ok guys..
Gigabyte confirmed with me that new batch of Gigabyte GF6600GT PCI-E (GV-NX66T128D
) has the SLi bridge inside the packaging ...

* something really nice for DFI-nF4 Ultra D users

hi, i just bought this DFI nf4 SLI D.. at 1st have problem with my d43 ram.. it cant run stable at 1T setting @200mhz .. then i flash to latest bios and the problem solved..

now i'm running prime at 237x11 @ 1.52vcore, 2.5-4-4-10 1T @2.9v

yup, dfi nf4 board doesn't seem to like my ocz plat rev.2 as well, especially in dual channel. bios upgrade doesn't fix my prob. i have to manually set the genie bios.

wonder if u guys seen this yet
might be good news for us ultra-d users
vga bridge

hie guys wana ask a lil noob ques ..

coz iam a lil confused here but does the SLI-D mobo comes with the SLI bridge ?? r u guys talking tht Ultra-d doesn't come with the bride and need to get the gigabyte crad to get the free sli bridge ?

Nice results! Looks like SLI setups can boost scores by almost half!

Anyone to share good memory timings/settings?

If you are having problem with dual channel, here are the settings:

Genie Bios first entry at top> DRAM CONFIGURATION
a1. 200 Dram Frequency 1:1
a2. Enable CPC
a3. 2.5
a4. 04
a5. 07
a6. 04
a7. 07
a8. 14
a9. 05
a10. 03
a11. 02
a12. 05
a13. 3120
a14. 05
a15. Bank Interleave= DISABLED
a16. DQS Skew Control = INCREASE
a17. DQS Skew Value = 0 (zero)
a18. Dram Drive Strength= Level 6
a19. Dram Data Drive Strength= Level 4
a20. MAX ASYNCH LATENCY = 7X
a21. READ PREAMBLE= 5X
a22. IDLE CYLCE= 256 cycles
a23. DYNAMIC Counter= Disabled
a24. R/W Que Bypass = 16x
a25. ByPass Max 7X
a26. 32 Byte Granularity = Disable 8 Bursts.

i'm getting a NF4 Ultra, is there anything that i should do if i wan to OC??
Is BIOS update needed??

About the vga bridge, can we get it in M'sia juz like that packaging??

For those plan to get a DFI nF4 Ultra D to mod it to SLi..
please check your nF4 Ultra chipset ..

the 1st pic is able to do the mod coz it is engineering sample or early stock
the 2nd pic is the recent nf4 ultra board that I received, Nvidia did some hard mod on this chipset, so It is highly unmoddable .. (this is my observation only, not sure)

I read elsewhere if you are brave enough, you can scrape off the enamel they used to cover the 2 points. All you have to do then is connect the bridges with some conductive material e.g. conductive pen.

Do at your own risk though. Looks like its very easy to scrape too much off

i'll give it a try soon. wish me luck.

Best of luck mate!

I think it would be a good idea to look out for newer guides that describe the steps to do it before you start. Don't wanna kill a brand new board there.

havent check mine yet...hope it's moddable...
anyway...just got the time to setup my rig last nite...i got a few question if anyone mind to share their expertise:

1. Anybody use the Thermalright XP-120 with Ultra-D. it's damn hard to put my Twinx1024-C2PRo coz of the damn big ramsink.
2. Coz of #1, I can only put them on DIMM 1 & 3 (after doing some wresting with the HSF), but once power up, got beep and the led showed that my ram are not detected even thou i can see the led on my ram is going up and down i.e. some activites going on. Already flash the bios to the latest one. Pull out the power cable, cleared the CMOS, unplugged the battery. wait some time and reverse the process. Start the system, OK. But if I go into the BIOS and load the optimized setting and restart, got the same problem back. RAM not detected. Once, i tried to proceed to load windows without entering the loading the optimized setting - OK. Got into windows, mem running at dual-channel. But when I restart the pc, same thing happen again. RAM CANNOT BE DETECTED again. aiya....
3. to run at dual-channel, do I need to put the sticks at DIMM2 & 4 i.e. ONLY - cannot put at DIMM1 & 3 like most P4 mobo. Running single channel is OK btw but defeat the purpose of having the matched pair, izznt it.

any help is very much appreciated. meanwhile, i'll be going for a looong sailing over the net to find the solution.

Yeah...2 & 4 only just like the manual says. Should have installed the rams....THEN install the heatsink.

was hoping the manual and the warning by BIOS is wrong... ... need to take out the monsters again la...both of them...the hsf and the c2pro...need to find a way some how...
but...i wonder why when i reset the cmos, restart, proceed to windows w/out going into bios, cpu-z detected my mem is running on dual channel...and this is at DIMM1 & 3...hmmm...maybe dfi need to come-out with another fix for this...if not, then there's no need to have the diff color coded for dimm1&3 and dimm2&4, isn't it?
