thankss man

So have you tried the beta bios with X-Fi?

wahhh...nice...armor black summore...really matching with front panell...nyum nyum....

p/s:really missed my fatality SLI days....

Get another one ... hehehe

no problem here

So, it's confirmed that bios 18 solved the issue while bios 17 is still showing incompatibility with X-Fi.

I'll get an X-Fi soon then. Thanks for the confirmation, Irenic.

the link i posted is released full version bios 18 now..
X-FI Issue is confirm fix...
1. Enhanced some VGA cards compatibility.
2. Update nVIDIA RAID BIOS to V4.8
3. Enhanced DRAM compatibility.
4. BIOS compiled date: 09/27/2005

confirm it is fix compartible with X2 too...
updated ram timing...

it is so far so good to me...

any KN8 User here ??

Abit Fatal1ty AN8 SLi or DFI LANPARTY UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert. which one isbetter?

Both has pro n cons

Bro,
SLI-DR Expert is more expensive than the Fatal1ty AN8 SLI.
Besides, if you are not into hardcore overclocking, you can save up some cash and grab the AN8 SLI (non Fatal1ty) or NF4 SLI Infinity.

Btw, anyone with AN8 here having issues with OCZ RAMs?
I've been testing the AN8 SLI with OCZ PC3200 Gold BH5 and the mobo will automatically shutdown if VDIMM goes any higher than 3.2V. This mobo is supposed to go up to 3.5VDIMM but it is stable only to 3.2V, sighzzz...

I guess no one has the RAMs you mentioned. They're pretty rare over in Malaysia I guess. It's not that common here as well in Oregon, unless you are ordering via newegg.

Since you have some of these OCZ RAMs, how's the performance of them? I saw a lot of Platinums over here that is rated PC3200, but I heard it overclocks pretty badly, only reaching 220 or 230 max.

run at stock.. go for the cheaper board...

running OC... definite DFI...

dun wan lar...tidak mungkin berpaling lagi - SLAM


ehem..ehem...

that kinda question should be answered in 1 way only....

GOOGLE LAHHH!!!!

hihihihi

Abit much better...can overclock..plus cheaper than DFI

i need some help...is there any issues for abit an8-sli mobo with corsair xms4400 tccd rams?

what kind of problems??

AFAIK TCCD works fine with AN8....Like mine last time....Unless if ur running dual channel and try rocketing sky high than i dont know if failure is the problem u mentioned??

Abit AN8 SLI will have no issues with XMS4400 TCCD RAMS. I've personally tested XMS3200XL TCCD RAMs on this mobo and managed to get a whopping 325MHz (DDR650) with it. And yes, it was running dual channel and prime stable!

But, it might be a lil' bit harder to reach higher speeds with 1Gb kit (mine was 512MB kit). Also, it depends on your processor..... since the memory controller is on the processor itself.

Although this mobo lacks drive strength, tref and a few more memory tweaking options via the BIOS, its just a matter of time when Abit releases a new BIOS with all the goodies. BIOS 18 and BIOS 19 has been the most stable so far, so you might wanna update the BIOS.

Bottom line; you should have no issues when running Corsair or Mushkin modules on this mobo. But, there seems to be some issue with OCZ BH5 RAMs with this mobo.

bios 19 lunch already ?? anybody hav test it ??

thanks for the helpful info guys....well now im running on default bios which is bios 15.....well the problem i encountered first was:

i set bios settings all on default...even dram settings as well. then install windows....BLUE SCREEN....then i change my ram timing to 2T....then i had no problems.....

after installing windows...i tried again to change it to 1T....ok...no problem for now. then i started to OC....well...i have no problems overclocking it to 250htt....but i have problem if i go higher then that....i will get blue screen or maybe super pi cannot pass.....

so im really wondering wats the problem....ive even increased the voltage upto 2.9v the max for tccd.....but still no changes.....same problem....

i used to use these rams b4 with my neo2platinum...n i manage to clock it at 310htt.....n now im wondering where have i gone wrong??

n btw...im using a single msi 6600gt diamond edition....how come it shows that my 6600gt is running on PCIex 8x.....instead of 16x???
