I'd consider something >= 500W, ASUS manual (yes I know its a DFI board) recommends >= 500W for SLI setup.Quote:

The 24pin converter does not split the 12V 3.3V and 5V +ground cables into the extra holes. On DFI-STREET ViperJohn and Angry Games discussed it in further detail, and supposedly the converter defies the point of the 24pin socket.Quote:

The OCZ has adjustable rails, i'll just do a sleeving job on it.
LOL digital camcorders using USB2.0...perphaps we have a diferent idea of what a real digital camcorder is (you must be talking about that Mustek crap and such)Quote:

Kill the OT nonsense.... this is a DFI 939 thread, not an "I love my Gigabyte's Firewire 800" thread or a digital camcorder elitist thread.
LOL..agreedQuote:

whats the difference between the 4 extra pins on the end and the 4 pin connectors for p4s? Im looking on www.ebuyer.co.uk for a decent 24 pin psu, any advice?
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=64849 this was the only one that I could find that was not either utter junk or had only 20 pins on the main connector. The 4pin P4 connector is quite separate.Quote:

HTH.
I'd reccomend this to anyone:

Not with all motherboards. The gigabyte officialy supports it as far as my knowledge goes. However, the DFI as far as i can comprehend from the Tech Support, does not. Upgrading to the DFI has already cost me way too much :(Quote:

Of course my Case-Mod projects are going to have to wait as i cant even afford the Lian-Li i wanted :stick:
Anyway, enough blabering, there is NO WAY i am frying a €300 motherboard. Looks like no upgrades untill next XMas, even my job doesnt pay this well. This board better be the best of the best of the best of THE BEST (which im sure it will), otherwise I'm onto a stampede screaming and cursing the name of god :p:
Dunno if this photo has been posted yet, but saw this over at ocuk forums: -
http://www.dfi.com.tw/Upload/Product...ackshowoff.jpg
Check out the removable sound board there, and also comes with an SLI bridge (thought DFI didn't need one :confused: )
Cant u just sell al your old stuff to fund a nice new graphics card for the new system? I'm sure u could get a fair bit for the 6800gt AGP.
I did. The extra costs are the price difference between the sale/new items and the upgrade.Quote:

yea, didn't DFI come up with something exclusive to connect two video cards( driver?)Quote:

Back on topic, I heard today that now DFI now expects their US shipment on 1/24.
DK is 30/01/2005 :D, and sweeden is a day before :D
OcUk reckon they'll have their boards for shipment in on the third week in January, we'll see eh.

Hi,
I'm planning to buy this mobo but I have some dubt.
I alwais owned ATI vga but last year I bought a 6800 gt and a 6800 ultra from xfx. I wasn't not confortable with them so I already sold the GT and I'm selling the ultra .
I have an x800@xtpe on mine regular rig, and already have an x800xt pci-x waithing for an pci-x mobo, but I would like to run it in sli mod for the nex future.
I read all the 3d and it seems there is no way to run ati in sli mode on this mobo, anyboy have some more news about that?
The other prob is about the power supply, I have an antec true-control 550, and I'm really happy with it, so do I need to change it for an OCZ? no way to use it with a 20-24 pin adaptor?
Sorry for my english
Ei I thought OT was also deadQuote:
