If thers still warranty..RMA it again ...write a letter to them ! what else ?
And if they dont fix it next time demand a new one.Its no favior..its included in the prize
when you buy it...you payed for it
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.

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...
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...
Bought me an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum, NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra.
Decent Board sofar...but weak OC (only till ~240 HTT unstable above it doesnt even
boot )..nice features on Board but BAD OC (FOR AN CHIP CALLED "Ultra").
My Ram btw. ATP "AG64L64T8SQC4S" lowcut ( Samsung K4H560828E-TCCC)
(NOT...
Best/savest clean with compressed air..i belive professional electronic people do it with
buyable compressed air in tins..(100% dry..not like directly from compressors).
dont use water or alcohol and alike..(Results: shortcut or funny looking plastic parts)
Condenser like to blowup on...

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.
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...

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...
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...
oops ...my error, rpm ofcourse..im a German ..sorry..but hey i can learn :D
Right..i didnt buy one yet ! (i learned :p)
And seeing the SLI-Gamesupport issue now, i wont buy any SLI.
Btw. where are the Nforce4 ultra`s ??? ( !!! )
To the hardware:
I doubt its only here, but German...
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...
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...
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...
