I decided to update my board to the F7b BIOS. I was about to find the Core Control features in there. I have a PII 940 attached to my board....I as a little disappointed by the fact that i could only control Cores 2 & 3...1 & 4 Core failures would mean that the whole processor would be dead...

If I remember correctly, when i had adjusted the Number of Row or Column Addresses while i was performing the same type of Edit, i found that my Ram had Dropped down to 1GB per Stick. Mine are 14 Row 10 Column 2GB sticks. If you have changed either one of these it could be a major cause of the...

I did the same thing to my RAM once...there is one setting that changed it from 1gb to 2GB....i would have to reinstall SPDTool to remember...give me a bit before you Reflash your memory.

I think they must be watching this thread too...but what is even funnier...when i looked at the Date of release...it was 12/14/09...(I just refreshed the page in my browser which i still had open) Shame on them for putting the wrong date on the website....Actual release...2/4/09. Says it...

Nothin Much as far as the actual components. The only different as far as capability is the UD4H is supposed to be able to handle DDR2 1200. Other than that there is no compatibility difference. F7a (or an updated version) will probably be released for the DS4h in a little while. It seems...

I do not have the Rig with the 720BE in my house. It is my brother-in-law's computer, and i locked him out of the BIOS so he doesn't go in there messing with it. He lives a few hours drive from me... If you having stability issues with those cores unlocked at a stock speed, it seems you may...

Sounds to me like your 4th core is just bad. That processor is still pretty powerful even with only 3 cores...just overclock the fool out of it.

You should first work to unlock the 4th core, then worry about trying to overclock. The reason it is marketed as a triple core is because that 4th core is not as stable as the other 3 and will not overclock as well as the others. There is no guarantee that you will be able to unlock the 4th...

I too have the same situation that you do...with the exception of the noise. I have a Xigmatek HDT-S1283 on my Phenom II 940. It is a very quiet cooler even at max RPM, but still covers the First RAM Slot completely and the 2nd Slot partially. It is not a big issue to me as i have standard...

I'll see if i can recreate the power on with PSU issue on my own motherboard, Have you tried a different PSU on the board? Dell's Desktops were bad about that same thing, especially the dimension 2000-4000 series, and i have had different power supplies fix the issue in the past. I haven't had...

The UD4H Has a Multiplier for the HT Link? Or is that something new with the F6 BIOS? My DS4H has always had a Frequency which never really made much sense to me anyway. Anywho... I am glad to hear that you were able to get a stable 3.3Ghz OC. Not bad coming from 2.6ghz.

As far as the NB Voltage, I am not 100% sure exactly which one actually controls the NB Voltage, so i bumped both up by .5V. The Southbridge is mainly for your Onboard graphics, but since you are playing with overclocking i wouldn't think that you would be using the onboard graphics. An Edit...

Have you tried dropping the Multipliers down on the NB? When you are overclocking with the HT Link you are also overclocking the NB and the RAM too. Chances are if your board is getting too hot it is going to be the NB to blame. I had my DS4H at 267 on the HT Link, and by dropping the NB...

Did some research and found that your Laptop's memory is not as uncommon as you may think. It is standard 144Pin PC100 SODIMM @ 128MB. This is actually pretty easy to get for cheap on ebay. Found a Lot of 4 for $10 on ebay. If i am correct then your RAM looks a lot like the one in this...

I do not believe it is possible to block specific chips on the RAM...however I do know that you can control how many chips are in use on the stick. What are the specs of the RAM? Pin, speed, etc... What are the Max Memory specs for the motherboard in which it is installed on...
