But the damn thing won't boot up. I didn't do anything but put the new chip in and reset the CMOS. I don't what the fvck is wrong.

Did you try updating your BIOS?

I have the most recent BIOS for the DFI, 6/15 I think.

I'm not sure exactly which DFI board you have, but maybe look again at http://www.dfi.com.tw/Support/Download/...CATEGORY_TYPE=MB&INDEX_TYPE=MB&SITE=NA

6/23 LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D
7/11 LANPARTY UT nF3 ULTRA-D

Hey guys I've noticed that most of the people with these very high overclocks all have DFI boards. I am just wondering if I should waste my time ordering one of these because I have an MSI K8N Neo2 Plat and it obviously, doesn't have as high of voltages for the RAM. So I just wanna make sure I would still be able to hit 2.7Ghz with the 2.85v limit I have for my memory. Any ideas?

That board maxs at around 250 fsb, so thats 2.25ghz. :frown:

lol the board definately does not max @ 250FSB
My overclock right now on my Winchester is 313Mhz x 8 = 2504Mhz

I bought one with MSI NEO PLATINUM NFORCE4 SLI Motherboard, i will post my result soon. I think MSI will be the best choice to overclock this baby upto 3GHZ.

Why do you think the MSI will be the best choice to hit 3Ghz... Obviously DFI boards have the most options for overclocking, and have the highest voltages.

:thumbsup:

Just look at the Futuremark ORB for the highest scores (i.e highest overclocks) and ~90% are DFI boards.

[ToyYoda]

[DanDaMan315]

Hmm I have isolated my problem to be the video card. I don't what the hell went wrong, I didn't even touch it when changing CPUs.

 

[ToyYoda]

I had a video card problem too. Now I am flashing the board to the latest bios, and trying again.

No one is posting the price on these. I just bought a Venice 3000+ OEM(I had a couple HSFs already) at eWise for $115. I bought for the price but would have waited if
1. I knew an E6 was pending release
2. I knew it would be competetively priced to the "DH-E3" I received.

ok...my motherboard is worthless....Im getting a new one. Everytime I mention the word overclock, it freezes.

I think I spoke to soon. This other bios has seemd to fix the glix that I had. Currently at 2.4ghz, stock voltage.

Motherboard is GA-K8NS Ultra

edit - im fairly sure the motherboard cant go any higher, ill be happy with 2.4ghz

Because you Ultra D does not support SLI, and here is a comparison in which MSI SLI & DFI SLI tie in the comparison.

You can mod the Ultra D to be SLI comptabible
