    Max memory timings on Gigabyte SLI board?

    mainly depends on the chips on your Ram-modules. Unless you have some gay Reseller-Ram-Module with fancy unremovable "Heatsink" you can easily read the chips Brand and type. Good Ram-Producers like Samsung have all the Data/Timing/Parameters for all theyr chips on theyr Website. example...

    nforce4 Ultra chipset (cooler) sucks ? (MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum)

    can be you got a bit disoriented with posting ? The Chipset fan is my problem..its 3 times as noisy as my Gigabyte 6600GT (4.0 Sone !) A Noise like a Waking clock btw.. less loud (hole case is vibrating from it)..but constantly on..sometimes changing Frequency for 30 sec and then back. This...

    nforce4 Ultra chipset (cooler) sucks ? (MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum)

    manipulating the fan is no option for me as warrancy is gone then. ..aswell funny is that then Northbridge temperature isnt high ..33 C° atm.(Bios) cpu 32 C°(Bios) MSI`s own "OC-tool" "CoreCenter" reports the actual fanspeed of my Zalman 7700b right in Windows (1318 rpm atm.) Athlon +3000...

    3500+ winnie and Neo2 Platinum. What memory?

    Just watchout with "resellers" like Crucial, Mushkin etc. etc. There is no real guarantee you get a module with Samsung TCCD ic`s unless you buy Samsung original. "resellers" dont hide the ic`s behind unremovable "heatsinks" for nothing.

    THE Memory FAQ

    Exactly..TCCD are Samsung Chips ! Dont buy RAM modules from companies that dont produce chips themselves !!! Corsair, Geil, Kingston, Mushkin OCZ etc. buy parts from Samsung, Micron, Mosel Vitelic, Infineon, and others. A waste of money ! It has become a habbit of some companies like...

    major prob with k8n neo 2 mb

    Dont buy RAM modules from companies that dont produce chips themselves ! Corsair, Geil, Kingston, etc. buy parts from Infineon, Samsung, Micron, Mosel Vitelic, and others. It has become a habbit of some companies like Corsair, Geil, etc. to handselect (as they call it) or in other words...

    ETA on DFI NF4 boards?

    SLI SLI SLI...no ultra anywhere..makes you wonder.. Seeing the mass of posts about trouble with nforce4 SLI, one might think the nforce4 isnt actualy "ready for market" realy. I bet its going to take some additional time (2-3 Month) to make nforce4-MoBo`s that have no "bug" issues anymore...

    GIGABYTE "GA-K8NF-9" NVIDIA nForce4 4X

    It has a HyperTransfere of only 800 (x4) and uses nforce4 nonultra. Aswell the "normal" nforce4 dont have the Hardware Firewall ! If you want to OC, you shouldnt start with a "low-coast" version. If you check around a bit, you will find there are no "ultra" chipsets of nforce4...

    Nforce4 still Beta-chips ?

    Oh yes it does ! A chipset that has "Ultra" in Name should be "Ultra" not because its fan have to go 8000 tours but the chipset doesnt do more then its "nonultra" version wich only misses the HW firewall compared. A Bios that has OC-options should OC (especialy when its sold for such a high...

    Nforce4 still Beta-chips ?

    Hey all I read multiple posts here and got the impression that nforce4 Mobo`s are all still Beta-state, very early revisions or current nforce4 is just cheap shit-chips . Following list of Probs point to that: 1.) multiple Posts point at Problems with some Ram-modules that where...

    Watchout ! fresh Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 (nforce4) only HT 800

    Hi Guess im not the only one waiting for a nforce4 Mobo... Somehow it has a bad smell when shops/Companys sell early Revisions (so to say "Beta-state" Chips) like nforce4 chipset Revision 01 or 02 that lake some features or capabilities. This seems to be the case with Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9...
