seting up dfi ultra-d

[twitchee2]

i am a first time builder i understand how everything goes together. but does the ddfi usually boot up with out a hitch? i will be running everything at stcok speeds no ocing for a while. i just want to know if it should be easy to get up and runing. thanks for your time to look at this post and add comments on it.

All depends, you gotta have a compatible ram. DFI loves OCZ.

yeah, what are your parts. and check out dfi.street.

heres my first boot-
1-fire it up, hit del and enter bios
2-go to "load optimized defaults" hit yes then save and exit.
3-on reboot, hiit del and enter bios
-go to advanced and check boot order. go down to the bottom and disable full screen logo
- go to genie bios, set vid to 1.4v and spec to 104%, dram to 2.7v.
4-save and exit.

on step 4 i always also enable memtest and run at least a full pass with no errors. its the last option down the bottom.

then you do your os install, chipset drivers, vid drivers and go from there.

no different than any other board.

Make sure you have at least a 480 watt PSU with a native 24 pin connector as well.

If you have a 480w PSU w/24-pin connector, everything should boot up fine with the optimized defaults loaded.

It's when you start tinkering that it can get messy with the DFI board.

running DFI Ultra D with 400W Seasonic PSU and Corsair RAM...stock speeds. No problems whatsoever. With your setup, you won't need much power. I do recommend u get native 24 pin PSU though...as the Seasonic is.
