried many ways to populate the DIMM's, single ram and two rams. The only time it boots up to windows is that if I have the number 2 slot populated, and that is recognized on CPU Z and Everest as the number 3 slot. I installed the 2 identical rams at slot 1 and 2 and it boots up, again the number 2 slot recognized as number 3 slots, and its single channel. I put 2 rams on slot 2 and 4 and number 2 recognized as number 3 slot, now its dual channel. Is this a board defect or just something on the BIOS, oh and I have the bios setting at default, have not change a thing.
It doesn't seem to like my Crucial rams too. The only time I can boot to windows is when I have the ram installed at the number 2 slot, which it reads, you guessed it, number 3 slot. any other combination 2 or three rams at different slots, no boot. It likes my Corsair XLPro though.

If you use 2 sticks of memory you should put them in the 2nd and 4th slots (the closest orange slot and closest yellow slot to the CPU).
Er whoops just read all of your post.
Have you updated to the newest BIOS? Make sure and have the 3/10 one. Kinda strange that its recognizing it as the 3 slot though.

I have not updated to the newest BIOS. Can't seem to find the link that I have bookmarked. Guess I will have to read through the threads again, unless there is someone who can direct me to it.
The other strange part with the DIMM's is that it will only accept 1 stick of my Crucial rams. Whenever I replace the Corsair XLPro with the Crucials on the same slots it will not boot up to windows or even to the BIOS.
Will update the BIOS and see what it does.
