It isn't an issue. It's the same on all of the Nforce boards.

maybe you bigtoe, (or any other one with the DFI/Wini/phase) can check if this MoBo has that bug?! :rolleyes:

Thanks!

The TwinMos Speed Premuim RAM wouldn't be bad its something like ~90 bucks at newegg for a 512mb stick and reacts to volts like OCZ VX

a "hardware fix" is in the works - one week before the launch ? :)

*Shrug* anything is possible, although very unlikely.

Wonder...maybe the early board won't be as good as the ones say a few weeks the launch date. Who knows, maybe its something small?

Perhaps a fix for the ati card problem, or MAYBE(really doubt this though, as it is very far fetched), they re arranged the SLI mobo to give more space between the pci-e x16 slots.

what ati card problem? if ur talking about clearence, it affects the nvidia cards even more so since nvidia cards are longer.(both same in height)

*Shrug* don't have it in hand, but only problems I have seen people reporting, video card wise was from the ATI crowd.

Ayup, still a bit close for comfort(considering r520s and such may have different dimensions?)

no video card can get any lower then that...

Yea, but if longer, perhaps the cooling could get in the way?

can you even slide a piece of paper in between that?

if tat fan ever dies its gonna be one heck of a search to find a replacement that would fit in that tiny space

if you have a 6800 in the top slot the fan is gonna suck 50c air off the mosfets and ram right into the chipset ouch
the nforce 3/4 chipest is in a really bad position. with a nv5 silencer i have a via nb hs and i had to bend some pins to allow for clearance.
i think wel will all have to go to water/ chiller/phase just to get away from the chipset

Yea what I was thinking of doing down the road, but don't want to have to w/c the gpu to start off, I'll need to save a little more =\.

That's why the launch hasn't come already. It's a hardware fix for "smoother performance" and a bios update according to what DFI (incl. Vivian) told me. I recieved a email from DFI yesterday saying the shipment was delayed 1 week.

Today the first DFI have been sent by DFI TW to DFI NL for Europe.
Waited on Thursday (01/27/05)

That's good news.

Sorry what is DFI NL? (I tak it TW means taiwain)

So they should be ready for sale soon? What do you mean "waited on thursday"?

Sorry for not understanding!!!

TW= taiwan, yes.
NL= holland.
Waited would be awaited i guess. As in they should arrive thursday ;)

:D Oh yes - english language is a profession............ :p:

Cheers for clearing that up!!! :)

So it could be as early as next week that we start seing these boards appear then, just need to get a bloody graphics card now.
