DeNs Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Right for damage for overclocking , so why DFI put this word on his board? Well did they actually every say there that they'd cover it? Almost everyone knows anyway that overclocking will void your warranty, and if you really can't afford to overclock, then don't. Well I picked up mine from PCCG today. AU$179 most defenitely well spent I'd say. Got an XP120 and an Ultra High speed panaflo fan to go with it. Unfortunately my plans didn't go to well with getting a venice for it, but from first glimpses it seems that my old winnie isn't that bad after all. Max OC: Neo2 - 2.5GHz 1.55v Ultra-D - Priming @ 2.6GHz 1.5v Settings: HTT: 260 Multi: 10x LDT: 3x Timings: 2.5-3-3-7 @ 2.8v Now I couldn't even boot at 2.6GHz, let alone prime for 45 minutes (so far) on my old Neo2. I really like the mem options so far, but I guess i'm only surprised because I haven't actually owned a DFI board before. However it is QUITE early days, so we'll see what will happen later on with this. Anyway, on with the pictures! Note: that's me I'll keep you guys up to date. I can't believe i've actually got it though. More than a year's wait and now it's finally here. Was worth the wait ---dens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manufacter are not in right IMHO if put on his site this tipe of publicity: Keeping the signature UV-reactive components on board, the UT series aims to please with its rich feature set and outstanding overclocking performance. Becose for me and other this means that DFI have test his board for this tipe of technique. And if i and other buy this board is also for this. Sure if i damage my component for my negligence, the guilt is only mine. I appreciate the work of AG and RGone, they are employee like me, they are not DFI associates. I see in this type of view. If you buy a car that for the manufacture can do 200mhp an in the fact yuo can do only 50mph who is in error you or the manufacturer?

FabinovX Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 hello everybody. i'm new in this forum. i bought from germany (i'm french) a brand new NF3 ULTRA-D and i'm really disappointed. it's the first time i buy DFI mobo and, well, this is not the best choice i've made in my life :nod: for just a little moment i hope. i've a brand new SD 3700+ i ordered with the mobo last week. after some long hours in order to make it run @ stock speed without hanging, i manage to obtain a little more stability but some games still hang or crash. i use to play Forgotten Battles online at night... :mad: fastwrite = off (on = more unstable) HTT multiplier set @ 4 (5 crash) memory set @ 2T (1T crash) 200Mhz bus speed. 2-3-2-6 stock timings @ 2.7 V all is @ stock speed and this mobo doesn't want to run stable. what the matter with it ? the vcore shows 1.28 V under XP and under pc health in BIOS. is it the 1.28 correct or is it 1.4 i've put in my settings ? DFI tech support told me to flash the Bios with the last beta release, but i've read your threads, and i think i won't do that. don't want to blow up my new SD 3700+ because of this !$@"é mobo. it's a shame, how can DFI release a card that can't run @ stock 6/8 monthes after all other manufacturers and telling us it have an enormous overclockability headroom ? So, what can i do now to be able to run everything fine ? i'had been waiting for 2 monthes the release of this mobo because i didn't want to buy MSI Néo2..... can someone tell me i did the right thing ?

First load optimize defoult. After: Put Htt on 3x Raise Cpuvcore to 1.5 +0.1 to obtain 1.4 volts. Bye Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNs Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Heh this voltage system is really quite wierd to me still - Do we know if that is the true vCore value or what? I'm a little worried as i'm running 1.5 +0.2 to get 1.5v on this, and if the board isn't actually at 1.5 but rather much higher, then i'd get a little concerned. Since for vCore i've almost always got to rely on onboard sensors, the onboard voltage readings are all i've got ---dens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomati Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 You are not blind. It isn't available though I'd like to see it as one more option for us... thanks for the reply , I have recieved the advise to disable it for increase my ram stability , I can memtest it @ 301mhz 2.5/4/3/7/2t with 2.7v but I can't pass over 257mhz 2.5/3/3/5/1t with 2.6v (need to try more vddr with 1t), do you think a new bios will help ?
