O.K. I finally OC'ed my DFI LanParty nF4 Ultra D to 2.60GHz. My stock CPU speed is 2.00GHz.
But there is a catch, I had to reduce the DDR400 to DDR266 due to the fact that my VDIM DDR Voltage control is locked @ 2.6v. For me to hit at least DDR433 or higher, I need at least 2.7v to 2.8v.
So anybody having OC'ing issues with the DFI Ultra D, it's your RAM & DDR Voltage.
I need a bios update to hopfully resolve this problem. :guh:

Sounds pointless to me bro. Doubt even overclocking the GPU it will ever score more then 5500 in 3dmark05. 1 6800 U in AGP gets more than that.
I have the same thing with the 3200 having a max clock of 2.65 Ghz.
I think that you will find that the error that the AQ3 is posting is becuase the system isnt stable, This i believe is the RAM clock setting that have a real big impact on the clock stability.
I suggest that you run prime95 for about ten minutes - you will find that you get an issue before the first 2 minutes of running the tests.
Bear inmind that the FX55 only clocks stable on some system @ 2.65 so its good going but also that it will run @ 2.76 with out the need to make some vast changes then jumping to 1.7 /75 to get a good clock
One clock and a bit extra voltage may give you what you want

I guess I need to run some trial & error to see how far I can take my Athlon 64 3200+ :guh:
I saw on some benchmark that the DFI LanParty Ultra-D SLI was the best OC'er out of the SLI motherboards. But I also heard it was very unstable. I'd rather take a MSI, ABIT, or EPOX.

Unstable due to the Ram tweakings you need to do in order toget it right.
This is what I am working on right now & for a wile now is the DDR Ram.
