I just recieved my 3800+ lastnight, running it at 260X10 with no problems. I haven't experienced any problem in games but I havent had time to run a game for 2 hours either. Going to a LAN party this weekend so I'll be able to test it better there. As a side note, when I installed the dual core it showed as a single at first, once I installed the drivers for the X2 and rebooted it showed the dual cores correctly. With an Intel system I use at work I had to change the hal in the boot.ini to make it recognize dual CPU's so I was pretty happy I didn't have to mess with that.

I'm using a UFO case from Mountain Mods. Check it Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3 Picture 4 Picture 5 Picture 6 Picture 7 Picture 8 Picture 9 Picture 10 The best part about this case is everything is removable with thumbscrews. I just had to clean it recently and it took me roughly 5 minutes to remove the motherboard while still in the tray, the hard drive cage, and the CD Rom cage. Even with all the wiring. I custom did the wiring so that I could disconnect everything though and it works wonderfully. All the fans are actually very quiet and my CPU idles at 80F and max is 104F. FYI, the cables were all advertised as UV RED on SVC. Don't blame me for them being orange, pink and sorta red!

OK, so now tell me this since I am very confused now. WHICH SLOT IS 16X by default?! I thought it was the bottom one, but it appears that I am mistaken, if so then I don't need to change anything as I am already running at 16X. Thanks

I have a water block on my X850XT and if I put it in the lower slot on my board it kills both my PCI slots as far as space. I want my audigy 2 card installed so I have to run the video in the upper slot which is normally running at 2X. What I would like to do is run the card in the upper slot but with 8X. I've tried this by setting the jumpers so both slots get 8X PCIe but it won't post when I do that. It only posts if its in the factor 2X position. Do I have to set the bios to 8up8down before I can switch the jumpers? As a side note, 2X appears to be fast enough to play BF2 at 16X12 with everything maxed, but I would feel better if it was using 8 PCIe channels instead of 2. Thanks

It just kinda stinks that they recommend them for one thing but end up being the ones they don't recommend using. I like to use this website as a go by and when everyone says use these or these and I do and they don't work like the ones they say don't use. Well I think you see my point!

OK, so the bios I have should work. Its funny you mention the different variations. I tried 1 and 3 first and they were both terrible for me, then I tried the 2 and it is by far the best bios I've used. The odd thing is, the memory I am using is TCCD! I can't complain, it works.

I plan on purchasing an X2 possibly as early as tomorrow but no later then next week. I have the NF4 SLI-DR and I noticed there is only a beta bios. I have a beta bios from the same date which at the time was #2 of 3 different variations. I can't seem to find any of those variations now though, so which variation is the one on the DFI website, and will the one I have now support dual cores? Also, when is the official bios for X2 support going to be completed? Thanks guys

So I tried this new program you are raving about, and I'm having a bit of an issue. I ran this at all stock settings, and it craps in less then 3 minutes, this is after trying it at multiple overclocked settings. So here I am, thinking my system is stable after running countless programs, games, rendering software, blah blah. Then I find out it dies in less then 3 minutes and will continue to do so even down to stock settings. So now I'm torn, what the heck do I do to make this beotch stable?! On the bright side, it dies at stock at roughly the same amount of time that it dies at overclocked, so if I use my stock stability as a baseline, I'm still 100% as stable as I'm gonna get with my current settings :nod: Anyone think they can help me?

I have been reading these forums and too have been having issues. I thought my system was 100% stable, 280X10 or 300X9 using a 3700+ SD Core. Runs everything I throw at it no problem. I saw on here people are using OCCT to test their systems now so I thought I would try it. Turns out it crashes in a few minutes, so I drop my speeds, 260X9, tried again, same thing. Tried again at 220X9, same, dies in a few minutes. Finally I go into the bios and set everything to AUTO or stock settings and try again. Sure enough, dies in a few minutes. Basically, it tells me that no matter what I do this thing isn't going to be OCCT stable, which is BS me thinks. Check my sig, and tell me what you think may be the problem, or recommend me some settings that might be stable. I am using the -1 beta bios, and my ram is TCCD. I ran OCCT at work on my dual xeon dell for grins and it passed with flying colors...GRR.
