Not like it's good anyway
alright - finally DFI has acknowledged this board! I heard in the other thread for this board someone mentioning a October 6th retail date...lets hope they're right!
I only want the dfi grouper board
My DFI wishlist
No onboard sound
No onboard LAN
Collective mosfets for active cooling(i.e. new ati chipset boards)
A non SLI version
that is all... for now...

Well I just checked and my Enermax Whisper II has the 8 pin connector with the 8 pin to 4 pin converter piece. Im so happy :D

Mine seems to work great.
Issues for some... I've seen people report problems in DFI-Street about it, and the mods tell them "you should have gotten one from the approved list".
Well, if this board supposedly has its voltage problems corrected (whatever they were), I guess it will be a non-issue. Plus, I've got that snazzy 8 pin connector so I'm all set.
(still need to finish sleeving that damn thing. :hitself: )
Well, I guess I'm one of the lucky ones with no problems. I bought my Seasonic simply because of the bual PCI-E connectors and the 8-pin. I hope it will last me for a while.Quote:

my pcp&c 510w wont work with this mobo?
If the Lan is in the NF4 chip anyways, why not use it? it would be a waste to not route it out... I have to agree that the second marvell PCI nic is a bit useless for anything serious. screw the PCI bus! Same with the extra sata ports.. it's totally useless for a serious raid array.. an 8 disk raid would in theory be capped to 266MB/s..
Assume one disk can pull 60MB/s
on the sil. you'd have 4 disks times 60MB/s = 240MB/s, but wait! it's capped to 133MB/s.. in a raid 0 all disks perform equally so the NF4 sata ports will be limped also to 133MB/s which means the theoretical limit for an 8 disk raid 0 is 266MB/s.
Now if the extra 4 sata ports were on PCI-e 2x or higher you would get something like 480MB/s out of an 8 disk raid 0 (60MB/s per disk).. quite a bit better, and would go up more with better performing disks.. unlike the sil. pci controller setup.

The mobo can operate with the 4pin plug also.
But it's better to use a 8pin a. power.
