Friend. do a google 1st next time k? It seems early revisions of Nf4 Ultra chipsets were the same die as the NF4 SLi-D chipsets but SLi disabled. Have to just bridge a few pin outd

Probably a hardware lock caused by sertain instabillity in sub functions whenh running on EMT64

For one very simple reason...the abillity to support VDIMM higher then 3.1V's that the Infinity supports at the moment.

OK, this sounds stupid but am thinking of my options for my upgrade. Here's my question:

Are there any modded BIOS's for the Lanparty UT nF3 Ultra D which allows VDIMM selection upto 3.3v or not? Please do tell me and if possible link to me the work around to it

umm...reluctant to switch to PCI-E?
would be better to go straight for a NF4 board instead

I know but the thing is something came up and caused my budget for my that new rig to be reconsidered. Not interested in getting the Infinity's as they don't impress me much comparatively so was wondering what other options do I have anyway

Hey mate,
The problem with nF3 Ultra-D is the actual VDIMM will never go above 3.2V even if you selected 3.3V through the BIOS. The hardware is the limiting factor here..... not the software. Therefore, I suggest that you grab a DDR Booster and match it up with the motheboard. I've been messing with the nF3 Ultra-D before and managed to do 3.6V with the Booster.

Anyways, this thread is purely for nF4... isn't it?

Even if I overvolt my PSU pcmoddingmy? Cos at the moment the PSU is actually overvolting by 0.1v for VDIMM (Yes, I'm taking it with a pinch of salt MBM5's readings) so if say one sets 3.2v, can we hope to get at least a 3.3v output if say the darn thing allows overvolting?

if there is a bios that allows >3.2v like the one on the DFI NF3 250GB then you can..

and to be getting 3.3v you will need your 3.3v line to be around 3.4-3.5v
*
If there's anyone in the know about the BIOS modded to have 3.3v option open, let me know thanks. And yes, my PSU does overvolt at the 3.3v rails as readings according to MBM5 is about 3.46v

imo, this board ain't gud for venice 3k + tccd users, to use tccd on this board, atleast a chip w/ 10x multi is a muz, else tccd works like d43 onli...  sad.gif

OT: woot... looks like i'll have sumone who gona use d same mobo like me...  thumbup.gif

Owh ic, actually plan to use it with an Opty 144/146 and BH5's and see how it goes from there

Anyone who's tried OC'ing LP UT nF3 250Gb on a pair of BH5's could you please share with me screen shots of your A64 Tweak cos I'm having a hard time to make my sticks stable even at 3.1v (Don't worry, a Booster is on the way)

Question is, is CnQ enabled or not? And using what heatsink? And what work if any was done to it?

Any DIY suggestions to cool down the NB of the nF3 250gb? Think I need to sort out mine as it's getting quite hot now and I can't zip tie a 40mm fan on it as my Arctic Silencer is in the way.

i looking for vs rams ddr400 1gb kit which are suitable for dfi nf 4 ultra-d and my opty 170 so anyknow which brand is more prefer and which brand should i  not be buying..

thanks

remarks:also planning to overclock my opty 170...

Budget end OC: Hynix D43's

Tight timing's but require high volts: Inifineon BH5's

Loose timings but high FSB's: Samsung TCCD's

High capacity RAM with overclokabillity: Samsung UCCC's

Take your pick and check out the Memory's bulks for prices

Salah cakap bang. something else was on my mind. Winbond BH5's actually.

But some of the high performace RAMs are dropping down in price anyway, so you shouldn't be too picky. And anyway, if you're gonna OC a 170, you should give it the parts that it deserves

It's generally a work around to get higher clockspeeds based on what I've read so far. This is due to the fact with odd number divisors, your clocks may not be always be stable. So what this divisor does is to correct to the nearest even divisor number in order to achieve your targetted clocks. Although I don't know if this is a workaround for those who have procs with maximum divisors odd numbered at say 9, 11 and 13 (i.e getting even numbered divisiors instead like 10, 12 and 14 if following the given example)

my best advice is to try to startup the rig using a normal proc and see how it goes. Try using AG's recommended setting up process of one stick of RAM and not hooking up other parts not required for booting. I'm guessing is the voltage pull at default is not enough untill manual settings are done.

This probably includes start-up voltage which Opteron's being of San Diego core are a bit higher (especially for 165, 144's I'm hearing no problem) and at do some tests from there. Try subjecting the rig to some load and see what's the reaction. At times maybe the PSU's faulty.

Then most likely a stepping issue IMHO. Have you tried with other procs?

Chargey, any DFi hardcore enthusiast will let you know that stabillity is achievable if and only if you set manually all the timings. Timings are key to stabillity even at stock.
