    eVGA 131-K8-NF44-AX NF4 SLi mATX Mobo Thread

    I own this mobo, and I have RMAd it twice, thus I have tried 3 unique copies of this board. None of them have actually altered the cpu voltage when I change it in the BIOS. every app, including the bios, reports ~1.35v no matter what I set the voltage to (even setting it lower). I am using a...

    cannot alter VCORE on evga...

    Tried my Blue Orb II CPU HSF. Didn't really improve temperatures, and again CPU-0 dies instantly in Prime95 at FSB of 220mhz. I haven't had any advice from anyone (though I would love some) but I think this means the CPU is defective and I should RMA it. What should I say though? I mean...

    Thx for the comment Borgschulze, you may very well be correct. At this point its been established that this mobo cannot increase the voltage anymore, but the X2s are low voltage CPUs. Its not exactly a great mobo for OCing. I'm determined to succeed though :)

    Hey Factor, thx for your concern. Unfortunately this is my first new age computer (PCI-E, S939) so I have no other motherboards. I was aware of the risk of getting this "difficult" board, I had read that entire 14 or so page-long thread concerning this motherboard, but several ppl...

    Thx for the input you guys! First off, at stock settings it never fails Prime95, ran it for like 24hrs. Guess what, I solved the problem of not being able to POST when setting the Vcore to anything simply by changing the cpu multiplier from Default to 11X. When set to 11X I can increase...

    thx for the advice, Uknown One. Hopefully that will work, although I'll be really pissed if i have to RMA this sucker! Oh and that reminds me! According to CPU-Z the Vcore is swimming all over the place between 1.324 and 1.376. As I understand it the default Vcore settings is supposed to be...

    cannot alter VCORE on evga...

    well first off I can't just grab another CPU like that as i live in canada and im guessing the nearest CompUSA is kinda far... in any case for now what i'll do is put everything back to stock and run Prime 95 for like 8 hrs on both cores. I ran it nearly 2 hours on stock and didnt run into...

    cannot alter VCORE on evga...

    ya, i've got a great PSU, Enermax Liberty 500w. So you really think this is something wrong with my mobo? It would be nice if someone out there with this exact mobo could tell me whether they have experienced or not experienced this problem of setting the Vcore. That way I can decide if I...

    Ok guys, this issue might need some fairly expert help! I do not come empty handed though, since my last thread "Worth the tradeoff?" I finally understood the last thing I needed to understand about OCing and I have read OCing guides, etc, etc. In fact I have read threads regarding the OCing of...

    Worth the trade off?

    thx a TON you guys! that makes perfect sense, i understand that now. what might the command rate (of 1T vs 2T) have to play in OCing? (from other threads i gather that i will have to set it to 2T.. so how much of a performance loss am i looking at for ram based on that?) And... what about...

    Worth the trade off?

    Ok, i've read quite abit about OCing, so i dont need any basics, i just want to understand one thing. First my system: 4400+ on evga SLI mATX mobo (Nvidia NFORCE4) with OCZ platinum DDR400. In order to OC this CPU a great deal higher than its stock speed, i must reduce the HyperTransport...

    X-QPack upgrade to tool-less?

    Hey everyone! Is it possible to change the way the setup is on the QPack for the PCI cards to be attached on the outside instead of the inside so that thumbscrews could be used? (as i dont think there is room underneith the PSU) Or is there aftermarket mods for cases that allow you to make...

    Shuttle SN26P Advice Wanted

    Hey guys, Im back! Thx for all the advice. After doing alot of research I am seriously thinking of changing my mind on the SN26P and getting an mATX case with that evga SLI mATX mobo. Dworley (and others) what do you think? Dworley I know you were heavily involved in the discussions on...

    Shuttle SN26P Advice Wanted

    Outrigger, I am interested. However, which ICE hsf you talkin of? the one for the CPU? (or the mysterious GPU one?) Are there SLI mATX mobos available for that sg01? Thats pretty awesome that the 7950GX2 works on this bad boy, but I'd rather buy one 7900GT now, and get a second a year or...

    Shuttle SN26P Advice Wanted

    Thank you! I am rather surprised that those heat pipes were not put into production! But that is certainly awesome that two 7900GTs work fine in SLI w/o them!...what are their load temps? thx
