yeah I know nop, it's kind of had to sort because people insist on grouping the expert and the crossfire together. either way, I like the expert and i would not hesitate to run any hardware in it or reccomend it to others. and like that really matters from a freak coming off a bender right kraggy? :D

No, they have it right guys. It is user error. The user's error was ever buying the board after first D-E-D (will have to have seen Spawn to get that little joke) cpu showed up.

I just got an email from them saying

"1207 bios was to solve the random code in the bios and is not related to V-code and that its just a rumor."

I am thinking v-code=v-core, i am using the expert with the 4400+ X2 & yet to face any issues. I will have to do a lot of cold booting & shut downs & see.

I cant see how its user error in my case , hell it didnt even make it to bios before killing the cpu , nothing at all on the screen before it died, mine died instantainious, and i know it was not my fault. But after flashing bios that board is fine ?

You still use a screen?

You don't have Vulcan mind melt with your voltage controls?

Dude, the board is called "Expert" for a reason.

there hasn't been any statement from dfi one way or another and it has never been stated, except by kunaak. rumors and speculation aren't doing anyone a service.

So should I remove battery before First Boot of MoBo??? :D
Cause now I'm really confused... :confused:
My Opty 146 will come on a day and I'm not sure what should I do...
I've already have 12.07 BIOS on BIOS Savior Chip, and Oryginal Official 11.02 on the Oryginal Chip.
