I was fixing up my mom's old computer and it had 2 GB of RAM on it, so I decided it would be a good time to up it to 4 GB because that's the max the motherboard supports in an attempt to get it ready for Vista. When I get the RAM and install it, the system only recognizes 3.75 GB of it. I know 32 bit OS's have.
I was fixing up my mom's old computer and it had 2 GB of RAM on it, so I decided it would be a good time to up it to 4 GB because that's the max the motherboard supports in an attempt to get it ready for Vista. When I get the RAM and install it, the system only recognizes 3.75 GB of it. I know 32 bit OS's have this problem, but this is 64 bit vista running on this machine now, and I have another rig I built for myself running 8 GB with no problem. Even when I boot into the BIOS it only sees 3.75 GB of the RAM.
I'm trying to find out if there's a BIOS tweak I need to do or if I have a bad DIMM. I ran CPU-z and it says all 4 DIMMs have 1024 MB. Best Answer: Let's go to Evga.com/Support and look at this mobo.
Here's the PDF Motherboard Manual download page, for the 133-K8-NF41 mobo: The ram you installed? PC2100, PC2700, or PC3200? Look at page 15 in the PDF Mobo Manual. If you're using PC3200 ram sticks,(DDR Sdram at 400MHz), there are strict Ram Timing's that must be adhered to. JEDEC has set the standards for RAM Timings for DDR Sdram at 400MHz, at 3-4-4-8T.
This is according to JEDEC standard JESD79. (Standard set by JEDEC for 200, 266, 333, and 400MHz DDR Sdram modules.) BIOS updates are for installing a better processor, better graphics, etc. Ram timing parameters,(Voltage, Timings), are changed in the BIOS Setup utility. You may have better luck than I, but I couldn't find a BIOS update.
On Evga.com/Support, they have Motherboard Memory Support, but it just lists Intel mobo's. Download Drivers and Utilities took me to a search page,(Mainboards-NF51/NF41/NF43 chipset-Windows Vista 64-Go), with this: Typing 133-K8-NF41-AX BIOS update, in the search bar above, on this page got me this: Edit: Try the EVGA Forum.

Much to the dismay of my mentors.I'm back.smiling. Bipolar and Midknyte have spent quiet a bit of time 'educating' me on the issues at hand.educated my uneducated. with a 'firm' understanding on memory types for PCIe video cards, to where I have a 'thorough' understanding between DDR1, DDR2, and GDDR3 and as to whether or not the variations effect compatibility issue with mobo's. With previous heat issues and finding a faulty chipset fan.I was lucky enough to find another replacement for the Nvidia chipset, and we got past that issue. I am still having 'some' issues with heat but not the extremes I was experiencing. See photo (chipset fan) BTW.special thanks to Midknyte for finding me the correct NF41 driver file for this board. I've never found a working driver for the 'audio controller' for the integrated 8 channel on this, even with a separate driver (WDMR192) supplied on eVga's site (even after installing in safe mode).

However I 'did' find an overall extended driver here.and it handles a vast amount of applications for AC'97 drivers. Might be good for a sticky driver quest since it applies to so many app's? Back on the heat issues.funny thing is, I have found conflicting hardware monitoring reports as far as CPU/MOBO heat temps go. When I boot into the BIOS screen hardware monitoring tab, I get higher temps reported than temps when in Windows.
Now, I realize it has the AMD 'cool n quiet' feature when running Windows, but I'm not educated enough to know if that would make a difference. I'm running CPU temps in POST and BIOS around 55.C-58.C, but in windows under HWmonitor (a stable and highly accurate utility I use on my other AMD 754's for temp monitoring) it shows temps around 40.C-48.C.HWMonitor shows near duplicate exact temps as compared to ASUS' PROBE on my other systems. (see pics below) I 'do' notice, when initializing a program such as an install etc.that the HWmonitor will peak for a second or two, and show high temps in the 50.C range, but jumps right back down to stable temps, and I'm trying to be accurate when I say 'a second or two'. Now I realize I may have bought a quirky board, and am not sure that flashing the BIOS will help, and although I found a newer BIOS update, it merely says it: Adds support for 7950GX2 Support for the AMD Athlon64 FX60 CPU (FX55/FX57/Dual Core CPUs were already supported) Option to enable or disble the start up screen (BTW.when are manufacturers going to add support for thumb drive BIOS flashing?) SO my first question on this board, do you think it’s worth the risk of a BIOS flash to try to set it back to wellness? My second question is on normal cooling issues. Do you think this cooler (below) is a good one for what I need? If I get this system trustworthy and stable, I will go to a dual core someday, at the lower end of the price range (most likely a 3800+ X2) (see photos) Now I 'do' realize that installation and maintenance is a bit high tech and for the pro, but is this worth the $'s for cooling requirements?
I'm also installing two 120mm case fans, one on top and one on either the front or rear fan positions. I know its alot of trouble to go to, for a middle grade board, but I am stuck with my fixed-income limits.so I am limited to trying and make this board work. Give me your opinions, and please forgive my long-windedness again, and especially my slow-headedness once advised on the issues. Mafikizolo ft uhuru khona. Just don't divorce my rear due to my inability to comprehend sometimes.smiling again.
Thanks again.in advance. BIOS update notes rarely include all improvements.
Go ahead and flash. Clear CMOS afterward. Don't follow the temps too closely. Like life, if you look too closely at it, it's pretty ugly. Second-by-second temps mean nothing. The mean (average over time) is what is important. Athlon x64s run hotter than Core 2 Duos.
Don't use Intel as a benchmark. That said, the better the cooler, the happier the CPU will be. I prefer the big, fat Zalman coolers. The all-copper one is not a lot better than the aluminum composite. I use the cheaper one and love it. I like the looks of those Zalman coolers and they sure would be alot easier installing.
Thanks for the tips of temps.but I am sort of perplexed, and with another dose of your patience BiPolar, maybe you can help me understand. Information as far as I have received is that possible burnout on a 3800+ AMD 939 single core is around 70.C -71.C according to AMD and CPU-WORLD.com. Although some I have heard of running their system around those temps and a bit higher regularly all the time.

It hits the wrong nerve with me but I am use to the 754's with cool n quiet running 37.C-42.C all the time with no highpro cooling hardware. I installed and ran Call of Duty 2 and watched HWmontor during play, and she got up to 62.C-67.C for short bursts but ran on back down to 47.C 51.C most of the time.so thanks alot for the thought-tip on not worrying about short bursts of temps but mainly watching for long periods of extending highs. I have a mechanic freind and I am going to borrow his 'laser?' Thermal temp gun just for the heck of it. Shut off the case fans just for a srecond or two and get an accurate temp at the heatsink just for fun and educational purposes. So Bill, do you think for the money, I am better off with that Zalman, considering my temps while in COD2? I noticed though, on those Zalman's.

The: boasts a 120mm fan.that's huge! I measured across on my motherboard.you reckon it raises up enough to not be kissing the memory too close???
You've installed them before I am sure, so that's why I'm asking is all. Also if you would help educate me some more.give me your thoughts on heat tubing, copper core such as that Gemini II. I might be looking at it again someday and that price is awesome compared to other sites. But it sure looks like a hard install and downside?
You gonna have trouble getting the motherboard installed and changing memory. Thanks again.
