It's trash....tried it on another system and all I got was the bad memory beep out of each and both sticks. I only was able to run memtest on them on the SLI-DR because it's built into the BIOS.

I'll test further later because I'd really like to get them to work, but if I can't crank them up then what's the point? I'll get a refund I think.....and I'm sure they are lifetime guaranteed, but they wouldn't have any worthwhile replacements.

Maybe at least 2 of the 4 x 256MB Geil pc4000 I got for $1.25 will be good.

EDIT: not sure Mr.Scott......it's possible that they will work after freezing.

Yes, you can try that to see how it goes.

Good luck and at least you know someone out there will give 'em a good home if you decide to be rid of them for whatever reason - I know I could use them for something (Maybe).

I sure picked a cold night to set up on the back porch, but should have some pretty good results unless the chips are duds. I have a sweet spot outside next to fireplace, but it's snowing a little. Maybe it'll be clear tomorrow.

I think I'm going to get a waterblock for my chipset so I can chill it down to ambient like my GPU......I guess I could insulate that area also and freeze the chipset, I just need a way to chill the high voltage memory I bought that doesn't work. The plan is ever changing.

I tried to power the DFI Nf4 Sli I gt from Cecil today and no luck all I get is lit 4 red leds and fans at full speed no post.

You know what that is?

Sorry for high jacking your thread buddy.

I personally don't know, haven't encountered that problem yet. Have you looked in the manual at the post led codes. I'll look into a little later today.

Press down on the BIOS chip.

This picture belongs in this thread also. Going to be many more pictures in the near future. I have 4 more boards coming in shipments from all over the country. I'm going to keep the Expert, the SLI-DR, and 1 Ultra-D.....plus my dead one for parts. I'll have 2 Ultra-Ds for sale if they both work.

That's the 4 LED's of death. You can try a new bios chip, sometimes it works, most of the time it means the board is shot.
I forgot, make sure the ram is in the orange slots.
