DFI nF4 ultra procedure - BIOS options and TCCD


Recommended Posts

Can someone come out with a procedure and correct BIOS options for using this board with TCCD, since most of us are having this problem... Thanks!

This might help- or will the board not post?

Sorry about the size of the pic :O

Specs in signature- note the ram voltage, 0.2volts higher than needed for my Neo2

Timings not optimised completely- expect Bigtoe would probably do better :)

Wow, thats a pretty good overclock, did you have any initial problems with ur TCCD? What BIOS version and settings are you using?

 

Tes I did have some problems getting it to post with 2 x 512 OCZ PC3200 Platinum Rev 2 and shipping BIOS dated 25.01.05

 

1. Tear hair out for a while trying dual channel

2. Clear CMOS, use one stick in slot 2 -post

3. Find default RAM voltage is set to 2.5- change to 2.7

4. Reboot- flash to beta BIOS 2.01.

5. SWITCH OFF

6. Install ram is slots 2 and 4- orange

Which BIOS settings are you after?

Well I just booted it up, and the strangest things are happening. First, it powers on, beeps once, and the DFI Logo is just stuck there on the screen, then after about 5 seconds the CPU fan turns off, and I have to turn off the computer. I've tried clearing the CMOS and disconnecting all my fans except the CPU fan. I'm using a stock HSF and pluggin the fan into the CPU fan header on the mobo.

 

EDIT: Just tried pluggin in CPU fan directly to PSU and now the fan stays on. But It still just sits there with the Logo showing, and all the fans are going pretty slow...

Ok now I have 1 stick in slot 4, and the CPU fan works while connected to the motherboard header. Now instead of beeping once and freezing at logo, I get long continuous beeps, and no post. 3 out of 4 of the diagnostic LEDs are on. What now?

I had to try 1 stick in each of the different slots, clearing CMOS in between, until I found the slot which worked. Which turned out to be the orange one furthest from CPU

Ok, small update. Slots 1 and 2 beep once, but then wont get past DFI logo (3 out of 4 Diagnostic LEDs). Slots 3 and 4 won't post at all and has long continous beeps. I've tried (512mb)Corsair BH-6 as well as my (256mb)GSkill TCCD. I have no idea what to do now, i've played musical chairs with all the dimms and cleared CMOS several times!

How much "stuff" do you have plugged in? If you can just post and flash to the beta bios you'll probably be OK. So really just need the floppy and VGA.

Well I figured out i'm just an idiot...I have 2 Disc Drives and 1 IDE harddrive, well I left one of the disk drives unplugged and that seemed to be the problem. Everything is good now, dual-channel and all. Running memtest right now.
