currently running my AMD X2 3800+ @ 2430MHz 1.6v (stable for more than 24 hours prime and memtest), and the motherboard is Gigabyte K8NS Ultra 939.



with my current water cooling set, prime for 24 hours and the temperature is maintain about 54C, without aircond, if i on my aircond, the temperature is about 48C.

i was told that gigabyte is not good for OC, I am planning to get a DFI NF4, and a new 7800GT PCI-E. I am wondering, will this new motherboard can help me OC more with lower voltage?

I had tested so many combination of the BIOS configuration, and my RAM for sure can do DDR520 2.7v 3-4-4-8-1T, i just dont know why my CPU can't OC more....

need your guru suggestion, will the new DFI NF4 help? and which model should I go? I will buy a 7800GT PCI-E at the same time, but my budget for the mobo is around RM600 only.

the stepping is as show on my first attachement.

but the CPU is actually a Toledo 512KB version, which is 1MB disabled unit.

latest everest ultimate edition reported Toledo-512, and the batch is something end with AA5CD, and forumer from Anandtech said ending with CD usually is a disabled toledo.

can anyone tell me will the DFI NF4 have a better oc than my current mobo?

babyelf, ok, thank very much for your suggestion, i will go for DFI!

my HTT now is at 3x for 270MHz.

what about the Abit Fatality you are using? good oc?

talking about OC, i will prepfer DFI, but i dont know which model to go, can somebody tell me? thanks.

just got my DFI LP UD, and a 7800GT.

i decided to go for UD instead of SLI-D because some one told me UD is confirm modable to SLI-D, and i will mod it one year later, since modding will void warranty!

going to assemble it now, hope can get better result.

what a bad news, installed the new DFI-NF4-UD and 7800GT, when pluging the power suply, found out that the mobo is using 24 pin, then go to C-Zone to get a converter, but the fxxking thing is, when i on the power supply, not turn on mobo yet, the power supply will beep for long time, changed to another Enermax 300W, samething happend, I just dont know why the PSU will beep for long time.

now take out the whole mobo from the case, put back the old system, everything work fine...

i suspect it might be the converter problem, i would like to know is there any differences between 24-to-20 converter and 20-to-24 converter?? are there both same or different? the convertor wiring looks very strange when i compare the actually 20 pin and 24 pin PDU diagram.... the convertor looks like wired opposite way...

can somebody tell me is there any different between 20-to-24 and 24-to-20 convertor? been looking on internet but cannot found....

Yes i connected all, only that the 24 pin connect is using a 20-to-24 pin convertor, i dont have native 24 pin PSU!....

and the very strange thing is why the PSU is beep?? this is first time i hear that the PSU will beeep...... and beeping for long time.... changed two PSU, Enlight 420W and Enermax 300W, both beep when using the convertor and connected to the DFI.
