DFI looks to have a winner here.

W00t, the site's back up, and I got the board runnin' now. :banana4: I haven't tried any OCin' yet, but thought I'd share a couple things. First off, I'm runnin' my mobile 3000+, booted right up AND correctly identified it. :cool: Also, you can run it with the Swiftech Northbridge cooler, but only with the stock X800 heatsink. The ATI Silencer 4 won't fit with the Swifty. I left pretty much all the settings on Auto, while installing Windows, and it's runnin' 2x512's of Mushkin just fine. :up: Welp, I just got done updating before I came here, so haven't really got a feel for things yet. Seems pretty nice so far tho. BTW, thanx to the guys that upgraded the site, we appreciate ya. :buddies: :toast: Oh yeah, thumbs up to DFI, for including DX 9c on the support CD. :thumbsup: The version ya dl from MS was givin' me headaches. :brick: ;)

ive heard memory slots 1&3 will gain you about 10mhz..

Will big ram sinks (let's say 1" high and base is exact size of the chips) cause a problem with the zalman, or a similar sized nb cooler?

edit-> did the forums already get changed again shifting the avatar and other stuff from the top of the post back to the side?

You need to play with drive strength and a few of the other tweaks available in bios. I have seen ram that only runs 3-4-4 run 3-3-3 with a few tweaks ;)

Same here, 270x8 10-4-4-3 and 1T, no probs...

http://www.forumdeluxx.de/gallery/da.../1701270x8.JPG

Got the baby upto 260x8 at 8-4-3-2.5 also (no real performance increase against 270x8 as mentioned above), but everything above is unstable...

Good to see that people like bigtoe are around :) !

I have a modded bios that allows up to 4 volts for the Vdimm.
I tried to upload it, but I can't, the file is 293 k or so.
so it's too big

Just give the poor people out here the LINK for download ;)

Got it and will hv to see how much I can squeeze out of that 3.3 rail on my OCZ 520W ;)

Oh yes, thanks to BigToe, I am a believer of these small tweaks now. My OCZ 3200 Plat Rev2, that I myself could only tweak up to DDR540, can now run at DDR580+ at 2.5-3-3 timing using BigToe's setting. Again, thanks Tony for all the help!! :YIPPIE:

@H2OGun
Got a link for those settings or do you got it from the OCZ forum ?

i would know the settings, too :D

this new DFI board is really awesome.

mY first run:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~famchow/A64_34...8GHz_stock.JPG
With STOCK voltage, OMFG

Unfortunaly the little bugs: wrong temp reading and some boot bugs.

Try the beta biossen tonight for more vdimm :banana4:

:slobber: this board looks :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing amazing. 3.1v stock?! Up to 3.5ish with right bios and good rails?! I'm curious as to how my bh5 will fare with this board...

Now i have a few questions:
if you were jumping into a64's, would it be a bad idea to pair a mobile with this board?
the booting issues with mobiles are due to lack of vcore, and has DFI said anything on this topic?
I'm hearing mixed things about what heatsinks this board takes, does the xp120 fit or not fit?
Do the sammy TCCD's really run as good as anandtech says they run?

I am very curious as to how well mobiles will pan out with this motherboard...
i'm wanting to pair a 3000 CH DTR with this :)
my optimistic goal is 2600mhz, realistic goal being 2500ish ;)

With that config you're running in a league of its own ;) Great stuff !

I got it from BigToe over the phone conversation yesterday. He helped me to hand test my RAMs so he knows exactly what setting to use for these sticks. But, as he said, play around with the Drive Strength setting. It really helps a lot!!!

Ok thx - will do :)

Can't believe my bad luck, got mine saturday but was DOA. :dammit:
How do you flash this 4v Vdimm bios, is it possible in windows with one of these programs, or do i need a floppy to flash?

@Zeus

My condolences ! :( The Winflash Prog is on the CD that comes with the board...

No, too small. There must be something funny with the file host. My first download of that bios (found here) resulted in a 92 KB file size.....too small. I downloaded it again and got the full 512 KB file. Used the Winflash utility (@ Zeus) to flash and got the fixes and the VDimm options! Maybe too much traffic for the host? Try again though, you'll get it. :)

Looky what i got :D

Heres my OCZ Support:
