Madshrimps Forum Madness - Re-Test the greatest nF4-DFI LanParty SLI-D Spring

Since last time I post ULTRA-D in February, the click rate is too high, make me upload the photos several times.
There are still many PMs asking me to patch up the DFI testing photos.
This time I re-test the board again, but changed to SLI-D.
However, the features are similar.

Look at the packing first

Accessories 1, more than ULTRA-D is the SLI bridge

Accessories 2, cables and Karajan audio module

MB upper side. The right hand side JUMP17 is for RAM using 3.3~4V. Remind you again, when you use this function, please be aware of the cooling around JUMP17

Below is the testing configuration, some use the same as last time and some is new.

Congiguraion
0448SPAW 3000+.FX57
nF4-DFI LanPrtyUT SLI-D
GSkill 1GBFF.1GBGH
Leadtek 6600GTX2.6200
CWT550W.TOPOWER520W

Check out the new in BIOS which changed many times

CPU Part, mostly the same
CPU/DRAM voltage range is huge
http://shihwolf.mdorm.ntnu.edu.tw/wi...st/SLID/b2.JPG

Add any new items
Like DRAM add 0.03V
Can use Dual 6600GT Chipset VGA card
Built in MEMTEST 1.55 revision
http://shihwolf.mdorm.ntnu.edu.tw/wi...st/SLID/b3.JPG

DRAM Part
This is DFI¡¦s best part, also the most confused one.

Trrd.Twr.Twtr.Trwt setting in 2-2-1-2 is the tightest
Suggesting you to use 2-2-2-3
DRAM Drive Strength range in LEVEL1~8, every CPU and RAM combination will make the stability be different. I suggest to use LEVEL5 or LEVEL7 test in advance.

Latest 510 BIOS
As I know, the BIOS supports Dual Core CPU, FX57, and add some DRAM parameters
510-1

510-2

510-3

There is no doubt the DFI nF4 is the best MB for OC.
BIOS Voltage Range is so wide, and DRAM features are so wild¡K
It¡¦s far over other MBs in 2 or 3 times.
The BIOS update frequency is also awesome.
The layout and components are great as well.

In such a great MB, DRAM OC can co-operate with many memory chips or CPUs.
When you tweak your PC, parameter is not only CL2.5 4-4-8 can be.
You still need others to tie in to reach the limits.
