THE ATHLON 64’S on-die memory controller has largely taken the motherboard out of the system performance equation. When a motherboard does impact performance, that’s usually the core logic chipset talking. That chipset also happens to be responsible for most of the board’s features. So, with the processor and chipset dictating much of a motherboard’s performance and feature set, manufacturers have been forced to innovate in new areas to make their boards stand out in a sea of similar competitors.

Often, the best way to differentiate a motherboard is with the little things. They say it’s the little things that kill you, but in this case, the little things can save a motherboard from being bogged down in a quagmire of cookie-cutter mediocrity.

In recent years, DFI’s LANParty line has mastered many of the little things that can make a motherboard unique. With great bundles, loads of BIOS options, and other intelligent extras, the LANParty boards have quickly become favorites among enthusiasts. We’ve been eagerly anticipating the first Socket 939 LANParty boards, and one has finally arrived in the LANParty UT NF4 Ultra-D. Join me as we explore all the little things that make this board stand out.

The specs
As usual, we’ll kick things off with a look at the NF4 Ultra-D’s spec sheet. Since the board’s core logic determines most of its feature set, you might want to thumb through our nForce4 Ultra review for background on the chipset.

Before we go into too much detail on the LANParty UT NF4 Ultra-D, it should be noted that the board is one of a whopping five different LANParty NF4s. DFI also offers the LANParty NF4 SLI-DR, LANParty UT NF4 SLI-DR, LANParty UT NF4 SLI-D, and LANParty UT NF4 Ultra-DR. That’s quite a mouthful, but the product names are easy to decipher. As one might expect, SLI and Ultra refer to the nForce4 flavor used. The “R” at the end denotes whether the board features a Silicon Image Sil3114 RAID controller, and the UT, or lack thereof, determines the bundle. All five LANParty NF4 boards appear to share the same PCB and BIOS, though.

Although it’s based on NVIDIA’s nForce4 Ultra rather than nForce4 SLI derivative, the NF4 Ultra-D sports a pair of PCI Express x16 slots for graphics cards. The x16 slots are joined by single x1 and x4 slots, giving the board plenty of PCI Express options. All of that PCI-E comes at the expense of standard PCI slots, though. The NF4 Ultra-D only has two standard PCI slots, which is a little slim considering the lack of readily available PCI Express peripherals.

Two PCI slots would be easier to swallow if the NF4 Ultra-D’s on-board audio were a little more impressive. Sadly, the nForce4’s basic AC’97 audio implementation lacks hardware acceleration and support for higher sampling rates and resolutions. Such barebones audio capabilities are in stark contrast with the chipset’s storage and networking features, which include four ports of Serial ATA RAID with support for Native Command Queuing, Tagged Command Queuing, and 300MB/sec SATA-II transfer rates. The nForce4 also packs an integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller with hardware acceleration for both standard TCP/IP functions and NVIDIA’s Network Access Manager firewall software.

Apparently, it just wouldn’t do for the NF4 Ultra-D to have only one Gigabit Ethernet option. DFI also includes Marvell’s PCI 88E8001 GigE chip. Dual Gigabit Ethernet is certainly a nice feature to have, but it seems a little excessive. I can’t help but wonder if more users would be happier with a dual LAN config that paired the nForce4’s integrated Gigabit Ethernet with an 802.11g Wi-Fi chip.

Apart from its extra PCI Express x16 slot and second Gigabit Ethernet controller, the NF4 Ultra-D spec sheet is par for the course for an nForce4 Ultra board. Fortunately, the rest of the board is not.

 

The layout
The first clue that the NF4 Ultra-D is not another cookie cutter nForce4 is the board’s flashy appearance. If nothing else, the black board and brilliant yellow and orange ports and slots set the NF4 Ultra-D apart visually.

There’s more to the board than a daring color scheme, though. With DIMM slots located above the CPU socket (to the right in the picture), the NF4 Ultra-D’s layout also deviates from the norm. Moving the DIMM slots closer to the case’s rear exhaust fan should help with memory cooling, although moving the CPU socket down the board will make it more difficult for internal power supply fans to exhaust warm air from around the processor.

Fortunately, users won’t have to worry about power supply cables creating unnecessary clutter around the CPU socket or other on-board components. Both the NF4 Ultra-D’s primary and auxiliary power plugs are neatly tucked in a top (right in the picture) corner of the board. The board’s primary connector is a 24-pin plug, but it’ll work with 20-pin PSUs.

Getting rid of cable clutter around the CPU socket is always a good thing, but it’s especially important on the NF4 Ultra-D because the socket area is already so close to the board’s DIMM slots. There’s plenty of room around the CPU socket for standard Athlon 64 heat sinks, but gargantuan coolers like Zalman’s CNPS7700 may interfere with taller memory modules, especially those with winky-blinky lights.

Clearance is also tight around the NF4 Ultra-D’s chipset and PCI Express x16 slots, although this particular layout problem seems to plague most nForce4 motherboards. The chipset’s close proximity to the PCI-E x16 slots forces DFI to use a low-profile cooler to ensure clearance for longer graphics cards. Normally, we’re not big, er, fans of tiny active chipset coolers, but the NF4 Ultra-D’s solution is unique. The cooler uses a “magnetic levitation fan” that’s temperature-controlled and surprisingly quiet. Still, I’d prefer the silence and reliability of a taller passive chipset cooler.

You won’t find many nForce4 Ultra boards with dual PCI Express x16 slots, and it’s also interesting to note that the board has x4 and x1 slots. That extra flexibility should come in handy when PCI Express peripherals become more available.

A decadent array of storage ports populates the other side of the board. With support for four Serial ATA II drives, four “parallel” ATA drives, and multiple RAID 0, 1, and 0+1 arrays that span both SATA and PATA devices, the nForce4 Ultra’s storage capabilities are second to none in the Athlon 64 chipset world.

The NF4 Ultra-D’s port cluster doesn’t offer serial or parallel ports, but you will find six USB ports, Firewire, and a couple of Ethernet jacks. The port cluster also features digital S/PDIF audio input and output ports, and a gaping hole for the board’s “Karajan” audio riser.

In an attempt to isolate the NF4 Ultra-D’s integrated audio from interference, DFI puts the codec chip and analog audio ports on a riser card that plugs right into the board. The NF4 Ultra-D’s box art claims that the Karajan does 24-bit/96kHz audio, but the riser’s Realtek ALC850 codec actually only supports resolutions up to 16 bits and sampling rates up to 48kHz.

 

All the little things
The NF4 Ultra-D’s parade of extras begins with a handful of little things. Literally.

Individual heat sinks grace the board’s VRMs, which should keep things cool under load and when overclocking. DFI is also quick to point out that the board uses only Japanese-made capacitors.

On-board power and reset buttons are also a nice little touch. The buttons are great for testing on our open test benches, but everyday enthusiasts should also find them handy while troubleshooting.

DFI’s little touches extend into the bundle, which includes a handy set of jumper tweezers, plus Serial ATA and rounded IDE cables colored to match the board’s yellow ports. It would be nice if there were four Serial ATA cables included in the bundle to match the board’s four SATA ports, especially since the cables glow under UV lighting.

And what would glowing cables be without a board to match?

Duuuuuuude. Jerry Garcia would be proud.

You’ll need a UV light to get the NF4 Ultra-D and cables to glow, but it’s a neat effect for modders or anyone with a case window.

 

Dual Xpress Graphics
Although the NF4 Ultra-D’s UV light show suggests that those tweezers should be used as roach clips, they’re actually meant for the board’s jumper blocks.

By default, the jumpers are configured to route 16 PCI Express lanes to the first x16 slot, two lanes to the second x16 slot, and one lane to each of the x4 and x1 slots. The jumpers can be switched to route eight lanes to each of the x16 slots and four lanes to the x4, effectively disabling the x1 slot. Unfortunately, that’s the only way to get four lanes to the x4 slot—the board can’t be configured to route 16 lanes to the primary x16 and four lanes to the x4 at the same time.

Unless you really need four lanes for that x4 slot, the NF4 Ultra-D’s default jumper configuration works just fine. Two lanes of PCI Express might not seem like enough for a secondary graphics card, but since NVIDIA has essentially crippled SLI for nForce4 Ultra platforms, two lanes is plenty.

We should probably point out that AnandTech was able to modify an nForce4 Ultra chipset into an nForce4 SLI with little more than conductive paint. However, NVIDIA is taking active steps to prevent SLI from working properly with such a modification. DFI also doesn’t bundle an SLI connector with the LANParty UT NF4 Ultra-D, so you’ll have to get one on your own. At this point, it may be technically feasible to mod an NF4 Ultra-D to an SLI board, but if you really want SLI it’s probably better to spring for the real thing.

In lieu of compatibility with SLI, the NF4 Ultra-D supports what DFI calls Dual Xpress Graphics (DXG). DXG lets you use two PCI Express x16 graphics cards at the same time, but the cards won’t work together to accelerate 3D applications on a single screen. The latest BIOS is apparently compatible with dual-GPU graphics cards like Gigabyte’s 3D1, though.

Dual Xpress Graphics may not improve frame rates or give you bragging rights at the next LAN party, but it does have its benefits.


Parhelia be damned!

The second graphics card is great for those looking to extend the Windows desktop beyond two screens without resorting to PCI cards or an expensive Parhelia or Quadro. A couple of dual-DVI GeForce 6600 GTs will give you not only a healthy amount of pixel pushing power, but also quad DVI output in Windows.

In my testing, a pair of unmatched (different brands) GeForce 6600 GT graphics cards ran smoothly on the NF4 Ultra-D with little effort. Getting ATI and NVIDIA cards to cooperate was another story, though. Windows didn’t have a problem with a GeForce 6600 GT and Radeon X300 at first, but as soon as we installed ATI’s CATALYST 5.2 drivers, the OS became unusable. Booting to the Windows desktop wasn’t an issue, but using the mouse caused the OS to become unresponsive. Since the issues only occurred after installing ATI’s drivers, I suspect the problem is a driver conflict. If you’re planning on running a pair of graphics cards in the NF4 Ultra-D, it may be safer to avoid mixing players from the red and green teams.

 

BIOS and nTune support
In addition to packing the board and bundle full of little touches, DFI populates the NF4 Ultra-D’s BIOS with a number of useful extras.

The BIOS offers overclocking options galore, including HyperTransport link speeds up to 456MHz in 1MHz increments. Users also have control over the PCI Express clock, HyperTransport dividers, and the CPU multiplier. The BIOS even has a maximum Cool’n’Quiet multiplier that allows users to enjoy the benefits of Cool’n’Quiet while running overclocked processors with lowered multipliers.

DFI bolsters the NF4 Ultra-D’s overclocking potential with loads of voltage options, including CPU voltages that go up to 1.55V. That’s only 0.05V above stock, but the BIOS offers an additional CPU voltage kicker that will multiply values upward by between 104% and 136%. The board also supports DRAM voltages up to a whopping 4.0V, although you’ll need to flip an on-board jumper to gain access to DRAM voltages above 2.6V.

The gravy train continues as we move to the memory department, where the NF4 Ultra-D’s BIOS serves up every timing option imaginable.

DFI has even gone so far as to incorporate Memtest86 into the BIOS. The board can be configured to boot directly into Memtest86, allowing users to stress various BIOS configurations and memory timings without having to pull out a bootable floppy or CD. Sweet!

Once a user has nailed down a BIOS configuration he’s happy with, he can save it in one of four CMOS Reloaded slots. Users can manually load CMOS Reloaded presets from within the BIOS or select them at boot time by holding down a hotkey. If a BIOS configuration fails to boot, the NF4 Ultra-D will automatically revert back to the last CMOS Reloaded profile that worked.

An enthusiast board’s BIOS wouldn’t be complete without fan speed control, and the NF4 Ultra-D doesn’t disappoint. Users can set temperature thresholds for the board’s CPU, chipset, and system fans, and DFI even includes a temperature-triggered shutdown option to keep catastrophic meltdowns at bay.

All these blue screen BIOS options may be a little daunting for uninitiated users, but DFI also bundles NVIDIA’s nTune software with the board.

Users can tap nTune to monitor system variables in Windows, including temperatures, clock speeds, and voltages. The latest version of nTune doesn’t seem to correctly read CPU voltages on the NF4 Ultra-D, though.

For those who want more than just system monitoring, nTune also has an array of tweaking options. Users can manipulate HyperTransport link and PCI Express bus speeds, the HT link multiplier, and a number of memory timings. nTune seems to be missing CPU multiplier control, which is unfortunate. If anything, that’s the most valuable tweaking option that Athlon 64 owners have at their disposal.

Today we’ll be comparing the LANParty UT NF4 Ultra-D’s performance to that of Foxconn’s nForce4 Ultra-based NF4UK8AA. Since both boards use the same nForce4 Ultra chipset, expect their performance to be similar, if not identical. For a more in-depth look at how the nForce4 Ultra stacks up against other chipsets, see our nForce4 Ultra chipset review.

Thanks to OCZ for providing us with memory for our testing. If you’re looking to tweak out your system to the max and maybe overclock it a little, OCZ’s RAM is definitely worth considering.

Also, our test system was powered by OCZ PowerStream power supply units. The PowerStream was one of our Editor’s Choice winners in our latest PSU round-up.

We used the following versions of our test applications:

The test systems’ Windows desktop was set at 1280×1024 in 32-bit color at an 85Hz screen refresh rate. Vertical refresh sync (vsync) was disabled for all tests. Most of the 3D gaming tests used the Medium detail image quality settings, with the exception that the resolution was set to 640×480 in 32-bit color.

All the tests and methods we employed are publicly available and reproducible. If you have questions about our methods, hit our forums to talk with us about them.

 

Memory performance

Both boards share the same on-die Athlon 64 memory controller and DDR400 memory at 2-2-2-5 timings, so it’s no surprise that their memory bandwidth and latency scores are nearly identical.

 

WorldBench

Our tight race continues in WorldBench, where the LANParty board can’t distance itself from the Foxconn.

Gaming

The DFI board leads nearly all of our gaming tests, but never by more than the slimmest of margins.

 

Cinebench rendering

The NF4 Ultra-D continues to eke out wins in Cinebench, barely.

Sphinx speech recognition

Scores remain too close to call in Sphinx.

 

Audio performance

Despite the fact that both boards use the same nForce4 Ultra AC’97 audio controller, the LANParty manages lower CPU utilization than the Foxconn in RightMark’s 3D audio tests. Even so, the LANParty board’s CPU utilization with 3D audio is fairly high overall thanks to the nForce4’s lack of hardware-accelerated audio.

Audio quality
With RightMark’s audio quality tests, I used an M-Audio Revolution 7.1 for recording. Analog output ports were used on all systems. To keep things simple, I’ve translated RightMark’s word-based quality scale to numbers. Higher scores reflect better audio quality, and the scale tops out at 6, which corresponds to an “Excellent” rating in RightMark.

The NF4 Ultra-D’s Karajan audio riser appears to improve the board’s audio quality, at least when compared with the NF4UK8AA. RightMark Audio Analyzer shows an advantage for the DFI board in both the frequency response and noise level tests.

 

ATA performance
ATA performance was tested with a Maxtor 740X-6L ATA/133 hard drive using HD Tach 3.01’s 8MB zone setting.

The LANParty UT NF4 Ultra-D’s ATA performance looks just as good as Foxconn’s nForce4 Ultra board.

 

Serial ATA performance
Moving to Serial ATA, we tested performance with a Western Digital Raptor WD360GD SATA hard drive. Again, we used HD Tach 3.01’s 8MB zone test.

Our Serial ATA performance test results don’t contain any surprises, either.

 

USB performance
Our USB transfer speed tests were conducted with a USB 2.0/Firewire external hard drive enclosure connected to a 7200RPM Maxtor 740X-6L hard drive. We tested with HD Tach 3.01’s 8MB zone setting.

Scores remain close in our USB tests. Nothing to see here; move along.

Firewire performance
Our Firewire transfer speed tests were conducted with the same external enclosure and hard drive as our USB transfer speed tests.

Both nForce4 Ultra boards rely on third-party chips to power their Firewire ports, and DFI’s VIA VT6307 implementation is a hair slower than the Foxconn board’s Agere Firewire chip.

 

Ethernet performance
We evaluated Ethernet performance using the NTttcp tool from the Microsoft’s Windows 2000 DDK. The docs say this program “provides the customer with a multi-threaded, asynchronous performance benchmark for measuring achievable data transfer rate”.

We used the following command line options on the server machine:

ntttcps -m 4,0,192.168.1.25 -a

..and the same basic thing on each of our test systems acting as clients:

ntttcpr -m 4,0,192.168.1.25 -a

Our server was a Windows XP Pro system based on Chaintech’s Zenith 9CJS motherboard with a Pentium 4 2.4GHz (800MHz front-side bus, Hyper-Threading enabled) and CSA-attached Gigabit Ethernet. A crossover CAT6 cable was used to connect the server to each system.

The nForce4 boards were tested with the NVIDIA Firewall and Jumbo Frames disabled.

Had DFI chosen to use the PCI Express version of the Marvell controller rather than the PCI model, the LANParty’s second GigE port might have achieved higher throughput in our tests.

Update 6/13/2005 — We recently discovered that the ntttcp CPU utilization results included in this review were incorrect. The CPU utilization results have been removed, but they didn’t factor prominently into our overall conclusion, so that remains unchanged. A full explanation can be found here.

 

Overclocking
For our overclocking tests, I swapped our low-latency OCZ PC3200 memory out of the LANParty UT NF4 Ultra-D in favor of some of the OCZ’s PC4400 sticks, which are rated for higher clock speeds at more relaxed latencies. PC4400 memory is designed to operate at speeds of up to 550MHz, so it shouldn’t bottleneck our overclocking efforts. However, running the PC4400 memory at more relaxed 2.5-3-3-8 timings could result in lower overall performance if we can’t crank the clock speed high enough to compensate.

In testing, I was able to get the NF4 Ultra-D stable with a 245MHz HyperTransport link, 4x HT multiplier, and 9x CPU multiplier. The system would boot into Windows with a 250MHz HyperTransport link, but Sphinx consistently crashed. Above 250MHz, no amount of voltage or multiplier massaging could coax the system to load the operating system. (Of course, just because our NF4 Ultra-D system was only stable up to HT link speeds of 245MHz doesn’t mean that all boards will clock that high, or that some systems won’t go even higher. Your mileage may vary.)

Even with the CPU multiplier lowered to keep the processor running close to its stock clock speed, our 45MHz HT link overclock is good for a healthy performance boost in Sphinx and a couple of frames per second in Unreal Tournament 2004. With the HT link at this speed, our memory is also running 45MHz faster than spec, which could account for some of the performance gain.

 

Conclusions
DFI’s LANParty UT NF4 Ultra-D is a testament to how an intelligent array of little extras can really set a board apart from the competition. Just when you thought all nForce4 Ultra boards would be the same, along comes a board that glows under UV light, can boot into Memtest86, supports dual PCI Express x16 graphics cards, and has a nifty audio riser that seems to improve audio quality. Combine all those extras with a robust chipset, a great layout, and a tweak-filled BIOS, and the NF4 Ultra-D looks like one heck of a motherboard for under $150.

However, as great as the board is, it’s not perfect. First, the nForce4 Ultra’s basic AC’97 audio lacks both hardware acceleration and support for high definition sampling rates and resolutions. NVIDIA’s responsible for the chipset’s integrated audio, so it’s not all DFI’s fault. Still, the NF4 Ultra-D could have been equipped with a more capabale alternative audio controller like VIA’s Envy24.

Those who are serious about audio will definitely want to pair the NF4 Ultra-D with a decent PCI sound card, but remember, the board only has two PCI slots. I suppose I could gripe about the lack of PCI slots, but to be honest, I’d rather have extra PCI Express for compatibility with future peripherals. That said, I wish there were a way to route four lanes of PCI-E to the x4 slot and 16 lanes to the x16 slot at the same time. With all of those jumper blocks, you’d think there would be a way.

Those are minor quibbles, though, in the big picture. DFI has put together an excellent board in the NF4 Ultra-D, proving that paying attention to the little things can really make a board unique. If you’re looking for an enthusiast-oriented nForce4 Ultra, the NF4 Ultra-D should be on your list, probably at the top.
