Speed. smile.gif

Higher bus @ lowest timing in sacrifice of gay voltage. I will get rid of this crap soon.

Which bioses perform the best for you guys with BH5/UTT chips?

I tried a couple of bioses like 310 official, 313-1, 313-2. I now have trouble booting up my SLI-DR using the orange slots. Tried one BH6 stick in the 1st yellow slot and managed to flash back to 310 official. Put in 2 sticks Twinmos UTT in yellow or orange wouldn't boot either after that. Any idea what caused this?

Managed to boot in again using first yellow slot and I get a warning to use slot2 for single channel and 2 modules in slot2 n slot4 for dual channel.  sad.gif

So I tried again in slot2 and 4 as recommended but I can't boot again. The LED lights show 1,2 and 3 lit up. Can anyone help me please?

I'm using the official 310. Everytime you took your ram chip out remember to reset your bios using the jumper. I cannot boot if i make hardware changes without reseting the bios.

Try memtest with one stick first - using the top orange slot. If it pass add another stick and test it again.

Can anyone give me more information about RMA-ing a motherboard? I found the problem and its due to one of the connectors in dimm2 not making contact with my ram. There's one metal connector that appears to be flattened when the ram is inserted.

My dad got this motherboard for me from Viewnet in Lowyat plaza. Do I have to send the board back to Malaysia for RMA? Hopefully I don't have to and a local distributor can do it here for me sad.gif

If anyone knows about RMA please enlighten me. My SLI-DR is inoperable for now vmad.gif

oh no, my one and only SLI-DR buddy is having trouble. sad.gif

If you need me to RMA for you, just send it to me. I'll take care for you. I know the viewnet staff very well.

i think the warranty is quite good la...it's 5 years warranty isn't it...and i believe it's 2 years 1-to-1 warranty or izzit shop warranty...other 3 need direct with the manufacturer...just make sure u have their invoice or invoice number...maybe kianwee can confirm with his buddy over there...good luck
*
I think DFI board is 3 yrs warranty, and viewnet's policy of 1-1 exchange if i am not mistaken is the first 3 months.

normal? dunno y.... but seems i cant really clip that system fan into the mobo (i mean the dfi stock fan).
*
At default the chipset fan is loose (try to move it, it wiggles). what i did was i took out the chipset fan and remove the gay square sponge, remove the yellow thermal conductive shit (you will know why when you see it) and apply some AS5. Snap that cooler back and voila, my temp now idle at 42. Before that was 47-48.

erm my idle chipset temp is around 43C and when running stressprime it goes as high as 50C - 51C

yes it still wiggles biggrin.gif but just 1 to 2 degrees... (42C<--43C-->44C)

i have one vantec iceberg chipset hsf.. never try it yet.. dunno whether it performs better than this DFI stock or not..

It doesn't fit. The hole layout is not same with our board. Unless you drill a little. smile.gif

last time i already removed the original pad that comes with the chipset fan. then i attached as5.. but still hot..  thumbup.gif  doh.gif

the first time i apply AS5 on my chipset, my temp rises to 60!! then i realise i applied too much, reapply again and it works. I'm in air cond room, without air cond the temp rose to 50..... shakehead.gif

28 degrees cpu temp? That doesn't sound right. Is that reading accurate? My watercool processor at stock settings and in a low 20's room is mid 30's only......

if i turn off the air cond the temp rose to 38-40. do you think it is ok? I'm not sure.

any suggestion, guys?

did you remove that square sponge? after removing it, i get better temp. And try lapping your heatsink. originally it is not smooth at all. prepare for 3-4 degrees lower after lapping. smile.gif
