This is great, but you guys need to let us know what you are doing to get these results! (I assume that's coming?)Quote:

Related but slightly off-topic, my Q6600 (L638F049) and my Mushkin RAM (2x2GB PC2-8500) arrived today which will be used on this board.
I think I'm going to return the Q6600 in favor of an X3220 (same price). Anyone here think I should do otherwise?
Guys
Just talked to DFI, they are holding some boards while they sort some bios issues, now 10 boards or so have been shipped....if you have one of these boards please stick with us as we are working thru an over clocking issue with Conroes and Quads...Allendales are fine so if you are using say a 6400 you are good to go.
So if you bought a board and delivery is now being held...you know why,please bear with us while we get the boards performing even better ;)

Fair enough, thanks for the update Tony! You certainly didn't have to let us know!
what sort of bios issues? "Holding some boards" Does this mean they are delaying the release?
Thanks for the heads up!
Why? It's not any more than a ASUS Striker Extreme or a ABIT IN9 32X-MAX. :shrug:Quote:

I think this board has only been in testers hands for a couple of weeks. I think the 6 month delay has been 680i chipset availability, DFI wanting to wait for a silicon revision to eliminate the inconsistency with overclocking from one chip to the next, and then DFI is just plain slow. It's not like the last 6 months has been a beta test period. Only the last couple of weeks and even then only by 6 people as Bingo pointed out earlier. There will be issues with this board (as already advertised) but name a board that has launched without issues? At least I have faith that DFI will want to make this board a success and ensure regular bios updates.
This? Bah, that's minor issues as far as i'm concerned. I've had an evga that's been giving me major problems and i'm looking to get off their platform.Quote:

Yeah, is there more than a bios fix involved?
Guys you will get no more answers....I told you we are testing and really thats all you need to know.
I have just received another bios that is in test now, Bingo and Rgone will test also along with Raja tomorrow...please just bear with us.
No problem. Thanks!
