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:

: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.
bigtoe, what can effect the boards from EU?
Im ordering SLi-DR from Germany.. I should get it soon next week.
Quick question for those that already have there boards up and running...
I am not using the higher voltages for my TCCD memory, so do I need to plug in the molex and/or 3.5" floppy power source to the board? I didn't see any mention of it in the manual... A quick repsonse would be awesome as I'm finishing up the board installation right now.
Section 2 page 58 of the manual:
Quote:
The 4-pin +12V power connector enables the delivery of more
+12VDC current to the processor’s Voltage Regulator Module
(VRM).
The HDD-type and FDD-type power connectors are additional
power connectors. If you are using two graphics cards, we
recommend that you plug power cables from your power supply
unit into the two 5V/12V power connectors. This will provide more
stability to the entire system. The system board will still work even if
the additional power connectors are not connected.

Good. I guess, further questions can now be delayed until the overclocking and stability of the board has been tested. Let's really hope it will be the same as R.A01 or R.A02 boards :toast:Quote:

Thanks for the replies Blindbat and XGman!Quote:

Initial impressions so far are:
Power ckt looks really good
Really like where the ATX power connectors are located
Like that they have space between the ram slots (install in 2 & 4)
XP-120 fits great!!!
SATA connectors are at the edge of the board
Heatsinks on mofsets are soldered to the board. No tape!
Very little room between my X850XT PE and the active cooler
The only con I can see right now is those who have 6800 Ultra's in SLi! Very tight. My ATI X850XT PE goes almost to the edge of PCI-e #2.
:toast:
thats what i hope too, mine is A00 as well, do you plan to let run mem on high voltage ? i already post some pages before that one of my BH5 died at 3.4v. hope it was my fault and not the mobo. if you can, please check high voltages on your A00 rev. i'll check my VX when they come from RMA.Quote:

Is A01 a later revision than A00 then?
Yes it is.Quote:

Trying to decide whether to get the SLI-D or DR.
Here screen of my DFI with 3000+ and watercooling. of course 2800 is just screen stable :-)
i love this board :D

Hey guys it seems that my trouble would never end with this board. Now I can only seem to install win x64 and NOTHING else, tried w2k, sp1, sp2, nada, zip, zero. This of course happens when I try to install with my raptor on sata1. I only see the "setup is preparting etc" and then no go.
Are you trying to insall OC'ed? Try to take the clocks back to their nominal values.
