DFI NF4 Expert users, are you all having temperature being read incorrectly? I'm getting myself an expert and i want to know whether there is any LYNer has the same problem with those in dfi-street. smile.gif

It is a very nice bios as i have tested it. Initially my mushkin BH5 was not stable at 250MHz @ even 3.5V. After i have flashed to this bios, it allows the ram to do 260MHz @ 3.2V only. Here is the screenie :

memtest86 stable does not mean windows prime stable. for blend test, the first is stressing the ram smile.gif

I tried the old 11/14 and the new 4/6, both oso same
Well, finally i found the root of the problem... it's so funny !!
My Prime95 version is too old, using new SP2004 and the latest revision of Prime95, everything runs fine LOL!!!

no wonder my prime keep auto close last time even though i think the timing shud b ok (bcoz i already set to really really loose timing but still failed).

thx for all the advice thou  notworthy.gif

i faced the same problem too after using the latest SP2004. now gonna back to previous version and see what will happen.

i think i also use the latest SP2004..but also have problem..
from my reading opty very sensitive with preamble and max asynchronous
actually people use 9/7.5, 9/7, 8/6, 8/5.5,
want try it after this... blush.gif

for winbond bh/utt series, using 1:1 divider, the best value is 7/5 but others divider, use 8/6 or 9/6.

Hi guys, js wondering if your vcore reading is way below the set one.

For me, when i set to 1.45V (either 1.40V * 104%, or normal 1.45V), ITE / MBM / CPU-z reads 1.42 only

When I set to 1.475V, I am only able to get 1.44V. I'm wondering if my board voltage regulator has problem, bcoz a few of my fren's nF4 Ultra-D wont undervolt that much.

have you try measure by DMM ? smile.gif

My Vcore drops 0.035V
Vdimm increased 0.03V (sometimes 0.11V when using super tight timing)

I noticed when the voltage is pumped up, the votlage drop is getting worse.

Here are some results:
1.400 >> 1.372
1.425 >> 1.390
1.450 >> 1.408 (worst case)
1.456 >> 1.420 (1.40 * 104%)
1.475 >> 1.440
1.500 >> 1.462
1.508 >> 1.470 (1.45 * 104%)
ITE/MBM/CPU-z shows similar results.

the vdimm for ultra-d is kinda overvolt much, let say, when set 3.4v in bios, the bios reading is 3.48v~3.49v, and ITE reading is 3.43~3.44v. and you compare with my expert reading (with DMM also), you'll notice that the bios reading was exactly same as the vdimm you set, and the actual value near it too. that's why expert is a bit difficult to overclock compare to ultra-d.

for my ex (xp120), i believe it was the problem w/ d bracket. the heatsink seemed didn't able to make full contact w/ d IHS, dats y the temp was so high, but come to think of it, i was play w/ 1.45V vcore (or above) all the time, so my assumption mite be wrong...  laugh.gif

now i only play w/ 1.44V max, w/ my f64, temp highest is 48'C.  smile.gif

bro, kinda high sweat.gif mine now priming at 2.8G @ 1.43v in bios reading or 1.42v in DMM reading, using xp90c pair with 92mm fan @ 2.2krpm, 38~39'c

update 4 ur info. my RAMs cant do 300HTT even at 5:6 divider. i think that is the max for cheapop BT-D43 can do. i pass the 32mb calculation but when i put 300HTT even at 1.55vcore, my system cant boot, probably by my RAMs. so, unofficially current highest attempt was 2.9Ghz@ 1.42vcore.  rclxm9.gif

how bout urs?? mind to share  thumbup.gif

mine is bad... 2.9GHz need 1.54v to prime stable and yes, now still priming. sweat.gif
