Sadly my computer locked up at 2.57 yesterday while playing fallout

, so I'm running 2.55ghz and 3-3-2-7 and it's just fine.

Up your Vcore a notch, then see what it does.

Pez, sorry to hear that. Did all of the stability testing pass at 2.57Ghz? I had these same issues with Company of Heroes and my memory sub-timings.

Good luck

I was inspired by froggy's cable management so I decided to tidy up here as well. At least as much as I could, I don't really have that much space in my chassis.

Here is a relatively old picture, but it's basically what the inside looked like earlier today.

And here is what I was able accomplish.

The front looks kinda stuffed with wires but it's not at all as bad as it looks as you can see from a different angle. I don't have any other pictures at the moment though.
I especially like what I was able to do to the S-ATA cable with a pencil. Looks a lot better!

Hrn...looks like my Xmas money is going for a PSU. I'll be using an Echo-STAR 680W loaner till then. IT's an OK PSU with ample amperages, but the brand is just...yeah. 40 bucks for 680 watts. I'm going to get a Corsair or Antec of similar wattage after Christmas, tho.

OK fellers Im gonna need some help here. I got the DFI lanparty nf4 ultra d/g in the mail today, got it all put together with my opty 165, 2x512 hyper x, 1 of my 6800's and the rest of my sig rig.
Plug it in, the ram and the standby LED's both light up. When I hit the power button all the fans spin up and it starts to go through the debug. The video doesnt come on, the debug gets to the CPU (3 LED's lit up) and the power button is flashing and thats where it stays. What am I doing wrong here? Do I have something hooked up wrong?
BTW, the vid card is in the lower slot due to the northbridge heatsink.
Any ideas?

BlackOmega: Thlnk3r will likely hook you up with the debug guide.

TestECull: I bought a Silverstone Olympia OP 750 W. It is a nice PSU; 60 A single 12-volt rail.

HothBase: I love the case. I gotta get around to rewiring mine during vacation. My Dad's power tools are handy here.

Crucial first step with a LANParty-series motherboard: Prior to your very first boot, clear the CMOS.

Crucial 2nd step: Attempt your first boot with only one DIMM of RAM installed in the orange DIMM slot furthest away from the CPU socket.

Skipping either or both of these steps will result in a POST failure almost 100% of the time.

Another thing to watch out for: Make sure all power connectors to the motherboard (even the floppy drive header) are connected. This is a specific characteristic of these DFIs.

Hope this helps.

AHHHH shazza razza razzin frazzer! Ok Ill pull 1 stick and connect the floppy header. 1 question, this board has has all of those jumpers like the SLI boards, which position do they have to be in, in order to use the lower slot as the primary slot?
Thanx Joe

Well I had run orthos for 2+ hours and it did fine, so I guess that's what happened :/.

BTW Hoth, looks much much better. The before looked like something was eating your GFX card.
