Well apparently DFI felt they were a bit of a pain to manipulate as well, because they included a standard chip puller in the box. That would be great, if it actually helped. We tried using the chip puller, and it did more to mangle the jumper blocks than to actually remove them.

The board also comes with bright yellow rounded IDE and floppy cables, which have become common in enthusiast-targeted motherboards. The BIOS is chock full of cool stuff. Overclocking options are plentiful. You can fine-tune the CPU bus frequency and multiplier, hypertransport speed, and voltages for CPU, chipset, RAM, and more. The RAM tuning options are extensive, and give you control over so many facets of RAM latency and speed that you might have to dig around online just to figure out what all these settings are for.

What’s more, the motherboard has a special group of jumpers in the upper-front corner that, when set, can allow RAM voltage settings all the way up to 4 volts. The spec starts at 2.85V and the board lets you push that to 3.1V without setting this jumper.

RAM maker has produced special RAM in partnership with DFI that is made to support this extreme voltage and speeds up to 625MHz. If you’re hardcore about overclocking your system and you’ve got money to burn on extremely high-speed RAM, this is your board. Overclocking options aren’t the only way the BIOS of the nF4 Ultra-D distinguishes itself. There’s an option to save BIOS settings to two separate backup banks, and recall them at bootup with the press of a key. This is extremely helpful for those that push system limits, but may occasionally run software that doesn’t like the overclocked state. There’s even a “run BIOS function, that runs the RAM diagnostic software upon boot without need of any sort of boot disk at all.

DFI doesn’t include much in the way of software, beyond drivers. The company includes nVidia’s nTune software on the disc, which does a perfectly good job of adjusting clock and voltage settings, but the BIOS allows for a lot more fine-tuning. We’re only disappointed that it hasn’t moved on to a Windows-based BIOS flash utility and web-based update software. This has become de rigueur for many motherboard vendors, and for DFI to still require DOS boot disks for BIOS updates is like an unpleasant blast from the path. You know, like if Britney Spears made a comeback. Continued. 3 of 6.
