XII Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Hello everyone, As I`m now the proud owner of an EXPERT, I started playing with it. Out of the box, core, mem, etc. placec, but no boot. Infinion based Xtreem pc3200 2-3-3-5 2x 1gb Single stick in slot3, boot fine, set memtable etc. Swap sticks to slot 1 + 3 = Noboot (Yellow) Swap sticks to slot 2 + 4 = Noboot (orange) Tried again with Infineon based Xtreem PC4000 2,5-4-4-8 Single stick slot 3, boot fine, memtable set etc. Ad stick2, regardles slot combination, Noboot. Tried again with Mushkin Redline`s and Infineon CE-6 sticks(No brandname on them) Changed mem, from infineon based 2x 1 gb to Samsung UCCC based Xtreem PC4000 3-4-4-8 Single stick etc. Placed in orange slots, it boots. YAHOO :nod: Placed in Yellow slots, no boot. :confused: Started Tweaking it a little. Runs rockstable 285X10 superpi, memtest, 3Dmark etc. Most important though, it is absolutely game stable. Using an NF4 Ultra-D the max I achieved game stable was 277FSB. NOW FOR THE BIG QUESTION: Is there a compatabilitie issue here, using a Clawhammer, Expert and Infineon based memory? Is the bios so optimized for the SanDiego/ Opteron core`s, or is it something else? Using an NF4 Ultra-D, all memory sticks work fine Infineon based Xtreem 2-3-3-5 runs @200 2-3-2-5 @217 2,5-3-2-6 Infineon based Xtreem 2,5-4-4-8 runs @200 2-3-2-5 @248 2,5,3,3,8 Samsung based Xtreem 3-4-4-8 runs @200 2,5-3-3-8 @233 3-3-3-8 @275 3-4-4-8 @293 3-5-5-10 (spd stock value) Mushkin Blackline pc4000 3-4-4-8@268 Has anyone had the same troubles, or found a sollution for it?

solarlove Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 The NF4EDC07 ( 2005/12/07) bios for the DFI Expert mainboard does not seem to be compatible with my memory even though it has "enhanced memory support". I think my memory is Infinion based because most 1 GB modules with fast SPD timings are Infineon based (2-3-2-5 / DDR 400). Using Bios NF4EDC07 (2005/12/07) It will only boot up with one module inserted in the orange slot that is farthest away from the Cpu. It will not boot up with both memory modules inserted in the orange slots. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mainboard: DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR Expert Revision: A3 Bios: NF4EDB02 Cpu: AMD Athlon 3200+ Codename: Winchester Revision: DH8-D0 Memory: Patriot PDC2G3200LLK Capacity: 2GB Speed: DDR 400 (Pc 3200) SPD Timing: 2-3-2-5 Voltage: 2.6v Nvidia GeForce 6200 TurboCache Western Digital Raptor Liteon DVD burner Ultra X2 550w Silver Psu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nomad Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 I am having similar problems. Got both Mushkin 2x1G sticks booting by flashing to E704-2BT with one stick, clearing CMOS with no battery, then booting into BIOS loading optimized settings, then loading known timings that worked on my Ultra-D running 257Mhz and then ran 2.8Vdimm to them. If the board is warm I can run them as low as 2.7v, but no-go on the cold boot. They run easily at that Mhz with 2.6v on the Ultra-D. If I cant get the Voltage doen I am gonna sell this board.
