Actually tony is reffering to the clearance from the chipset fan to the PCB on the ATI pci-e card. Opp had a problem because his board was warped from the Evap head mount.Quote:

HPM-COMPUTER.DE is getting it from DFI Netherlands the 26th. The expect shipping to begin the 29th.Quote:

Is it neccessary or is it useful to cool down the chipset to -40°C? Or doesnt matter this? I ordered my dfi nf4 ultra last week :) I hope it rocks with my bh5 sticks!
Is the "chipset" the same size as regular "NB" with same mounting holes? Could someone verify the height between the top of chip and bottom of vid card. It would be helpful so we can start getting parts now. Would a 20mm tall block fit that had water ports on the lower portion of block as to not interfere with the card? Copper is act. 10mm.
You will want the water ports to come out centered between TWO video cards, so it can handle SLI, also needs to take into account the impact of any heatsinks on the videorams.
Same for the water blocks on the GPU's. the top card GPU block needs to not interfere with the bottom cards backside ramsinks.
Even if ATI takes a while to get SLI-ness functional, 2x X800 would make a cool 4 monitor desktop setup a snap. Even more nasty would be two Apple 30" LCD's each powered by one X800 card.
looking here, http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...389#post676389 , (it is all I have to go on), it seems there may be enough room above the lower card if someone was running two. Also (the orientation part I have not got to), the hose may be able to go to the back. Height seems to be the unknown. ***edit: I see what you are saying, about possible caps etc. being on top of the lower card....
:lol: that will need some times to do thatQuote:

then what do you think .... with an evaporator block? :confused:
no waterchill with ethanol as I cool my nb and graphicscard on my nfII ultra infinity
is the vx doing any better on this board? or is it exactly the same?Quote:

Hey,
Just wondering what 3200 Dual 2x512mb Ram would work good for this board for $240 or cheaper?
Thanks!
If you don't plan on o/cing(don't know why you would want this board if not), get some value ram from corsair, kingston, mushkin etc.
If you want to o/c my suggestion is G.skill pc4400 LE 1gb, just wait one more pay period, can be had for about 270 shipped at the egg.
OPPAINTER,
Small favor to ask, if you have the time and processor.
Is it possible for you to try a Winchester under cascade and the DFI nf4, and be kind enough to let us know if it works or if the famous ''winchester under phase change'' problem is also present with the DFI?
Last item for me to order is the processor and I wonder if I should go 3500+ NewCastle (until such time as Venice is out and hopefully not having the same problems as winnie), I will be using it on a modest Vapochill XE II.
OK cool,
If im not overclocking with this board.
Will this Kingston
http://www.us.ncix.com/products/inde...cture=Kingston
have a huge advantage over the ocz if not OCing.
http://www.us.ncix.com/products/inde...Z%20Technology
Nope but I'd go with something like this if not o/cing(btw why buy this board if you aren't o/cing? You would be fine with a less expensive solution I'd think?)
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...146-299&depa=1
why on earth are u paying out for the DFI if not overclocking? If your not then any RAM rated to pc3200 with ok timings will be fine no matter what make.
At stock speeds higher quality ram just doesn't have much of an advantage over lower speeds.
Where the sweet spot is at for ram such as the g.skill I suggested for O/Cing is when you start getting at higher FSBs. Where running a 280+ FSB at a 1:1 ratio with your memory at 1t and lower timings such as 2.5-3-3-7 or whatever it may be is greater than what value ram will usually give you, as it will sometimes only run at 2t, need the use of a divider etc.
I understand the bios change, but can you state what the hardware change was? Is it something that will help OCs or cure any certain issue? Can you elaborate?Quote:

I think most definitely they will fix the NB fan clearance issue.
Sorry, don't have a Winchester, in fact I have never had one. So I never got the chance to even see the sub-0 cooling bug the chips have.Quote:
