that's lazy, it even says Lanparty on the PCB.
yup guys its built by DFI for Sapphire, exact same board just different colors to some components.
Early whispers are that this board is a monster overclocker ;)
:/ Kinda dissapointing that its an exact copy of DFIs.
Could this mean that Sapphire doesnt have much faith in boards they themselves develop?
It could be simply a move to save development costs. Sapphire is a fairly small outfit....
exactly, why not take an existing design and improve/change a few things, good move by Sapphire imoQuote:

DFI OEM for Sapphire
Or it means they both use the reference design. :rolleyes:Quote:

what the :confused: so we might pay less for the Sapphire (as it's the "lower" brand), but get the same mainboard? count me in xD
what do you think? will the BIOS be made by Sapphire?
I agree... I loved their older 939 stuff.Quote:

And i doubt that DFI would use the reference design for their Lanparty boards cause the reference design is what the smaller board makers use and DFI always wants to offer more then that.
Asfar as i know this is the reference design:

the green white black board that first popped up.
I guess Sapphire wanted to save money and DFi was willing to sell the design to Sapphire cause they got something better coming?
but weren't Sapphire's mainboards reference back to the days ATI didn't belong to AMD?
Monster overclocker board needs stronger overclocker CPUs... Are you saying that those whispers mean Phenon FX will be great overclockers?! :rolleyes:Quote:

itll probably be identical bios wise.Quote:

i think thats the saphire board meaing the bios screens form that article are what the dfi bios should look like. they claim its a reference board... does that mean dfi is selling us a reference board?
that mean we can flash oskar wu bios? wow... if it sell cheaper than dfi.... might be worth to buy it then :DQuote:
