:D I see, but I think Ya don't have to blame the board - if RAM is killed by voltage it also could be happened on every other board.

BTW - not understandable for BH-5, myself pluged in some 2 weeks ago and running fine with 3,9 Vdimm at 2-2-2-5 / 275 MHz...........

A link to a store was posted on the H, and they were backordered a few minutes later. Even the higher priced SLI version is selling out.

:D My booster on NEO2 goes up to 4,1 Vdimm and my rails are overvolting, too........., but no need to, BH-5 on that board is maxed out stable at 275 and my lovely CORSAIR do that with "only" 3,9.

I just never understand why DFI doesn't make more for release date. They should have learned with the NF3 UT 250gb.

These days no company is making enough for release date. Just look at Nvidia and ATI. :rolleyes:

i´ve tested stability with 300mhz 1:1

Yeap that 12V rail is quite low I reckon. BTW how come is ITE working fine? in my case it just shows some crazy temperatures like 90 degrees celsious, etc

during testing in the cellar with the boxed cooler, the temps looked realy god, like you can see on the pic above.
but now after installing the watercooling setup, the temps increases
at the moment i get these temps (idle / all default):
cpu: 33°
pwmic: 44°
chipset: 42°
the cpu temp doesn´t look bad, but the others are too much.
this evening i run 3dmark2001 one time with 290x9 2,5-4-4-8 1T
and ITE show me pwmic and chipset temp in the red area.

now in idle my chipset temp is 42° and the chipset fan runs with over 7000 upm :stick:
i need a watercooler block for the chipset very soon :toast:

edit: sometimes the 12v rail goes down to 11,39V :eek:

No need to mod a WB on this chipset , i use the 120x120 fan blow into this chipset and my vids , the temp decrease too low and never get above 40'C even when i run benches

what 's your people's problem ? You can always preorder from ncix.

Also...well.."1000s of people wanna buy"...thats right....and if they (ZZF) have, say, 200 boards in stock...well 200 will get it and 800 just need to be quicker :) This item is highly in demand (d*mn bet ya)...and if it comes in stock at ONE reseller only dont expect it to be there waiting for you when you have time to check your mail.

I do, however, have to admit that i lucked out (well, i got the ultra, seems they had much more ultras in stock anyway) because i read some thread and all of a sudden someone posted...and basically 5mins after they had in in stock i RUSHED down the stairs to get my wallet.

I had another order lined up at ncix. So...even if i had been late...i still would've gotten the once from ncix. So..stop :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:ing. If you want something really BAD than i am sure you will get it.

Reminds me to the commies - they also have to preorder everything and then waiting years for it.............

:toast:

Ordering a ATI X800 or X850 XT *definitly* reminds me of commies :) Compared to THAT the dfi boards are a piece of cake.

That scares me. Although mine is an enermax, it's only 430W
I hope it to work well :stick:

X800XL + DFI NF4 Ultra + VX + 3200 + Winnie = Too many money to go for a 520W Powerstream just now

my "old" enermax 430 i sometimes think handles better then my fortron 530w... but as a 20pin psu with only 18a on the 12v i would be worried as well..

does somebody know the difference between rev. R.A00 and R.A01
or are they exactly the same?

Just recieved my DFI-SLi-D! Friend of mine was in Hong Kong this past week and grabbed it for me! The board looks sweet. Mine is a Rev A01. Will get it installed tongiht. Should be fun....

Just waiting on Fed Ex to get here with my 850XT PE today.

Specs are A64 3500+ Winchester, 1GB G.Skill LE, DFI SLi-D, (2) Maxtor SATA 120GB drives, XP-120, Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS, ATI Theater 550, ATI 850XT PE, Dell 1905FP, Logitech Z-5500's, Plextor 716 DVD Writer and Sony 16x DVD Drive.

Hopefully this 3500 does better than my last 3 3200's and 3000. Its a 0501, but who knows...

Will post tonight after I get it setup.
