Epox Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Hey, I just built a system using the DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra-D and a AMD Athlon 64 X2 CPU, I had the same questions before hand too... 1) Out of the box, the CPU and board will WORK together. 2) You should update the bios to the latest one on the DFI site (2005/06/23 as of TODAY) as soon as you can though. I updated mine after running Memtest86+, way before I even installed my hard-drives, to make sure my memory and CPU were doing OKAY. But yeah, It will boot, and you'll be able to flash the bios with the X2 processor installed. If you have any questions and need rather immediate answers you can IM me via AIM: MansfieldSenior Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shogo Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Salut, oui cette motherboard la supporte les X2, la seule chose serait que le bios de la motherboard soi un vieu bios, si la motherboard que tu as acheter est un model plus encien qui vien avec les vieux bios qui ne supporte pas les X2. Tu va etre capable de POST-er pareille sauf quil faudrai que tu update le bios.la meilleur facon que je te suggere est daller downloader le CD que les gars sur ce board on fait, cest vraiment facile, plug and play.. tu met ton boot sequence pour quil boot sur le cd, tu tassure de choisire le bios qui correspond avec la motherboard. sur ce cd tu as la derniere version qui est le 704-2TBA. supporte mon 4400+ parfaitement. si tu as des probleme ajoute moi a ton msn: [email protected] cool bonne chance!

colelt1 Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 When I installed my x2 3800 it would boot, but if you did anything that you needed to reboot, like made a bios change, it would never boot, and you would have to reset the bios jumper. I downloaded the bios update on another computer then brought the disk over to the new one, flashed the bios and it fixed it.

fr333zin Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Hi LockheadQC, all 4 power connectors have to be fitted on the board, that is 1 24 pin, 1 4 pin, 1 x full size molex and 1 x floppy disk connector. The last one powers the CPU... If you look in the stickies there are some useful diagrams of where the connectors are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fr333zin Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 All credit to TMOD. He kindly makes this CD image available which has all DFI NF4 BIOSs and some utilities for testing. Available here: http://www.biosmedic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18 There is a lot of information in these forums, I recommend you read all the stickies first, then use the search facility if you can't find what you need Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
