DFI network interface problems?

Vertigo · 16 Jul 2006 at 22:20

Running an Opty 165 at 2.8Ghz (311x9) on a DFI N4 SLI-D and every test I throw at it indicates that it's stable with no problems.

But...

Tonight I've noticed that quite a few web pages are coming in corrupted, including this forum. A simple refresh usually clears it.

Secondly, trying to VNC to my media box downstairs, which used to work fine, now lasts a second or two before the screen corrupts and the connection dies.

Looks like some sort of networking problem. Just tried dropping the speed to 280x9 and still getting the VNC issues.

Anyone seen anything like this? Almost as if the network interface on he mobo is giving out but this shouldn't be affected by any overclocking.

For what its worth dont use the Nvidia one try and use the marvel one.

Even on the DFI street official forums they have 100s of posts saying how crap they are. Mine worked off and on for a week then just flaked out completely.

Ok cheers, have switched over to the Marvel interface and it seems better so far. Fingers crossed

Having same trouble with an NF4 SLI-DR Expert.

Both connections seem "dodgy" a fair few failed downloads and lots of websites corrupting.

Will try something later today and if I see an improvement I'll let you know.

When switching to the Marvel don't forget to install the drivers from the cd. The Marvel is a much better option.
