Shoot an email to DFI. As I said before, all boards sold in Hong Kong are of RevA01. Maybe a new board owner from US can tell us their board revision. Let's see if BigToe's 20 components changes have made it into a new revision.Quote:

Boards in the US aparantly have 125 on already so you should be good to go. I have 131 if its not already been posted up.
Newegg just got the DFi mobos in.....DFI nF4 DR-SLI
I just placed muy order. :banana4:
wooohoo. I just placed mine too. Thanks for the heads up Kraggy!
As a matter of fact my board (Ultra-D) is revision A00 and came with the 119 bios. I have flashed it to 2.01 and the only thing I noticed is the Enable bank interl. in the memory section (of course now the bandwidth is even bigger than before). Don't think that my board is a beta. Delighted with DFI support.. so many BIOSes in so little time :toast:Quote:

Well it's not time to start with the complaints, but I have a very odd one here.
I have been using the Ultra-D with the XP installation I got from my MSI Neo2. My HDD is a Raptor 74G. The thing is, I cannot install windows under any circumstanses! Even by starting the installation from windows or from a bootable CD!!! it will always stop at "setup is now... your hardware"!!! Even an hour ago it could not even BOOT when I had my raptor connected to the Sata channel 1.
Yes I have changed the channels, yes I have loaded optimized settings, yes I have tried another cable! After 30 minutes or so of PURE maddness, it started working again! With my old installation of course, I still cannot install windows again!!! Shocking!
Any ideas?
could be mem issue.
My mem is the OCZ VX, so I doubt there is any problem with the memory and as I already stated, I have tried the optimized-default settings, no oc, no nothing!
Oh- I hope this isn't an issue with the Raptor, cos I have one too (a Raptor, not the DFI board- yet) :( Read something about issues with NF4 and Maxtor SATA'sQuote:

well, the nf4 sli dr is outta stock, but the ultra D is still there at newegg. Getem while they last!
Thanks, but I've got one on order from Overclockers here in the UK :) . Supposed to have been in today, but apparently the delivery guy got "lost" :rolleyes:Quote:

Sorry its off-topic, but could you do me a massive favour and measure the thickness of the NF4 chipset HSF- if you look at the thread on watercooling the chipset you'll see why I'm asking ;)Quote:

Yep Brighton rulz ;) I got the board from a German site man, couldn't stand to wait ;) Although this problem now is teasing me a bit...Quote:

However, I posted some more questions (quoted your post, bigtoe, there) and am waiting on answers right now...
The wise choice would be to keep your board and if and when we have a problem it would be ok to return it for an RMA. Any links to what you mentioned above?Quote:

Of course, I'm going to check how it overclocks anyway before sending it anywhere. Just Angry's suggestion made me think of something.Quote:

BTW - did Your avatar find someone to hitch-hike ??? :lol:
:toast:
Methinks that the best option to have our conscience clear, the best way would be to send dfi nl an email on behalf of us and have them explain themselves.Quote:

I was assured all A00 and upwards boards have the ECR changes, the only issue you have is swap the bios to 125 or later.now it seems the boards in the EU ahve 119 and the boards in the US have 125 already...so this may only effect guys in the EU.
