this is my 2nd rig. my first rig doesn't have internet connection and it is downstairs.

i use "air-cond" cooling - i get a portable air-cond and blow directly into the side panel's fan.

owh.. sorry if a bit offtopic.. can u post the pic of ur portable aircon ? no idea how does it looks like hehe

it looks like this



if you are interested in getting one, let me know.

kianwee, huhu this aircond use water ar?

erm how much it is?

no water is needed, and no water will be produced. it will release hot air from the back of the unit via a hose. u need to connect that hose to some exit, say a window?

how come this thread become PSU thread and now become cooling thread dy ?
lol

and worse, it's room cooling, not pc cooling

just joking

im having this problem with my DT-d43... it can run 255mhz with clock-gen with winnie running at 2.42g. but when i try to OC through bios, cannot boot to windows even with 215mhz with my DT-d43. i have to OC manually through clock-gen everytime i open my pc..

is this something to do with the bios ram setting? its a bit complicated for me.. can anyone help me with this..??

what bios version are you using?

stok bios, guess the old one, since i have prob in the beginning. only after i follow ur guide, it can boot to windows...

i tot i m the only one that have this problem... seem like i m not alone .. LOL~!!
my bt-j better than your , it also stuck at 230htt 1:1 @ 1T, no matter what itiming i gave it, it still stuck there...

i think nForce4 got problem with value ram "

Evogenix

try updating to 3/10 bios (N4D310)

is there another way to solve this problem...?? coz i dunno how to flash bios..

thats what i did =)
result : same

Evogenix

have you tried 2.5-3-8-3 setting?

that is my timing now.. 2.5,3,3,8 at 255mhz. but through bios cant boot even with 215mhz. max is 210mhz..

afaik, the dfi nf4 really hates hynix. there are plenty of people who can't even get it to work at all. i guess a bios flash will slove your problem, but like evogenix, you can't go high.

try flashing the bios. if you do not know how to flash using dos prompt, use winflash.

LOL... did all the nessasary thing edi

tried every single ways that will lead me to a little bit of sussess... but still, failed
even do it in 2T.. losen all the timing 3-4-4-8
adjusted vdimm from 2.7-3.2
adjusted multiplier, vcore
even disable those LAN and sound "
and lastly change psu from enlight to acbel.. bah...

FAILED
hmm...

btw, i gave up edi... hoping got new BIOS release that will fix this problem

Evogenix

Well, DFI boards were never really easy to work with especially in the begining. Once you've tweaked everything right, the board really shines with its full potential unleashed. Just gotta be a little patient and hope for better bios release and a considerable amount of time tweaking

how's ur temp doing...almost similar to mine...but dunno what's wrong...it shoot up to 80C [reported by SpeedFan]...damn hot...but still manage to prime stable for > 2hours [stopped the test already]...only oc'ed to 2.2g [245x9.0]@1.56v...trying to get highest possible with mem timing at 2336...222x is a dream that would never come true with my ram stick...
