Just like on the Crosshair 4. The sun shined, i was smiling, pressed the button and saw my 555 struggling with 4 core however it works perfectly in the 790X-ud3p. what bios are you running? have you tried a different bios? Vin

Vin Not in the Cr4 but with a 790XT-ud4p I saw a cpu that can't even post after unlock and after a while worked perfectly because flashing another bios. All the bioses were unlocker tpye but that cpu stuck with one of them. Unlocking sometimes needs some bonus rounds from You but it's worth anyway.

Some of them chips may take considerable voltage increase to obtain any stability. Some fly as if nothing was ever a problem. Off my head.... 1.65v was a good starting point at 4200-4400mhz on Phenom II and at 5ghz up near 1.7v for those going extreme

I got these corsair XMS DDR sticks finally and I just popped one in the board to make sure they worked and sure enough these have the LEDs on the top to show usage lol never owned a set with LEDs

Even my old Heka core could get 4200 with less than 1.65v's back then but now...... I'm not so sure but it's still a decent chip.

Unlocked it took usually .10v more.

I made some "bandwith" ram builds today. This platform is truly endless. my ultra D sits on the shelf cause I can not get it to save anything to the bios even default settings board freezes and you have to clear cmos if you dont enter bios and let it go it will say no drive (no drive installed) add a hdd and restart freezes and you have to reset bios I even bought a bios chip no go had bones send me one no go so it sits on shelf

I'm wondering if it coudn't be a PSU compatability problem, DFI's can be picky about what PSU is ran with it. I say that because my now dead and gone Tt 850W would run mine and it was able to clock my RAM to the moon it seemed, now that I'm having to run my Hercules 1600W with them my ability to OC RAM is limited. I don't believe it's a coincidence things changed once I was forced to start running the 1600 with it - Plenty of wattage but someting is different, I'm guessing in how the rails and such within are setup via the PSU's design.
You could try it one day with a few different PSUs and see if that doesn't affect things.

dfi of any model can be bitches with cpu, ram, gpu, psus, i know that, but once you get it up and right theyre just good fun, them mem straps are pretty much the hardest to get you head around shades, once you work those out, the rest pretty much just falls into place, youll get it goin, and youll say why havent i got 1 of these b4, theyre tuff, durable, and a great board, pity they only make server boards now, was a big loss to the public when dfi stopped making normal boards, probably the best overall overclocking boards in the world, especially the older platforms

theyre tuff, durable, and a great board, I have burnt the mosfets off 2 Ultra D's. They are a great board the best overclocking board of any 939 board but I dont know about the Tuff and Durable part, also haven't you got a dead one there as well.

For that set up I probably would say some Mushkin Redline. The alternative would be crucial ballistix weather regular or tracer. Those are the only two that I've known to work with a d f i I'm pretty sure some from Geil or team group even a data I don't know if elixir was around yet though

I really don't have any RAM sets they don't seem to like that I can recall..... Except maybe the 2GB set of OCZ's I've got. And even then I think it will run them. Overall I've been happy running my OCZ's in my DFI's.

Someone had that picture of Curly Joe elsewhere. classic platforms and here is the only place ive had curly from the 3 stooges as my avatar, other forums i was with was for a short time only, thats what i got when i joined up and i asked scotty if i could have it when i joined CP and its stuck, suits me down to the ground coz im an idiot as well
