OPB's DFI NF4 SLI-DR Basic Tests

[Onepagebook]

hi all, I know some of you laready ordered DFI
So, I did some test on my daily basis setting on this board.
Hope it helps.
Let's see some impotant settings under bios.
These parameters are what I have been discussing with Oskar so far.
from Advance chipset:
" Errata 94 Enhancement"..if you are using winne, you gotta disable this!




some OC:

for me, 292fsb can only use 2.6v vdimm



some Dram parameters
Bank interleave..is here.



go on:



************************************************** *********************

Test setup:
MainboardFI SLI-DR, bios 1.25
RAM: GSkill TCCD LE 512x2, 1g dual channel

thanks all

nice LCD

...droooooool

OPB, so what's that "Errata 64 Enhancement" option for then?

[eva2000]

nice any windows app to see if bank interleaving is in fact enabled ?

can you do a bank interleave on/off comparison benchmark of memory bandwidth ?

I will definitely do that later on

OPB. Good results with those setup. Your SMARTGUADIAN is showing ATX 12V as 11.9V. I beleive you are using PC Power & Cooling PSU which is adjustable. Try and adjust it to something like 12.5 +/- 0.2V. for a stable 12V rail. The 3.3 and 5V rail seems okay.

[eva2000]

smartguardian has never been accurate normal under reports by 0.2-0.3v probably same for DFI NF4

Always good to have your preview, OPB.

Looks like in your testing the board favors FSB over tight timings - which GSkill sticks are you using for the DDR600 benches? Was planning on getting OCZ VX for my SLI-DR, but now I'm not so sure

EDIT: I see you're using the TCCD LE's, my bad.

[quicksilverXP]

Hey... you mean at High memory FSB... you can't run more than 2.6v? Or you mean at high HTT, you can't run more than 2.6v?

That sucks.. I was planning to run my CPU at 305x9, and use a memory divider on some UTT or OCZ VX at 166Mhz divider... but I would need vdimm to be high at those HTT frequencies.

[zA.Gosu]

I wouldn't buy VX if you can get TCCD and want to get high fsb. Simple as that

[idleuser]

It's easier to get low timing with VX than getting high FSB with the TCCD running slightly higher timing at 1:1 that is why VX are nice as well too

[Zanr Zij]

good work guy, OPB... Which BIOS use 4 LDT Vol setting ? Thx

[HARDCORECLOCKER]

THX - nice work dude. Cross Ya fingers for me - need 11 x 306 or 10 x 336.

What about " Errata 94 Enhancement" when usin' FX-55 and no winnie ???

On or Off ???

[HARDCORECLOCKER]

Any answer ???

[DevilsRejection]

OPB, just a question, is this your work bench computer, or your home pc?

[TinTin]

Errata 94 Enhancement? what is that?

[Onepagebook]

Any answer ???

OFF

****************

DevilR, that's my personal use computer.


**************************************

Zanr Zij,

I think either 1.25 or 2.01

*****************

quicksilverXP, sorry to let you confused,
I mean I don't have to use high vdimm to do that high fsb..

[shuRe]

i think u need to get a good air cooler tbh, 200C a bit high

[Onepagebook]

i think u need to get a good air cooler tbh, 200C a bit high

ya?
dude, 256 showing as 0c actually!

[Snowman89]

i think u need to get a good air cooler tbh, 200C a bit high

the windows hardware shows it wrong, think it is something like 228-250=-22 or something like thata you need to do to get the right temps in windows

[Bennah]

Nice results.

Good for you to show us the bios options. Seems to have a load of options on mem...

That LCD of yours rocks Im thinking of buying a new LCD. Is it a widescreen btw ? Sorry for off topic

[HARDCORECLOCKER]

Errata 94 Enhancement? what is that?

Me also don't know - but now I know it has to be off (#17 )........

[quicksilverXP]

I'm pretty sure it's Apple's Widescreen LCDs.... either the 20 inch of the 23 inch... or if my eyes are deceiving me.. the 30 inch. That alone makes all of us hate you.

[Bennah]

You got it right quick...

and then he arrives with these results which are just 'basic' tests

j/k

[D_o_S]

OPB does it again...

So what would you guys reccomend for my DFI SLI-DR: G.SKILL LE's or some VX???
