Actually you don't need the floppy and 4 pin molex connector. Those are for more voltage stability when running dual graphic cards.

Anyhow...check out this thread in XS.

i've tried normal psu also can'y ..

once i tried to change the ram voltage thingy on the top right it like worked but then it failed again after turning off ..

ok .. found the prob .. its my fault .. its the stupid gigaram and the galaxy glacier 6600GT .. both died !! darn ~~ but ive another prob .. i can't boot up through CD .. its detected but can't boot .... any help ?

again ... the ram is the fault again .. is dfi mobo very sensitive bout the ram ? coz i used transcend 256 DDR400 single channel can't boot ... but i used 512*2 DDR 400 only can .. me too noob .. but dfi kinda sensitive is it ?

// chris251285 :
go into BIOS, set first boot device to cd-rom
then save and reboot

if you are with the default BIOS 310, use the orange slot2 if you use single ram and slot2 + slot4 for dual channel

p/s : try to edit your post insteat of multipost

@Evogenix .. iam not sure wht bios iam using but i did use DIMM slot 2 and tht mobo still didin't wana boot through the cd rom .. only when i put 2 rams which is 512 only worked i even tried 256*2 also didn't managed to boot ..

sory bout the posts ..

// chris251285 :
i think you missunderstand what i said

your first question about boot into cd-rom:
if you want to boot into your cd-rom, you must select cd-rom as your first boot device in BIOS

your 2nd question about ram:
Since you can run dual channel without problem, i think the single channel failure might caused by BIOS.
try to flash your BIOS [310p] and see how it goes.

thx man .. but where to get tht bios ? .. and sory for misunserstanding as my post is kinda messy .. solved my prob though changing the stupid gigaram to transcend

You can get official DFI BIOS from www.dfi.com.tw

wana ask .. is the 4 pin and the floppy important ?? if iam using a 6600GT ?? or maybe next time dual 66ooGT ?

@evogenix .. issit this one ??

10/03/2005 Final SLI-DR/Ultra-D/SLI-D N4D310p (performance Bios) N4D310p.zip - link by kian wee ..

Yes, that's the one mentioned by evo

// chris251285 :
yupe... that was an official BIOS and recommanded for most DFI ultra-d user

i m currently using the 510-2 beta BIOS. so far so good for this beta BIOS

Evogenix

Evogenix , with the 510-2 bios , do u have the Level 4 for the DRAM DATA DRIVE STRENGTH ? Mine shows up to LEVEL 3 only...

// winc87 :
it only got lv1- lv3 for "data drive strength" in BIOS 510-2
and added a new function "dram respone time"

Evogenix

well , after tweaking for hours , i found better timings which doesnt kill the bandwidth to achieve 260fsb stable. The key is the Idle Cycle Limit.

here is my timings...
