I used the latest BIOS dating back to March 10 called NF4LD310. The problem with 1T and Venice looked as follows. When I installed two memory modules 512MB each (I tried a few different pairs of DIMMs from OCZ and Corsair) and set the timing to 1T, the system based on Venice CPU didn't work correctly. However, when I replaced the Venice based CPU with the one on Winchester or Newcastle, everything returned to normal.
Frankly speaking, I found a partial solution to this problem. If the DIMM modules are moved to slots 1 and 3 instead of 2 and 4, everything works fine with 1T setting, even though the mainboard display a warning message about the necessity to reinstall the memory modules into other slots. In this case, however, the mainboard’s overclocking potential gets significantly lower.
So, we should wait for the new BIOS from DFI.
