Looking for new nForce4 Ultra mobo?

DirtyHarry

yep as the title suggests im looking to replace my mobo, my mobo presently is in perfect condition but im looking to get more overclocking options out of it and i cant. I bought it when the first nForce4 Ultra boards came out and im only getting around 2.4 / 2.5 outa my chip. I know theres more in my chip so im looking for another board with the same chipset but with more options.

Iv the,

DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D

Abit AN8 Fatal1ty nForce4 Ultra (too expensive)

and errr thats it. Im stumped. Is there any more? iv probably missed some.

Well here it is again, a nForce4 Ultra mobo with very good overclocking options. Boards from asus, abit, msi (maybe, not sure of them tbh) etc.

Cheers

I had the DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D and I found this to be a great overclocker once the BIOS got flashed the HTT went over 300MHz.
I have the AN8 also at the minute and currently overclocking that and I am at HTT 260MHz at the minute.
My chip doesn't overclock to well tho, I only get 2.4 out of it.

what kind of cooling are you using?

Go with dfi..
So many bios options for tweaking the board/cpu/ram etc.
I only messed with oc'ing once, HTT 250 windows stable and got close to windows stable at HTT 280 no probs.
Also they have a great forum www.dfi-street.com

The dfi is getting some good reviews i must say but is there any others?

BabyEater

The AN8 I have is only 133 from Komplett which is bad. The DFI has more BIOS options tho. My Ulta -D did HTT320

Anyone know where I could procure a DFI LanParty NF4-SLI Ultra DR for a reasonable price?

DirtyHarry

@ BabyEater, where did u pick up your dfi board? Iv looked around and the uk is the best option but sterling is a stinker. Id be paying around 195- 200 nearly for the board shipped. i could buy the website for that. :rolleyes:

where can i pick one up cheaper? No american sites ship to ireland either.

unless someone knows of one?

DirtyHarry

right well im picking up a DFI LANparty UT nF4 Ultra-D nForce4 for 160 euro shipped from germany! woohoo!!

praise the lord for ebay! the seller is german 14000+ feedbacks and 99.9% of them were positive! could it get any sweeter?

going to look for your board SyxPak!

Cheers

DirtyHarry

@ SyxPak

ebay again, shipped to your door, 193 euro. Im not sure if thats the cheapest you have heard or the highest. but iv not seen any lower.

I bought my DFI Ultra D from overclock.co.uk for 105 pound Sterling so thats about 155 euro.
You can also try here as they are a DFI supplier to Ireland.

DirtyHarry

that pchealth website is the worst site to navigate...its the pits. Iv gone through the menu and cant find motherboards. WTF???? cant even find DFI in there list of manufacters?

linky?

po0k

I'll email them for a quote later this week.
Their price on 3500 Winnies (~230) seems to be ok :)

When are Venice cores expected in stores?

BabyEater

DirtyHarry: You will have to email or ring they as they have the worst site ever.
SyxPak: Elare are expecting Venice on the 18th so I would expect it everywhere in a couple of weeks. I heard that AMD are releasing a San Diego at 3500+ so that could be a good chip to go for if it has the 1Meg of cache.

BabyEater

The price of 230 for a 3500 I don't think includes VAT so it ends up at about 278 which isn't too bad.

po0k

Same, if not dearer than Komplett so.

That German eBay store doesn't seem to list the DFI SLI-DR board.
