Have you looked at the XP-90?Quote:

Hopefully a new Zalman cooler will come soon then :rolleyes:
There are reviews of the XP-90 and XP-120 on overclockers.com that show the XP-90 comparing favourably with the XP-120.
Hmm, they tested using 50-76dB fans though, the XP-120 coupled with a decent low-noise 120mm fan allowed for a silent cooler for oc'd systems.Quote:
Ah well, lets just hope the XP-90 is that much better then and we wont need the additional airflow :)
That's pretty much what I am hoping too. The XP-90 is probably going to be better than the Zalman 7000 and the SLK-948U.
If the XP-120 makes a big difference, it might be worth the risk of bending some caps if that is what is causing the fit problems. If the problem is more than that, then it's the XP-90 or water!
This is an alright heatsink and fan system...
Thermaltake CL-P0025 SilentTower Heatpipe Cooling

That might be a good heatsink. However, I have seen too many people trash Thermaltake to want to take a chance on them.Quote:

I am happy with my Zalman...I got the all copper one:D
How do you take off the CPU retention thing? Just unscrew it?

I really wanted that SP 120 grr
disregard this post
Um...yeah ...it is very simple:D
You know what tomorrow is right??? DFI Release day!!! Yay!!
But I wont recieve mine until next week though:(
On DFIs site they have released the manual and all for it...go check it out.
From the looks of it nothing changed really in the BIOS from what bigtoe had in beta testing. The only thing I noticed was I thought it was going to have CMOS Reloaded. That would have been a nice feature to have on this board. But in any case that is cool. The board is going to run fine without it in my opinion. I still can't wait to recieve it in the mail come next week. I need to fullfil my overclocking needs and I really to need reload my OS and I am not doing so until I get this board so it needs to hurry the f*ck up! :D
Are the OCZ 3700 512MB sticks double sided? Because in the manuel is says that if u use 2 double ranked *ranked the same as sided?* would resualt in DDR333?!
Yes they are i think. but the manual also says that in the bios you can set the ram back to 400.
@ UGP: from dfi specs page:
LAN PARTY UT nF3 250Gb exclusive features:
8CH Audio(Dolby 7.1, 8ch supported)
Gigabit LAN(with nVIDIA Gigabit Ehternet)
nVIDIA RAID
nVIDIA Firewall(Embedded hardware firewall)
Japanese Capacitors
CMOS reloaded
Brand New Genie BIOS
EZ-on / EZ-touch on board power switch
UV sensitive slots
so i think it'll have CMOS reloaded
grtz,

Get 3500 and they are single sided I believe and they can run upwards of DDR500 speeds.
From what I read in the manual it sets all memory to DDR333 at default and you have to go into the BIOS and change it to what ever you want.
What I like about what I was reading is I can just go ahead and set my Memory at whatever FSB I want it to be without figuring out dividers and all. I am first going to max out the RAM and then I am going to max out my CPU on this bastard!!:D
@ bigtoe: is that right ?Quote:

That is what I was wondering too...I am not sure.:(
that doesn't have something to do with PC3500, PC3700 or PC4000.....all 512MB-sticks of OCZ are double-sided (a quote of andyOCZ of the OCZ-support-part)Quote:

Thats why you order one stick 512 3500EB like bigtoe used =)
All 512 modules are double sided. I would buy a dual channel kit so your ready for your upgrade to 939 dual channel later.
The issue with booting at 166 is a memory controller issue, nothing to do with the ram.I know you can usually force 3200 speed by setting auto in bios.
ah good....so, nothing to worry about :D
btw @ bigtoe: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...threadid=41548 :rolleyes:
well looks like Aussies will get price raped with this board first prices I've seen for this DFI s754 board = AUD$420 or US$305 :eek:
I will point DFI to that Eva...im sure they will look to get this sorted out .
Which reseller is charging that price Eva?Quote:
