Dfi Lanparty Nf4 Ultra-d Driver For Mac
DFI LANParty nF4 SLI-DR: Overclocking and Stress Testing Overclocking Front Side Bus Overclocking Testbed DFI LANParty nF4 SLI-DR Processor: Athlon 64 4000+ (2.4GHz, 1MB Cache) CPU Voltage: 1.55V (default 1.50V) Cooling: Thermaltake Silent Boost K8 Heatsink/Fan Power Supply: OCZ Power Stream 520W Memory: OCZ PC3200 EL Platinum Rev. 2 (Samsung TCCD Memory Chips) Hard Drive: Seagate 120GB 7200RPM SATA 8MB Cache Maximum OC: (Standard Ratio) 238x12 (Auto HT, 2-3-2-7, 1T, 2.9V) 2856MHz (+19%) Maximum FSB: (Lower Ratio) 318x9 (2862MHz) (Auto HT, 2.5-4-3-7, 2.9V) (1:1 Memory, 1T, 2 DIMMs in DC mode) (+59% Bus Overclock) All benchmarks for the DFI LANParty UT nF4 Ultra-D were rerun with the updated drivers and test resolutions used in this roundup.
Overclocking performance was essentially the same as we saw in the SLI roundup. The DFI was 2nd among the boards in Maximum OC at stock ratios, reaching 238x12. In Maximum FSB at lower multipliers, the DFI was #1 in the roundup, reaching 318x9.

Monday, July 11, 2005 - #59 and #60 - One of the first articles I did a couple of years ago about Athlon 64 was how to overclock by manipulating HTT frequencies. I ALWAYS test manual HTT dividers I know should work for certain 1:1 memory clocks as well as Auto HTT if it is an available option. #58 - I was very CLEAR in the review that I tested with the BIOS that would allow the X2 A64 to work. We did check each board with an X2. That is the ONLY reason we tested and used very recent Beta BIOS'. Also there are 2 other very recent Chaintech reviews at other websites who had test results almost equal to what I found on the Chaintech, so there are at least 2 other Chaintechs loose with less than stirring overclocking.

In the end, as I stated in the review, the Chaintech is a decent board, but at about the same price as the Epox, with poorer overclocking results, it was hard to give it an Editor's Choice this time around. The results found in this roundup should remove anyone's concern that we get cherry boards from manufacturers. I am a good overclocker, and very experienced in air overclocking and memory overclocking. What I got from these boards on air is all they could do with the TCCD memory that is all but standard test memory for motherboards these days.
The capabilities of the memory we used is also well known and I tweaked for TCCD if settings were available if the board was not doing well at stock memory settings and our normal test timings. I am really pleased some of you experienced better performance than I did with the Chaintech and Abit boards, but I can only report what I actually found in my tests.
I don't think you come to AnandTech for a survey of what other websites or Forums found, because I find overclockers are notorious at exagerrating what they can reach with overclocks. We try to provide a consisten test environment for overclocking that will give repeatable overclocking results. Results, of course, always vary board to board, but having said that, OC results are usually pretty consistent on better boards from sample to sample.
