Arghh, i must be very lucky to have a good DFI mobo. 7 months old but never had single boot problem. I only had this issue if the settings are not stable or set the vcore too high for my proc. Thus, i can only run 2.5GHz at 1.4v.

Just flash to the 704-2BTA by Bigtoe. Almost every users recommend this bios.

gsan, it is not caused by your cpu but your ram. I found out that certain DRAM DATA STRENGTH and DRAM DRIVE STRENGTH might give you BSOD while priming. The memtest and Super PI are kinda useless to detect error as it is not as stressful as prime. Try changing the above to see whether you still get the same error.

QUOTE(irenic @ Feb 6 2006, 05:13 PM) u can get it from fang.. Prime or not does not affect the chipset temperature much. Perhaps you should move a large amount of data from one HDD to another to see how hot it is. hmm here is the screenshot with dual prime for 1hrs+  |

hehehehe......
 Transfer as much as possible, just keep the chipset busy transfering the data to your hdd.  |

wow 45C. It's good. My chipset temperture goes up to 50C when i transfer files from hdd to hdd. Using stock cooler of course. Idle at 47-48C.

The vdimm is derived from 5V rail of the PSU rail. The floppy molex is far away from the vdimm voltage regulator, which is unlikely to supply power for RAM.

Don't worry about the 4Vdimm heatsink. The mosfet itself can sustain up to 160C if i'm not mistaken.

QUOTE(diablo69 @ Mar 11 2006, 11:07 PM) does anybody know wats the general guideline for pwm temp... pwm temp is bothering from OCing higher.... coz i set da pwm temp alarm at 50... is tis to low... The maximum PWM temperature is definitely higher than 100C. Normally it will run under 50C if you have proper airflow so it will not cause any instability issue. |

QUOTE(joylay83 @ Mar 11 2006, 10:57 PM) oic... single channel... my apologies A ram chip with higher density means it has more transistors and more delay paths, a signal need to travel longer to get certain piece of data. afaik 512mb sticks uses higher quality chips and hence are more overclockable 1gb sticks have higher capacity but are less overclockable coz their chips are slightly crappier. so in conclusion, you must see what you need: volume or speed. if you need speed, then get 512 sticks and OC it to the max. if you are processing files/medias of a few gigabyes, get 1gb sticks. f = 1/t , t is longer thus f is lower. That is why the clockspeed of the ram cannot be overclocked as high as lower density ram. It is not becaused of the ram chips are crappier. |

PWM is not chipset. PWM = Pulse-width modulation. It is being used to regulate the voltage and current. The output will approximate a voltage at the desired level for CPU. It is a small IC located near the CPU socket.

lol, your high chipset temperture must be caused by the sapphire x800GTO2. Before i got this card, the temperature was only 44C and now it is 48C at idle., full load at 50C.

Don't worry, it wont affect your OCing. The memory controller is no longer in the chipset but the CPU.

lol you are right, but you asked that you are afraid the temperature of chipset will affect your OCing. So it is NO as the southbridge handles only all your drives, PCI slots and your graphic card. Have you noticed that OCing your system does not give any impact to the chipset temperature?

Yeah the warranty stick has something like circles on it. Bring your receipt too.

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.

huh? So weird? Your temperature is considered normal now after you have plugged in your opty 170?

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 :
