l3lackh0le Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 do sli-dr and ultra-d mobos use the same bios? i just received my mobo and they shipped the sli-dr instead of the ultra-d (goin to keep the sli-dr of course). anyways i was wondering if they used the same bios. i have the tmod's bios cd. the screen shot seems to show either the expert or the regular nf4 lanparty(ultra-d).

Guest caffeinejunkie Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 I would imagine so The only physical difference between the sli-dr and the ultra-d is the extra controller for the second set of sata ports (and the pins on the chipset not being crossed) but I would stick to it's bios just to stay safe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
l3lackh0le Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 yea i'm pretty sure they're the same too. just a little paranoid b/c it's my first build and all i don't want to do anything stupid to blow anything up haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dab Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 You are a very lucky guy, I wish they sent me a SLI-DR for the price of an Ultra-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest caffeinejunkie Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 If you got a circuit writer then whats the difference lol well the extra sata but there arent too many people who need more than 4 ports Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dab Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 I'm the kinda guy that buys hard disks often.. i could easily use more than 4 ports. Too bad I didn't think of this when I ordered my Ultra-D. No matter, I will probably sell this system off and start from scratch very soon. I want crossfire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
