I don't think we've gotten a firm answer, but that one article definitely mentions "low power consumption". I don't see how they could go to all the trouble of making an OC-friendly board, and have it NOT support mobiles. ;) We'll know soon. :cool:Quote:

Yes i've heard of a place called germany :D
But a store near me is a lot more conveniant than one in germany when it comes to RMA'ing stuff. Bought my 9800pro, broke it, 20min later i had a new one.
But for the DFI board i'll probably order in germany, since there are no shops near me that sell DFI, i have to order it on an online shop, so i might as well order it germany.
Do you know a good online german shop that sells DFI?

Best way is to look with these ADRESS
or this ONE
look at the evaluation note of the shop(IMPORTANT) for to choose a good one , i've order in two different shop in germany (i'm from belgium too) and I have already test the German RMA , that's SAFE (like France or UK , I mean) ,so don't hesitate my friends .
(but I will agree with your argument for some "delicate" product)
Is there really a price difference with Germany or is it just lower tax (VAT/BTW/ST, depending on where you live ;-))
I have searched twice through the entire thread and did not find this. Do we know for sure that mobiles will be supported out of the box ?Quote:

What are the final results with 2 x 512MB 3700EB installed?Quote:

I will be testing EB next and will post what results I get.
Is there a good reason why a board that runs normal processors wouldn't run mobiles? AFAIK the big diffence is transistor energy efficiency. Which is the reason they overclock better (same wattage will take the processor further)Quote:

I would also like to see 2 X 512MB EB3700 results....:D
Great thread you've got going here, bigtoe. I stumbled upon it the other day, and have been contemplating your benchies from this new DFI board with near disbelief. Fantastic stuff. And great work!
I'm new to this forum, but I have some DFI news--gleaned directly from two DFI contacts--that should be of extreme interest to everyone here (hopefully none of this will be a repost):
[1] The DFI Infinity series is now officially kaput. There will be no more Infinity boards. The LANPartyUT 250GB is the new name for the Infinity pre-production sample that bigtoe was testing.
[2] The MSRP of the LANPartyUT 250GB will be $129.99, with a current shipping ETA of September 2.
[3] DFI has selected ZipZoomFly as the initial outlet for the board. DFI says ZZF is supposed to begin accepting advance orders immediately--although as of this moment ZZF hasn't listed the board on their site. Maybe it'll show up on Wednesday.
[4] DFI says initial shipments will be limited in scope, and that for those who don't pre-order from ZZF, it may be mid-September before they can find the board at other resellers.
Who knows to what extent that last bit is marketing propaganda, but for what it's worth, I thought I'd pass it along.
Items I can confirm.
Infinity is gone, the board is a LanParty UT.
They will be shipping to reviewers real soon with Wes Fink over at AT getting first peak I believe ;)
All issues on the boards are all sorted...the bios as far as I know will feature all I showed here, I mentioned this was very important.
PCB is black now with colored slots etc.
939 is being tweaked now also and with luck I will get to play with this, and post results here for the xtreme community:)
Sorry for not posting over the weekend as I was at Ryanpgroovy's wedding in Vegas...fun was had by all with Sarita being a truely lovely bride....congrats Ryan :toast: :toast:
I must also appologise for not posting answers to some of the questions posted...DFI did ask certain details and pictures should not be posted....they want to tell you in person real soon the full specs ;)
It was also nice being quoted in the PR and its nice to see OPP doing well with the board on the ORB also...Nice one Eric :toast: :toast:
Please also remember guys I was using OCZ3500EB for all benches etc, some board vdimm and some "Booster juiced" ;)
Here's looking forward to the 939 ;)...hopefully real soon :D
Regarding 2x512EB modules.
I was able to hit 250+fsb with the 3-2-2- timings but not much more...to much load on the memory controller is to blame but you should all be able to run ddr500 with good EB with good timings.
For extreme benching you will need to use only 1x512 module.
So I can't OC well in combination with 2GB RAM? What a pity :-(
I just checked ZZF and it is not listed yet. ;)
Since they do ship to Canada, I stuck a Neo Plat in the cart to check shipping - $68! :eek: Guess I will be waiting till mid-September. :(
I will start by thanking you for the great work you do that we all benefit from. Now let me try to pick your brain a bit:Quote:

Is it accurate to say that for the majority of "real world" overclockers, as opposed to benchmarkers, this board will not lead to better results than the Epox for example? I understand that there is firewire support, etc. and higher Vcore and Vdimm settings, but... eventually our cpu will max out, and it doesn't seem that 2x512MB OCZ EB will run any faster on this board than the Epox.
I might be wrong, but I would think that most "real world" overclockers who are looking for gaming performance, etc. will be running 1 Gig of EB or looking to run this amount in the very near future.
Please correct me if I'm wrong... :stick: :toast:
Well, I'm a gamer, not a benchmarker, and my Epox 8KDA3J has been a PITA. If this board is anywhere near $130, I'm game. I can get $90 for my Epox easily. The DFI outclasses it in every respect. Not to bash Epox, but the DFI sounds like it will actually deliver the performance and flexibility I was expecting when I switched to the Athlon 64. I hate to be a sucker for marketing, but if it's good enough for bigtoe and OPP, it's good enough for me :)Quote:

After seeing the press release, I emailed DFI to ask about availability in Canada. I just received a reply from Vivian Lien, Director of Marketing, DFI San Jose, which confirms what cyberzaki said above. The text of her reply is as follows:
ZZF does not have a pre-order page up yet.Quote:
Thank you for your interest in this world recording breaking motherboard!
Due to the limited quantity we will ship initially, we are offering a pre-order opportunity for interested customers to be the first ones to test drive this board. Simply go to http://www.zipzoomfly.com and place your order. It’s that easy! Any pre-orders placed now will be fulfilled before our regular shipments (first come, first serve). The ETA for shipment is September 2nd. If you decide not to order in advance, you might have to wait for another couple of weeks after that. In Canada, you can purchase DFI motherboards through NCIX, Canada Computers, TigerDirect or London Drugs. The MSRP on this board is $129.99. To find the detailed specifications of this board, please visit http://www.dfi.com.tw.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
I got an email from DFI, expected debut for this board is 9/2.
So soon, very soon. Unfortunately, this means that mainstream availability is a week or two after that.
cut and paste from said email:

Hurry up ZipZoomFly! ;) I'm so psyched that they're selling the board. They usually offer free 2-Day FedEx. Newegg is nice and all, but I've been trying to spread the love to more vendors.
Thanx for the info, bigtoe, and Congrats to ryanpgroovy! :toast: I do believe it's time to browse zzf's site. :D BTW, I'm glad they listened to me, and went with a black PCB. :p: ;)
Tick tock. Tick tock. I feel like I'm waiting outside a store on Black Friday.
I emailed ZZF, and this is what I got.
Please note that we have checked with our purchasing department and they've
informed us that this item should be available for pre-order sometime
Friday. Feel free to check back with our web site then for pricing and
availability.
Sincerely,
ZipZoomFly
now, is it definitely to say:
S754 - Infinity
S939 - LanParty ?
or will there be a S754-LP and a S939-Inf ?
What processor would you guys reccomend with this board?
p4z1f1st: Read above, no more Infinity's :)
