what is the max vcore i can give my fx55 under my vapo ls 240w? (for 24/7)
Where is the proof of an nf3 DFI 939 board?
i hope, the DFI doesn't have vcore-fluctuations...
Dont know if this is solid evidence but here is a pictureQuote:

There was also a thread on the DFI forums about an AGP Nforce 3 version that got deleted as one party (mod on the forum) was saying it was going to be released, and DFI where telling people it wasn't.
Most of it still exists here.
The nail is this.
An update news for you. Due to the information update from Nvidia that they will start to mass delivery PCI express chipset by end of Sept. It means that PCI express card will be popular in Q4. So we change our product plan. We have decided to cease the production of nF3 Ultra D and enable new project of nF3 SLI/Ultra -D which can support PCI Express card. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Well, if DFI doesn't release an nf3 939 board, that sucks. No way I'm upgrading my AGP card to PCI-E any time soon, so I guess I'll be going with the Neo2.
that thread contradicts itself, if you actually read it all.
sounds like everything is on track, you just might see an 939 nf3 ultra with other vid options besides AGP.
Unless it comes from DFI itself, I wouldn't put too much stock in the rampant speculation surrounding these boards.
Everyone has been waiting for these boards, and that causes the rumor mongers to get working.
DFI hasn't said anywhere officially that there will be no nf3 ultra AGP 939 board.
4vdimm and 2,1vcore is MAD :D
VX, LS and a FX-55 would be nice :p
Could this be the BEST motherboard EVER offered to the OC'er at least since the KX7-333R??????
2x256 bh-5 at 2-2-2-5-1t
13x276=3588mhz ;)
or
2x512 VX at 2-2-2-5-1t
14x256=3588mhz ;)
That plus an x850xt pe at 840/680 :)
How about 2 x850 XT pe's in VIA DualGFX Express with volt mods and dry ice on both gpu's?
have you guys seen any X850's locally to buy? Out here in Canada I haven't seen one and ATI is a canadian company.
your not going to see the X850xt's yet they have not been released for sale yet, lol.
Jan 12th I think is the shipping date for the x850's
I think that could work also ;) we still need that 3500mhz cpu though :)Quote:

Wow this board looks awesome, possibly my next motherboard. H2Ogun 4vdimm and 2.1vcore thats insane. Before updating your BIOS make sure you save that one, next one DFI might release might not be so gracious with there BIOS :p:

this is via k8t890 pro chipset on their refference board. The only gripe I have about dfi sli is the need to use Nvidia. We all know that nvidia is crap for benching. It amazes me that DFI chose to use a limited chipset. Why not use a chipset that allows 2 video cards(sli) regardless of video card brand.
Are you sure they wont support ATI at all, or maybe they just set up the BETA versions that way because they have some deal worked out with Nvidia, so they would get a boost in sales initially.Quote:

now we need some killer ram to take advantagd of this mobo
***looks in OCZs direction***
OCZ OCers DREAM ram that K icks A ss
Kit PN – OCZ5001024OCERSDRM-KA
DDR500@2.9v 2-2-2-5
DDR600@3.7v 2-3-2-10
now that would be sweet ***begins to weep in happyness ***

VIA chipset doesn't need it, so all cards should work. If you want the DFI board you will HAVE to use NVIDIA video cards only!!!!
Aaaaaarg ... this reminds me the microsoft- micrpsoft explorer case ... Nvidia just takes advantage of their Chipset monopoly!Quote:

so this thing uses 4vdimm safe ? so i could use 4vdimm on my ram with no extra cooling except on my ram and it will work fine and not burn out the mobo or anything ??
what nice pics you have? :DQuote:

WTF? opb. Is this thing really necessary? Is this going to enable other cards other than just nvidia?
Well, even if it goes up to 4v, you still need the power to get your 3.3v line up to 4v if you want pump that much juice into your ram. The good news is, even if you have a psu that has sufficient volts on the 3.3 rail, you will at least get your vdimm up to 3.3v with no mods.

Just hope it gets to Sweden real fast, will be stuck with PII 450 after the 15th of january :(
I'm sure they use the 5V line to run the mem voltage:DQuote:

Wouldnt it be stoopid by DFI not to allow ATI cards on the board..
Glad to here Kriller
A little history of the NF3 250.:DQuote:

Howcome Europe and US are generally excluded from HW manufacturing/testing/design with the proud excpetion of ATI/Intel/nVidia? :( Not fair :)
Just because Taiwan is the center for everything related to hardware?

K8t890 uses dual gfx express(similar technology as sli) and you are not limited to one brand of video card.
Cheap Labor;)Quote:

If i'm not wrong,you showed screen of the SLI part of the Dfi Nf4 Manual,right ?
The Sli part showing support for the Sli of Nvidia
Would y show us a little more about the next part,named Dual Xpress Grap.....
Cause if i'm not wrong,Xpress is the name Ati have for their Chipsets
Could it be that Dfi have something in it sleeve concerning ati ?
All I know is ATI won't need that bridge to comunicate between the 2 cards, they will do it through a driver.
OPP
Sweet. No more relying on a DDR Booster.
EDIT:
When is the ATI solution expected to be released?
Aha, so that was what you meant. We have always know that SLI is nVidia only, I hope the VIA chipset is a really good overclocker and DFI will make one of those boards too :) Or they meybe will realse an ATI (amr right?) board...Quote:

So you say that there will be a possibility to run 2xATI PCI-E cards in "SLI-mode" on NF4 SLI cards in the future??Quote:

I wonder whether DFI intends to sell a single board to any non-enthusiast at all because even red hot large warnings with bold font size of 56 in the manual wouldn't stop those ordinary users at least to try out what's that 4.0v setting - and damaging their value ram in quite a short time.Quote:

Dirt: Not on a nVidia platform, ATI:s own chipset...
Edit: Atleast as I have understand it...
Kriller is that a fact?
EDIT: OK ;)
That was my understanding when I read the news about it.
Offtopic: Anyone got that link with one VIA guy that testet an X800 and PCX5700 in quake 3 on their multi-gpu system, can't find it...
Edit: ofcourse trans_am, I wrote that a couple of posts higer up.
And VIA K8t890Quote:

Here you go
OT: Well since we have a lot of OC Guru´s in this thread I´ll take the chance to ask if you would go for a nVidia 6800GT (non-SLI) solution or a ATI X850XT on this card.
x850xt peQuote:

And of course Jessfm! Thanks for hosting this :)
wow that board is just amazing
OPP, AMR will have a bridge but it will be between the pcie slots with the chipset. So basicly its the same thing, just that it will work will all of the ati pcie cards, unlike nvidia who has to make special pcie cards for sli.
I scrolled straight down to the BIOS stuff on that PDF manual. Looks like we'll be having memory options galore again. :D
Loading the Long waited Manual ;p
Gonna read from start to end until the board finally come out ;p
WORD :p:Quote:
