Nvidia nforce VNF4 Ultra

Hi Mitchr,
Have used (still use) a Chaintech VNF4-Ultra VE for several years, and may be able to help. Current CPU is an AMD64 FX-60 and previously used an Opteron-185 on this board. Both of these are dual core, worked very well as dual core, but neither was identified correctly by BIOS. Running an FX-60 labeled "unknown" is irritating. Chaintech quit making motherboards, support went from bad to worse, and then support was gone. Finally found relocated support site:



Every BIOS version is in one RAR file which, despite the upload date, didn't seem to have a bin file more recent than 4,19,2006 (it's labeled as "bios.bin" and matches "vn210419.txt" - lol). Later, noticed one file (vn210a02.bin) with a date of 10,2,2006 that had no associated text file. Was afraid to try it, but months later did. The Good: my "unknown" CPU now shows as FX-60, multiplier unlocked. Didn't check the Opteron. The Bad: CPU voltage limit reduced to 1.475v. The Strange: Bin file vn210a02 seems written to support a socket 939 SLI, motherboard, but where is the board? Anyway, Realtek Audio v3.74, NF4 v6.66 and User Manual are also there. Sorry for the late response.
