    Some update for DFI NF4 board

    1.Temp trick prevent Winchester subzero problem:
    **from friend MGV101's explanation

    The board displays the temperature using a 8bit binary digit which could display up to 256C.

    It cannot display -ve numbers so when it drops down below 0 (00000000), it jumps back up to 256 (11111111).
    This is when you install the ITE SmartGuardian monitor program. like the pic below, you can see the temp is 239, so:
    239-256=-17..that's about it!



    2. I am testing the newest bios Oskar gave me tonight which add the Bank Interleaving as I read it from the thread the other day (I forgot which thread), that's what I suggest him to do so.

    Stay tune

    Hey give that CPU some volts. Let's see some real overclocking

    Can you post benches before & after interleave fix and compare to the MSI mobo as well?

    so even though it thinks the temps are enough to melt the computer, it lets it boot?

    2.9V - still some volt-loving TCCD.

    I meant can your memory do this @ CL2 on OTHER boards or only on this DFI?

    Use a DDR Booster for 3.5v, use DFI and a monster PSU for 4v.
