Thanks for all who are testing this board to provide us info the quickest way possible ;)

I guess you missed this: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=475

The difference was it was supposed to be created exactly like the ATI reference board. You could find info on it in the Grouper thread i guess :p:

Why then it has CF standing for CrossFire in its name?

B/c it supports crossfire as well. ATI reference CF board had different layout and design.

Yes. It is base on the halibut design, which is basically CF grouper.

Pure is made by sapphire, they list both single X16 and dual X16 boards, both are based on ATI reference boards.

DFI was also going to make a version called CF-BT, now it seems there are delays...why i don't know.

Hope this helps you

I really dont want to change the psu but if I turn up the voltages will that help.

Tony, is there any chance of you getting Abit's AT8 to have a play with? (I thought I remembered you saying you could before). I would be very interested to see what Abit have done with the ATI chipset, and ULI southbridge combo.

I am still waiting to see how things pan out, but must admit I'm disapointed to hear that the BT might be cancelled...that was one of my options and the RDX doesn't feel like the right move for me personally.

Thanks :toast:

Sorry that sounded confusing. I meant pure as in a ATI reference design grouper board. Not pure as in brand. My thought being that they made the NF4 in both SLI and single card versions. I was hoping they will be doing the same with this chip.

Tony have yo had a chance to run it with a 3000+ venice what wa sthe highest you got.
I seem to be stuck at 285 is the highest I can go with 9x multi,
Testing with 8x multi now.I also need to pump up the vcore to get it stable at 285 had to use 1.56v

ANother thing tony why is it the 180 divider is the only one that seems to work with bh5.
I can push the HTT but the board will not get into windows becuase of the memory.

Format Problems :(

Sup guys... well... i have some good and bad news, i got my computer together... but it won't let me install windows. I was wondering if anybody has had similar problems. I have the DFI crossfire board and my harddrive is a Maxtor Diamon Max 10 SATAII hard drive. I inserted the XP pro CD and went through the setup, but when trying to format it, it stays at 0% and then jumps to 100 before telling me that the drive cannot be formatted and it might be damaged. The hard drive is brand new, and i am getting activity LED's. I also got on maxtors website and downloaded their boot ISO's and formatted it that way and tried to install windowsa and it freezes at 75%. Does anybody have any idea what the problem might be????

See that floppy diskette that came with the mobo? Its the SATA drivers you need to load before XP prompts you to format the disk.

yup, that would be the sapphire pure line of boards.

You said its a SATA 2 drive. Does it need to be jumpered or flashed to run in SATA 1 mode?

I have both boards and I purchased this board for a new build and to partly retire my nf4 to server status, but until the kinks are worked out it will sit on the benching table for a while.
I will say this chipset is faster that the nf4 if implemented correctly, it will need time to mature but all good things come to those who wait.

I'm aware of the Sapphire board..I hear it has a tendency to blow capacitors after several hours of prime..my question is whether or not DFI has a grouper board planned anytime soon.

well actually you heard about a bad bios that blew caps... i dont think the board going to turn out too bad especially now that sapphire decided to change the caps out anyways for something of higher quality.

Good. That must be the reason for the delay. Then my only concern about that board would be the location of the cpu socket and how big a sink it will take. It seems to be right along the northern edge.

yeah, im really hoping for sapphire to deliver on this, i was hoping for DFI on the halibut release, and im really dissapointed because the DFI halibut would have bee nright up my alley.
