What's the general HT ceiling on NF4 SLI boards?

[Insane3D]

I'm just curious what's the ceiling on most NF4 SLI boards...

I'm running 315HT ATM on my EVGA board....I never expected to get much past 250...but it keeps going.

depends on the manufacturer...

dfi can go up to 400

but part of it is also dependent on the mem controller of the chip

320 is my real limit, though it says it can go to 400.

330 for mine without upping voltage,not sure if more volts would help though.

My SLI-DR goes at least up to 340. I didn't bother trying anything beyond that since I figured I would never need anything higher anyway.

Thanks...

The DFI can hit 400mhz stable, or just can go up to that in the bios? The evga can go up to 400mhz too, but I think 315mhz is the "sweet spot" for me. My memory is running 220mhz, 6-3-3 CL2, the Venice @ 2.5ghz (can run 2.6, but it wants 1.55v for that), and my HT is just under 1Ghz.

Not bad with passive cooling eh? I took off that stupid orb thing and just put on a normal passive chipset HS.

I stopped testing mine at 380mhz, it was plenty stable there. DFI UT LP NF4 series boards should all do 350mhz+. If you get a new revision DFI board (ADO instead of AAO/ABO, etc.) looks like the new ones easily do 400 and closer to 500mhz.

i've seen screenshots of it doing 400 HTT stable.

something like 7 x 400

Nice..didn't think they went so far out of spec...impressive.
